How often do you people just go for a drive? without a destination? Just for the fun of driving? It's very rare i get the urge to just go but took the Zed out today on a 40 mile drive and loved every minute. No where in particular, just a drive along the coast, then through some town centres and back home. Nice and easy. Just cruising, not racing around. Throughly enjoyed it :) Peter

My car has been standing fo a coulple of years now whilst doing engine and tubs ect. So there i was trying to bleed the clutch and i started to get a pedal then went stiff just before pop, No fluid loss but pedal gone. Found that the slave cyliner has seezed and i think the peddal went hard then gone. I took of the slave cylinder of thinking that when i pump the peddal the fluid would pump out.but it just seats in the resivouir. So im thinking i must of poped the clutch master cylinder. Just this sound right. and any idear of a guide to remove master cylinder. Just had a go jesus got the wiring out the way, looks like a right pain job. any guides or better still anyone in…

Just got a quote for chrome powder coating to do my wheels again. £220 for drive in and out same day. Just wondering if thats a good price and has anybody seen chrome powder coating for alloys ? The laquers all went cloudy on my 18's and was thinking powder rather than getting them re pollished and laquered again. Laquer will no doubt eventually tarnish but powder coating doesnt. What you think - polish or powder ?

Some Z32 cars, like mine, have the worn out black covering removed, to reveal a lovely polished aluminium finish, on the windscreen & targa roof side strips. I think this looks great & more in keeping with today's look. Now, has anyone done this to the black & rubber strips, under each side window ? Again, I think this could look very cool. Many new cars, like the Jaguar XJ, have this look. What do you guys think ? Tim

Hi, Thinking of going for some Meister coilovers for my SWB. Seen lots of people on here say they are very good over worn out originals. Mines not doen any miles so wondering if ill see much difference over stock?? Whats best version S or Version R??? Anybody tried both or got any feedback? somewhere it was said about steering vibration in the pillow ball mounts from Version R's is this right??? Cheers

One for the Zed and GTR owners Just wondering: If you attempted to fit an R33 GTR 'pull type' multi plate clutch (mated to a Z32 8 hole flywheel) to a Z32 TT would this work or is the Z32 a 'push type' clutch or has a different sized clutch cover? cheers

Anybody going this weekend? Last weekend was great, olny about 10 cars running :w00t: I'm determined to break into the 12s, shame my new wheels aren't here yet :(

Does anybody in the Teesside area have any logs, pallets etc they want rid off. Running really low on firewood and would be more than happy to remove them for you.....

My stereo sounds a bit tinny and rubbish. The head unit is ok - it's a Sony one a few years old but I still think that's not the problem as it was 200 odd quid when it was new. The speakers are originals in the front and some very nasty cheap ones in the back which I put in when one of the original rear ones stoped working. If I was going to replace the speakers, are the front ones easy to get to? I remember the back ones were easy, just pry the cover off. Any recommendations for speakers? JBL 6x4 seem to be popular from a search for the rears. I don't know anything about speakers and stereos but I'd like it to sound better. I don't want bigger speaker…

car has been standing for 6mths and went to try to start it and it turns over and runs then cuts out has new fuel quarter of a tank any help is aprecIATED

Got a oil temp gauge in my car and nearly all wired up except for the sensor unit itself. There appears to be a blanked off port next to the oil filter that would be ideal however it doesn't screw directly in. Who knows what size adapter I need? An ebay link to the required adapter would really help!

Hey all, New pictures added to the end......take a look!!! As promised then please find attached for your viewing pleasure (or displeasure.....:D....) I will start with the most relevant and then just drop the rest in in whatever order they land. Opinions are welcomed as sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me :p UNMISTAKEBLY A Z32 N/A 2+2 ONLY PICTURE I HAVE OF IT SORRY :S Enkei racing s alloys 17" split rims (not pictured of course) Upgraded all speakers within standard housings (so as not to ruin original interior appearance) It does have the blue light dash mod which i kinda like :) I believe that …

Following on from my previous post i have done a compression test this morning and pleased to say all 6 are at 170 or a couple either side but non of them are down on compression. However i still have the poor starting problem and all 6 plugs are black surgesting over fueling. Anyone point me in the right direction on what could be causing my poor starting? No boost leaks new engine wiring loom all injectors tested and all have 12 ohm resistance new injector seals please help its doning my head in!

I'm getting a noise. Kind of an exhaust heat shield rattle but a much lower tone and nearer the front. It happens at low revs briefly when there is pressure on the engine (i.e. pulling away). Had it in the garage but can't make it make the noise at standstill so my mechanic can't find it. It's certainly not a heat shield on the exhaust as I have a full mongoose system now with decats and it's still doing it. Been like this since I got the car about 10 months ago and I've finally had enough. Any ideas..??

Just purchased a NA 300ZX import 1994. Want to get the cam belt changed. Live near Welshpool in Mid Wales. Any one recommend a garage/workshop that is reliable in this area. If not who,s the best in UK?

Just wondering if anyone drifted their 300? It's not something I've been able to find much evidence of so just wondering if I'm looking in the wrong place or if there is a reason why people don't...? My 350z drifts lovely but is worth too much to me to be driven in that manner too often....... My 300 is also of value to me but isn't worth as much (just before anyone gets offended) :hang: I get that an N/A 300 has an open diff but is there some other reason that people don't seem to drift these cars? To me it seems an ideal candidate for the task really??? What do you guys think? :)
