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

i finally decided to pull the door card off and inspect why my door has been unlocking on the central locking but not locking. the answer turned out to be what i thought itt would be a worn accutator or on its way out anyways, unlocking it was snap and sharp but on the locking it was slow and didnt fully engage the lock. so jeff will be getting a call tomorrow so i cabn replace it asap, however, in the process of fighting the bugger out what a faff seriously, ive forgotten how all the little joining rods came apart ive done some but still have two floating around that i cant rember what they were for. i cant manually lock the door now (no biggy the car is in my garage)so …

Browsing once through some Japanese catalog page I noticed the 99 and 2000 Z32 had like red stitch steering wheel on leather; actually I am trying to get a pic of how it looks alike so I can do this to my Z steering wheel...does anyone have a pic of this or a link to show the leather store I am getting it done? I´ve already got the hand break and shift knob..on red stitch.

Can a mod reinstate my sig pic please, Its dissapered since the site was updated last nite. Thanks Chris

At around 4k revs in third gear the car seems to stutter. Not sure hat it is though, perhaps the fuel cutting out??? I was on boost at the time but nothing major. (wasn't exactly flooring it). Anyone had this or have an idea what it could be?

Can anybody advise me where I can buy replacement sill sections, outer, inner etc.

Saw you drive past. I wasn't in my Z unfortunately.

Hi, Have not posted here for ages, but I am now having a problem that I am struggeling to get to the bottom of. Had the Z'ed (1993 NA) for 12 years and so far managed to sort most things myself. The issue is the 'feel' in the brake pedal after driving for a while (and also after leaving the car just to idle for 20 - 30 minutes). The pedal is nice and firm when it is cold, but when it get hot under the bonnet there is a spongy feel if you keep pressing the pedal for 30 - 60 seconds (feels OK to start with and it passed the Irish NCT - MOT eqvivalent without any problems as it is now). After pressing for a while the pedal start to slowly give, and will get closer …

I've got a turbo that needs rebuilding with a 360° bearing set. Its been stripped down and professionally cleaned and balanced. And I've got a garret 360° rebuild kit for a second turbo to be done too. Is there anyone on here that can rebuild them properly?.
