Hi, I'm considering a good brake upgrade, I'd like to receive your experience about all the kit available. 1)Ap racing kit: the best probably, but too expensive. 2)Stopteck kit: perhaps one of the best, I'd like it, but it's expensive ($.2000) 3)K-sport/D2 racing 330-356 front, from uk seller: Tuv certified (in case of homologation like special car in Germany). about £849, fits on 17"-18". 4) Akebono kit front from CZP: it uses the same calipers of 370Z with 14" rotors, it seems pretty but I think the pads are the same (dimensions) of the OEM 300zx calipers, so I'm not sure about the convenience. $1200 front kit, fits on 18" with good clearance. 5) Custom ki…

Of course going into the Caliper i will need a 12mm Bolt or something simultor i thought (I have R33GTR Bembo Calipers) and all i have is these connections on the end? Do i need some bolt or some adaptor to make them work?? Thanks in advance

Had a rare moment today where I was lost for words, a happy and relatively new zed owner turned up in the shop with a gift for us, I looked and initially thought it was a book, then after opening it up I saw it was much more... Reverse back around 6 weeks ago when the very same guy came in looking very down and also looking for some help. Having saved his hard earned cash for an age he secured a twin turbo zed from a dealer, having longed for a zed for years he had eventually got one...finally! Sadly within a few days the zed had a major fault and with a less than compliant dealer his dream was in tatters as he put it. We ac…

The whole vibration issue caused by the propshaft has been covered many times in varying degrees of depth and no need to go into it fully again, however had the opportunity to take a few pic`s of a unit today that explains a less known or discussed area of the bearing support issue. A short recap to begin, firstly failure of the proshaft bearing is really an inaccurate description as the steel bearing itself is not really the problem but the rubber donut shaped support section that houses the bearing. This rubber section when new is very compliant and allows the propshaft when spinning to find its own nature alignment of the front and back section by centrifug…

Hey Guys, Who is the closest z specialist to East London , as most people i ask about the car have no clue :( Cheers!:helpsmilie:

Right then, a few weeks ago i changed my dash because the other was peeling. On doing that i lost the wire to the rear fog light switch (one that has been put in). The switch still illuminates but the main wire to the bulb has gone LOL. Now thats not the main problem. The main problem is that when i now switch the main fog light on (the one on the cluster!) my dash, side and rear lights come on WTF is going on? Any ideas please before i start the dreaded strip down and test!:thumbdown: cheers all!!

okay all, bit of a strange one, i changed to decats, after the event i have read up on it, now im not too sure as i dont want to fubar my turbos or engine. so im seriously thinking about putting the cats back on, however i would like to flush out / wash / regen the catalytic bit to as near as new a condition as possible, has anybody done this before, is it even possible, i thought about flushing them with petrol etc but not sure if its a good idea thanks Neil

Hi, I need to fit a temp sender in my rad top hose. Does anyone know the diameter of the hose so i can buy the right size adaptor? Thanks Dan

Morning Gents Had the car up on the jack at the weekend to replace the starter motor (cheers to Baz for coming to the rescue) and noticed the rear tyres have become somewhat slick Have been looking at prices of replacements. Don't want to spend a fortune as MOT is due very soon and I have a feeling that will zap some funds. I've spoken to Jeff about part worns and he's going to have a look what he has but also looking at new ones....prices below for 255/40/ZR17's...what would you buy? GT Champero £91.95 Marshall £95 Yokohama £113 Toyo £130 Conti-Sport £180 Many thanks Dave

Can anyone let me know what the 4 or 2 ? reversing bulbs are please not got my zed with me today and I know mine isnt working so gonna pop to local motor factors for em. Being an import I think my right 2 are fogs so it'll be just 2 for me. may get 4 though and get them fancy leds for fogs like someone else has done :)

After polishing the plenum and originally polished the cam covers, i felt it was too much and needed breaking up with some colour, so having some cans filled with the colour that the car will eventually be, i got to work and sprayed the covers and the balance bar. Still got the coil pack brackets and the cambelt covers to do yet and the throttle cover to tie it all together. Here are a couple of shots with the covers polished, as you can see, there is no definition: And painted: And got my japspeed manifolds fitted, although still have to get the drivers side O2 sensor hole moved:yes:

Think it was a K reg. Silver zed with a black tailgate and roof. Was it you? First Zed ive seen on the road in months!

Where's the best play to get gray paint for the Z in an aerosol? Halfords list it as a mixed in store but I wouldn't trust them to mix up identical twins let alone paint! Ideally want a few tins for my bumpers.
