Just got them:hyper:Hope you like them but they tick all the boxes for me deep dish,chrome, staggered fitment and I like my nuts hidden:lol: Some pic's but no tyres yet but put them on the zed to check fitment with 25mm front spacers and theyfit perfect. Need some help on tyre sizes the alloys are 18" 8 at front and 18" 9.5 rear I was thinking 245x40x18" front and 265x40x18" rear would that be right?

Please tell me can I take engine out together with gearbox? Or should I disconnect from engine? What else I need to know before are starting a job?

Hi, been looking and cant find 15mil hub centric spacers so thought i would have to go with 20 mil,a bit worried it might look like the old Carlos Fandango car.I have the same style wheels as Pablito, Artztogo and Andy Isherwood old wheels ,Wolfrace shark 8.5 front.I have seen yours Andy with 20 mil spacers but are your wheels not completely vertical, pulled in at the top a bit? Help lol.

Anyone had a read of Banzai this month (orange AE86 on the front)? 3-4pages on JAE (no, not the infamous forum thread, surprisingly), every car club looked to get well represented - the honda fan buoys, Evo stalwarts and Scooby club were all treated to nice big pics.. What does the Zed fraternity get? One postage stamped size picture of that tidy yellow Zed (sorry, can't remember who's now) from behind. Typical. However, on the plus side - there was a really tidy Z31 with a VG30ET thing going on, so there was a little to celebrate! Have to say, Banzai is a fantastic mag overall though - keeps me entertained on the long, lonely, dark nights - sniff.

I have decided to put my Zed up for sale but dont know how to put photos up on the cars for sale section. Could anyone give me an idiots guide on adding photos please. I have a digital camera which I guess is the first thing I need but after that I am lost. Please remember it needs to be an idiots guide LOL. Thanks .

Ok any ideas people, the car is off the road at the mo and full of bin bags to protect the seats, changed the T top seals and sealed em on with sickaflex (it stopped leaking for about 4 weeks ) now the serious wet stuff has started falling its pouring in again... also cleared out the front and rear drains when I changed the seals.:helpsmilie:

Just a quick question people............... Is it possible to cook/fry a series II PTU? For example...... The series I gets foo-bared with high temps ( I believe), but can the series II PTU get cooked.... lets say, if in the wrong location, with affect from a high engine temp and in the wrong location? Got some issues with my 300, and just want to eliminate some avenues.... Hope this makes sense...... Alz.

I met RAYF500 when he came round to mine about 6 weeks ago but I forgot to take pics that day, he does come on here but not all that often. He only lives 20 mins away from me and will be good to know should something go wrong when my engine comes out very soon!!! Anyway he brought something round to mine on Sunday and I didn't make the mistake again. He has just had it resprayed and only recently got it back on the road, enjoying it very much again :yes: This is his Mine and his together :wink: Just thought I would share.

Just found my dream garage:w00t:

Cant find the link to fitting a hicas eliminator kit that i only read last week:confused1: Paul

Hi guys, spoke to Jeff this morning, what a helpful and knowledgeable chap, I'll no doubt be calling on his services before long. Anyways, the upshot is that I think I have a cam timing issue. There is some confusing info on here regarding which marks to use when installing/timing up the belt etc which is why I'm having to ask this question. If I just go by the info in the manual, the passenger side cams are both retarded by a tooth, I haven't got around to removing the driver side and lower covers yet (it's raining :( ). This is assuming that the sprocket marks should align with the index marks on the backing plate. I've attached pics (excuse the quality) of th…

Can I disconnect the car battery for a long period of time without it affecting the alarm? Once the car battery is reconnected will it cause any problems with the alarm or immobiliser? Paul

Hi all I have removed my rear window unit to fit a rear hub, but cant find any way to make it water proof, is there any way of sticking it down ? or a tim that needs fitting ? , Also its the same problem with the little window that goes inside the hub. All feedback welcome as im stumped. Cheers Craig.

A nice item that is without doubt but no bargains to be had from this seller :mad2: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JDM-NISSAN-FAIRLADY-Z-300ZX-GCZ32-LIGHT-UP-SCAFF-KICK-PLATES-OEM-/250927049316?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a6c6aea64 I have some the same on mine but mine are a bit battered but eh at least I have some :cool3: Some nice bits on this car he his obviously breaking but again no pics of them working!!

Okay , my car is up on blocks for the winter ( so the tyres are not going to get flat spotted) i have waxed the living daylights out of the paintwork and tucked it up under a breathable but waterproof car cover, i will be attending to a few odd jobs over the off road period but should i change the engine oil now or wait until the summer months when it goes back on the road,same question for the brake pads front and rear, likewise is their anything else i should do to safely store up for the period ( i have also brimmed the tank and added storage stabiliser) ta Neil

Look at how much these are and the seller states there is no guarantee they will work, methinks for that money if I was selling and I tested I will confirm they work 100% all the time. Not one picture of them lit up green, disappointing is that :no: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JDM-NISSAN-FAIRLADY-Z-300ZX-GCZ32-LIGHT-UP-QUATER-GLASS-COVER-OEM-/250927053850?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a6c6afc1a Looks like they are from a SWB as well.....rocking horse poo comes to mind but not for this type of money surely :surrender: It is no wonder I made my own :thumbup1:

Hi, i looking for advice on whether the uk spec tt engine used different cams to a jap spec motor. And also are auto turbos ok to run on a manual set up without any mods. Thanks in advance.

Just been watching "30 minutes or less" a 2011 movie, 2 guys rob a bank and use a 280zx as the getaway car, quite good and nice to see an old Z in a modern movie :) http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2555099136/tt1622547
