Well my day started at 05:00 1st Aug. Up showered and out by 06:30. From our place drove to Shrewsbury to pick up Acraig (Adam). From Adam's place we drove to Banzai Breakers (Paul) in Farnborough, to collect my new Impul body kit. Thanks Paul. Had a great chat with Paul, and collected a couple more bits while we were there, including a front wing for Lee Dent. We then drove to Chippenham to see Dave (1Daveg) and his 1990 pearl white Zed that he had up for sale, and what a very nice guy Dave is, and his car is fantastic. Adam was viewing it as a potential purchase. It didn't take him too long to make up his mind that he was buying it as Dave has kept it in …

As the title says, I've taken ownership of dave's gorgeous pearl white n/a and having done over300 miles in it today without it missing a beat I'm sat grinning ear to ear (sorry dave) would also like to say a monumental thanks to Ian (300zx_666) for taking me from shrewsbury to Chippenham and then introducing me to Keith. Absolutely brilliant! Such a nice gesture and will always be happy to help out where I can :-) chuffed chuffed chuffed!!! Amazing!! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Hi Does anyone know the diameter of the rubber hoses that join the the pipes to the block. They are about 3-4" long. Thanks Dan

Hey everyone, So we all know the veilside is the nicest sounding exhaust (IMO), I was wondering, what are the runners up, and what exhausts/combo might create a similar sound to the veilside? I have been youtubing for hours and am yet to find anything close the the veilside! May have to be waiting a long time for that one. It seems to have the perfect balance of loudness, along with that classic sporty tuned tone. Would be interesting to hear opinions on the other runners up though! All the best, W.

hi guys just if any one can tell me why my rmp go up and down sense i change the air filter for single to double !!!! but my engine never cut me off !!!!:wink::no: thanks Nelson

Ive been doing loads of looking into this as the good SMIC's are very expensive, and the ebay ones are a terrible design and i doubt the core is very efficient. The two ive came up with vary in size and cost, but both will not require much pipework to fit and maybe flipping one of the end tanks. first up is the cheapest: 1- The SMIC from the VW TD group of cars. They measure 8" by 8" but vary in thickness. If you get the lower spec its only 2.5 inch thick, but if you get one from a 130 spec car its 3.5 inch thick. The outlets are 2.5 inch so would require 2-2.5" reducers ( around 7 quid each) You can see the design in this link to a google image http:/…

Hey guys this is aimed mainly at zedworld but how much ballpark would it be to have a supplied and fitted TT Engine into my shorty. Currently its a n/a but not sure if the cost of getting the engine right and how I want it will be more in the long run then a swap.

As above for a manual box

im off to lithuania tomorrow :) 1600 miles trip one way ... will have 10 day to work on my zed and still can`t decide what color i want to respray it :( it is pearl white at the moment ...

Well went a picked up ades old zed today and got her home and for the first real drive of the car I loved it even though its on 5 cylinders atm it still felt like it could pull the tits out of most cars... Had very little pertrol in it and forgot my wallet so could not really take it far but loved it none the less. Now the long list of stuff that needs doing goes on.

Ok so looked over the www and cant find any replacement low beam bulb, been to motormania and halfords and theyve never seen a bulb like it, its the one with 2 spades, does anyone know where to get one from otherwise ive got the part number and ill ring nissan tomorrow :bored: cheers Tom

Sorry to keep banging the same drum, but my quest for a new exhaust is not over yet. I was recommended this shop from a bloke on the Aus forum. and looking at their collection, this one stands out. Any one had any history with the shop or the system? http://www.amsmotorsports.com/shop/ind/300zx-z32/exhaust/greddy-spectrum-elite-catback-systems.html

So a poorly zed in for a cambelt + other work, the cambelt was tacked first as clearly the cam end seals were leaking as escaping oil had run down the front of the engine and covered the alternator etc. nothing too bad however whilst in there I did discovered a few Kodak moments........ So once stripped down it seems the belt was not that old looking, however it was very oily from the cam end seals as I expected, however the run of the belt was not to good especially over the lower right hand pulley, closer inspection shows the pulley had been replaced by pressing a new one, however it was on too far and the belt had been running over the pulley by 4 mm or so......no…
