Ok ive got a TT brake master cylinder that has two unions for the brakes however my NA one has 4 unions as there is no ABS i presume so is it possible to fit the TT master cylinder? Also is there any difference in the servos between a TT and NA? Marty

hello people. tomorrow i am going to try tinting my rear lights and centre panel. what i was wondering is what you guys thought about which bits to tint, I.E do i do the whole lot, or leave the oval reflectors, or something else all together?

Today at lunch time, spotted by the misses!! Was it you?

Our local car club is having a rolling road day at Corten Miller Performance Centre - http://www.corten-miller.co.uk/ Is anyone interested in bringing their Z (or anything else) down for the day? Its on the 9th of April, we need a minimum of 12 cars for the day, £36 and of course you get a printout so you can either gloat to your friends or go sulk in the corner. :lol: Your vehicle will be subjected to three back to back power runs measuring power at the wheels and flywheel, torque at the wheels and flywheel, AFR (Air Fuel Ratio) RPM and Boost (if turbo or supercharged).

Hey Guys, Anyone seen this 300zx on pistonhead? Any thoughts or advice? http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2363416.htm Only reason i am asking is the owner states its 52000 miles but a quick Hpi check and its showing 112000 miles last registered in 2004. Thanks

had to take a double take thought it was mine for a second not seen it before

Saw this little beauty by Victoria Park in Bristol, was like looking into a mirror aside from the boot spoiler, and mine is always brown from the muddy country lanes! Very nice :)

Yes I know I`ve gone a bit over the top, but I hated the fan as it was and wanted to match my engine bay, hope you like!!! Not fitted yet as it need`s another coat of laquer, but will be attached on Sunday and then I`m on the road again, whooooooooo

Hi there all, As the title says really, Jonce (Jonno) came round and we set about the drowned Zed. Ripped a lot of the interior out including the dash and everything behind the rear seats. It pleased me that I have made the right decision to scrap the car, we couldn't believe the amount of water still in the car even behind the dash and instrument binnacle!!!!!!! Took a lot of bits out the engine bay inc. plenum, rocker covers and various pipes and brackets etc. The intention is for a lot of parts to go in the new car I am buying. Really got the bug back today and cant wait to remove the rest of the parts like the brakes, wheels, radiator and exhaust. …

To kit there sprog out in one of these ? lol http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-CAR-THATS-ROLL-BABY-GROW-VEST-ONSIE-/190466059766?pt=Baby_Clothing&var=&hash=item7216bfe74f

I have a squeal, but it doesn't seem to be a belt. In the car it sounds like its behind the dashboard, when I first bought the car I thought it was the heater fan, but it isn't. Under the bonnet, it seems to be coming from top left corner of the engine (as looking at the engine), I had considered the alternator belt, but it really does sound as if its coming from the back of the engine bay, master clutch cylinder area, or below... Its more noticeable at idle and slow driving, but my exhaust is so loud when driving normally I can't hear if its happening then, don't think it is though. The squeal doesn't get louder, always the same. Weird....

Hi all, i haven't been about for a while. Well today i got the bug again and its time to fit my brakes. Got the parts good, but the problem which has been existing since last year is getting location brackets made. Does anyone know any machinists as im stuck in Germany and every avenue i have tried in the last 6 mths comes to a dead end. Ive tried a few in UK. At the start they seem enthusiastic but afer a while the phone goes dead:angry: Please help LOL:surrender::thumbup: Cheers!!!!:clap:

Hi everyone I know it's probably an often-covered topic but I've just re-newed my insurance with Lynbrook on a classic policy for a premium of only £216 !!! That's fully comp. with a £250 excess. I appreciate I'm getting on in life and so perhaps less of a risk, but I think that's fantastic value - especially with the inexorable rise in everything - especially insurance - it seems these days. Very pleased !!! And the people you have to deal with there are very courteous, pleasant and professional too so I would recommend them very highly. Mark Ps just need to tax it and back on the road !!

hi guys, im new ere, and really am in need of help... last night i went to swap my current car for an H reg fairlady Z, the guy told me it was running in good order etc, but... may need a better battery, i went to take the car home, and didnt even get out of his street, as soon as i put the headlights on, it died and wouldnt start, when jump started, it started straight away, then when i applied the breaks... the car died again, all the while the "power" light was fluttering. im assuming the battery is knackered, and possibly alternator too. but if anybody can shed some light and tell me there could be a bigger problem i would b greatly thankful. thanks guys, shaun…

Continuing on the colour theme, what combinations look best with a white exterior. I know black is the traditional combination, but I want to re-do mine is a light colour, ideally cream. However, I don't believe this goes at all well with a white exterior. The other option is a white interior, though keeping the seats black to avoid most of the dirt. Any ideas and does anyone have photos of white interiors? I think Funki Si's was white and looked stunning.

is it possible to check a cat for ease of flow or whatever you wnat to call it, i assume over its life time an old cat will become more restrictive? so how can i check the "health" of the cats.

Well i finally got round to fitting my SS exhaust to replace the one below in my sig pic. Since buying the car last June the passenger side centre section baffles had collapsed but on removal both had gone, i thought the car was bloody fast before but now it could have almost gained 100bhp the way it drives, on completely dry roads in 2nd gear the car tears and twists when the loud pedal is punched, spinning the tyres loads! i couldnt stop driving it tonight and ended up driving 30 miles! 3rd gear is now like 2nd was. After owning 2 TT 300's before this one, by far this is my quickest. And... if any of you have read my previous posts regarding high idle at 1000 …

Probably a repost but i dont care:biggrin: [YOUTUBE]6iufSA_vmuE&[/YOUTUBE]
