How much should I be looking to get my boot smoothed (the spoiler holes) and resprayed at a reputable shop?

I think this is one of my all- time favourites back up for sale; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300ZX-SWB-TWIN-TURBO-ULTIMATE-300ZX-SHOWCAR-/170596806033?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27b85cad91 Seems to have increased in value since its last sale Dave

Silly question i know, but will this fit my 1990 twin turbo with hicas? Zcentre dont have the boss i want (with the cruise control buttons) in stock, so trying to find a cheap one to fill the 3 month waiting time. Ive heard that i need a special boss for the hicas system?:confused1: cheap ebay wheel boss

I am gutted to say that we did not finish the car today as some ******* has stolen one of my downpipes whichi stupidly left under the car - for the cat i assume... so i am thinking that this might be a good time to de-cat now. As i say, gutted as we have finished everything else really - just needed to get the exhaust on!!! So my question is will these fit straight off the turbos? i thought that you needed to get elbows or divorced downpipes to meet the decat pipes? But these look as if they would come down off the tubs and are a de-cat pipe in one? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230506632347&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Also i li…

What do you think i should fit on the zed. Stock electric folding and heated or Gardor electrc not wired uo lol

I think I'm going to have to get some discs and pads as I have terrible brake judder, especially coming down from higher speeds. Anyway saw these - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-N-A-V6-FRONT-DRILLED-GROOVED-BRAKE-DISCS-/390081936649?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5ad2b1fd09#ht_2329wt_905 I assume they're 5 stud and the pic is for illustration only, I'd have to check this. Just wondered if anyone had used these before?

As one or two of you know, my ZX didn't make it to Jeff's bash on the 5th owing to an annoying steering wheel vibration problem. Well it's sorted now - and full marks to Gary Wilson for correctly diagnosing the cause. The front right brake caliper had completely siezed - I discovered it last Saturday when I got home from a short trip and found the wheel too hot to touch and a slight smell of cooking brake pad!! So after a little help from JeffTT (thanks matey - top service as usual!!), some replacement calipers were quickly posted to my local garage and the offending item was replaced on Friday. Oh and they did the MOT as well - which it flew through.....:smarta…

Hi guys im trying to get rid of my z:sad: but after trying for a while im having no luck, now i know im never going to get what i want for it but i still aint going to take pennys for it. im just woundering if its worth the effort braking it and having the hassle of selling and posting all the bits? i know i will get more in parts than i would if i sold it. some addvice from the expert brakers would be nice. Thanks nick

Well after almost 6 months of ownership ...... I had to go to town today for a battery for my garage door remote, so I also paid a visit to the kosovans and paid the customary fiver for a hand wash. They do a good job, but I prefer Meguiars to their bulk buy wax, so brought it home, waxed it up, and FINALLY got some photos of my car. In my rides section if anyone fancies telling me why my spoiler is different to other UK Zeds I'd appreciate it :D

Hi all, bought a second hand exhaust today off a good lad from this forum:thumbup1: My 93 TT SWB existing exhaust's back box is hung on the coventional style rubber mounts, (L bracket style and push fit, 2 per box) The new exhaust i aquired today was mounted on a single soild rubber mounting, flat plate on can and bolted in place, 91 SWB TT. Are they 2 types of mount on SWB or is one a custom jobby? cheers James

Following on from a comment Mikey bean said, it would be interesting to see what the out come is on this one. so get voting lol

anybody used these adjustable rear arms on eBay item 150561873713 Adam wanting some and these seem a good price Rich

Rather than hi-jack the deadzed thread, I thought it might be interesting to see the cars everyone had leading up to their zed. I know this has probably been done before, but still.. I'll start, mine are in order, apart from cars in NZ because I've lived there twice - Aug 2005 - Mar 2006 and Nov 2007 - Feb 2010 Ford Orion 1.6 Ghia - 17 Ford Capri 2.8i V6 - 18 - 21 (Although off the road several times) BMW 325iSE - 18 (Bought while the capri was off the road) Jaguar XJS 5.3 V12 - 19 (Had overheating problem, also had steering problem, it saw a petrol station and turned left! So it went elsewhere.) Toyota Mk III Supra 3.0 Turbo Auto - 19 (Eventually died s…

Will a brand new standard clutch be ok with 1 bar boost exhaust filter mods etc .Can anyone recomend a good cheap pattern one thanks.:cool3:

Hi Chaps, I've just found this site after doing some research on the ZX 2+2 Turbo. I've been looking out for one as I've always liked them, and a friend passed on some details of one that's going into Anglia Car Auction's next sale and they aren't that far from me either. Admittedly there's not to many details of it on the site - link here - but there are a couple of pics. It'd be appreciated if anyones got any tips for buying these - can't wait to see it when it comes in. :cool3:

Driftworks site today has a link to this - in car footage of some touge drifting in a (slicktop?) Zed! particularaly liked the single lane stuff from 1:40, the mashusive slide at 4:00, and nearly loosing it at 5:25...

Some might know I fitted this last week but not really happy with the finish. So Today I thought I would tidy it up and an idea hit me! (groan!) Was getting some guages so I thought why not mount em' in here as well!,didn't want a 'flat' panel so I used 3 cheapy pods and mounted them at an angle for better visibilty,first was to trim the surround to get the pods in,they are then Superglued to hold em' until the Bridge filler goes in! Then a bit of filler front and back,they are now solid! The finish filling started,not getting any better at this! LOL! This shot shows the mounted angle..... Getting there........ And a quic…
