Hey Guys, Wanted to know if anyone's ever done leather repair or restoration for their seats?? How hard is it to do?? My Z's seat's are quite worn and have lost colour a bit. Also does anyone in forums actually do it professionally or know someone who does? Cheers!

still aint had time to jack car up yet,i have coil overs at rear so would you think its subframe bushes?and whats that kit like that takes no time to fit on ebay as dropping frame is a no no time and money

I`m just wandering if anyones had Evo Brembos fitted usung 295mm discs? the reason I ask is that I have had my Brembos and 324mm discs fitted today and whilst talking to my mechanic he reckons the 295mm discs would be too small?? So off i went back to my house and got a 295mm disc and gave it to the mechanic, we found the edges of the pads would only be touching about 3/4 of the disc? and the rest of the pad was in thin air? Obviously we have used the relocation brackets, so I`m just wandering what set up is needed for the 295mm discs Daz :flowers:

was told the auto box learns your driving style the same as mitsubishi cars, is this true? and if so how do you reset it? simple as disconnecting the battery?

while driving along today i went past a blue targa panel from a zed . any body missing one

want the ones with the provison for the sidelight aswel. they seem to be coming out from ebay at 32 plus delivery opf around 3 quid or 37 quid not incluidng delivery from zcentre. so where is the best place to buy?

Not trying to start an arguement or anything this is a genuine thread looking for a good discussion. Seems over the last 12 months that zed parts prices, or what people expect to pay for something has plumited!! Is it just me or are other people finding this. To give an example (and im not knocking anyone or the offers ive had) but for instance the set of 8pot k-sport brakes that im selling, in excellent condition with next to new disks and pads, these retail new at £799, now i would have expected £600-£650 to be a fair price, but the offers ive had are around the £400 mark. Am i really that far out now or have parts prices really dropped so much so quickly?? …

Yeah, you with the big spoiler!! LOL I saw you an' you saw me. You on here then? :thumbup:

hi there, does anyone have any templates left from when they made some engine bay covers? if so could i please borrow them?? i have a big sheet of ally here but dont know where to start really....... many thanks

Has anyone got any pics of rust repairs they've done on the rear, not the sills, but the bottom quarters behind the wheel, under the bumper where all the water and shite flicks up? Recently discovered some rot on mine, which I'm glad I did, so I can repair it, just wondering if there's any pics floating about for ideas and what not? Cheers guys.... Tudor...

well shortly im putting up my Zed for sale. its sad but i really need to secure a future for myself and having a Zed is certainly not going to help me, im turning 27 and still havent bought a property yet and if i dont get saving now its going to be too late, of course something recently has happened that made me change my ways as when i bought it i was in a better position and splitting up with the mrs just doesnt help!! there are a few things that needs to get done and i had some major plans for this Z. the good thing is i had a compression test done by a Z specialist and it has come up well. pics are in my previous thread. http://300zx.co.uk/forum…

Ive got my chin up, so im thinking about what colour to paint the car again. I'd decided on white, but im getting cold feet. Im going to have standard bumpers on it, dont not sure if a newer white will look right. Im thinking a nice grey now! Its a big thing for me, the colour makes the car, its costing £1200 and dont want to get it wrong!

I have a tt bearing housing which measures 50mm from the fixing point on the chassis to the centre of the prop shaft. I understand that a non tt is different. Can someone measure me this distance on a non tt bearing housing please ?.

Okay, I'll probably have to pay some import but it should still come in cheaper than zcentre and hopefully with out the wait.

Can anyone tell me how thick the two spacers are? They go between the prop bearing bolts and the bottom of the tunnel.
