Chrome Rad Holder who is the user on here that makes them had one before but not sure who it was ... as i need another one

Just bought some 19" rims, 8.5" fronts and 9.5 rears, what size tyres do I need:confused1:

Not everyday you come across these fitted on a UK zed, low mileage but still got is to be checked over yet but will be for sale, nice to have all the conversion available in one kit as such, 4 wheel damper control at the flick of a switch....nice! Jeff TT Adj suspension

just took her out for a last bit of spirited driving, accelerating in 2nd, hard shifted to 3rd and bang :/ managed to limp her home but 3rd gear was writing off and the gearbox sounded like a bag of spanners. just weighing up my options now, what am i looking at for a new gearbox fitted? tbf, I doubt i've got the money to do it for a while as per my old thread so if anyone wants to shoot me offers for the car or bits off it nows the time, cba with her atm

What are these things for ive always wondered 1 each side? Im after getting rid of bits and bobs

Hi all i just fitted my Carbon rear hatch. I just cant decide what to do and looking for some ideas or suggestions in what spoiler to go for. I quite like the non spoiler look but for this build i think the car should have one...But what one? Any ideas? The Bomex rear skirt isnt fitted and im going to have the A piller and tops of the doors painted black but here is a few pics to go on. Thanks Dan

I was having my wheel alignment done and the bloke said a bush in the rear suspension was worn and should be replaced (I'd do both sides). It was the lower bush in the round (circular) metal part which fits over each rear shock and sits around it - if that makes sense? Is there a diagram anywere?

right i was sorting out the wiring on my sidelights(they were damaged ) any way got them working properly but the light fellout my hand when powerd up and shorted now all im getting is full beams on all three click with the full beam symbol on the dash and the fogs arnt working iether bulbs are fine think it might be a fuse checkd the fuse box in the engine bay and theyr all good any ideas thanks

Just saw this on Pistonheads, is it anyone from here? http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=1118517&mid=0&nmt=G472UMB+-+Nissan+300ZX+-+Anyone+know+this+car%3F

Right, looking to sell my engine that is currently in my TT. It's done 66k miles full service history Nissan dealers & Zedworld. The car/engine has a massive histroy file! Silverbullet replaced the cambelt tensioners ect. 1.5 years ago, only about 3k miles since then. Great oil pressure and non smoking turbos. The buyer could see/hear it running as I have nothing to hide. I even have the RR printout from when I first bought it obviously it's done 4-5k since then, but as I say I've nothing to hide and any inspection welcome. I'm only looking to do this so as I can progress faster with my performance engine rebuild. So over to you guys what would it be w…

photos as promised. let me know your thoughts. front tyres the outer edge is starting to wear but atill have plenty of life left rears there are a few marks nothing major

29, no NCB, half decent area, only a named driver on another car, alloys included, 3k a year, 35 days EU cover, full AA, all convictions (even though from 9 years ago, they asked), £204.86!!! 6 years working on her, and in a couple of days, I'll actually be able to drive her, so say I am chuffed is the understatement of the year, I've had 3 sex wees already :) :) :)

Is anyone aware if glass can be restored? I have fairly deep scratches in both door windows. the car is currently in for a respray so i'm worried the windows will look crap. If they can be polished, i'd probably get the whole lot done Thanks

Few questions about diffs. I'm looking to get a quaife ATB on my car. Firstly, any reasons why not? Anyone got one and is it worth it. Second, i believe I've got to send my diff casing into quaife so they can fit it and space it etc. Is this so? If So I was thinking of getting a diff from a breaker, send that in, then its straight swap when mines getting done. Final question, my far was an auto TT. Now converted to manual TT. And is a UK. Apart from the oil cooler, are there any differences in diff casings. Cheers in advance. Danny

Every time my other half drives my car, something seems to go wrong. Last time it was a turbo problem which resulted in a trip to Zedworld. Today I drove to town, no probs. granted I had the stereo blaring away. On the way back, Dave drove, and we soon noticed an alarming scraping noise every time we went over a bump. Checked and found the front inner wing liner has come away and is rubbing on the tyre. He managed to do a temporary ' shove it out of the way' type repair but it's yet another thing on the to do list. Huh. On a plus point tho, whilst ruffling around in the boot I found some unused targa covers I didn't even know I had :biggrin:

Really??? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-2006-STEERING-WHEEL-/180830289263?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a1a533d6f

Can anyone who has 19" rims tell me what they are like on their car, is the ride comfort drastically effected, do the tyres wear quickly and how does the car handle with them. I have spotted some rims on ebay which I like, they are deep dish 5 spokes, 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears. I have asked if they could be supplied in 18" rims, but they are only available in 19's

I need a new windscreen on the shorty and went roubnd to Autoglass. Now i only want the import glass as thats why we pay extra for insurance so they contacted Nissan and the part number for the windscreen to match my reg has been superseeded and they cant tell what colour this new number will be and its non refundable. So is the new part no still bronze with blue tint as for import anyone know? Also they cant get one till 19th March which isnt any good for me as i wont be here so anywhere else i can use that may be quicker? Oh they were gonna replace the windscreen trim pieces and clips too on the insurance claim which seemed pretty damn cool to me for j…

opinions on baileys dumps(atmospheric) please . cheers in advance.

Just been cleaning the car a little today, but seeing as,its currently 20shades of red from the spraying tidying up the bodywork over the last couple of years it looks like a respray is gonna be called for. Has anyone recently had a respray done?. Im not wanting to change the colour or go for anything fancy, just a simple standard ag2 red respray. Question is how much would i be looking at for a repaint?
