Ok not to be taken lightly a new corrosion trend has appeared over the last 12 months or so, as we see so many zeds we are in a position to see such trends whether it be tension rod bushes, hicas arms sill corrosion etc., we now have seen in quick succession several zeds with the exact same floor corrosion effecting the drivers and to a small extend the passenger seat floor anchor plate all of these needed welding and quickly to remain safe. The rear fixing on the drivers side closest to the door seems to be the favourite one, Nissan added an extra plate from below to form the seat fixing, this plate has sealant between the main floor and the plate itself. The troub…

I am new to z's as I had a skyline before... Looking currently for a Z' and finds a lot of ads with SWB or LWB in the description... Am I wrong in thinking Short or Long wheel base???

guys I know that there are a few threads about this, but I can't find enough pics to help. I'm fitting my Decats having removed all the exhaust I have undone the 2 lower nuts on the drivers side turbo, but for the life of me I can't seem to find the the lower passenger side nuts :blushing: Driverside Passenger side under side

i'm not moaning. but i'm quite suprised that after hunting and posting that no one seems to know what to do with the solenoids on the z 32. surely someone knows. so many in the club have rebuilt their cars. therefor this made me assume i may get help or advice. i will add that i'm useless with computers but have tried various tech pages to no avail. after subscribing to the club i have found its a great community with much more than a handfull of good folk. back on subject though. i need z einstien folk are there any?:smartass:

there's three solenoids under the bonnet. one near the battery and two together on the opposite side. is the one near the battery an aiv solenoid? also one on opposite side aiv too. and the remaining solenoid is egr ? can all of these be unplugged once hoses have been sorted? looked through robos tech its not specific enough for me on this subject. please help

how do you go about sorting the timing if you've got aftermarket pulleys that don't have the mark for timing light?

Anyone know if the 350z Brembos will fit a Zed?..........

well I got manula gearbox but auto loom. and the thing is I can connect just a one plug, the all other is the same but only one plug is different. I just want to know what wires should go there and how I can connect that. auto gearbox loom got 6 wires and loom on the body got 8 wires. so How I can connect this think ? I need to connect this two plugs which a different but I got other way around. I need connect auto gearbox loom to manual loom http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/panelman/zedrebuild178.jpg

:lol:

Does a Na Manaul gearbox differ form a TT one? Just thinking out loud at the minute, but might be a conversion on the cards. No good if it wont work!

Guys, I've removed my OEM spoiler and was going to spoiler-less, but the more i look at the replacement 'skin' that you blend in the more i like it. The description on ZCentre says it simply sticks on with mastic (or similar) - is that really the case or is that in an ideal world, and in the real world people have had to use other methods? I'd go for the one without 3rd brake light, which would leave me with a hole under the skin where the brake light used to be - should i weld this hole up before putting spoiler/skin on? Any tips in general with the blending in as i'd do it myself as much as i can. cheers for now

Hi, My mate needs a brake master cyilnder, he has a na auto question is is the na manual one the same? cheers Mark

I took these on my phone when I got home yesterday after having my new coilovers fitted..... .....To say I am very pleased with them is an understatement!! They have transformed the car; Thanks Jerrick, you're a star trader mate!!! Richard:rockon:

I'm sure its been said 100's of times but both my Zeds have a leaky drivers tagra roof. Not huge but enough to annoy me. Whats the best solution for them I have been told about Gummi Pflege is this any good?

Once again the Z flew through with flying colours...... .....Plus there were no comments about the HID conversion or the headlight washers not working!! So I'm not sure we will have any problems with the new MOT test regs that recently came into force!! Don't like the new certificate printed on regular A4 though - kind of looks cheap and nasty; and not so official!! Anyway, after a fill-up at the BP (just £2 short of £100....:w00t:), I decided to take the car for a little blast around the country lanes of Bucks to celebrate - even if it was a little damp this morning. I wanted to try out my new MeisterR coilovers which were fitted yesterday; followed by a full 4…

Hi All, Wondering if anybody has any ideas? Bird and I tried each others cars last night and it was very apparent that my steering appears very light. Also on the long sweeping bends it often feels like the steering is doing its own thing. Hard to explain, but you are holding the corner and it feels like the back end is sliding away, well more like steering as they tyres are gripping.. Thought it was my imagination until Bird thought the same thing..

Am on two minds what to do. I like how my car handles on the 19" wheels and the hks hypermax coilovers, but now im not gonna be drifting or drag racing anymore i dont really need them on it. So whether to sell them and go back to standard comfy suspension and some 19" wheels that doesnt stick out of the arches. Or get some arch flares and keep it as it is. It may not seem a dilemma but to me it is,lol.

hi all, i want to bench test my spare digital clock, can anybody tell me what wire does what, i.e which i should power and which i should earth to test the chuffing thing, ta sayers

Looking for some inspiration, Got a bit of a hankering to get rid of the dual exit scorpion exhaust on my zed and fit a single exit exhaust. Now does anyone have any pics for me to see how it will look with just 1 pipe out back?? only ever seen dual exit. Cheers in advance
