My interior is out while im having welding done. The black leather seats are in good condition, but have a few deepish scratches, not through the leather more like the black of the leather if that makes any sense. I have been looking at dye's to hide these, as in fill the scratch, and buff to match. dont want to have to redo the whole seats, anyone have any recommendations on stuff used.

been thinking of selling my zed just don't feel that into this one and with a little one on the way not got the money to do what I want to it. So I'm considering selling the crx, lexus and the 300 and just getting one car for us both to use. Also nothing to do with anyone on here but I'm just not enjoying the forum as much as I used to Just not sure what to do really

Well i finally got some spare time today and after the delay of lost bolts ive got my excedy clutch fitted. oooh its a happy feeling when it gets a bit further to being done. But im gonna have to wait till i can get some help to refit the gearbox as its a bit big and heavy to try doing it alone in limited space. But happy days are coming once more :-).

Hi guys, Need your help again. Decided to put my set of UK clocks that I'd tarted up with some EL dials, put it back together and the speedo reads zero and the milometer stays at the same reading. It used to have KM clocks with I'm led to believe a speed converter thing, not 100% sure on that as it wasn't accurate. Driving it back to the UK tomorrow so could do with it lol. On a serious note is it required to be working for an MOT? Cheers

Sorry, not really yet another SWB TT offset vs arch rolling question I'm afraid: ET +16 (11.5") wide on rear would rolling of the rear arches suffice or will these rims require the fitting of wide arches/overfenders etc? thanks

Just been to collect AWSOOOOOME new interior, all tweed panels will soon be a distant memory and cant wait to get this all fitted. All trimmed in White and Bayside Blue Connelly Hide, not vinyl or pvc and with Bayside Blue stitching, Here's a few taster pictures, haven't got time to put pics of all the bits, but these few should give you an idea of how it will look and what good workmanship this guy does. If anyone wants details of this guy, i cannot recommend him enough so just pm me for details and he is doing special introductary prices for the club members. Cheerz Chris

Looking at buying an engine stand. Anybody know whether this would fit a 300zx tt engine? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sealey-Engine-Stand-/280774536785?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item415f776e51

Does anyone have a contact number for Ant?? Or better still, a contact for Custom Exotics that's not their landline number? My car is due to be recovered to them today but I can't get through to them at all.... Many thanks guys Vig

Having just fitted the Tailgate trim I think I am missing a bit! If you open the tailgate there are 2 side trim pieces which run towards the inside if the car and the bit I am missing would join these 2 pieces up running horizontally along the edge closest to the inside of the car. Is there meant to be a piece of trim there or am I imagining it?

Nice looking white zed northbound on M1 in the contra flow around Luton south. From the quick look i had (going other way on a coach to London) it looked really nice and tidy.

Hi no tail lights today but brake lights still work,I have been looking up possible causes and tail light sensor comes up.I have searched and cant find any sensor,i have 99 lookalikes.Any ideas thanks.

Im looking to fit UK instruments to my 97 TT. I think they went from analogue to digital instruments on the later models, maybe even the last UK ones. My model; year they dropped the boost guage for some bizarre reason, anyone know how i can wire this if i manage the uk dials? Question is, does anyone know what UK clocks will fit my car, or can i just change the speedo, rather than the whole instrument cluster? Sure someones done it, or the wiring mods? Cheers Matt

Hi guys, After fitting all the suspension bits I decided to finish a job I started.... remove all the old speaker cables. Came across this metal box (below). As you can see its fed direct from the ECU and ends up at a toggle switch. The switch was behind the panel under the steering wheel. I've toggled it and nothing happens. I have a thing about wiring so want rid of it. Cheers, Rob

Probably not the best way to repair a peeling dash but it's what I've got. There are broken pegs all over, and I have to watch out if I walk past incase one fires off at me lol At least it's easier out of the car. Getting the main lifted area was quite straight forward, I'm attaching the very edge now to try to get pinned down perfection :)

evening All, As most of you know ive only very recently purchased m 1990 Z32 Uk Manual TT. After noticing a strange kind of chirping sound (LOL not the dump valves before someone says :tt2:) it happens worse when cold and goes after 3000 revs. Now it sounds a bit like air escaping or fluttering through a pipe etc, but i dont seem to have any compression issues best i can tell and almost completely goes when the engine is warm...... Anything to worry about do you think?? Second thing is, im about to do an oil change so i thought id jack her up and see what size sump nut etc and a general whats what.... I had previously noticed an oil smell…

Is there any difference with a n/a or a TT steering rack?????? I have took off the rear steer and all the pipe work, i was going to change the steering rack cus of the pipes that com off for the rear steer. So i just want to no if a n/a rack is different with it not been a rear steer??

I finallt decided myself to get some Tein SS for my Z; will buy them from Uk instead of U.S.A. to avoid customs; is there any online stores you guys could recommend me to buy them from in mainland? I really appreciate it. Thax m8´s

Does have one, how does it work ? and How I can connect program to change setting of wheels dimensions and something more?

Does anyone know if anyone has transplanted a 200sx 2.0ltr turbo into a Z32 or how difficult a task it would be.

Well...sadly my Zed is now SORNED and sitting on my dads drive (wouldn't last long on mine). I have a 2.0 Galant estate which is different, very roomy and comfortable (except for the amazingly high accelerator pedal...my Achilles tendon is an inch longer now!), but it ain't no Zed. Next year the welding begins on the big nightmare hole discovered underneath. http://300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=154249 So wondered if anyone can suggest a MIG welder. I've had a little Oxy-Acetylene welding experience, but that's about it. My dad is buying it, he intends to weld all kinds of thing. Looking at around £250, with the ability to weld larger g…

Hi all, The car has had a PRVR delete and possibly AIV too, I need to have another proper look. Do these pipes look like something that was once attached to those systems? Basically want to get rid of them. Cheers

As the title says really. I am taking the Z to my local garage tomorrow to see how much they want to change the brake fluid. What would be reasonable with fluid?

Hey folks! I´m trying to find these mouldings for my Z, http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?products_id=927 I was wondering if any store or Z performance in the Uk would have them? I checked the Z centre site but no luck..perhaps I am searching wrong place? if anyone could help would appreciate. Thank you!:thumbup1:

Im getting uk clocks fitted to my import later this week. Paying for them to be done as the plugs are all different so getting them all soldered on.. Before I do, is there any way or changing the mileage reading on the new clocks to reflect the cars true mileage?? Cheers

Hi Guys, Ok, so this post was going to be "another Zed back on the road" type thing. It's a long story that I won't bore you with right now, but after six years of sitting in my garage, I've finally got the Zed fixed. Almost... It's had two new turbos, water pump, clutch, engine mounts, cam belt and tensioners. I picked it up a couple of weeks ago and it felt amazing, I felt confident that nothing would let me down as there's nothing left to go wrong. (I know, I know......!) So after about 30 miles, I noticed the temperature gauge quickly rising. Stopped and got it recovered only to find no water in the cooling system. The garage took it back, pressure test…
