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? (At the moment its just plain white) http://www.google.co.uk/images?um=1&hl=en&biw=1003&bih=595&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=electric+white+ford&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq= http://www.google.co.uk/images?um=1&hl=en&biw=1003&bih=595&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=glacier+frost+lexus&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=

I fitted a brand new loom a while back, and was left with this plug, only remembered about it as I have just had the plenum off. It looks the same plug as the boost solenoids, but it isn't one of them, I have 3 of these, it is located behind the plenum, right in the middle where the dett. sensor etc. go... It's an american LHD loom, perhaps it's for something I don't have? Cheers...

What options are there for upgrading the front calipers (apart from brand new 6/8 pots) Heard of people using 350Z/GTR's etc. Mine's seems to be oversized discs with the standard calipers and although they work great you can clearly see the part of the disc that the caliper isn't working on :/

Has anybody got a pic of this kit on a real car and not the show car? I have only ever seen the front and wandered what it looked like from the back with that big wing!

now, with the car stationary, it blows cold air, once it gets moving or engine is put under load ( revved up) hot air blows, what could cause it to blow cold? also though when its 'Hot' its never really that hot, more of a warm air.... any ideas?

Hi, Well got my TT manual and have to say power delivery is very smooth you can hardley feel the turbos coming in but look down and speedo says a different story lol compared to my impreza were as it feels like you have been kicked in the back when the turbo comes on boost lol. Mark

Hi, after my recent post regarding Hicas, just wondered do you have to change the pump too an n/a pump ect, just I was lookng at the kit in the group buy and woundered if pump needed changing as well. Cheers Mark

Well not the best photos i know, but what do you lot think of my new lip? New nose panel and bonnet tomorrow. :hyper:

Well my white Z crawled into its final resting place today so I thought I'd give it a bit of a forum send-off. When I bought it back in 2009 it had been maintained but not necessarily looked after too well, the paint was different shades, and the seized turbo would have cost the previous owner too much to get repaired. Within a few days the engine was out and the seized turbo replaced. Last year I decided to do something about the tired paint. There were no long term plans for the car as I was looking at reshelling at some point, so painted it meself on the driveway :thumbup1: Ready just in time for the 2010 local shows, (…

I really like these wheels, bit pricy, but look fantastic. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Deep-Dish-ZAUBER-rims-wheels-18-9-5J-10-5J-300zx-350Z-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5adf50416aQQitemZ390293635434QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

do the N/A models have the hicas system on them

Hi, have 2 things bugging me, 1 on the air con dash pod, should the temp setting stay illuminated when the ignition is off as mine does. And the other problem is the ignition key release button, quite often it wont push in and release the key. Any help would be great, Thanks. Brian.

Hi all, found out today that its not my wheel bearing that's gone, but the ball joint on the Hicas bar, so was going to change it for the one on my breaker, but run into a snag. how the hell do you get the bar off from the ball joint end. its looks like a square nut, and then two very thin nuts. but i don't know what size they are. looks to be in the region of 30 to 32mm spanner i need. Also i take it once i start undoing them, I'm going to leak hicas fluid everywhere and will then need to bleed the system once changed. Anyone got a walk through or something, ive checked the web, and im about to check the online service manual. Need to remove the bit …

What do you think of this stunning Aerofix bodykit lol. Hope its no bodys on the site? Well its not my cub of tea anyway.
