Wondering if any one has found a good supplier for repair panels and if they can vouch for fit and quality. Ill be replacing n/s sill and possibly a section of rear arch. Or will i be better off using a donar car?

I have a 91 import zx and it has TWEED SEATS!! anyway I would love to replace them at somepoint with leather but I don't have the money at the moment. I was just wondering what i could do to reapair the seat for the time being. Its a blue grey tweed seat and the rip is where they normally go on the right hand side of the drivers bolster. Everytime I get in and out of the car foam from the seat just flakes of onto the floor and its really annoying and looks rubbish, so what can i do? cheers people :rockon:

As above, got out the car after a short steady drive and whilst walking away noticed exhaust smoking a little. Not noticed it before, could it just be the cold weather? Going for it's mot today, and then got to book it in with Mark as it's over fueling, is this another connected reason perhaps? Any advice/opinions welcome. Thanks.

Another call to arms folks... if anyone is about this Sunday and gets bored with sitting on the sofa watching Eastenders reruns, we will be working on my car in Ascot trying desperately to get the manual conversion done as soon as possible. This week i think i will be making some nice authentic Chinese food for anyone who is kind enough to lend a hand - poping down the chinese supermarket tomorrow to get some supplies..... or if that fails i will just have to think of something else to cook equally tastey. Thanks guys, and thanks again to those who have already helped us out so far.

It turns over and there's deffinatly fuel getting to it, it was fine yesterday, only thing I did was top up with antifreeze, could it have something to do with my lack of an egr valve? I mean I was trying for ages and it didn't even try to fire up???

I know its not 300zx releated but would like a bit of advise on this car amp I have as I am a bit of a noob when it comes to car audio, and also where I'm going to be mounting it I don't think it will be accessable easily for a slight tuning session, so I would like peoples thoughts on some good basic settings please :) I have a gto 6000 5 channel amp quite old I know but don't cost a fortune anymore :) fronts are infinity 6x9 (3way) rears are edge 6 inch components for mid & treble In the boot is a 12" jbl sub which takes up a third of the boot. the settings on the amp are 4.

Hello guys does anyone have done this to own cars? and where we can buy this light? is this led light or what? [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE]

or what it is a copy of? http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y206/mrogers/?action=view&current=DSCF2175.jpg Anyone?

I've been looking around, & was wondering if the Z32 LWB (2+2) ever came with a hardtop (no targas, not sure if a N/A came with a hartop)? Cheers Stu

Does anybody know what colours the +/- wires are in the window control bulb part of the loom? (the bulb that lights up the door controls when the headlights go on). I am fitting one 3mm ultra bright led per door to my (wait for it) 'original car spare illuminating ring bulb holders' that will be soldered into this part of the loom. Multimeter shows 11v with alternator not running, so will go with a 12v resistor for these. On my JDM Z32 there is no loom for the plugs; plus I could not fit these anyway as they are U.S and are the wrong way around (originally bought for the plastic bits that the circlips keep on). Bulb will be going into where the original g…

hey can anyone piont me in the right direction for a double to single din dash kit? cheers

HI. Anybody have a wide body kit from ebay on is car? And whats the diference between ebay kit and zedcentre kit? thanks

Has anyone else noticed that zed prices seem to be on the way up? Just in general now i have been looking around the prices have gone up since i bought mine 2 years ago. Now there does seem to be a few bogus people that believe an automatic is worth 7k or that their engine might be producing 800bhp which looks good in theory but even the worst off zeds people are looking for higher prices. I think some of them need a reality check or at least join a forum and find out really what it is worth Marty

Spotted this at a good price , nowt to do with me but might help someone out . http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-Z32-300ZX-Slave-Clutch-Cylinder-30620-30P00-/360321221684?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item53e4d18434

I am gonna swap the cloth interior from my 91' N/A Z32 with a pretty good leather interior from a 90' TT z32, is there anyhting I need to modify/look out for, or is it a straight swap?

Hello everyone. I really need a help and advice. Oil pressure is not working probably that is a oil pump but I am not ruse. All engine is not working properly it's shaking and I can hear the noise from driver side seems like from a turbo and driver side exhaust from turbo is shaking. It's that can be oil didn't come out from turbo ant turbo now is broken? MY turbo is just done around 8k miles is was brand new power enterprise pe1420. Please don't ignore me please help and advice. My lovely z is standing now and I can't drive don't know what to do.

Is there anywhere in the uk that sells them? I found one in the US for $1462, which works out at £905 before all the taxes and shipping etc. I can see that figure getting much higher. Are they for sale over here at that sort of price? I need a new engine, but if i buy another second hand one, how do i know how good it is? Also, i plan to push a bit of power, so its best to do it right first time. Ive got a good engine in my breaker, but i could sell that as a good running engine to go towards the cost of a rebuild, and why use that engine to want uprated parts soon anyway...

I had a battery drain of 0.21 amps and traced it to the interior light. I have been doing stuff to the car and left the drivers door open for a few days, but i switched off the interior light thinking everything would be ok. How wrong i was, with the door open and interior light switched off its 0.21 and with the door closed its 0.04, im surprired by this simply because the bulb is not lit regardless of the door being open or closed.

Hi Chaps, I might be needing a new pair of discs for my K-sport 330mm front kit. Replacements are looking very expensive, just wondering if anyone knows of a common disc replacement from another car? Cheers...:thumbup:

Anyone got pics of the wide body fuel cap install im a little confused. Also did everyone take out the fuel pipe to cut it at the neck, just looks a pita to remove. And the ali funnel does that mount to the backside of the fibreglass arch. Thanks

Hi im thinking of putting a turbo engine into a n/a car is there any thing else i should change apart from the ecu?:stupid: any advise would be great. Many thanks paul
