Went to Awesome fest today, was a great day, something there for everybody. Im happy to say 2 zeds were in on the action! 1 was the white one ive seen on here, green front wheels, silver rears. G reg jap TT. That one was going really well, sounded nice, drifted well and looked cool. The other one, was green, had Drift Monkey written on it, and didn't really drift! At the start of the day, i thought it was smoking, hard to tell with all the tyre smoke about. By the end of the day, it was clear to see, smoke pouring out of the exhaust. I'd say dead turbos! Anybody know it?

Has anyone fitted Stillen anti roll bars to the Zed? I tried fitting the Front today but finally realized after messing around for ages that its impossible to bolt the brackets with the poly bush to the chassis. On the chassis leg where you are ment to bolt the bracket there is a lump that i guess is to align the standard mount. On the Stillen poly bush it doesnt alloy for this. What have you guys done? Thanks Dan Ive got pics if needed.

Just to to say a big thanks to Baz :clap: Last Thursday I advertised in the "Items wanted" section for a boot/fuel release cable as mine had snapped. Within a very short period of time Baz replied that he had one and the transaction was carried out. I received the cable next day (Friday), fitted it Saturday and all is well again :D Thank you Baz, for your great service -it was much appreciated :bow: Cheers - Andy

I'm looking for some of the 10mm bolts and the bits they go into that hold on the front bumper at the bottom, they are also found on other parts of the car. I'm sure Nissan would have them but would rape me to get them. Can anyone recommend anywhere that would do them cheap? Thanks, Daz.

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3050891.htm Someone please buy this so I dont! My last car was great, loved the colour, interior, and it was a twin turbo manual. Only things i didnt like on it were the rust as it was a UK car, the 18" wheels made buying tyres expensive, and the exhaust a touch loud. But this rectifies all of these shortfalls! If its as rust and dent free as the seller says it is (which is believable seeing its only been in the country for 7 years, and the low mileage suggests it was sensibly garaged over winter) and its got good service history, then surely its a good bet! Screw the flat buying, i want this!

Just in case someone is after one: Just spotted this on Ebay for 60 Euro buy it now. http://cgi.ebay.de/Nissan-300ZX-Sonderanfertigung-/200636174720?pt=RC_Modellbau&hash=item2eb6d91180#ht_500wt_950 Btw, it`s not mine Maz :)

Saw a light blue one today. I think it was an L reg. Was parked in the Thane & Mears garage on Caerphilly Road around 4.45pm ish.

I've just finished cutting my injector wires and re-soldering them into my traction control loom. Started the engine and all seems fine, each injector is clicking away nicely. But then I thought, how would you know if you had accidently connected the wrong injector to the loom? I was using the plug method to install the loom so that I could unplug it if need be. If the injector was connected wrongly i.e. inj1 signal on the ecu side got connected to inj3 signal on the engine side. The injector would still fire as it's getting a signal from the ecu. But would this cause a problem and would you be able to tell? I haven't mixed them up, so just wondering real…

Well, a month or 2 back i sent all my intterior up to scotland to Ady682 to flock it for me. Well here is the outcome! And just again, id like to thank Ady682 for the job he did for me :w00t:!! This is a close up of the Quality And a couple of the interior, excuse the dimple like dents in the door card, just where they were leaning on each other, but with some loving rubbing they look normal again!

Spotted twice in Huntingdon now, once in Tesco's carpark and today in front of me going into halfords.

You know who you are, great to see you today mate at mine, and nice of Atlast to pop over too. I am re naming you WD40 boy, as we started working on your zed you just have to spray everything with the stuff, every connector on any electrical wire, jubilee clips, balance bar, plenium. i think even my dog got a hit. Hope the adjustments made a difference, it did sound better and rev alot quicker. Great to see 2 black UK zeds, and a white one all together enjoying the sun. Blocking up my driveway. And yes i have the power to change your username............ :thumbup:
