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.

I'm not asking for advice on exhausts, can't afford to do anything about it right now and the whole system is in perfect condition, although a bit of a universal DIY jigsaw. It's more of a general rant. lol The general loudness is becoming annoying, I mean its REALLY loud! It's almost like there is no exhaust attached. Its de-catted, though there are some DIY pre-silencers to the rear, but I think these are straight though pipes. At the rear I have two (what I think are universal) back boxes with huge outlets. They look nice, real nice, though massive you can get your fist in there. Flooring it on a motorway sounds beastly, and I like the burble I so…

General consenus feeling really. Is it ok to ram 18 billion watts worth of eletrical hardware into your zed? or does the car lend itself to a more subtle approach that doesnt require so much stuff. IS it rice to ice in your opinion :D my opinion is the zed is focused enough to not need a stero at all. my previous car didnt the pur of the engine and lack of stero made it thjat more special to drive.

opinions and technical bumf appricated. basically i threw some red ex something or other feul injector cleaner throuigh my car that supposed to clean them up and give you better mpg and raise octane numbers. both me and my my father tryed it he has an rx8. after about 200 miles he hit a flat spot followed by alot of crap that came out the rear and since then the car has never driven better, more resposive tec so he says. and i too tbh did have something simular i took it out for a blast crap came out and it ran/runs much better, feels miore responsive etc and seems to produce better acceration higher up the rev range. it also seems to have cured the pulsing i had at full …

Your zed is back together, see you in the morning. Jeff TT

Thanks to every one who has helped me out over the last 9 years:thumbup: you know who you are:cool3::cool3::bow: Dave

Going to be buying a clutch at the end of the month, who do you guys buy them off so I can get a rought price? will be upping power in time so want a clutch that can handle it, not uprating turbos, so what ever you can get out of a stock motor and turbos but will be chipping ect. Been looking on ebay, but sometimes you can trust what you are getting. Cheers Mark

Anybody know where I can get a pair of these from? Thanks, Dan

There has been a few questions about wheel spacers so took a few pics of mine.I have 25mm front spacers with 18" wheels 245x40 tyres. Under extream conditions ie very bumpy country roads they do scuff the inner plastic guards a little but on normal roads they are great.The stance looks great I think so here's the pics plus a few others just for the hell of it.

This is the platsic thing on the rear of the drivers door lock and its beyond repair. I have seen the tech fix but Im worried if I use the passenger one and the same thing happens in the future Im stuffed for getting in the car. So does anyone have one of these for sale or know anywhere that I may be able to get one? Its the drivers side and Yellow. Thanks Dave
