I need some paint for my 1990 silver import. I've looked at the other threads re paint codes and they appear to be American in origin - different from UK? Would I be correct in stating that my car is Platinum Mist Metallic with code 673? Thanks in anticipation.

Cool:thumbup1: what an ornament

Does anyone live in/near London and have Conzult? Got some mild running issues and want to see what the diagnostics throw up...would really appreciate if anyone could let me pop over and plug in? Worth a few beers?? Cheers

does anyone have pics or a diagram of how the electric window is lifted?

And he know`s why, CheerZ Mate :bow::bow::bow:

Which type of Air filter do you use? One mushroom or two separate? Brand? I want to upgrade my stock and would like to know which is the best for TT

hey guys, we have put a carputer in my friends gt4 a few months back, and we just got hold of a GPS receiver, can anyone recommend a good bit of GPS software for use with the touch screen?

after getting the box out last weekend to fix my clutch problem i noticed that the bracket supporting the propshaft about halfway down was a bit loose, the rubber seal around the shaft was split. Is this possible to replace or does it require a new propshaft?

Managed to get the starter motor on today as one of the last things to do and thought id fire her up :) started with no problems and sounded healthy its such a great feeling as a mechanic to have a new engine in and fire up straight away. The silver shorty now has Bobgenies old 1995 engine in so is very healthy. All i need now is the exhaust gaskets to turn up and AC idler bolt and will be ready for MOT oh plus ive gotta swap out the seats and interior but at least i will be able to get it out the garage and moving

Car can rev only up to 2-3000 rpm and gets a lot of misfire.. I recon it's vacuum. Any other ideas? Cheers in advance, (300zx / TT / Auto / Jap import)

For anyone that has good rear shock but the gaitors knacked here is a cheap fix. The OE ones come complete with the bump stops which are usually ok and cost around £35 + VAT each :thumbdown: So as I needed both sizes I managed to buy these gaitors from a motorfactors, they are universal power steering rack gaitors and are much thicker and stronger than the old ones. So armed with spring compressors etc the swap was easy after trimming them to the correct end sizes to slide over the bump stop and locating lip on the shock. Quite pleased with myself and for £7.00 + VAt per pair a big saving!!! Broken Universal part Fixed

I'm not 100% sure if I have pre-cats or not, I have an 89' Jap LWB TT. When looking at the front of the exhaust just before the cats there are pipes leading up into the eninge bay.. are these pre-cats? Reason being I want to Decat the car so what are my options? Also what exhaust systems are there out there?

Cheers Mark

Can anyone suggest the best sealant to use on the rocker covers?

see link Q45 90mm throttle bodies. seen this on ebay and made me wonder. Maybe this is how Z1 offer the larger throttle upgarde they use these ones would make sense. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Infiniti-Q45-THROTTLE-BODY-90MM-300ZX-240SX-280ZX-/370492993605?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item56431a7045

well, after finding out my new zed had a HKS induction kit, the filter was dirty, but had a look and got a replacement filter for £11 what a bargain. Cheers Mark

I'm getting ready to do my manual conversion on my UK auto. I'm pretty much sorted in my head how the clutch and gearbox go on mechanically but I'm a little confused about a couple of things. 1. Do the gearbox electrical connections simple plug into the existing autobox wiring? i.e. Reverse switch, neutral switch and speed sensor doodah. It also has a wire coming off an oil line, which I'm assuming is a temp sensor. 2. The manual box has two oil cooler hard lines on it. Are these just attached to the exisiting ATF cooler lines (after a complete flush) or can they just be joined together and ignored? 3. After changing over the shifter to a short shifter I'…

Right - i bought some cheap hardpipes which came with some bloody decent clips to hold the silicone pipes in place, unfortunately the fasteners on the clips are quite chunky so need to be on top of the hoses meaning that although they do the job really well, i think they look untidy as you can see the fastening mechanism. My question is this: Does anyone know where to get some decent clips to hold the silicone in place? I am using heavy duty jubilee clips at th emoment which don't look too bad, but i want to get some that are really neat and tidy... Any ideas? Thanks peeps

Any guides for the removal, assume calipers, drive shaft nut and the vaious suspensin components disconnected?

Not for me, but a mate wants the above oil for his car, where's the best place to get it, for the best price? Cheerz.
