Right, I have clearly overfileld my engine, I added a load of oil stableiser in with the existing oil and also some wynnes lifter treatment a few days later, only to find that my oil level is way too high, and this has shown itself on the oil pressure guage as well ( i know they are inaccurate, but its the first time it has gone over halfway) I was driving home from the golf club the other day (bout a 10mile round trip)and the car cut out on me!!!! stopped, pulled over and started her up again and she was fine. I took her home and left her in the garage all week. However yesterday i was jumpstarting a mates car using the zed 9as she hasn't been out since) and h…

You were on your way out of town as I was stuck in the jam on the way in.

Hi guys, I have bride rails already for base mount but want to get some universal sidemount adapters for them. Anybody know of any good options I can get in the uk? Anybody got sidemounts in their Z?

Ok, mot is at 11:30, the windscreen washers arnt working and one fog light isnt working. The rear washer is working, are there 2 seperate motors for rear and front? Where abouts is the motor for the windscreen washers? Is it possible to swap the hoses from the rear washer to the front if theres 2?

Silverstone are running their own open track days and have 2 planned on the International Circuit. (which is the old Southern circuit with newly built/refurbished pit & paddock areas. Supposed to be pretty nice. ) Saturday June 18th Friday July 15th £299 per car & Driver. £60 for an additional Driver. price includes Breakfast/Lunch and around 7 hours of open track in an open pit lane format. There will be up to 40 cars there on the day. 20 minutes of Driver training goes for £20. I know sounds pretty pricey, but it's Silverstone... I'm fairly limited as my Car is Trailer-only / SORN now... so as it's close, I'm there. I've posted this on …

Ok i have picked up these alloys that fit my car .. some one has stuck the Sticker ( Nismo ) on them but carnt seem to find who makes them other than thay have JIL & VIA on the Rim Does any one know the make ? as would like to get some center caps

what series is my car its a 1993 uk TT. just woundered. cheers Mark:-)

hey people, im going to be putting my car on the dyno in a couple of months, but im a little apprehensive, as ive seen many videos of cars going bang on the dyno! what would you reccomend i do before taking her there, both to avoid disaster and to get the best figures. ive not got a lot to spend, but im guessing clean the air filter, change the oil etc are reccomended?

i did and guess what it ate me alive, im sure had we both taken off at teh same time rather than him shooting offa nd me trying to catch up it may well of been slightly coler run, but damn they move! i do however think from that little experiment that a lightly modded 300 running around the 380 bhp range could keep up if not over take in a straight line, as although i never gained on him i also didnt disappear into the rear veiw mirror. quite surpruised how well an 21 year old auto kept up with a 50k supercar. he still had me though, obviously this was a lovely track session, and much more fun was had. :D

Bit of advise on this one please folks. Just bought a manual conversion to fit my 1996 TT but the current auto radiator is busted at the top and is beyond repair, so what's my options ? Will I now need to replace both the auto radiator and oil cooler ? Or is the oil cooler just for the auto? Ill be wanting to get an uprated radiator when I fit the conversion so rather do that stick in another auto radiator from a breaker. What's the cleanest route if replacing the autobox and radiators ? Cheers folks.

respray & colour change in progress with kit being fitted, not going to reveal any details, you need to wait a few weeks to see the finished article :winkiss: However, anything I should be doing at the same time? I already have new window and roof trims as well as new scuttle panels. All glass is out too...

Just wanted to double check the socket size needed to undo the rear hub. Is it 46mm?

Whilst out on Windsor this Saturday gone, i saw a very nice zed cruise past... Looked like it was matte dark grey / matte black with a wide arch kit.

Hi guys, as title please. thanks vic

See u at 6pm, I was heading northbound. Alz.

The two brackets have a different heights to suit the different propshaft positions if the wrong one is fitted it is potentially not in the correct line. To add confusion to this, later zeds used had a different location level on the body which ch…

Well as im sure most of you guessed by now lol with me breaking my grey zed i ahve another :) here she is, all my fancy bits put on though after the pic was taken and it does look much better than in the pic now its had a good wash wax and the wheels cleaned, i still have my deep dish alloys to put on later and now allot of parts to sell from the breaker and a few from the new one will try and get a few more pics sorted out soon guys :) i also put my apexi on and it has japspeed pipes most of the way through :punk:

Just wondered if anyone on here has any information about this ecu? just to know if its safe and good to use. thanks

It's taken a few months to fit, but finally a fluxx capacitor has been fitted that allows my zed to go back in time, and fly :clap: . Oh wait a min :dots: .. no its just on some axle stands. Zed is undergoing some minor repairs. new front wings and door, new discs, and possibly refurb the wheels while they're off!

Hi all, Who sells rps these days I'm finding it hard to find a UK supplier? Cheers

Living in the land of sugar beets, there is plenty of material around for brewing alcohol and as its not for drinking, the ethanol (and other alcohols which brew) is fairly easy and safe to do - just don't smoke. my question is, running this in a zed. I know about various seals dissolving etc but could a conversion be made to the engine and obviously timings to cater for higher alcohol, either mixed in the fuel or directly injected. I understand that LPG can run, albeit with the issue of the engine leaning out much early but can be overcome with custom ecu's and dynamic mappings. I also am aware, that the fire service does not carry equipment for high tempera…

And do they sell? Ive got one taking up space/bit of an eye sore. What should i do with it? Got the subframe still with it.

Black 300zx in Ty Glas Road, Cardiff on Saturday 21st approx 3.45pm Who was it? :confused1:

Been tinkering with the adjustment on my Meister R's. What do you guys run? mine is currently on halfway on both front and rear. I seem to remember that you are supposed to have different settings for front rear? Waiting to be surprised by Daffys reply:shifty: thanks
