These must be the nicest standered wheels I have seen for sale :thumbup1:They have come from Japan so they dont have the wide UK rears but they look so good and love the tyres also. What do you think guys would you have them on your zed? I would. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300zx-set-alloy-wheels-16-inch-Fully-chromed-Bridgestone-Potenza-/261033259991?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&hash=item3cc6cb73d7

Finally got it all in yesterday, ended up with a few left over screws but all in all not too bad at all. First time its had a wash with the refurbed rims on, could of done with taking some better pictures but they'll do for now.

(1) I'm wondering if the electrical short that's causing the rear light issue (ie. there aren't any apart from rear indicators) could be caused by my fitting the grounding kit, and maybe attaching it to something that I shouldn't have. I can't see what though, so here's a quick clip: and (2) I removed the rear drivers side hub from the driveshaft in order to fit the new DW polybushes and since replacing it, I noticed that even with the driveshaft nut tight, there's a fair bit of play. Would this be a bearing issue or have I forgotten to tighten something else/not replaced a washer etc? any ideas guys??

Hi I am wondering about buying some hood vents. (GTR vents) I have a problem that the engine gets a bit hot when the weather is warm. I don't have the platsic shield under the engine anymore. Could this cause the hot engine problem that the hot air gets pressed up during driving?

HEllo everybody, Just bought a 1990 z32 tt (t bar) and realise that the car have these problem and i need help ..... 1. prop shaft rattle / vibrates when takes of and hard acceleration 2.air con was running superb but air con compressor cut off after in about 30 mins ( notice amb reads 41 deg) in a traffic jam and only comes back after about 10 mins . 3. What wheel offset are the best looking for standard cars ( not wide body) in 18inch staggered wheels? 4, anyway to repair or diagnose the boost gauge in the speedo (not movin) Thanks Robin

Well having changed my fan clutch this morning everything was going great, thought id take the car out for a test to see if the new clutch fan would have a say in how hot my car got. Drove to kettering, all of a sudden the gearbox decided it didn't want to change gear and for some reason my engine temp was very erratic, going from 84 to 103 then back down depending on if i was going around a corner or not. so limped the car home, turned the engine off only to notice smoke and the smell of burning plastic coming from around the battery area of the engine. on closer inspection the cable tie holding the engine loom in place had snapped (most likely from age) and …

Think this is tescobags car, thought it was pretty funny it was at tescos :laugh: Really bad quality photo taken with a camera phone

Hi all, Just took some better pics of the car today, it's had the rear quarters painted and the rear bumper and I think it looks LOVERLY!!!!! See what you think, and also feel free to comment on the wheels :) Thanks guys :) Wayne.

as above really, im going to make the ac redundant, and add a more accurate water temp gauge. during this process it seems a good idea to use the existing fan, as addintional cooling. nissan wisely madethe ac fan an emergency overheat failsafe, however id like to lower the limit it cuts in at. id be maintaining the viscous, adding a junction fitting to allow me to run the aftermarket temp gauge. so what else whould i need and where can i purchase the parts to make this idea work.

just found this.. looks really good.... not sure if it's been posted before, but has manuals for different years... http://z32.wikispaces.com/Factory+Service+Manual

just got the Z though its MOT and surprisingly it passed :clown: The MOT man did say there's slight play in the rear wheels but wasn’t sure its suppose to be like because of the HICAS. So is there suppose to be slight play in the rear wheels? Cheers

hi all looking for some info on what i need, i've just bought a artigo a100 mini pc to use in the zed as the base for my carputer, also got the screen etc but i know the artigo has a dc to dc psu built in but i dont think this will suitable for use in car to protect from charges surges etc (correct me if i'm wrong) but being a pico itx board it only uses a 12 pin power connector and all the in car psu's i'm finding are 20/24 pin any ideas out there?
