Well i bought my alloy wheels 2nd hand last year and fitted them straight away but not having driven many miles or at speed for some time its only since i started running my car this year i noticed quite a bad vibration from the front end over 60mph. had the car aligned and all the wheels rebalanced to no avail until after some tinternet research turned up some comments about plastic spigot rings. I must confess all the alloys ivehad in the past on all my cars have ben more or less a direct fit so ive never come across these rings before. So while on fleabay i came across a set for £4.95 posted so took a punt and bought a set. So they arrived, a nice purple colour t…

Hi since changing the gearbox oil and cleaning all the connections by the ecu my zed wont shift out of 2nd gear ....... new gear box? :( Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

last week my car was covered in tree pollen, was busy so i only had time to jet spray most of the pollen off and dame it don't half stick!! this week end got round to cleaning it proper only to find the pollen has some how eaten into the paint making it look like there's fine speckles of dirt over it. To top it off I only had the rear of the car resprayed late last year :cursing: (was starting to wonder if the bloke just used water colors to paint the car!) so if your car is pollen;ed to **** clean it immediately

I've just installed a profec B2 ebc. I've read loads of posts on here about setting it up and have been playing around with it. After lots of adjusting & testing my max boost is now steady at 13psi. Bearing in mind that the engine is stock apart from chip, exhaust/induction should I be happy with 13psi or can I safely up it further? It feels like a new car already. :)

Seen a Real Cracker of a 300zx down in Camden town market yesterday at T time. its was a shortie looked like a slickie with black shinny roof and pearlesant creamy mother of pearl body work jdm. didn't have time to stop as i was driving past it and i only caught a glimpse at the last second. would it be a member on here?

Is this an easy fix? :helpsmilie: I think I have read that it is due to a weakening of springs, would this be correct? If this is the case, is there a write up somewhere? Also, is there an upgrade to the springs that I should also consider? Any help would be much appreciated as it is driving me mad!! Can't stand rattly engines.

Hi guys, My attempts to get my zed on the road has been thwarted with another set back... Horrendous knock from rear cylinder, rh side when looking at engine. I reckon big end - question i have is it possible to replace these with engine in car? Any advice when doing this? Thanks!! M

Anyone removed the delay on the interior light after closing drivers door? I have fitted an alarm and if I set alarm straight after closing door it thinks door is open because light is still on, and it chirps 3 times which is annoying at late night.

Anyone have a rear passenger side light? Cracked mine :(

vielside01702 did say quote: Well it is our anniversary... And yes she said no z's... But she just said I can say hi to anyone locally.... Lol well dose that mean locally to norfolk or anyone who happens to turn up sunday. locally? were you staying bud? comming out to play steve61 anyone else in the area sunday?

Ok, Ive decided to strip my interior out of my Z, initially the seats and carpets and then... who knows what. Been in two minds about spending some money and making the car perfect but at the end of the day its a NA Auto and will never recoupe what I would need to spend to get it how I want it so... Ive done a couple of sprint days and have to say I really enyoy it, the Z's a bit long and heavy which makes it a little clumbsy but with a few adjustents it could be even more fun, being auto wasnt a massive issue but may have the conversion done when funds allow. Also I'd like to see how much I can improve on the 16.6 drag times. Not sure if there is any value in t…

Jus a quick question. How can I wire the dimmer for the dial into the existing one in the car?

Well we made it an z is running better after long drive..... Anyone about today or tomorrow in Norwich?

What symptons would this split pcv hose have given me? Had a few issues last year hoping this was the main cause.

Anyone know where I can get the above preferable mint or new at a reasonable cost. Seen a new one by a trader but at £195 which is a little expensive for the 3 items. cheers

Hi Guys, I am currently bidding on a set of uk spec clocks on the be the bay. I assume its no major issue to change the odometers over as mine is a import and I would like to keep the mileage correct or am I better to change/ wind back the odometer on the clocks that's in the dash pod if I win them?

As you all know ive posted a lot threads on here wanting help . I intend to keep the car till its dying days , ive spent a fair amount of money correcting things , thing which are stressful and some which make me feel better, it seems that soon as I fix one thing another turns up lol. expected though I guess as she's 25 years old. Changed the auto gearbox oil the other day, oil came out really black, however there where no metal deposits in the sump it was just oil. nothing stuck to the swarf magnet either. after the change it ran fine, but now its starting to take a little longer to change gear, almost like its reving really high to about 4000 + before changi…

Hi, I have just sent the zx in for a full service and check suspension - I had a call today saying that the is a feint knock at bottom end and they recommend re-build. Can the big ends be done with engine in or has it to come out - I suppose if it needs to come out then perhaps its time to have other work done - at the moment I have moderate upgrades - divorced downpipes - full stainless system - apexi air induction and ecu upgrade from zedworld several years ago- - have uprated clutch as well. Ideally I would love to be able to get more bHP without stressing the engine but not chasing mad power so I suppose 400-450 BHp max- I was toying with bigger turbos and bigger…

Thought I'd have a quick peek at the steering wheel issue I have this evening, and it turns out no matter how tight I tighten the two 13mm bolts either side the wheel still shifts from side to side, after further examination I noticed that there is two alloy V shaped sleeves on each bolt which the plate slides into. do these or used to have some form of plastic bush type or rubber? as mine are totally bare. if so where can I get some from please? ;)

Hi guys n gals I bought some 600cc Injectors from PFI in Canada that are supposed to be a direct fit for my fuel rails They came with some adapter collars for earlier series Zeds (which is mine) However Lee Dent says that they will not fit because my car as the earlier type injector caps and I need the newer type Quite honestly though Lee has described as best he can I can't quite figure which bit I need but here are two pics he sent - the first pic looks to me like one of the injectors I bought with the adapter collar fitted - the second one (the little flat thing) is apparently what I need - he calls it an Injector Cap Can anyone help? Does anyo…
