Hi guys, i was wondering if anyone knew if the way i have my number plate is illegal. I wanted to fill the holes that were butchered into my bumper and respray it Ive seen cars with it but i always thought they were just waiting to get pulled over. I dont see the problem as its still on show and can still be easily read. Thanks Mark

Hi guys, im sure you know the thing i mean, the gauge holder from z center. Does anyone know the dimensions of it? is it something like 200 by 50, by 3 thick? Thanks Mark

Hi all, having spent a while replacing the slave cylinder and assoc pipework on my 91 300zxtt I have found that I still have a sliping clutch and am in definite need of a new clutch. Being relatively new to my car I am not confident in undertaking a clutch change. I wondered if anyone can reccommend a garage or individual somewhere in the Kent area who could undertake this kind of work for an affordable price? I am in Ramsgate, Kent but could drive the car carefully a reasonable distance if required, especially if it could be done in a day? If anybody can offer some advice I would be very grateful. Cheers Jay

Hi, I was lucky enough to get a consult at JAE by JeffTT, which when testing we discovered i've got a faulty water stat which was jammed open, also he noticed a knock sensor error when looking at the ecu which after was cleared and it never came back up so we dismissed it - however I purchased a cable to check the sensors myself and it keeps coming up so its likely is at fault. Simple question ! - wheres the cheapest place to buy and were on the engine is the sensor ?

Was taking my zed back to the bodyshop for buffing & finishing off this morning, quick 10 min blast down the A2 from my house - cruised along & opened her up a little - nasty vibration come through the steering, slowed down & eased of a little at first & thought had lost some wheel weights off my new wheels, then got worse & worse. Crap! pulled off asap onto slip road - drivers front tyre flat as fook :thumbdown: Swapped for spacewaster spare - that looked really low, thought I might make my mates bodyshop about 1-2 miles away now. Nope - tyre came straight off the rim after a few hundrew yards! :pinch: Call to my mate at work - luckily…

Afternoon all. I shall be starting on the unenviable task of cleaning up the engine bay later. Is it as straight forward as Gunk and plenty of elbow grease? Or are there any hints, tips or tricks you can advise me of? Not something I'm looking forward to but now the exterior looks mint it really let's the car down under the bonnet. Any advice welcome. Cheers.

The three way black plastic section that sits on top of the spark plugs has these zig zag narrow black plastic bit. Mine are all busted up and the rubber rings that go on the coil packs are perished. Ive put most of the car back together minus these two parts. Are they needed?

Can't blame weather conditions or my driving (honest!). Turning left at a roundabout, familiar with the road, wasn't going fast, didn't gas it as I came off the bend and the car decided to do its best impression of a sidewinder :crying: Scared the bejeezus out of me and Marc and it was so lucky there was no traffic in the outside lane coz the car swirled from one lane to the other before I got control of it again. And then the back end skippet out on me doing 40mph on a straight piece of dual carriageway. Seriously brown trouser moment. Really don't know why it happened. Not sure if perhaps my tyres aren't quite right, but they have always felt ok...... Eeek!
