Is anybody running one of these HKS triple plate clutches?

On highly tuned vehicles the stock clutch quickly becomes obsolete because it does not have the friction material nor pressure to hold and transfer the additional power. Therefore a high performance clutch is needed to support and deliver all the engine pow…

I'm wanting to fit an auto closer kit to close my windows and bring my mirrors in when I lock the car then bring the mirrors back out when I unlock it. I've found many auto window closer kits for sale but none mention anything about mirror capabilities. I presume I would need an auto closer that also sends a signal out when it's unlocked too. Any auto electricians done something like this before and could steer me in the right direction of what I need and if it's even possible...

Is it possible to 'convert' std turbos to an external wastegate?

Have had a couple of niggles with the old girl, so on jeffs advice I checked the connection on the coolant temp sensor (one for the ecu) and it was absolutely minging!, so cleaned the pins in the sensor back to clean metal and did the same on the connector itself and the difference is unreal!.The car is so much smoother and more responsive and running so much better :)

I still have a badly leaking targa panel on the drivers side, tried everything but now suspect that the whole thing leaks. Has anybody got a non leaking targa panel preferably somewhere in the Midlands.

Could somebody tell me what this wing is (99 spec etc) as I haven't got a clue, it was on the shortie' when I bought it I've got a URAS wing going on tomorrow so ideally I need to know what this one is so that I can figure out what it's worth and then sell it many thanks in advance ****Wing now sold**** not the best angle but you should be able to make it out Edit: Here's another pic from the rear

my z only had timing belt 10000 miles ago by previous owner. but seein as i've been weiding in to the mountain of to do's on the car i thought might as well do timing belt for piece of mind. anyway the point is, must have been lucky as i've been driving it with a seazed tensioner.i'm gonna treat is as a sign that the car wants to live. project still coasting along nicely then!

Just wondered if any of you guys have had this happen to you.Took car out today and as i pulled out of a junction she started to splutter badly and wouldn,t rev up on boost (When needle was trying to go past half way mark on dash). Looked under bonnet and some of the pipe work on pas side were frozen (not sure wot there for as this is still new to me).So i thought i,d ask the gurus on here as to wot the problem could be (is it the turbos or somthing else) Any advice would be grateful as im not going to be defeated on my project z.Cheers in advance.:huh:

does it work ? http://www.ruststop.net/?p=1

Some of you will remember my z32 fairlady. I sold it due to running out of money to fund the addiction to a young lad (18) from up north. I found him on facebook and messaged him pleading to buy it back as I no longer cover half the mileage I used to, and he informed me that he sold it to his friend within 3 weeks (who also messaged me about the car), but unfortunately it snapped on him in the wet after overtaking a van and threw him into a drystone dyke. The car was obviously written off, and the poor lad died at the scene. It's a grave reminder to drive with respect, especially through winter.

Saturday night in Carlisle Place, City of Westminster. couldn't see reg or anything

Hi guys Decided to try do some work to my wheels myself, Some wet and dry paper from 60 to 2500, autosol metal polish and cotton cloth, halfords can of grey primer, and gloss black, I pulled the metal lips off(fake polished rim Stuck over the edge of wheel) which had black powder coat underneath, And pulled all the allen keys out (decided to leave these out for the moment) will get them done in the shop 1day but i think they look ok for the moment, I aint the best sprayer and never polished any metal before, and dont think i willbe polishing anymore in a hurry, my hands were bleeding, and have no finger prints left..5hrs on each wheel all by han…

im currently in the process of doing my brake upgrade . ive got a set of ap racing 330mm cross drilled and a set of 350z un drilled 324mm. both sets are in good nic but both would benefit from a light skim . im trying to find some reviews on how they perform against each other as i need to get one set skimmed and fitted . the aps are 28mm thick and the 350z are 32mm thick . on the eye the aps win handsdown and are also only half the weight of the z33 discs . any reviews from anyone who has used either or both would be very much appreciated cheers

Lovely looking Zed behind me as I was on my way home from Pod :cool2: Edit: Should be "Turnells Mill Lane"

hey, i just subscribed, and i was wondering if i could advertise my wheel refurb business now? if so... could you remind me how lol

spotted a lovely looking pearl white TT in loughborough today around lunchtime . anybody on here . i was the bloke in front in the passat staring in my rear view mirror .

ok its decission time ive got my uk auto tt and i love it but ever since i was about 12 ive wanted an r33 gtr but now theres a problem i cant decide wether to keep the zed and modify it to around the 400 mark or sell up and buy a gtr. personaly a cant stand the gtrs interior and i love the zed's one its a million times better in every way power wise i know the gtrs easyer to tune to high power but a 400hp wouldnt exactly be a slouch gtr has the obv benefit of awd so its gonna be a more stable car im not planning on doing any track days in either car but awd would be nice on wet roads etc finaly i do tend to go on long mway drives as my mums in cornwall…

as i've just ripped half the car to bits, thought it might be best to check she still works. had my doubts as i can get carried away shedding weight and stuff! but after the littlest turn of the key...she roared to life! thank f**k for that. so now i suppose i best get on with the timing belt! cheers to dave and mikey.

whats the deal with these, i mean surely anything is better than stock, as proven on my laptop when my car was overheating the standard gauge didnt even more a notch. but comparing prices of autometer and AEM gauges is ridiculous. whats the conclusion then? to buy cheap? or get the best, and not sure even if that is the best.

was a job and half having to solder all them wires together! lol, [ATTACH]62271[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62272[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62273[/ATTACH]
