Hey Guys Wanted to know if any of you was from belfast? Found a good deal there but its a very long way away from london! Magherafelt, Belfast to be specific! Thanks!

We are all having to accomodate Nissan`s insane price rises but today even I was surprised to see the retail price of a 300zx oil filter is now £11:75! Seems like no time at all ago the retail price was around £5.00 so lucky we buy in large amounts and in advance, however the price rise will catch up with us soon I guess, thats the trouble with fixed menu pricing that we have always done, more pressure on our supplier to get the price down then:angry: Jeff TT

I never thought I would say this,:ohmy: but I am finally getting close to driving my 300zx tt again.:w00t: (It's only been 4 years!!:wacko:) As I only intend to drive her in the summer months, can anyone recommend a good insurance?:thumbup1:

Hi, well got acouple of pics of my new baby today so thought I would show you guys, have to remember I only paid £650 so not a minter yet but will be lol. and its a uk car so have to get some rust sorted, Cheers Mark

Hi Chaps, Any ideas on transporting a shell? And costs? Thanks, Tom

who are you :-) your just near the primary school, down the road from the police station????

I,m having my Ultralite Hikari,s blasted and powder coated but i,m not sure what colour , they don,t have the stainless trim around the lip anymore , i had to remove them to get to the corrosion they were causing :crying: Also my cars gonna be blue , what,s your thoughts ?? I have toyed with gold or even gloss black . This colour blue

I'm short on ideas. Ran the code....got a 55. Did it on 2 different ECUs. My car sits at 6 psi. I've ran pressure test. Nothing HISSING. Even tried to run my hand over the pipes to Feel the air...nothing. The only thing I could think of, is that I installed SSQV on the intercooler intake pipes.....and never blocked of the stock BOVs. But would that really be the issue?

what lenth & diameter pipe doni need to do this? I done it on my old zed but can't remember what I used? :gunsmilie:

Just purchased a non turbo manual SWB. Its developed a water leak from the front of the engine. It had a water pump, radiator and heater matrix prior to me buying it and it looks like the water is coming from around the top pully. Any ideas would be helpfull Regards Dave

Hicas arm/ rod replacements a common issue that will at some time effect all twin turbo`s with the hicas rear steering fitted. Once the wear has been correctly identified as the arms rather then the outer bush changing them is fairly straight forward but it helps to have the correct tools and parts at hand. (17 mm spanner, side cutters 2 x30 mm spanner, 1 pair of grips, split pins, hicas arms 2 x cable ties ball splitter) The outer rod end has a spilt pin that needs removing, then undo the 17 mm securing nut, a ball splitter helps with parting the rod end from the outer bush. The gaiters are held in place by wire clips, cut this with a…

hello gra . have you ever tried illuminating the cruise control switches on the steering wheel . seems daft that they dont light up . i know you have modded other bits to light up . just wondered whether you,d ever had a go at these andy

i wasnt sure where to post this :confused1: well, i posted a thread last week about a '91 zx n/a that was apprently stuffed, engine dying when lights turned on and when brakes applied, i had a few helpful people reply on my post (thanks peoples) well the guy tells me it was just oil on the alternator and still wants my v6 veccy for his zx. (sounds too good to b true) but im still thinking of going to halifax to pick it up. can anuybody give me any pointers to look out for with the car?? also i noticed when trying to drive it, it had a slight stutter, would that be due to the lack of power from the battery? i have asked him if this problem is still present and im wa…

can i see some of you cars with different spoilers on ?? mine is shot and i need a replacment . nothing to wild for me though thanks :)

Hey people, Ok...... I have got a set of rear side markers with the modded opening and a connector for a light. Is there a standard connector in the loom for me to just "plug and play" to illuminate the rear red side markers with the lights switched on, or do i have to splice in a new connector. Also, i would like to mod the front side markers (wing indicators) with an extra light, so this will be on with the main lights, 2 lights in total, 1 for indicator and 1 on with main lights....... if you know what i mean. Cheerz guyz, Alz.

Well i went and grabbed my new bonnet and nose panel... What do you lot think? I reckon it compliments the stillen lip quite nicely :thumbup1:

Well got my Mot friday, just got the car so lets hope all is well its a uk car with abit of rust on the rear arches but shouldnt effect test, just hope all the brake pipes are ok car to low for my trolley jack lol. Mark

Has anybody here had them removed from their car? Does the law state they have to be located exactly where they are, or could I get away with using the corner marker dummys as side repeators? Cheers, Dan

My Z is going in for a respray in April, Im still undecided on the exact colour to go for. The following are colours I`m currently torn between; what do you think?
