Unfortunately I've been bogged down with work and as such been both idle and anti-social when it comes to getting some pictures up of what feels like my new baby :) . I've only had it a week and got a list as long as my arm of project's I want to do so I figure the best way to make up for it and keep track is by starting a journal. This will also be backed up with a few extra pictures on Flikr for anyone interested: So to kick things off I'll start with a few pictures from the day she came to me: Following this the first thing I decided to do after much debate was remove the canards and wing, however looking at the pics no…

When are you going to put your artistic talents with fibreglass to the test and make me the beets abflug wide body kit.

Saw this in Widnes around 5:00 o'clock tonight, was having a look when the owner returned to his car. He isn't a member of the forum as yet, but I left him a club card, his name is Chris, and he is from St. Helens Merseyside. Nice black TT auto UK spec.

I've got a few HKS gauges to get fitted and plumbed in, but not sure exactly where/how to get the senders located. First one is an oil temp gauge, I know they usually fit into a sandwich plate above the oil filter, but this one has a small bit of pipe and a clamp so must have been clamped onto somewhere?! Other one is an exhaust temp gauge, how am I supposed to put this into an exhaust? do I need to get something welded in place, then the nut on the sender screws onto it clamping in place? Thanks for any help, btw they came off a Z :thumbup1:

Well given up with official software after it kept moaning that the cable wasn't plugged in so switched to the trial software, (yes it's a conzults reader/cable it's got it stamped on the big Gray box thing down buy the connector) anyway the trial gave me a fault codes and monitoring and not much else. Car is a Uk spec TT, suffering a smoking issue similar to what artztogo's is like, smokes from idle, and when you put your foot down a bit, but then clears when crusing, only to smoke again once idle, and the gear box only uses 2nd gear and reverse. And flagged up codes 34 for the det sensor And code 54 for communication to auto transmission gear box faul…

Hi Mate, which one left or right or both? Right hand is from the rockers too, but you said screw/bolt and that threw me a little, will get it out to you tommorrow Daz:thumbup1:

Been a couple of years since I crashed my Zed and toying with the idea of dipping my toe back in the water but should I be expecting a massive kick in the teds on insurance this time?

Hi all, I need my seats re-leatherd. I know people have had it done in the club but could you please give me a heads up on who to contact and who to recommend. Cheers

http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=23616 One of the things we like more than anything else on a good Shed of the Week candidate is a decent, well-written advert. It shows that the sender cares enough about their motor to give it a proper sell, and generally (we reckon) that they're an honest enough sort. We also reckon somebody punctilious enough to bother about a spot of speeling, punctuation and grammar (as well as a well-crafted ad) is also more likely to be the type to bother about a spot of regular servicing, care and general maintenance for their motor. We have no hard data to back this theory up, of course, but shedding is all about …

Well im on my way to do a auto box swap on Saturday, and was just wondering why the auto fails so much? and why its a waist of time getting it sorted out (im on about professionally and not by some cowboy who says they can do a gearbox rebuild but only changes the fooked part and it ends up going again a few months later down the line) What im interested in is, does anyone have a walk through, or is there a walk through of a auto strip and rebuild to do with what parts do what inside? Its about the only item i haven't taken apart to have a nose inside off. Seems to be a few posts scattered around and all of them, when the gear box goes in varying degrees,…

See you flying past me getting off at M32 bristol 11pm, 12/5

Hi i seem to have a brake fluid leak in my system but i have good brakes and no signs of any leaks on the pipes etc so im guessing i have a leaky piston. As the rears have been re conditioned by previous owner im guessing it will be the fronts? If so is this the correct kit i need? Or can you recommend a company tryed and tested by you guys? Also whats the best paint to use (red) and also where to get it from? Thhhaaaannnnkkkksssss http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-200SX-300ZX-Brake-Caliper-repair-kit-204015-/270735300144?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f0914d630

Long story. Tring to find out if the BMW;s the LSD the owner told me it had. Spin the wheel and the other turns the same way on the TT subframe ive got sitting there. Turns the other way on the BMW. Is it an LSD?

Ok so who has a folder on their computer just with Z pics in? Click onto it and post up the amount of pics you have! Me - 533 items :whistling:

So I take my car to the RR today and it's running super sweet. did give it a bit of of welly when I got closer to home, but don't think that something suddenly broke? There is a sound of what appears to be a boost leak coming from the gap between the engine and the cabin. but couldn't find any obvious disconnected or perished hose. Problem: Basically sounds/feels like it's got a subtle misfire. Instead of running smoothly, sounds more like a rumbling sound.. all through boost/acceleration. tbh the electrics/wiring is probably the weakest link in my car :( I Did a basic check on coil packs and connectors and nothing looks untoward. I'm going to…

534.0 HP / 450.5 at wheels @ 1.06 BAR boost Not sure what others have got at around 1 bar (people don't seem to list it anymore)... but thought that was a pretty good result.

So following on from yesterday and todays drama make sure you check out the taster pic at the bottom of the page http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=150466 and also the destruction at the bottom of page one http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=147057 Now just a taster as the newly flocked interior has arrived today from Ade, it's difficult to resist ripping open all the boxes as I need to keep the safe until tomorrow but you get the idea. Along with the seats to fit So IF the leak is just a hose Cinders should make the ball on Saturday, fingers crossed. All I can say it's going to be one hell of a busy day tomorro…
