I have a doubt about the 300ZX Plain Headlight Panel in Z centre; I spoke to Luke this afternoon and mentioned him I actually have in my Z the european panel wich comes with that Nissan logo hamburger; what i don´t understand is; the panel is plain, so this means the Z logo goes on there as adhesive sticker? I recall the US Panel for 99 comes with a hole just to fit plain the Z logo; but according to Luke this Z logo is like a sticker...I am a bit confused on this...

Carrying on from this thread.http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=148873 I had an idea to make the brackets that the upper arms attach to adjustable instead.So thanks to Ian (Vods) I have 'modified' 2 oe brackets with slots and a shit load of bracing/welding,hopefully to be up to the job!:detective: There not pretty but the theory is sound (I Think!) I got hold of 4 motorbike chain 'snail' cams to use A. for adjustment and B.for a mechanical hold of the bolt so it doesn't solely rely on the 'pinch' to stay put! With bolts and cams fitted, This shows the adjustment range,bottom is least (stock) top is positive,should be plenty! …

Hi all im hoping you can help? Im in a situation where id love to spend 2k plus on a carbon clutch but i cant afford to do this at the moment. But i do need a clutch that will cope with the power of the Zed im building. I understand that the lifespan of a cheaper clutch wont last as long but im in need of 1 that will at least get me though the tuning stages and be useable untill i can get enough monies together to get a carbon clutch. What do you guys advise or have experience in using on a car possible of reaching around 600hp @ the fly with similar torque. Spec list is availble in my rides section if needed. Thanks Dan

Sounds an easy question, but i'll explain.. My car (well, my breaker) is a uk car. Uk spec, bumpers, seat belts not on the doors, washer jets etc.. Found the logbook in the boot, and it says first registered overseas. Whats that all about?

Can any of you shed light on this? I've installed the converter, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370221451404 as per the instructions but the speedo doesn't register anything when it's connected up. The instructions say to connect..... Red wire +ve feed, Black wire -ve/grnd, Yellow wire signal feed from sender, Green wire signal feed to speedo, Grey wire unused. So has anyone used one of these and had the same issues or have I a duff converter or are the snakeoil? For the record, I'm quite proficient with electrics/soldering and the like and I've checked and double checked what I've done.

Hi guys, Need a bit of advice, i've got a HVLP spray gun and if you know how they work, you'll know that it requires about 10-12psi at the nozzle, from about 25psi coming in to the gun. Now my question is, is the 25psi at spray gun rest or when the trigger is pulled. Rich

Just bought myself a new zed. Picked it up from Alfreton tonight and brought it back down south. Didn't have time to pop in Pete but I did wave on the way past :) It's in black and has got 161 rwhp which doesn't sound much but actually it's bloody fast. Will put a pic up tomorrow.

i was looking at my car today front on and thought hey where do those intercooler ducts actually go....so i had a sneeky peek in teh arch. no venting there. i did notice a cheeky piece of plastic taht direrts dirty road air towards my brakes for cooling swish ey. but where is all this air shes sucking in those two side holes going? does it reroute into the engine bay does it hit a brick wall? if i assume correctly that it just goes into the wing and does nothing it seems silly. should be be opening up a pathway for the air to go and thus increase teh cooling capacity of these smic and therefore lower intake temps and produce more bhp? im sure mr nissan is blantly smarter …

recived a "new" japspeed exhaust for a memebber which is spot on. there are however afew surface spots of rust popped up like speckles. i did start to autosol them and it started to come up ok.... anyone know a more productive method for this sort of work?
