was cleaning my zed and came across the factory sticker under the arm rest on what tyres are spec for the uk models mine is in factory condition with wider rears at the moment the last owner put on there fronts 215/55/16 and the sticker says i should have 225/50/16 rears 225/55/16 sticker says 245/50/16 i can see im ment to have what the sticker says but the car looks good with whats on there and sits nice any reason why i should change before they need to be if i had to change could i use the rears on the front and just get 245/55/16 for the back anyone got any ideas

Looks like this winter I will be having both sills replaced if I decide to keep the car, where have you guys been having your sills from? Or is it cheaper to get a bodyshop to fabricate them? Many thanks Dan

Guys, I started to remove the engine from my Z yesterday and have removed all the ancillaries and got to the point where I've unbolted the engine mounts (each side of engine). Prop is still in gearbox at the moment (how does this come out - does it just pull out?) Is there a mount at the back of engine? If so, where? I can't seem to see it. Anything else? I'm trying to remove it with gearbox attached - do I need to drop subframe? Cheers

Guy,s, Can anyone reccomend brake pads that do not leave to much dust on the wheels,,,,,,, fed up constantly cleaning them lol Cheerz Chris

like the title says do you use one ? if so what one is it or recommend

it feels slow its currently an auto i tested it today and it took a full 4 seconds to go from a rolling 30mph in d to 60mph considering the car is supposed to do a 0-60 in 5 and half it doesnt seem very good. its super fast once it gets going but it just seems to take a life time to get going. ive mentioned before it also feels like clutch slip obviously that isnt whats happening cos thers no clutch. but you can boot it and the revs hit the roof and you go no faster. grrrrrrrrrrr.

Guy,s just found this, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKYLINE-R32-R33-R34-300ZX-350Z-UNIVERSAL-TOP-SECRET-STYLE-REAR-DIFFUSER-BLACK-/140735529095?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20c47dc087 I know its not the TWINZ ONE lol,but looks good to me and not having to wait years to get one lol Cheerz Chris.

Having had the sub-frame out, along with replacing inner and outer HICAS track rods and ball joints. I thought it best to check the alignment of the rear wheels. So I have bought one of these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390427020071?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Is there anything I need to know so as to get good results? or do I just drive over the thing and adjust accordingly? Really do not want to set the rear end up wrong so any advise would be very much appreciated.

bought a set of these off sumopower on wednsday.now the pack and the lable state z32 300zx but do the fit..do they f00k..female connectors on both ends..now am i missing somthing here thanks

sounds simple enough, but as its the ECU loom im going to be faffing with, would rather know how to go about doing it, getting annoyed with feeling something isn't quite right with the timing, car seems lumpy ish so may as well do this correctly so i can then set the timing correctly as well to rule that out.

Probably worth more than the zed!!!

Is there any way to check if the MAF is working properly or not? I had it out today out I have a feeling it might have got wet recently. Also where's best to buy them?

thats that done ..booked the hotel for Friday and saturday at the heaves Hall for the Lakez meet..29th - 30th June anyone else going on here ?? .......ill be taking my new camera so loads of pictures when i get back..... me the missus and my little white terrier and one fat assed zed

So what's happening with this dibs in selling parts? As I called dibs and it got ignored and a mod bought the parts. Does this not stand anymore? Just so I know for next time when dibs are called ill just ignore and proceed to buy even if he or she is online to close the deal. I was waiting for a price so could not close the deal so called dibs.

I'm looking to buy a set of 19s, importing from Japan. Its pretty important i get the size spot on. So i reckon 8.5" up front. Will 10" be ok at the rear without major work? Bolt pattern 5x 114.3 So, what offset should i go for?

Hi bud, Am i right in thinking you have used JapanDyno to import wheels etc?? I've only recently realised how many bits and bobs are over there lol. I've always been put off by the language barrier. Anyhoos, there are a few things i'm after including a new set of rims. Would you recommend him. We've sent a few emails back and forth and he seems like a nice fella. Just looking for some reassurance before forking out a couple k for some wheels - i know the experience you have had with the RX7 Thanks

i know my cherry red zed never did this, so wondering if this is because timing or something, but noticed when i accelerate, get to speed, if i come off the gas, the car kinda quitly pops and gurgles like you hear race cars do, if i coast in gear with foot off the clutch like im letting the engine slow the car, it does it but feels like the car is trying to "bunny hop" (like when a new driver doesnt quite pull off right). not sure im explaining this correctly, if i hold the throttle at the speed i want, it doesnt happen, if i floor it, i have to hold on, so its definitely not down on power, im just wonder if this is "pinging" that i hear about, but cant seem to find…

Guys, Looking for some ideas on placement of my gauges i have ordered. Were have you all located yours? Pics if at all possible please. Cheers in advance

On the way with changing my turbo's and was just wondering if anyone knew what transmission oil to use? As I might as well change it while I'm at it. Is 75W-90 Semi Synthetic alright? Thanks in advance :laugh:
