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?

Re. rear upper camber arms bought that I bought over 3 months ago. I really need them, you said there was a delay, then later said sending a tracking number when sent. Can I have an update please. Rose

Can i have some of your photo's of zeds with 17's and 18's and your thoights please on which way to go. Thanks

Hi folks, Got a problem with the driver's side front indicator. The bulb won't illuminate, so i checked the bulb and the bulb is fine, I even tried another new bulb just in case, but still didn't work. So, checked all the fuses (couldn't tell which was which - due to jap writing) which were also fine. So not really sure what's next. It was working fine, but on a recent long run I noticed that the right turn signal was flashing at double speed, so thought it was just the bulb.. Any suggestions? Many thanks - Leo

ive just won a brand new rear wheel bearing for my tt, for a crazy price compared to what nissan want.. anyone changed one, what are they like to do. I know i have to remove the driveshaft and undo the m12 nuts, do they need to be pressed in, or will a decent puller work.

I think it was either Thursday or Friday last week, parked in one of the car parks on the industrial estate near Neta training center. Would of popped in but i was running late.

anyone have one? opinions?

Hi does anyone have pictures of what loom should connect to the manual gearbox. I got few plugs near driver side headlight. So what should i plug? I think that loom ate connecting to alternator as well. I think picture with all the looms will help me a lot.

Today was an open pit lane track day at Silverstone using the full GP circuit(and pit facilities) so I went along as usual to meet up with BobGenie and ride shotgun in his slicktop. We were surrounded by lots of expensive high powered machinery. 911 Turbo S to one side. GT3 RS to the other. a pair of very quick Bms two pits away etc. The slicktop drew many admiring looks and comments and didnt look out of place at all. With a refreshed engine just installed by Dan Turner's advanced Motorsport workshops near Silverstone the car was on blistering pace. Several guest passengers had rides with Bob in the morning. After lunch Bob was really on it ... so I s…

Dealing with zeds all day every day we get to see a large amount of ecu maps, mostly they are conservative but on the odd ooccassion an unusual one turns up, the one below is a case in point anyone fancy guessing the spec and type of zed? Jeff TT

Here's my dilemma I'm steering towards replacing the rear knuckles on the shortie' with Driftworks Geomaster 2's, this will mean that I can wrap on trying to beat the old OEM balljoints/bushes. The whole setup would then be brand new. The problem that I have is this, despite the DW website stating that they will fit a Z32 I had my doubts, so I did a bit more investigating. This is what the DW shop states in the Q&A section: Product Questions: Q: Will this Race Hub Knuckle kit work on a Z32 TT? A: Rears will, fronts won't As it turns out they will fit but only on the proviso that you cut the bottom forks off the coilover and w…

Could anyone tell me if I buy a set of 19" rims with a 9.5" rear and 8.5 fronts what size tyres I need. I know I can run 235's on front and 265's on rear but what profile do they need to be????:confused1:

Any advice much appreciated:cool3:

The wheels on my manual twin turbo I bought a few weeks back are aftermarket. They are 17" rims fitted with 225 45 17's. On close inspection of the rims I found them to be 7j which means that the tyre size is already the maximum I can get on them. I have arranged to have a set of goodyear f1 225 45's fitted next Saturday for £490. I am worried that these tyres are not big enough and I would be better off waiting and getting wider rims, could anyone tell me what the stock wheel size is for a tt, any other advice would be appreciated.

Hi My N/A Z just died driving along today. One minute accelerating well, next minute all ignition lights on - engine stopped running. AA attended and check stuff over, they say on paperwork:- 5v + 12v present, fuel pressure OK Switching OK to coil +12v + Earth. Suspect injectors not switching (unable to access) He pulled a coil out and stuck a plug in but no spark even though 12v/earth/switching all present on test. Car being recovered by AA in an hour or so. Anyone got any ideas? Cheers Paul

I originally started building my ICE install in the Black and yellow Z but it's since been scrapped so here we go again in the grey one. All the false floor that I built is now pretty much destroyed as it wasnt intended to come out again really, and once sound deadening material is fitted, it isnt coming off again. After a long time waiting for the necessary welding in the boot to get done on the grey Z, I can finally get on with it again. Ive already got all the wiring in and test fit things but it sounds rubbish compared to how it was with the deadening and dampening. This time, I have chosen to go for the more expensive option of fat mat extreme. I am really …
