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

Another mystery power drain, I've had a search and I have a couple of ideas now, mainly rear demister (doesnt work on mine) seem to have caused a couple of issues. Basically, I came to my car last friday to try and use it, it had been stood for 6 days and it wouldnt start due to flat battery. It tried, turned over once and then the solenoid clicked. There was no one else at my parents, I couldnt be bothered so simply went back to my house in my van. I thought it a bit odd as the car had stood for 5 or 6 weeks before this, and then started on the first turn of the key no battery issues etc. Now, I've been back to my parents tonight to jump start it but I got in t…

hi guys just got my car and find it to be quite wallowy in the rear, and if you hit a pot hole or lump in the road it seems to snatch and grab at the back, feels like the wheels are loose, ive had a look around but not 100% on what i need to check, im thinking its drop links and arb bushes, also ive been advised to check the hicas, there are no warning lights, but would like to lock it off any way, does anyone else have any ideas as dont want to pay out if i dont need the bits? thanks

HI, Anyone know where I can get the right fixing bolts for the R33 GTR Brembo upgrade?? Also what braided hoses should i get? (Running stock rears) Cheers

Got the old girl back today after having the tailgate smoothed, and am chuffed with the result :) Also fitted my vented centre panel and a couple of shiny bits off TwinTurboRich (cheers mate, look superb).i put some carbon fibre under the cutouts to make them stand out and I think they look good if I do say so myself.anymawho, heres some pics :)

I bought some UK clocks a few months back and have just got around to fitting them :lol: been busy. Anyway my car is non turbo jap and all the connectors fitted and went in fine but the rev counter doesn't move at all. Water, oil and fuel gauge move for definate and the speedo works I think. The car isn't road legal at the moment so just went dowm my lane and it moved slightly. Any ideas please? Cheers Should of said my car is a G reg 1989 if it matters
