Hi guys, Is there a trick to getting them off without removing the water pipes on the front of the engine? I can't believe you have to however nothing would surprise me. Cheers

My other ones been off the road nearly 4 years with s blown engine It's got a replacement in now just waiting to be connected up But I tell u what it ain't half good to be back in a zed again :-)

Hello peeps! Well after fitting some new shocks yesterday as always there is another new problem to sort!! My passenger Door will not open!! Tried the handle on the outside and the inside and it just will not open... The internal lock looks like it's moving when I lock and unlock it with the central locking but it just will not open using any handle... The million doller question is how can I take the interior door trim off while the door is shut!!! Im guessing a rod or something has come loose from the door release mechanism . Really feel up creek without a paddle on this on, the passenger window still operates but don't wanna lower it too much incase somethi…

Seeing as I was replacing my lower front ball joint and my anti-roll bar drop links, I turned my attention to the front shockies - best to replace before they totally rust away maybe? I can't really justify £500+ for coilovers, so what's a decent replacement for the standard shockies? I have Eibach springs fitted and want to keep them...what are my options? Cheers - Andy

Hi guys, What's your opinions on the 2. Standard v's updated. Had 18 before, and went back to standard and was amazed how better it drive. Then went for another set of 18 again lol, and tyres are low and standard set of wheels come up with 4 new tyres, so have put them on till get 18 refurbed with new tyres. But this time went back to standard it seems to drive worse, seems like it has lots of body roll and I mean lots, and no grip but more on the front wheels, if I hit a roundabout a bit fast the front just slides away, never had this on a z allways the back broke 1st. I have now sorted all my suspension problems, hicas bushes went na re…

Today i shall be mostly feeling like a kid in a candy shop. I dont think ive said "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh" to myself so many times in such a short period of time. I feel it is my duty to share pictures of these parts with you. I shall spare you the tedious stuff like general gaskets, pumps and switches..... So here is the interesting stuff: A general overview of lovelyness; First up is these, Z1 Uprated Side Mount intercoolers: To make the most of these (and the other parts) 2.5 inch bore intercooler piping finished in powdercoated glass black with new couplers and T bolt jubilees. Even at stock boost, these …

Decided to bleed the clutch to see if it would take up any of my excessive pedal travel, Bled it from both points and it reduced the travel by half, Does this mean I can adjust the rest of the travel out from under the dash? One thing that I have noticed since bleeding, is that I get a squealing noise through the full length of the pedal travel, a bit like a rusty hinge. Is there any way I can grease/oil the offending parts?

Well after a bit of a delay finally got the zed looked over and it is getting repaired will be picked up next week and took to the body shop to start rebuilding it just need to get all the parts sorted for it now

So my car has past everything on mot bar emissions apperently its only point 1 out !! iv just been down and removed the pipe of the balance bar many on here have done !! does this actually work ?

Hi all, just a quick one. The problem I have is that last yr I manged to get some Brembo calipers for my fronts. They were off an evo. Last yr Dazvert manged to get me some brackets done. I previously had sent him a front 350z front disc but it was found to be to small when it was all set up. Could anyone give me any ideas of what size I need. Just I want to order and I'm stuck in the house. Is it 324/5mm. Cheers

I cant seem to find a write up on how you go about changing the rear indicator lights from orange to clear. Is there a write up? if so can someone point me in the right direction please! Thanks

When I lightly rev the engine, as she comes down from say 2000rpm I get what can only be described a dry bearing squeal. Could this be the cam belt tensioner bearing? or am I looking at something more sinister? If it is the cam belt bearings, is it possible to oil/grease them? If so, how big a job is it?

my car has seemed to developed a running problem. its not all the time though and mostly occurs when its wet or been raining (which is pretty much everyday recently). i thought it may have been the plugs so got them replaced with upgraded iridium ones. hasn't made a difference though. it only happens at low revs, but once i give it a bit of throttle it clears up. its starting to really annoy me now. so any ideas of what it could be and how to fix would greatly be received! by the way the car is a 90 na import.

will a tt clutch fit in an na gearbox without modification...everything bar the flywheel thanks

Got round to fitting my brake servo stopper, apexi rev/speed meter, Jecs visualpower meter and brand new pcv valves and all 5 hoses and made a custom bracket for my boost solenoid.Cant believe how much smoother the engine is with the new pcvs and hoses fitted, seems so much smoother on idle etc :)

As some of you may have noticed, Reluctantly I have my Zed FS. As enthusiast forums FS threads have turned a blank, I may have to advertise to the riff raff err ... general public :pinch: Were would be the best place without attracting too many timewasters and tyre kickers ? I'm thinking: PH - would be full of dreamers. Ebay - unsure of fees for selling a car, imagine it costs a bomb, anyone know the actual costs ? (and also a lot of timewasters I imagine). Autotrader and hope for not too many daydreamers seems the safest bet. Anyone have any input or other suggestions ?

need a front bumper preferably aftermarket

Looked liked Mark?? G.... TAG.. flashed my hazards as wasnt in the Zed.. Need to get a car kit fitted though Mate..:innocent:

just had the zed taken in to have the 4 wheel tracking done today and they said my front & rear camber are out (i know about it as i lowered the car but not fitted adjustable arms yet) anyway they said rear was adjustable. according to their computer the rear camber arm is on a concentric bush making it adjustable, they couldn't do it as they couldn't shift the bolt but is this so on standard zed suspension? i always thought rear was fixed thats why we have to buy adjustable camber arms

Hi, Right, I’ve got a KOYO rad on my car and both the (plastic) top plug and bottom drain plug have seen better days. I’ve driven myself to the brink of hair removal (by self extraction) looking ….. Has anyone found or know of a place to get replacement parts for these rads. Or had a similar issue and replaced with suitable alternative parts. The thread on these plugs (or at least) the top one is about 10mm external diameter but is definitely not an M10. The guy at the local nut and bolt specialty store said it looked like a British standard thread, so either BSW or BSP….. Cheers. Ah, forgot to mention that last week I used the contact option o…

There was a post a few weeks ago about some young(25ish) guy who just got insurance cheap on his 300zx, cant remember the name of the company, every time i search for it i just get stuff from 2010 or older. Any help would be appreciated.

I've struck a deal with a driver on DW for some nice JDM rimmage and I'm collecting them this Saturday from Castle Combe. Nice deep dish on 9j front/10j rear though I'm going to have to roll the rear arches a tad next week to have it all ready for Japfest (tickets and track pass arrived today) :nana2:

How can I guage the idea if you removed the post checked breach of rules and seemed viable
