Hi All In a previous post, i sought advise on problems with stability on my Zed..... I had Darren (Zed Guru) go over my motor today. He has recommened the following require a change: (i)Rear sub frame bushes, (ii) Rear hicas steering rack. (Hence the problem with stability!!) Any ideas where I get these parts from ?? The rack will have to be 2nd hand as a new one costs 1K+vat. (Beginning to wonder why i never stuck to my corolla diesel....lol) CheerZ

Hi GuyZ, Just found the 'alternative supra site' http://www.pornolize.com/cgi-bin/pornolize2/pornolize2.cgi?lang=en&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rolec.co.uk%2Fcgi-bin%2Fikonboard%2Ftopic.cgi%3Fforum%3D14%26topic%3D140&submit=Pornolize%21 CheerZ, Andy

Forgot the aerial was electric and drove car out of low garage door this weekend and managed to snap the aerial. Anyone know if you can get a replacement mast or will i have to fork out for a whole thing. Cheers. Paul.

Have gave my new motor a good going over, needs quite a few parts am in the motor trade but nissan prices even with discount are pretty wild anyone know of a reasonably priced specialist or had experience of ordering parts from the states, pitfalls etc

DAP can now get hold of direct replacement clear side repeaters, if anyone cares. £25, well worth it!

Has anyone out there done away with any more than the cats I am sure that I can get more power if I can junk the EGR valves etc. I have no cats so dont really see the need for most of it any more. Also has any one fitted poly bushes to their car (18 piece kit) good/bad/indifferent?

For those moments when work just doesn't look interesting enough to do. So anywhere between 9 and 5 then! http://www.bigidea.com/penguins/kids/k_spacedpenguin.htm

I have uneven tyre wear on my front tyres only, they are both wearing badly on the outsides. I called Micheldever tyres and they said that they will charge £25 to do the trackng. This is to check all 4 wheels and track the front ones. Then a bloke at work said that this is a con as they will track my wheels and then say that it is the calipers or something and this will cost around £100 and will have to book me in. Is this true.....?

and i thought you lot were mad... http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001566.html

Any of you have pictures of yourself instead of the cars? I think it'd be nice to match the car with the drivers =) I'll post up mine if anyone actually replies lol

Well my first full tankfull made no difference whatsoever to the mpg and no discernible difference to performance - it just cost more and it was a pain to find. I'll continue to use it for about a month just to give it a chance and then decide. Maybe it's just a 'track day' fuel rather than every day. Make a difference to anyone else ? Maybe it only makes a difference for the more highly tuned engines and when they're driven harder than just in daily traffic ? I'll publish my fuel consumption figures sometime soon and you can judge for yourselves. (If anyone wants a copy of my noddy fuel calculating spreadsheet then let me know).

I have the annoying screech when I pull off on a damp start (about 15 to 20 seconds) and I need to get it changed, ASAP! How Much? Where's best to get one from? Can I do the job myself? It it a nightmare to do? About time I tapped into the knowledge on here instead of taking the pi**! All help appreciated! Matty. ------------------ Am gonna be gettin one of those, one day...(sigh) :D

Danny, Can't make today, tried to call your number but it's telling me it's not in use! I have to wait in for the plumber, my hot water pipes burst this morning, not too much damage as I turned the water off and drianed the system right away (I know where the valve is) but I have to wait for the plumber to arrive, friend of the family and he will be here ASAP, but that could be 5 O'clock knowing him. We will have to arrange for another time. Let me know you get this, I will mail you also now! Matty. ------------------ Am gonna be gettin one of those, one day...(sigh) :D

I hope they're kidding 1. Chevrolet Camaro 2. Pontiac Firebird 3. Mercury Cougar 4. Ford Mustang 5. Chevrolet Monte Carlo are my top choices for my personality from that survey, ugh....... they're all domestics AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh

I'm looking for either a Z32 metal emblem, or a Z32 decal, anyone have any ideas on where I can purchase one? I've found one to say Fairlady Z, but I can't find one that says Z32 hm.............

I feel a bit foolish but when changing my oil today thought check out connector to oil pressure sender for cleandiness etc.Now on a previous zed I changed the seder so no mystey there, except, its not there? spent a good 30 mins and even checked the manual, little pic on page LC-5 shows it screwed into the oil filter assembly...nope not there,did Nissan ever move the location of this? My gauge works albeit not too well so help. Jeff TT

Hey Timmyturbo me old z looney congratulations matey, you did it!!! ordered your new stillen!!! welcome to the land of dogs nads and lobsters you are gona love it matey!!!

Have come across a good deal on Castrol Magnetec from a slightly dodgy Nissan dealer £10 for a 4.5 litre can!! if I buy 10 now that is cheap,I changed my oil again today ( Charged me £12 for a single can) as the debate about fully synthetic oil been too thin has had me thinking that maybe a synthetic base oil is more appropriate for the tt engines and as I have done some recent upgrading (JWT Chip,boost etc) I have lots of trade contacts and this is by far the cheapest price on Castrol.The guy told me how they sell it for that price and I was gobsmacked, all I can say is never take any car to a Nissan dealer for an oil change!!.
