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.

on my way to the sports physio and saw a nice silver zed with table top 99 spec rear spoiler , any body on here ??

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?

i think i may need a new injector or im thinking of selling her :no:. I recently set my timing to 15 tdc and the next day i had a misfire. its coming from the passenger side front cylinder. check plugs and coils and all fine. swapped over etc. when i took off that injector wire engine stays the same. so im guessing its the injector, tried cleaning up the connections but still the same. im starin to get sick of sorting stupid wee problems out!!

Been seraching for these around Z1motorsports and some sites back in the US but shipping is way too expensive and also customs; anyone can suggest me some stores for Z parts that have them in the UK? I think shipping will be much more cheaper and also avoiding customs. Will surely appreciate it. Thank you

Do you think they are really this bright :shock: I live in a pitch black area and with rear tints it takes forever to reverse down my road so these will be ideal. but would they be to bright and dazzel anyone behind? but i only reverse at work and my drive really and on a sunny day they should be ok to see if im out and about so what do you think? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Super-Bright-HID-LED-Reverse-Lights-Nissan-300ZX-Z32-/290522914605?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43a483df2d
