So, last week had a bit of a mishap where by my striking arm decided to come apart while driving and left me in 3rd gear. after a quick ring to JeffTT at zedworld, a new arm arrived the next day. A bit of welding work on the old one and i could drive it very carefully to my friends house in Corby to finally get to work on it. Though once welded, you need to leave your gear stick like this, or you will snap the weld when pushing left and right to get 1st / 2nd and 5th / reverse. the removed arm looked like this. Not the neatest weld, but only had to get me 15miles. and worked quite well. the U-Joint actually gives you left and right movem…

Need a new clutch. Something stronger than standard. What's good and where do I get it from? Also, might as well change my flywheel while I'm at it so some recommendations for that too. Anything else worth doing/replacing while I'm at it?

To go along with my new front end, I was wanting to black out the indicator/side lights to give it the black moustache type thing like Andy's was Using the search function I came across some old threads relating to tinting the lights, and some talk from Si about UK spec standard tinted corners, and of course these bad boys http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?167638-Tinted-Indicators-Back-up-for-sale-!!!&highlight=tinted+indicators looking about ebay and from a previous conversation with Tony B I found these ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/90-96-NISSAN-300ZX-Z32-TURN-SIGNAL-BUMPER-LIGHTS-SMOKE-/141068602557?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Access…

Vacuum lines? I am running a profec B and have deleted AIV, EGR, Water pipes, PRVR, wastegate solenoids.... I am left with 2 vacuum nipples on the Drivers side turbo inlet pipe and 1 on the passenger pipe..... do I just bung these up? I was just going to connect the 2 drivers side ones together and somehow bung the passenger one up? It's a bit confusing as to which vacuum pipes I need, as this is the first time the engine has been together after the TT install.... I think I understand that:- I take the 2 pipes from the Profec B II solenoid and connect the N/O to the actuators via a T piece...... the Com to the 2 pipes feeding the throttle bodies via a T …

Been on other US and Australian z32 sites and seems to be recent developments in intercooler pipe sizes. See link for some impressive numbers on stock turbos. Apparently IC pipe dimension can have a big impact on power. Any body tried bigger (2.5") intercooler pipes (with bigger ICs too)? http://www.300zxclub.com/showthread.php?t=205330

Watching the pennies but not that much to buy crap tyres. I have on the front 9 inch wheels 235 40 18 on Toyo proxes T1 Sport and was about to order some of the same tyre on the back only 265 35 18 for £136. online normaly retail in shop around £170 mark. Then i now came across Toyo proxes C15 ONLY THE NEXT SIZE UP AT 275 35 18 For £128. each and they rate at 4.7 out of 5 and the ones i put on the front rate at 4.2 whitch is still a good tyre. You see , what would you lot do ? bigger tyre and cheaper or stick with whats on the front and stay with the 265 and pay a little more, but the other tyre has a better rate?

Keith (KJZ32) and I really do get about. Yesterday we left Keith's place at around 12:30. We went to see Mikey Bean in Doncaster to collect an exhaust and some clocks for Keith and I (Great to see you again Mike, and thanks for the much needed cuppa bud). From Doncaster we went to Leicester to see Baz to collect an engine for Keith (cheers Baz was good to see you and thanks for the tea). We then travelled to Derby to see Mark Derby to drop a drive shaft off for him, (good to see you buddy) your Zed is amazing. We then drove back to Keith's place where I picked up my car and drove home, getting back for 02:00 this morning. We start again on Monday, with a drive to Ma…

Hi All Just a quick question as I'm about to pick my Fairlady up (needs a flatbed). It needs a new battery (1.1V) and it's an auto, is it one of these autos that needs power to move? Someone told me some autos wont move without a power supply (news to me but not about to disagree). Andy

I don't know weather it's just the hoarder in me, but i'm a little reluctant to just take it to the tip. Does anybody want it????

Having won some awards at JAE voted for by the kind members that attended I have a video of what made me I think, the winner of a couple of categories !! I added to it last night at home on the drive as I wanted to show what happens to the lights at the rear when I apply the brake and if you go to my youtube channel you will see I have posted a brief description of what is going on and/or what is possible.

I'm thinking of doing a test next friday at Castle Coombe, make sure everything is working properly, bit more seat time, adjust brake bias etc before the final round at Brands Hatch on the Sunday.

Pit pass allows you to wonder amongst all the TimeAttack cars in the garages and allows you to stand on the pit…

This rare Nissan interior was available on the 89 Z32 model and looks like a left over from the Z31 era......not sure I could live with that? Jeff TT

Just bought a nice and handy 1/4" drive ratchet and extensions. (britool as well) Now known as " the marque of skill" Absolute god send for getting into difficult places on the Zed's engine bay! So chuffed I thought I would share. It has even got push button release so those little sockets stay put. I got it off e-bay believe it or not.

any ideas where i can get them wheels 18" or 19" z fitment ? :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RAYS-VOLK-RACING-ULTRA-3-SPOKE-3-PIECE-SPLIT-RIM-ALLOY-WHEELS-17-5x100-TOYOTA-/200965433811?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item2eca7929d3#ht_3019wt_1170
