Just been and had my Zed washed Went to the shop got a new bottle of wax and some cloths. Get home ready to shine her up and it starts to rain :(

I found this interesting article on the TT engine and the vast differences it has to the NA engine and thought it may be of interest- http://www.autospeed.com/A_109870/cms/article.html Before I get shouted down that it is elsewhere, if it is, heyho, but it still might be of interest to others on here.

Ok, so I need to look at having my car mapped. What should I do to prep the car in advance of having it done? Tell me everything lol

Hi everyone, Im very close to getting the car undersealed by JR Classics in Doncaster, anyone from there or nearby know of them?

I am putting my refurbed standard wheels back on soon, which way round do they go (side)? I have tried to look for pics on the net but they seem to be half one way round and half the other. A pic to show the correct side (rotation) would be great. Thanks

I am trying fit my turbos in the 200sx conversion, I need to rotate the outlet housing to another position. I have loosened the 4 bolts that hold the 2 'C' plates on the exhaust housing but it still won't turn. I'm sure that's all that needs to be undones for it to turn? Also there is now oil in the exhaust section so the seal must have been broken? I've given it a few taps with a hammer but no joy, any ideas???

Hi all. All I seem to do is ask questions, so sorry in advance. I have had some serious setups in the past. However I dont want to go spending £3k let alone £1k on an audio system this time round. Im not up on the latest audio equipment. and would like to get it budgetted at under £400, which I appreciate is low, but I dont want subwoofers etc... Basically I would like some decent standard fitting speakers for the front and rear, run by a single 4 channel amp which will fit under either the driver or passenger seat, to keep the installation simple and discreet, but much better sounding than OEM fit. My car never had the Bose upgrade, so has standard sp…

A bit of an easy one, so where am I ? rep for the winner :D

Saw a Reg G reg at Yate American car show in the car park...

Having one of those days where every one has it in for my car, first a kid almost runs into the front of it on her bike as she doesnt look while crossing into my lane on the road, then my mates neighbor reverses into the rear of my car, then some numbnuts almost takes the front end off my car coming out of his drive in reverse, the i get some idiot in tesco's car park almost reverse into me, then feck me if coming up queensway, some woman just trundles her car straight out in front of me at a junction. so glad the car is home, seems no one can drive today. i was even driving like a grandad due to how people are being out there. didn't want to hit any or anyone hit me fast…

Not been on here for a good few years. Basically after some help if anyone knows the whereabouts of 2 300zx details below both off road for a number of years please let me know last know whereabouts in the Walsall area. Its a long story but years ago without naming any names I trusted a guy to do a lot of work on my 300ZX and he kept promising he would do this for me even had the money to do this work for parts it was going to be a top engined high powered Zed. Anyway about 3 years ago he relocated to walsall and took the cars with him on a trailer promising the work would get done. Anyway for the last few months I have been busy so not contacted the guy for a w…

Veeeery nice car mate. I tried catching you but you went off towards Sunderland and I was heading back to Doxford Int'.

ECU compatibility... Will a Manual tt 95 (Series 4) ECU work in a same 91 (Series 1) car? cheers...

I finally received my cable and software for Nissan (Nissan Tecu 2.5). And after checking error codes, i got error 34 (Knock sensor circuit). I did cleared it, but it came on again. So i reckon it's either cables or sensor itself .. Any other ideas?

Anyone on lowered springs or coilovers? What ones you got if so, and whats the ride quality like? Any pics of your car lowered? Just trying to build up a picture of preffered springs and coilovers as well as the driveability on them, with speed bumps and bumpy roads etc. Would also like to know wheel size and drop amount if posting pics, just to get an idea of things. Thanks

Can anyone tell me if the measurement across the width of the front wheel base and the rear wheel base please? Reason being is, I have been trying to set the rear wheel alignment and would like to know if there is an offset between the front axle and the rear axle. My initial hopes are that there is. Either that or I am way off! Lol

Ok, I have now purchased my boost gauge and will be fitting it this week. Now the question is were should i fit it in the cabin? I have been swaying towards removing the ashtray and fitting it there, but keeping the lid so to keep the standard look when closed. Anyone done this before or is there a reason why this isn't an option? Any other suggestions fire away. Cheers in advance

I have got a noise from my n/a manual gearbox when in gear. I can only describe as an "induction air sucking" noise, it works fine and has the thrust bearing noise when the clutch is dropped in neutral but just wondered your thoughts, I'm going to do an oil change so will see if it cures it,

I stumbled across a small car meet today, had a great laugh with the locals!!! 2 old dears wanted their picture taken putting there lip stick on, the zed stole the show to be honest, i could have made any name up, coz no-one had any idea what it was lol, a fella with a 280 tvr was boring me with stats on his car, he soon shut the fook up when he saw under my hood lol!!!
