Can someone point me in the direction of some replacement side light bulbs for my Slicktop. A link would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance peeps :thumbup1: I need to replace the birthday candles that currently reside there!! :tongue_smilie:

Does it matter if you have non synthetic oil in you engine and you then replace it with fully synthetic. do they mix?

Hi can anyone tell me what the difference is between a tt auto box and a n/a auto box:wacko:or will a n/a auto box fit a tt engine:helpsmilie: Thanks paul

without the brake disc in place, I just want to check something. cheers

Say you buy 5 litres of fully-synth , you change your oil and filter . You have 1.6 litres left . How long does it " keep " ? I`ve got some up to three years old ! ( due to resorting , reluctantly , to Kwik-Fit and their semi-synth , in between ) .

Ideal weather here to start getting some work done on the zed ;) haha so I've pressed the old tension rod bushes out using a couple of sockets and a vice but in each arm I've got two metal bushes about 1cm thick each that have remained in the arm. Are these meant to come out with the old bushes? They don't look like part of the arm cause they're in different places on each arm. Anyone got any tips for getting them out cause I couldn't budge them - but that's what made me wonder if they're meant to stay in. Thanks in advance, James

Looking for a good exhaust system for my Z ,want something tasty, project should be finished after christmas, will but some pictures up when finished. I was thinking of going to blue flame ,would like 4 tips ,but want something that is going to sound awesome any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

I know people are always after these as i sold my ones for 100 bucks so here you go plus they have white faces on for a TT http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300-ZX-TT-/330502014899?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4cf37487b3

what are smallest wheels that will fit? I wanna use my car for drifting so my 18's are no go. And anyone know where i can get a nice looking pair :)

Anyone with a Car.Mad smooth boot spoiler got any pictures they could upload/email to me? I'm torn between the 89 spec and the smooth look. I think whichever spoiler I have I'll be smoothing the rest of the back end i.e. removing the rear wiper and the electric ariel. Any pics showing the car from the side, and standing next to the car looking back towards the spoiler if you understand me would be ideal. I'm trying to get a mental image of how it's gonna look from every angle once its on. Any pictures of the smooth spoiler will help but if anyones got a black shorty with one on (I know I'm being picky) that would be great! Cheers, James

Just wondering if any one has photos of the auxilary belt arrangement on a uk spec 300zxtt with a/c and PAS steering car is 1990 model! Have a very horrible belt squeek so time for new belts!

Anybody know of any good installers of toad alarms ? Has to be in the Glasgow / Ayrshire district of Scotland ! Getting fed up with my cheap self install and now want a proper install with power windows and an alarm that you can actually hear - at the moment it's a pathetic yelp.

Just bought a replacement jap spec tt auto 1994 model.Drove 140 miles home no probs, apart from speedo sometimes kept jumping from what ever speed i was doing and 0 mph. Its has been converted to mph. Also when i give her some welly the power light came on even thought she was only in drive. Any help thanks john

At the risk of been flamed - the water in my zed appears to have frozen solid in the rubber hoses from the radiator - is there anything I can do to minimize any further damage? The zed isnt running - its got no exhaust on and it's on axle stands at the moment on the drive so I've got no way of thawing it out that I can think of.

I,m getting some duct vent off CarMad so i,ve had to relocate my sidelights and thought i,d do the angel eye mod . Remove the metal plates and the rubber around the light , warm the glass well and using a flat scraper gently prise the glass up and off the headlight Remove the 2 screws from the bezel and lift out . The reflector area is held on with 3 screws , take this off so it,s easy to work on . The led strips have 24 leds in them but can be cut down after every 3rd led and still work , cut back as close as possible to the 4th one and you,ll find they go in the reflector but i found thy were still tight not sitting well , at the other end where the wi…

I just bought an Iridium Drift Air/Fuel guage from luke on the zcentre. Can anyone tell me if i can take a reading straight from the ECU or will i likely need a wideband convertor ? Plan is to make a switch so i can read both the O2 Sensors.

I snapped a couple of bolts taking out the centre section and Im having a hard time drilling them out. Whats the best drill bits for hardened metals ? Ive got an SDS drill and cant find any suitable metal SDS bits. Do they exist?

As the brisk weather is creaping over today I decided to give her a last clean up before the cover goes on for the winter snow ! Couple of people passing by commented that i was mad cleaning the zed up in the weather as it would likely be a block of ice by tonight; but I'd thought i'd rather clean her now than getting that salt residue from the roads trapped inside the covers and eating her inside out over the next month or so. I've taken a few shots to show to all even in bad weather a zed looks great ! Not much snow insite at the moment as i put down a hole load of grit up and down the drive and path ways. I was planning in getting th…
