Was going to paint the roof sections but rubbed it down and did this instead,now got to do the rear section. Also got my crytal lights so they had to go in!:w00t: Took some fettling to fit tho'........:wacko:

anybody know where i can buy the door trim panel which fixes on the outside of the rear of the doors in the B pillar area,

Hi everyone, Not really posted anything of my zed yet so before the long slog of work begins i thought i'd take some pics so when u all get a chance to see her you can see how far she's come. Low milage but a bit tatty when i bought her, cheap enought to take on though. So far timing belt 100k kit, upgraded the ptu, ironed out a little list of fault codes, replaced missing trim, replaced some pannels and sprayed roof, brakes too. MOT monday, i'm sure there will b something else they tell me about but hopefully not much, they also replacing the centre bearing and exhaust for me befor i tackle the rest. I'll update with more photos as i go but i want this…

As per a previous post I thought the new Z was a little slow but the boost gauge doesn't work and sits at -14 all the time. Fitted an aftermarket gauge this weekend and took it for a spin. The gauge only reads 0.4 bar so not full boost. I've had the car on conzult a few weeks ago and there were no error codes, are we talking a boost leak here? On a plus note fitted the stereo so at least I have some tunes in the car :walkman:

as above, can you let me know where to get one from. doing a dett sensor bypass as i have an EBC. and keep getting code 34's.

Which spark plugs do you have/recommend for NA Z32's? Reckon I will change mine shortly but not sure whats in her at present nor what to fit. Also any recommendations for oil filter and oil type?

hey guys, i know this has been discussed before, but can anyone tell me the make and model of baby seat that will fit in the front of my lwb uk with leathers? its getitng abit depressing that i cant take him out in the car, the baby is a lady magnet on his own lol, but combined with a zed ill be irresistible LOL!

Anyone know where i can buy the trim between the window and the door for less than £68 per side, as mine are starting to show the metal strip and looks a bit dated.

.... when I took my rear bumper off! :death: Also, this is what has happened to the metal bars that go all the way round the bumper under the top rim to hold it to the car! So, in order to put my bumper back on properly, has anyone got the big bar accross the back spare? And does anyone have these rails/bars to actually attach the bumper to the car?

My mate has borrowed a Snap-On visual inspection device from his work and left it with me for the weekend! :rockon: I am checking the internal condition of my TT engine before it goes into my car, it had an intermittant misfire before so wanted to make sure nothing major was wrong. The back two spark plugs weren't very tight at all, and I need to compare the plugs to charts I've seen before to identify any wear. When using this borescope, what sort of things am I looking for? I also have this spare engine sat in the garage that is apparently 'forged' - what markings/writing do the standard pistons have on the top and what sort of thing would an uprated one …

I would just like to say thank you to Daz for the TT bumper he gave to me, and for his hospitality whilst we were at his house to pick it up. Daz, your 300's are a credit to you buddy, stunning mate, Yvonne and I spoke of nothing else on the way home, she is well impressed mate, sorry she talks so much though!!! Thanks again mate, a real credit to the Forum.

My boss asked if he could use my zed to take someone in his family to a wedding which i said ok to as he is a slow and sensiable driver. That was at 10 o'clock this morning and he has been using it most of the day! :lol: Think he may be looking to buy one soon!!! power of the zed! :bow:

are there any free mods you can do to the Z for a few extra horses? i know theres a few on evos, scoobies and the gt4 and vr4 so was just wondering??

I wanted to put a poll up but dont know how :-( Also, which is the more desirable version? Or is there nothing in it?? Reason I ask is my dad reckons I am making a mistake putting a JDM rear bumper on my UK car as people will assume it is just a grey import... What do you think? BTW my dad has nothing against imports as he used to have a JDM GTO but just reckons UK`s are more sought after...

Just before you take your Z to the scrapyard, give it one final send off doing some banger racing! Before..... After... Looks like someone opened fire on it as well!

HI OK I just got hold of a 300ZX TT This is my second one, I had the first for 30 months until I had a bit of an 'incident' in it :hammer: The other one had a lot of body customisation - this one is more standard but has some engine mods OK so this one has amongst other things an HKS EVC boost controller that were not on my first one, plus some other upgrades I believe. Now when I bought it the guy said the boost controller and dump valves were not working (said his kids had messed with the settings on the HKS box at the weekend while he as valetting the car) Seeing as the car sounded and felt just as good as my first, and seemed if anything to…

well im reading up on my manual conversion and my brother has already started on a few bits for me, Ive got the write up off of twin turbo.net but it hasnt got any off the wiring steps in?? does anyone have a write up on the wiring please and what needs to be done thanks craig

Anyone had them shear when undoing to fit new bushes, if so what did you do. Started mine today and looks like a couple may shear if I persist, sprayed them with release oil and will leave overnight but not hopeful.

Pictures as requested mate. Its been sitting in the boot of the car for god knows how long! Will clean up much better, but i thought i'd take pictures as it is so you know.. Cheers

Where does it attach to? (apart from the battery, that is!) I undid mine when I sorted out the engine bay but I forgot where it goes :blush: It's got two connectors that bolt onto somewhere.

Hi all, I want to replace the 3 (6 in totall) rubber mounts on my TT rear hubs so i have then managed to replace every bush. The problem im finding is that to replace them 6 bushes i need to buy a complete rear end kit that im in no need of. Is there anyone that would want to buy the remaining 12 bushes for the rear of their Zed? This is the kit im looking at http://www.zcentre.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.tpl&product_id=247&category_id=63&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=7 Luke charges £8 quid for delivery :confused1: How about £50 quid delivered for the rest of the bushes?

as above, i was half asleep so didnt really get a good look. had some crazy paint and looked real nice. anyone on here????

right had the Z out today for a little run, noticed when im braking and just before i come to a complete stop im getting 1 dull clunk sound coming from the NSF wheel area, the tracking needs done as its pulling a little to the left, but this noise is new...related? or something else?, i know its hard to diagnose a sound without being at the car but just incase any1 has had a similar symptom
