Anybody knows that 300zx steering angle is not to great ant if you want to go sideways you really need to work very hard. I have s13 as well and I am using that only for drifting. S13 have much more angle that 300zx thats whats makes drifting harder on 300zx. Anyone knows how to make more steering angle. Modified lower arms? steering tensions? or even any steering kit? Does anyone been done this or know how to do it?

Anyone else walk past their car and think 'fook me, that's gorgeous'? To me, my car looks the nuts. Still loads to do but what a car. LOVE IT! :tt1:

I'm starting to suspect my car may have previously been an automatic that's been converted. So I thought a few questions that you guys will no doubt be able to answer very easily, will solve my curiosity. Do manuals come with cruise control? (Most cars with CC are Auto?) What kind of dip-stick should a manual have? (Flexy-Wire style/Flat Alu style) Are there any tell-tale signs of an automatic 300zx? There are a few issues with our 300 mechanically and I need to start getting them sorted out, I'd like to know exactly what it is I'm dealing with before I really start taking it apart, if I know I've got to change things etc I'll make sure I have them before I …

Just now, Wednesday 15th 8pm, driving towards town on Wheatley Hall Road, I was in my Gunmetal Z on the other side of the road waiting to turn into Wentworth road. Sounded nice when you took off from the lights :D

Evening all. Parped a pheasant today, forgotten how poor the horn is in my car :blushing: Not really a beefy mans horn is it. From what I remember there is a single horn on mine under the nose panel. Reading through someone recommended the dual Vauxhall Vectra horns, Would I need to fit a relay for these? Any other recommendations for replacing it - I also recall someone saying the Fiat horns (same as Lambo), what model is it coz searching for fiat horns brings up 100's Cheers

Spotted today going round the bellfield roundabout near the q8 garage in Kilmarnock !

Roughly how much should I expect to pay for this? The fitting, I mean.

Recently saw a manual zed with a poorly gearbox / clutch, due to an odd grating noise in the gearbox area which had prompted the owner to find a replacement gearbox and had a garage change it and fit a new complete clutch kit at the same time. Its does not take much imagination to understand his disappointment after collecting his car and finding the noise still there and worse within a short space of time selecting gears became very difficult to select, eventually back at the garage it became stuck in 2nd gear and that was it. So it was recovered to the workshop as the other garage were unable to find the cause of the problem??? it was at least in neutral now…

Hi guys, I've been away ages taking the car dash to bits and converting...... I managed to get all my stuff done; pods converted to white led writing with red led selector on/off for the switches and my rear bumper reflector lights... Also a new addition.... Managed to light my door handles (in white led)!! :cool3: Also managed to fix my drivers door lock and get it working on the central locking system again by adjusting the three screws... Only thing is (here comes the question...) The drivers lock is activating the central locking but not locking the drivers door...???? I can still pull the handle and open the door. :censored: …

I always wanted to design/make a Z clock or a watch. But I have too many things to do lately . Maybe I'll do the watches later in the near future. Just right click and save this 724x1024px picture and print your own clock face, Buy a cheap clock disassemble it print the dial on a mat or gloss paper at your desired diameter and install it. set the arms at 00:00:00 and you can install it . You could paint the arms orange,use a clock with a brushed SS or aluminum rim to resemble the gauge rings or even install a back-light to it . I moved the tachometer numbers to line up with the clock numbers. 5 with the 12 , 6 with the 1, 8 with the 3 etc you g…

Look at the state of this, might be a cheap buy for someone though if they fancied bringing it back to life! Funny looking accident damage... looks like someone tried to get into it with a crowbar! http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2326015.htm Cheap for an S3/4 Manual TT though!

How do I get hot air through the facia and door vents ?

After having a conzult check performed on my car, i got the result of O2 sensors, and MAF working correctly. Having not being convinced, i tested the 02 sensors by disconnecting them and runnning the car to see if it made any difference, but sadly it didnt in terms of fuel usage. now would this suggest they're actually faulty? and i need replace them, the only thing left is 02 sensors or MAF to replace as everything else has been done. fuel pump and filter fuel damper and pressure regulator fuel hoses fuel tank spark plugs. injectors.

the inside of my headlights are pretty mucky . i dont want the hassle of removing them . anybody had a go at cleaning the insides in situ . if so a little advice would be nice
