Made up .. just bought coppens red zed :) so happy as missed mine like mad :) plan is a respray, new rims , mot work and manual converstion .. hopefully be.on the road in 6/8 weeks :)

Ive been on a quest to find a spoiler for my build...Ive been racking my brains and searching the net for answers. Ive even considered having one made but that could turn out even more expensive and a very long process than the one ive found. Just dont think i can part with nearly £500 for this item. Does anyone know of anything simular or any other designs that would work with my car. It was between the CSL and the Twinz spoiler but recently the CSL has grown on me.

Since ive owned my zed the intermittent wiper switch hasnt worked, and the dash light dimmer hasnt worked and have been told it could be due to the timer control unit.........but where is it and what does it look like?

Sorry if repost. Have done a search and could not see this. From what I can see this project page is linked from Nissan USA and encourages people to help build the ultimate 370Z. turbos, stoptech brakes, looks like its going well. Here's the links: http://www.nissanusa.com/zcoupe/ http://www.facebook.com/nissanperformance?intcmp=PROJECT_370Z.Model.Home.P2.Z.&regionalZipCode=null

Morning all! As most of you know my Z is my daily drive. Got a problem that occured a few days ago, everything was fine then when I went to start the car one morning I noticed I had no display on my aircon or clock.. Also the Front wipers won't work!!! The following day it was still dead but on a drive went over a bump and everything Sprung back into life and started working again! Great I thought!!! Then on leaving work the other day nothing at all again and now it still dead... Im assuming A relay has died on the back of the fusebox next to the drivers accelaerator pedal.. Anyone know what colour relay controls those accesories so I can swap it and bring everything…

My fiancee and I went and took her C1 today for a service. She followed me to the garage in the C1 and later tells me that I dawdled all the way; she even said she was shouting at me, saying that of all the times that I go fast in the Z, I decide to go slow when she has to get somewhere :lol: I did try to explain that my car was cold.

stuck some boost jets in the z yesterday. along side other mods and there is a noticable difference. i'll let you's know if anything caves in lol.

I've looked all over the Net, Can anyone suggest a Hid Kit for My Jap spec Nissan. i think they use H£C bulbs

After finally getting her on the road, I have been driving about with the timing 10 degrees out (I set it up using the induction loop on the PTU, and after reading Jeff's write up, I set it up using his way), and has made a wonderful difference, however, seeing as the battery had been off for ages, it has self learnt with the timing out, is it worth me resetting the ECU so it can now learn with the timing set up correctly, or will it just re learn? Cheers, Tudor.

I'm not the seller but someone might be interested! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330700535032&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123#ht_500wt_1107

im aware this has probably been covered before, but could someone please point me in the right direction of what length gas struts i need for the bonnet. i can get gas struts cheaply here ignore the prices lol.

Right guys got straight through pipes on the front, and found a set of Racing cats in the back of the garage that were a salvage item from when Z tech arsed up a re-build a few years ago. Should i keep teh straight through's or based on my leaky turbo re-fit the cats? Also having a clearout of some garage bits so wondering whether to re-fit these and sell the straight throughs or just sell the racing cats?

need the above , where can i purchase them from please . sayers

Sure most of you may have seen it on ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130659666439?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Never even knew it existed until the other day, a quick google search sent me to an ebay.com auction page from a while ago, it sold for $750! Was anyone on here lucky enough to win it?

whilst again working through some to do's on the car today i discovered it has a blitz access ecu!!! one less thing to go and buy.yipee

Hi, How much am I looking at for a set of decats and middle sections got back boxes just wondered:-) its a TT manual. cheers lads:-)

Just changed clutch fork and lost the gearbox oil, question is waht grade oil does it use and how many litres? cheers mark

Hi, as title really - it is tt import - it idles lovely and when driven through the gears normal driving it feels fine (maybe a very slight lumpyness) but under hard acceleration in first and 2nd is fine - 3rd, 4th and 5th as soon as the turbos kick in it misfires and pops through the exhaust very loud - it does get less after 4250 but still not smooth - it has an apexi filter and even in good weather is the same - if revved when standing its revs clear so only under load - i suppose a needle in a haystack but would be grateful of where to start - it has had full service, plenum pull, and cambelt service in october - any help much appreciated regards dave

I'll be doing a trackday at Cadwell Park on Sunday 18th March. It's quite reasonable at £149 for the day so wondered if anyone else fancy's it :) It really is a beautiful circuit and very technical to drive. I'm using it as a test for Time Attack as that's the first round in May so why not come and see what you can do a lap in and compare that to what they manage in a couple of months time :)

Mines packed up hissisng noise under pedal box ive pulged pipe to servo, clutch is mega heavy .Can you get a seal kit or repair or is a second hand unit needed im informed there hard to get second hand .Ive also been told its a dash out but when i done my matrix i found it easy to remove booster and pedal just refiting it was a pain untill i left it all bolted up loose then it went in easy thanks tafff.

well chuffed, got a brand new offside rear wheel bearing of a guy from ebay that had it as spare. having checked all the bushes which were fine, the only issue was the hicas ball joint, replaced it, but the wheel still moved side to side, dreading doing the bearing ive been searching for a complete hub. And from reading posts about how difficult it is and how long it takes. So while the other half is out for the day and the weather is sunny on the south coast. Off i go, removed brakes, disc, shoes, undid the drift shaft nut, which was easy. all the bushes, hub was off in less than an hour. Now the fun begins. the bearing and carrier are super tight. into a vice it…

after lowering my car and fitting differnt wheels and pissing about the settings are all a little off. one of the rears has a touch of positive camber i recon. but last time i had the alignment done im pretty sure it was set up as a z31. anyways what are the best compromise settings on the stock adjustments for the car, just for fast road use?

Does anybody have instructions or pics for fitting a Cusco brake stopper? cheers
