I dont know about you, but i still have so much to do on the zed, but cant drum up the enthusiasm at the minute :hammer: I look at bits that need doing and think, i must do that soon, then i just get in it and drive it :cool3: Im sure once the weather gets a little warmer, i might feel more up to it, but at the moment i just cant be arsed :sad: Dont get me wrong, i love the zed to bits and it will get finished, must be the time of the year :closedeyes: Anyone else feel the same?

This is a bit of a difficult situation... I was so close to purchasing an impreza STI Type R (classic 2 door) but suddenly a local TT manual 300zx came up for a little less money. The idea was to get a car which my gf would drive as her first (we cant have 2 cars as there isnt room so has to be one car which is fast, has some degree of practicality and is relatively user friendly)... now we were both set on the Scoob (despite my worries over DCCD and engine failure), but suddenly a 300z has appeared from nowhere. It's an import with forged engine,uprated turbos, pushing dyno'd 430hp at 15psi. I'm hugely tempted as I know the 300 would be faster in almost any gi…

Title says it all really, went out with my mate the other night to take a few photo's as he 'wanted to try a new technique'. Just logged onto flickr and seen this. The lad has some serious talent in my eyes!

Hi Guys Wondered if you guys could be kind enough to give me a link to the exact HID KIT I need for my 300zx My 300 TT 1991 JAP IMPORT so it has the jap head light bulbs It does not need to be off ebay - I need to get one delivered before Saturday as I am taking it to a garage for MOT etc and they said they could also fit but don't sell them. I did go on ebay and contact a couple of them but No replies back and no running out of time Cheers Dave

Does anyone know which of the two pins for the hazard light switch tell-tale bulb is positive? Just about to bung a led on it... Cheers, Tudor...

well just got back from zedworld and im amazed at just how much was wrong with my zed!! jeff and jamie spent the whole day on it and found a list of things as long as your arm!! somehow the car dyno'd at bang on 300hp even though; the cambelt has been set a tooth out and to compensate the fitter (not jeff obv) had the timing set to 7 degrees advanced. the boost controller was not only wired wrong but plumbed in wrong. it had about 7 boost leaks including a major one from what jeff suspects is the plenem ( again were another fitter had not sealed it properly.) added to that the right hand intake pipe hadnt had the jubilee clips done up so was flopping …

any hints or tips on cleaning the inside of the headlights bets cleaning solutions clothes..ect thanks

ive seen a clip on youtube of a standerd white zed the same as mine with chrome standerd wheels they look great and want this for mine ,seen a set from the states for $1400 but was thinking it may be cheaper to just get mine chromed ,anyone done this before or know where i can get them done in the south hampshire:cool3:

Hi Guys, Ive emailed Meister R and a couple of BC coilover outlets, searched the tinternet but also thought I would ask on here.. Can you get an adjustment link so you adjust the rear dampers with the trims in place that fit BC coilovers?? Been on Meister R site and cannot find a link to their own product.. Cheers

Well i have gone from selling my zed to booking into the bodyshop for next week! Its going in for rear arches and front bumper and sills being tidied up. Plus im going to get my arse in gear and get the coilovers fitted, the de cats and if my budget goes to plan ill be looking at new wheels to :)

What do you think guys about open mid pipes ? does it makes any performance. turbo cars exhausts air have to move freely as possible so if mid pipes a open does it make better? o is just a sound? and how does open pipes looks like? this is video from youtube, for me sound is great

Any ideas here? The car is revving at over 2000. Yesterday I changed the balance bar. Could this have a similar effect? Also changed the cruise control unit

I knew this wasn't going to be a straight forward out and in job...# The DW HICAS kit was previously fitted to the LWB, and the bushes are still fitted am I likely to be able to get these out intact or do I need to replace them, they haven't been used just fitted also the OEM bushes on the shortie' need to come out but they're still on the car and I dont really want to be removing hubs/knuckles etc, so what's the best way to get them out? I've searched and found loads of tips on how to drill them out, burn them out etc but want to use the simplest and least '****upable' method

i just bought an '88 z31 turbo today. on the way home it was fine from glasgow to dundee on the m'way then going through dundee the temp guage went up to the three quarter warning mark and it started blowing cold air through the vents. then back o the dualler it went back to normal but the oil temp. guage went up a notch. then i got to the country road that takes me home and the water temp. went back up and the cold air started again. and it was doing this on and off when i took it for a run around town. its got a pretty bad misfire that should be fixed with ht leads but has anyone got any idea what the crack is with the temperature lol? and please dont say somethin…

Did these today and noticed the track rod ends are toast.. Then got to the back.. why didnt somebody tell me all the trim had to come out to remove two bolts...!!:taz: Ive left the trim off for now until I am happy with the damping setting.. not doing that again.... definitely looks better that little bit lower...

Tried to take car out for a little run today to try it out for first time. But i have got a really bad wobble on drivers rear wheel. Its moving that much that the brake caliper has tried carvin away the brake disk. its moving about 1-2inch. Wheel is on tight but looks like something major on that side is broken.

Today I painted the Bomex front splitter that I got from car.mad, I was fed up with having a yellow part in the garage so got the autoglym satin black out and did a quick job until the car has its full respray :whistling: Its not mounted properly yet, need to buy some more tiger seal first. Also made a start fitting my D-Speed mirrors (same make as my spoiler) just need to get them wired up now :yes: Cant wait to get the car MOT'd so I can get some decent pictures, I hate driveway pics but I have no choice at the mo lol :hammer:

A massive thank you to Lee Dent for getting my Zed sorted, have had loads done this week and done a bit myself.Also a huge thank you to Mark from MJ Welding in Shrewsbury, christ that man can weld!.Have now got a manual conversion with a stage 3 clutch and lightened flywheel, uprated Toyo intercoolers,carbon canister and aircon deleted (and all the pipework etc), 4 new Falken tyres and a zed with no holes underneath!.Anyway, heres some pics :) Toyo intercooler vs standard! autobox out flywheel and clutch in (new rear seal and spigot bearing) Rot!!!! Rot!!!!!!!!!

ah been a while but today was fine and got the interior dash bits all back together so check all the fluids and air pressures in the tyres and away we go , now thats why we love these cars after a lay up and bang back on it ,,,,,fooking great

how do i safely remove the trims which run up the side of the front windscreen , and again for the ones on the targa and just behind them, thanks Sayers

after deleting stuff in wings and capping off pipes that lead to solenoids? on bulk head. can they be thrown away ? what do you do with wiring if so? any links on how to?

i have a n/a manual that i got off my brother recently. the whole time he has had it the fuel guage has read between 1/2 and 3/4 even when it is empty (we know this as the fuel light still works) if u fill the car up past 3/4 the guage will register how much you have. Any idears? Thanks
