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. Heres a link to the guage I bought : http://www.zcentre.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.tpl&product_id=159&category_id=73&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=7

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…

Have we ever had one for the club? Would be nice to see some members cars on the wall and a nice cheap price for subscribed members :yes:

Been driving the zed today its low single figure outside, smells like fuel first 15 20 minutes. overfeuling because its cold? or has the fuel line in the engine bay developed a slight leak due to the cold? had that last winter just had to tighten the clips. opinions?

Ok im after upgrading the rear standard speakers to something sounding a little nicer. Im wanting to stick with 6x4 as i think it would be too much of a pain to fit 6x9 so has anyone fitted a set of 6x4 that they have been mighty impressed with? Ive just had a look on ebay and seen some caliber ones from my memory they are quite a good make arent they? Marty

I need a carpet/upholstery cleaner,something that will wet clean my seats,was thinking or a hand held vax cleaner,anyone know are they any good?

Ok so this shock was in the boot of the shorty and its got 4 adjustments for dampening by the looks of it and 2 locknuts on the thread so nut sure if its height adjustable as well but what make is it? Marty

Is a pain!-managed it in the new surround by making a facia from 1mm steel and tacking it to the cage!:ph34r:-at least it won't go anywhere! LOL! Can't make up my mind to leave it black or paint it silver to match the Z?:online2long:

I have just fitted a full set of Meister coilovers, lowered it so my rear 18x9.5 alloys / tyre has a finger width of space between tyre and arch. The car looks awesome sat at that height and un-believeabley still clears speed bumps! The rears have a 30 offset which means the tyres are very close to the arch inner roll but for the passenger side this is absoulutely fine with no scrub but the drivers side hits the lip now and again which is well annoying. When you look straight down from about i could phyisically see the passenger side leans in a good 10mm more than the drivers side so i checked the camber adjustmant and mad sure both where at maximum lean in but…

Does anyone know what the actual thickness is of the pin striping on 99 spec rear lights?

At last she's got a ticket!-trust me to choose a day we got the snow!:blink:

spotted this zed after leaving Baz's place looked white in the light lwb blacked out windows

Is a swb subframe different to a lwb one? Inevitably they will be different and hard to find so anyone know where i can get one for a shorty?

Basically think my cats are about to give up and was just wondering where do i get decent replacement cats from preferbly high flow cats.

Well after three months of waiting they finally turned up this morning. Lovely quality wheels :thumbup1: They cost a small fortune but im really happy with them and they look MINT!!
