So, car is off the road for the winter. When it comes out the garage in the spring it will need the timing belt changed and I'm also getting the turbos done, possibly upgraded to a higher spec. Looking like costing me around 2k from the garages up here. Is that a reasonable sort of price?

i have a '95 NA LWB manual and it needs a complete exhaust system really, can you get the uprated exhaust manifolds anywhere in the uk? and i have a set of decats left over from my TT, which we are going to modify to take sports cats, as technically it should have cats. but i want pics/ videos of what everyone has in the way of cat backs,??? my TT has a very loud system on it, so don't want anything too loud as its a daily drive. so what can people recommend? got to still be available to buy somewhere lol.

Hi guys done some more bits to the zed, Painted: suspension arms Diff And finished off underneath Underneath is dinitrol stonechip so not ment to be a nice finish, just black and bumpy lol, But should protect it, I hope. Even the diff is painted in dinitrol stonechip unsure what it will be like I'm hoping it's ok and shouldn't chip off. Not going for show finish just want it clean and protected. Lots of pics lol...

Hi guys, Right then my latest problem after the flood is that my turbo timer has died! No biggie some might say but the engine won't turn off straight away, it runs for about 30 seconds and switches off, like if the timer was working. The thing is the timer reads 0 on the display and no matter how many times you push the buttons the time don't change. Where abouts do these things wire in as my loom dissapeared under the dash and I don't know where it goes haha. Cheers, Rob

Just been out visiting and came back with my own copy of the 300zx bible. Happy christmas to me...

Removed and deleted the oe boost solenoids and pipework, and found mig tips in the hoses! I am running a Profec 2 boost controller so another stupid question:pinch: I can throw away the tips cant I ?

SInce I got my car back from the body shop - cracking respray and I'm very pleased with the work undertaken - but now the targa is leaking badly on the drivers side and not so badly on the passenger side The car was pretty much dismantled for respray, and they had the targas apart as they gave me just the glass panels to be tinted The rubbers all look like they are there and when I fasten down the targa the two little 'notches' in front edge of the rubbers seem to locate together - but it still leaks The water is dripping down from the the bottom of the three pod guages i have on the driver side windscreen/door pillar - if you see what I mean - so water see…

I'm removing the front bumper to get the splitter repainted. I see its been discussed before but has anyone got any pics/diagrams of the fixings as I don't wanna put it around and snap anything. Thanks in advance.

OK It's done and I like it :thumbup: Thanks to the various advice on here I made a few changes to the body kit In the end I left the bonnet bulge off - but have it sprayed white should I change my mind Personally I don't mind it being on, but like the car without it too The front bumper is the Viper V1. I had to get the centre part of the bumper modified so it sits level with the headlight panel The rear bumper is a Shark V1 but very much modified so it's hardly recognisable asa shark. However IMHO it looks great on the car and the tail pipes sit very nicely against the bumper now The side skirts are Demon - but with the vents modified to f…

obviously most would agree that mechanically the z32s greatest fault is space, that engine is in their snug! which causes and creates a whole hoast of other issues. however thats not what im thinking about, been thinking about bobs car today and how well it goes round corners. thinking back i seem to remember pete saying that nothing drastic had been done to the chassis. so what is it about the stock setup of the z32s suspension that makes it less good through the turns than many other sports cars of a simular weight class, im led to believe the z33 and z34 go round corners far better? obviously other cars of a simular age im thinking yank tanks have issue slike crappy le…

hi guys can anyone tell me how I can tell what my oil temp is as iv got a clock for the car cheers ted

A nice zed arrived this evening at the workshop via the AA, the sticker on the windscreen illustrates the perils of driving in bad weather, left it unchecked as time was getting on, so will see what tomorrow brings...have a bad feeling though....shame. Jeff TT

I was sitting on a side road just off a round about on the A600 just before bedford, i saw one silver (i think) zed with a wide arch kit (looked like the abflug) with the same rear wing as baz had that went past, heading away from bedford, and a black zed about 30 mins later, going towards bedford, i flashed the dude in the black, but not sure he could make out what was flashing him. Between 5 and 6 pm tonight.

Lol most stupid thing ever. Just went out to my breaker and in the middle of Targa glass one has 4l and the other 4r, Just checked my zed it don't have it. It looks like Its done with the little black dots... Is this oem.

Hi guys, As above I have 2zeds ones for parts, The breaker zed has perfect rear quarter windows. Mine are scratched up a little, how difficult are they to change. They look hard would it be worth the hassle. Any help appreciated.

If i buy a front set of skyline r33 gtr brembo brakes will i have to change the back or can i leave them for now? caz they lock up loverly with my handbrake and i wont have funds for a while but can i get away with this?:punk:

I've never really thought about it before but the SWB driver position seems a lot tighter than my LWB ever was. I'm thinking maybe that the lack of rear footwell may play a part here. Even with stock seats removed and smaller Sparco's fitted in their place it just feels more cramped Has anybody else noticed this?
