Looking for some opinions on this - http://www.americantechnology.co.uk/engine-restorer--lubricant-1-c.asp I've already done the usual Google searching but was hoping somebody had 1st hand experience using it!

Hi guys, The search is on for parts for the new car. Am I correct in saying that Evo rear calipers fit on no problems?? I can find loads on fronts but not rear. Cheers guys, Rob

I've had a look around my usual sources of guides but no joy! Is there a guide on removing/replacing the starter motor on a TT Manual Zed? I've been getting a bit of a grinding noise now and agan and I need to rule out the actual motor and hope it's not flywheel related :/ Any help would be appreciated as always :)

is there a difference between an na bmc to a TT bmc?

Hi All, Today I got my car back on the road after about 6 six weeks - I replaced the diff unit myself. I am not a mechanic at all but can read and listen to help and advice so I was really pleased when I got swapped the diff, changed the oil and got the car sorted again. After about 12 hours of swearing, getting shit in my eyes and bleeding knuckles it was such a laugh to drive it again!! I enjoy these cars and think this is what it's all about. so thanks all for your help again!!

over Christmas my dials started acting up, rev counter stopped working then the speedo stoped working then all the lights came on then few days later it all gave up and the car wouldn't start. rang an auto electrician who came and told me there was a "+" missing from the dials to the fuse box which caused all the faults so he bypassed the dials and went from the batt to the fuse box, car started but the dials were still poorly. as of right now nothing works except... -a very dim battery light is always on -the blue high beam dash light works -fuel gauge works -dimable dash/dial illumination lights so! what do i need to buy? new dials? is this a…

You were heading towards the Hyndford Bridge and you passed me doing, I reckon, about 7mpg.

Hi there Guys, Quick question, will a Mongoose exhaust that was fitted to my flood damaged car be okay to use on another car? Goes without saying it will cleaned and dried before fitting. Cheers, Rob.

Hi guys, anybody on here near Reading (rg10) who installs stereos for a living, or is competent with this kind of thing? Got a new amp and two subs I need wiring in in my slicktop. Also might need a noise suppresor?!? Not looking for a freebie, will pay the going rate. Just thought I'd keep it in the club. Thanks in advance, Daffy.

Hi Guys, I`ve just realised i need to spend another £43 on a lead to convert my head unit to rca out, so my question is... is it possible to connect to an aftermarket amp direct from speaker outputs from the head unit or can i only go from rca out?? I`m not skimping but this lead is from the US so I will have to wait and pay import duty also, so if i only loose a little quality im not too bothered or is it a big no,no? CheerZ Daz.

Hi Guys, I`ve just bought a 2nd hand Pioneer double din, I have no manual and need to know what all the input/outputs do on the back? Has anyone got a manual or does anyone know where to download a manual for it?, CheerZ Daz.

im currently in the process of upgrading jap mirrors to take uk heated glass . ive put in all the additional cable through the jap motors and fitted the new heated units . my initial intention was to route the new cabling to the rear of the rear window defrost switch and splice in so that they operate with the rear window . my query is , is there a live feed already in the door lume that is activated by the rear window defrost button . ideally this is the best option for connection . alternately does anyone know the colour of the cable feeding the rear heated window and the route it takes to the back from the front . just trying to save a bit of time digging around unde…

I haven't used my ZX for about 5 weeks now; although I did start it last Saturday so I could move it forward a metre in the garage in order to fit a new rear wiper blade..... ......so I decided to take it out this morning only to find the battery was flat. Not totally dead; but not enough juice to turn it over:no: I couldn't get the Merc close enough to jump start it either - long bonnets and short jump leads;:tongue_smilie: And Julia was at work so no Rav.... .....I'll have to give it a go in the morning and take it for a nice long drive to blow the cobwebs from the engine.....:biggrin: Richard:thumbup1:

I've always wanted to drive abroad in my own car, hire cars are good but I'd love to take the Z over. Probably going to Cote d'Azur, which is right at the bottom of the country. Has anyone got any advice or recommendations, obviously fully service the car and make sure I have european assistance? Is it a bad idea? LOL :helpsmilie:

Hi Love the wheels on your motor, what they, price size and do you where I could get some. Cheers alot. Andy

Hi Chaps, I believe the correct amount of diff oil for europe models is 2.1 litres. However, there is probably about 2.5 litres in mins, did it with diff off car and turned on side... does it matter that there is extra fluid in there? Sorry for no brainer question im sure - just a bit paranoid because I have spent ages getting the old one off and want to make sure every thing is ok! Cheers, Tom

I've been driving my car to almost empty to see what I can get out of a tank...I've been waiting for the fuel light to come on and now on the empty line with no light, is this normal? I believe the light is meant to get brighter as the fuel gets emptier, but I have no light at all.

Just stumbled across this (quote): Throttle body modification: The throttle body modification isn’t going to be the biggest gain in hp in the world, but the best part is, it’s FREE! In case you missed that, yes, its completely free! All you need for this modification is a metal file or a 10mm wrench (depending on what year 300zx). All you have to do is simply remove a nut or a bump of molded aluminum that is sitting right by your throttle cable. This bump or nut is preventing your throttle from being able to open completely. By allowing it to open completely you’ve increased your air flow which increases your horse power. Is this true/worthwhile?
