Im sure most are aware of TwinZ rear bumper with built in diffuser, available through Z1. They have recently announced the launch of a bolt-on diffuser for the stock rear bumper !! Their complete bumper with diffuser design is nicer, as it sits lower than the stock design...but this would be cheaper option (inc lower shipping presumably) No prices or release date yet, and unfortunatly its currently SWB only but there is bound to be enough demand for a LWB version.

Why do they do it :pinch: I dont mind some mods but this is not right.when are they going to stop doing this to our zeds? The only thing I can say about the stickers is it made me miss the rear spoiler till I checked it all out again:no: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Classic-Nissan-300ZX-Z32-targa-roof-custom-sports-car-/280707661098?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item415b7afd2a

IVE GOT A BIG FREAKIN TRUCK NOW. People used to move for the zed due to its supercar presence now they move as i will literally drive over them :)

As above was gonna flash you as i went the other way but realised i was in a truck and not my zed :(

Hi, in my eyes this should,nt slip, but what do you guys think, will replace anyway as box is out but let me know? http://s280.photobucket.com/albums/kk200/m_reed2008/?action=view&current=DSC03095.jpg Cheers Mark

Never been a fan of the 89-98 Z spoiler, I believe its a dated design. However TwinZ have come out with their own interpretation of the spoiler, and I would probably consider it as an option for my slicktop. Take a look. As per their rear diffuser bumper, It will be available through Z1 Motorsports. I admit the changes are subtle, but I believe they have done a good job of modernising the overall design.

Saturday morning and after 6 new NGK Iridium IX Spark plugs (old ones were definitely up for renewal) and the tired old oil replaced by some Castrol 10/40 Magnatech, she's feelin' a whole lot fresher! Plus fiited the sandwich plate so now have Plasma Oil Temp and Oil Pressure gauges up and running whoop whoop! :thumbup:

Driving down london street, Reading, this afternoon - with the targa roof off making the other cars around look inferior.

As above how much and were from, might as well repace as the flywheel is? cheers Mark

My mate has got the clutch out today, and said the clutch plate is worn but not too bad that it should slip, will be putting a new one in anyway but any other suggestions why its slipping, he did say the fly wheel needs skiming but clutch was fine when i drove in back from scotland. just started slipping after getting stuck in reverse one day. cheers mark

thought I'd best post this here in case anyone had any comments / questions :) http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=152528

Now ive posted this in zed related as its related to my zed lol Only thing stopping me drilling out the last bolt now, is my god damn drill battery. But if you have a stuck bolt, i cant recommend these things enough. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290575268983&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT Now i know dewalt do some of the best power tools on the market, as i used to have a crap load when doing sparky work, but considering the price i got these for off of ebay, and considering sometimes people like to sell counterfeit stuff on there, i was a bit optimistic, but having just drilled out a bolt with a snapped off el-cheap-O easy o…

well found out where the smoke was coming from, id wired up the wingmirrors last week after someone who owned it before me had basically just cut the wire. only to find today once id taken the center console apart again that the cables had fused together. now not sure whats going on here, but it definitely wasn't my wiring, as the wires for the cables were exactly the same when wired together. so it was like for like colour. Obviously it shorted out somewhere along the lines as the two of the wires were melted to each other all the way down, I used these type of connector to connect the wires together. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&i…

Been toying with the idea of putting the twin turbo engine in my long suffering gt40 replica??? It should be fitted with a ford 5.8l v8 (sat in shed). The car would weigh 1050kg with the v8 but i`m expecting it could weigh 1000kg with v6, with a good strong build i would be hoping for 500hp/tonne?? Would you give the thumbs up or down for this install???

Was wondering if it was a good idea to install a second battery into my Zed due to running 2 amps, and a carputer, plus all the other parts that are on zeds. id imagine its not doing my alternator any good trying to recharge the battery when everything is being ran. Was thinking of taking the live feed for the amps and pluming the second battery into the AMP fuse box in the boot, and then earthing the battery on the same point as my AMPs do, using 12gauge copper wire. only thing is, the ideal place to put a battery is taken up by a 10" subwoofer. Anyone know if id run into issues doing this? Or any good 12v small batterys? i have a spare battery for a ze…

i've been toying with the idea of playing with some of this EL stuff (electroluminescent) and im thinking what i could do with it, i want to make a backing for my radio blanking plate (stainless with fairlady laser cut into it) and im thinking of lighting the "300zx" in rear light cluster up. now im thinking what else i could do, i was thinking if i could replace the rear number plate bulbs with a el strip to make it look nice and uniform, and one of the others is to buy this paint it back like OEM and light the Z up? and opinions? ideas on this? my cars getting paint either gold or purple so a dont want any chrome on it. all would be light up blue …

Well got my japspec clocks back off jim, so decided to refit my EL dials and rings onto my UK spec clocks. what a pain in the arse, and im not sure if ive fooked my needles up till the engine is running. Also installed my new momentary switch into the cabin for the extended power switch leads i soldered on to my PC motherboard, going to get another one for the amp on switch that can be seen above it. its a chromed push switch that illuminates with a blue LED, there are some the same on ebay for a shocking £10, but got mine for just £4 posted. wanted a green one for the amps, but cant justify paying £10 for it, so might just get another.
