Hi all, I'm having my wheels returned this week and I'm concerned that they're gonna make my standard, but tired looking callipers look even worst! I've always been a fan of red (especially as the car is also red) or shall I go silver, or somet totally different? Could give them a good wire brush and tidy up and keep it standard but whatcha y'all reckon?

right i have seen a few diagrams of fitting for the boost controller. i get that the actuator pipes need to be T'd together and ran to the solenoid but do you T off to both intercooler pipes or just the one and blank of the other pipe that run to the other side of the solenoid?!?!?! i would have thought being a twin setup it would have to be T'd to both...... im totally confused with this

Looking at buying some 1989-1990 original clothe seat covers from the US, will they fit JDM seats of the same year. Thinking about it, they could be from the earlier version. cheers Paul

Afternoon guys, Started my zed up this afternoon to run it for a short while (it's off the road now for winter), just to make sure that there are no problems with it, no leaks or anything, and of course to keep the battery charged... I know it's been sat for a week and its been cold but there seemed an awful lot of smoke coming out the exhaust - is this normal or should I be concerned? Vid of smoke below: qve-fNzX5Ww Also, after turning the engine off, for a minute or so after the engine goes off there are some small wisps of smoke that come from the exhaust as well, see other vid: S8dTid5Cif0 Am I just being paranoid or is there anyth…

well i took my rear seat out today to find i have a couple of small puddles of water under the rear seat no idea how the got there or where from so looking for and ideas on this, i did have a leak around the rear wiper because the seal rubber was worn and not sealing correctly, i fixed that today but can't see that causing water to get under the rear seats, i do have a very slight targa leak but thats onto the fron seat

Anyone know a good place to get a valuation on my car for the insurance company?

Anyone know the dimensions of the pipes? I know the MAF diameter is 3", just wondering about the inner diameter of the turbo intake piping (elephant trunk) and the bend angle of the silicon reducers. From pics they look to be about 50mm and 45° respectively. Cheers.

Hi guys, Anyone know if there is any drain holes in the sills, mine has skirts fitted and can't see anything. I'm hoping the flood water isn't sat in there rotting the car from the inside! Cheers

Just come back from town after shelling out money to get some work done on my daily driver to find that the roof on my car port had come down in the wind and a bloody 10 foot 6x6 timber post laying on my zed!!! I'm gutted after all my hard work, lots of scuffs and scratches and the bonnet is a write off, badly dented! Not been able to have a proper look ad the weather is terrible but I have had it now really, one thing after another, watch this space for a breaking thread!!

anyone know someone who would want to replace all the brake pipes on the zed with copper? Shes just failed her MOT on corroded pipes, and they all look properly shafted, but obviously the labour cost is pretty chunky! Anyone fancy some cash in hand or know someone who can/recommend garage?? (wellingborough, northants area)

fingers crossed people!

Hi guys, After my flooding incident how can I tell what condition my engine is in? Need to know if it's ingested water and what should I check/clean to try and get it running Cheers all

I've just removed my 18" Work alloys for refurbishment and noted that they don't have 'O' rings which, I assume, explains the vibration at various speeds. I know the 300zx's hub diameter is 66.1mm but how do I go about determing the hub bore of the alloy, it doesn't appear to be written on it anywhere. I've measured it by tape measure and naked eye. The thing is 'ebay' advertise rings which fits bores of 72.6mm and 73.1mm, how in feck's name can I accurately determine a difference of 0.5mm? I'm confident you guys will come up with the answer.
