What do you guys think of this: bidded on an item and won it fair and square, now seller has sent me this message: Item number: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220806540395?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fi.html%3F_nkw%3D220806540395%26_sacat%3D0%26_odkw%3D300zx%26_osacat%3D0%26_trksid%3Dp3286.c0.m270.l1313%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 Dear zedworld Hi, There appears to have been an error where the reserve has not kicked in. Clearly I cannot let this item go for that price so I can either refund you or we can agree a more realistic price.Let me know your thoughts.. regards Alan - mr-zed Jeff TT

Can anyone reccomend a wheel refurbish company ? Want to send pics and details for quotes. After starting on my first wheel, I've realised Im far too lazy !

Hi Guys, well as the title suggests, i found some plugs...Thing is i cant remember if i bought them whilst in ZED phase or MR2 phase of my life. They are NGK BKR6EK. any chance they are for a NA Auto?... Rich ps i did a search on spark plugs but kept getting a post that said "use the search"....:tongue_smilie:

Im guessing there not but thought i would check. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-STAGE-1-ECU-CHIP-Z32-VG30DETT-TWIN-TURBO-/230502915160?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35ab0b5c58

if i was to go for a Front mount IC would the standard bumper give enough air flow or would i need to upgrade to a 99 spec bumper? thanksss

took it down for MOT today, collecting tomorrow, it has done 20 miles since april 2008 and that was me collecting the car last friday. Wonder what its gonna fail on. What is common MOT failures on these cars

When i got my car, it had a wood look trim in it. Done by Rev1richie, liked by Ian, but wasn't to my taste. Rich got wind that i wasn't a fan, so sent me all the standard bits in exchange for these back. Box came today and i got on with changing it all over. Im very happy with it now, and with the bodyshop looming, im thinking i'll be keeping the car! Took it for a drive today, i'd forgot how nice it is to drive.... And fast!! Ignore the cubby hole missing under the stereo, it had a flip out screen but i took it out, now need the cubby hole thing.. And to put the turbo timer back in...

During this hot weather I was coasting down hill at about 20mph in 2nd gear and it starting to ploom blue smoke out of the exhausts as soon as accelerated the smoke cleared. I have had the PCV changed approx 2000 miles ago Cheers Guys, Dan

That was about a year and a bit ago not driven my zed since till recently. do they make any differance. i cannot say because its been so long since i drove the zed?

any-one good with bov's? i have a set of HKSs ssqv's i salvaged from 2 of my old s13's. i fitted them just for fun the other day, they worked fine for the first few journeys, then i think ones stopped working, then the other now neither will go off, have checked them both have good vacumme lines and boost connections, car is holding boost and vacumme too, they just aren't going off, they aren't seized, noticed one the front diaphragm was off centre and the other was leaking, oiled and re fitted still nothing??? (leak stopped when refitted, and once oiled other was back in correct place.) any ideas??? TBH got good recirculates if necessary so am refitting t…

Having replaced my inner rear hicas ball joints I have noticed that my steering wheel is now slightly off when driving straight.:confused1: I don't know if it is my imagination, but I also feel as though she is crabbing to the left.:scared: Can anyone recommend a good wheel alignment centre near Coventry please. Thanks in advance, Redwine300

I have got a Datascan lead coming and will post up any readings I get, does anyone know the settings you should see from Datascan and Conzult when the engine is at idle. cheers for any help Paul

Last time I overheard someone talking about my Z was when I had the multicoloured red one with shitty 17" work equips and tbh it didnt look too great. three young lads rode past and I heard one say "that looks shit" :2guns::laugh: anyway today I pulled up at some lights in town, and to my left were a few guys on those mountain bikes with no seats, they were early 20s. When I cottoned on to what they were saying, the first thing I heard was "they're all autos aren't they?" and his mate replied "no, but they are like rocking horse shit with manual boxes, especially the turbos!" the first lad then said "I've never seen a black one before, it looks f&%%£n awesome!" …

Hey, Ok, long story short I can't use regular car baffles on my exhaust, they're all too large! Motorbike baffles will fit though. My exhaust exit is 2", but inside a 'false' larger exit. Another problem is mounting them. Normally they attach by a screw fixed through a hole drilled into the exhaust. However, my true exit goes directly into the main box of the exhaust, so fixing it through a hole isn't an option, I'm thinking about constructing a bracket to hold it as well as using Quicksteel. I guess my question is, is there any reason why Motorbike baffles wont work, reduce the Db? I have a bit of a DIY exhaust system, so just swapping back bo…
