I know it's screwed on but how do I get at the screws? I've removed all the nuts/bolts and screws I can see but it won't come apart :huh: What am I missing?

I saw a 300 on ebay a few months ago (i think it was cream/white) and it had an iPad built into the dash, where the radio etc is. It looked amazing especially all the stuff it could do. 1. Does anyone know whos car it was? 2. Has anyone else done it?

Been looking at ecu chip for the n/a They say that with a free flowing exhaust and free flowing air filter i should see a 20whp gain... Seems a heck of a gain, so is it just spin or will the new map in the chip really give me a decent gain... Also would they be meaning 20whp gain on top of what ive already got with the filter and exhaust or all up? contemplating getting some headers next year as well. Imagine there isnt really much more i can do beyond that to squeeze more poke out of the n/a?

I'm a bit confused at the moment, I need a new Exedy clutch cover and Z1 have said that they can supply but here's the problem: Pic 1 is the Exedy twin plate clutch that I have for a 300zx TT Pic 2 is the Exedy twin plate clutch cover that Z1 stock and Pic 3 is the Exedy twin plate clutch cover that is available on Ebay any suggestions as to where to get one from; Exedy won't supply spare parts for some reason?

I may be getting a black zx early next year thats running around 450bhp at only 1bar of boost. Seen it run a 12.7 qtr mile at only 0.6bar. This wont be a keeper for me but a car to sell on. Question is.... who will be interested in it if i get it to move it on. would be around the 2k price and would have a full mot put on it. Its a black import with the very rare 1/4 light light up window glazing panels in. Lots of goodies including a AVCR boost controller, huge turbos capable of handling 350bhp each, nismo 555 injectors, lightened flywheel. and has full bodykit(although could do with tidying up). Inside has a one off alcantera/leather finish. Will g…

I reckon that the starter motor is on its way out on the shortie. Over the last few days, everytime I turn the key in the ignition to start her up it sounds similar to if you try turning the ignition on a car when it's already running.... on the second attempt it fires up ok, but only a matter of time before it fails completely. I've got a spare starter motor on my '91 LWB TT; I assume that it will fit a newer '95 SWB TT? The clutch needs replacing as a priority (the new one comes with flywheel already attached), would it make sense to do both at the same time, as I haven't got a clue where the starter motor is on a zed? Is it an easy job, chang…

well i today thought that id give her some more attention and do an oil flush using the wynns stuff so i did a little experement, i bought some cheap halfords oil and droped all the old oil out and put in the new halfords stuff followed by the engine flush just so i could see how much crud came out with the fresh oil anyway i put a dab of fresh oil on a white piece of paper and when i dropped the treated oil i put a dab of that next to it heres a pic of it, quite impressive really bearing in mind this oil was only in the car for the specified 15mins at 2000rpm and it was fresh

First had to replace my alternator - has been getting more & more lazy in the mornings to kick out a charge & put the light out - should have done it ages ago LOL. Got that done today. Next gave the paintwork a coat of Gard X protective sealant that our valeters use - should help in the winter months as will be using my car as always & not sticking it in a garage for the poorer time of the year LOL! Couple of pics just taken out the back of my garage :biggrin:
