Dave are showing Storage Hunters and in one of the two New Orleans episodes they win a Z31 in a lock up or unit. Don't confuse this programme with Auction Hunters although the format is practically identical. http://uktv.co.uk/dave/series/tvseries/258162 Repeated many times so sure you will catch one of them, just click 'when else is it on' :wink:

Who has done this? is there any things I need to know!!:surrender:

Shes one very lucky girl today. she was getting a bit moody about me chopping her face off so i got her a couple of things

I have recently bought some 19" rims, what size tyres should I run front and back. I have 8.5" rims on front and 9.5" on rear, so I was thinking 235's front, 265's rear, why do some owners go for a 30 profile on the rear, rather than a 35?????

I just put a thread up about a zed on ebay. I wont post it again incase i wasn't meant to. Why was it deleted? (If it was deleted, im sure i posted it..)

Of those that have done a TT conversion, how much did it cost you all in? I know the engine can be bought for £xxx, but all the extra things that add up when doing a conversion, i want to know about. Im weighing up the options of TTing my Na, or selling and buying a TT. Pros of keeping mine... Its an S4, T reg, great condition, no rust that i can see, last owner for 5 years looked after her properly, Na rear diff etc Cons of keeping mine.. I'd want to change the wheels, suspension, brakes, maybe a bodykit... I really cant be bothered with doing a conversion!! Pros of buying a TT. Fair few for sale, get what i want out of the box, im in no ru…

A short video of a lap around the full Formula 1 Silverstone Arena GP Circuit in the MeisterR R32 GTR.* Not the fastest lap time but it was a track-day so passing is straightly limited by consent. It was a quick test to see how well the new SRV coilovers will respond to fast track work, and what better place to test than the full Formula 1 circuit at the "Home of the British Grand Prix." A drama free day with the SRV suspension working very well. The SRV provided a comfortable 2 hours drive on the motorway to the circuit and stable dynamic at the limit on the track; even for an amateur driver like myself.* :) mrM1T3_1XcQ

As title, was coming off the island heading towards Ratcliffe-on-Soar.Looked like a lwb jdm tt.

just thought i'd give some feedback on the tegiwa gearknob . awesome for the drift look shifter http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TEGIWA-SP-SHIFT-GEAR-KNOB-NISSAN-300ZX-PRIMERA-B5-/180592581832?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a0c281cc8 and also the short shifter . crisp and short gearchanges with a much more positive gear selection compared to stock. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-Z32-300ZX-Twin-Short-Shifter-Shift-Quick-Turbo-/320835044846?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4ab34245ee i highly recommend this mod!!!:cool3:

not sure if i'm going mad but my Clear 94 Indicators dont fit my 98/99 front bumper are they different ? had a look on zcenter but all look the same shape

ok, in an effort to make sure I actually use the car, and because I've always wanted to do it, I've signed myself up for this year's TimeAttack. I'll be in Club RWD class, and I imagine against some very stiff competition from what i can see from previous years. Never done anything like this before, just a couple of track days, so it's going to be a huge learning curve :crying: Dates are below, and if you can make it then please come along and say hi, and if you're unlucky I'll rope you in to help too! I'll keep this thread updated with progress Wish me luck!

Hey guys, been a while since i've posted had my head in the car and various other things.... Here a bit of an update on my ZX... Some may be familiar with a sileighty/sil80 ... which is a s13 silvia front on a 180sx/240sx. problem is i never like the rears of those cars, nor the rear of the s13 itself... so what to do what to do... So i have gone with silvia s13 + 300zx/fairlady = Silady. The idea has as i expected recieved mixed/abusive .... comment on a facebook zx page. Ahhh well heres some pictures anyway. (only just sat there still have ALOT to do)

got heater matrix hoses replaced today. then fired IT up and IT has now decided to be missing on a cylinder! i've checked around to see if i've snapped anything obvious,ie plugs to injectors etc.but all looks in intact. any suggestions? cheers in advance ,lee

not sure if this works but i am trying to upload two pictures , first shows a pipe i found blanked off with a bolt whilst changing my PCV valves, the second is me trying to point with a screwdriver as to where i am guessing it should go, can somebody clever please confirm for me also what is the impact of driving around with the pipe blanked off ( as i have been doing ) thanks Sayers

hey guys, my mrs corsa has a fubared EGR valve, any ideas on where it is, and if i can just blank it off or not? its a 98 1.6 thanks in advanced

Kind of difficult without me even seeing it yet but am told its got a leak on the hicas !! is this a common thing with hicas ? and is there anything in particular it will be ? Can anyone give me a rough idea of cost for an auto to manual convertion ? diy and garage ?

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
