Been busy getting the car ready for Silverstone tomorrow and JAE next weekend, thought i'd better get some pics up so you can see the new improved body mods that have been done, plus the work to the sills. Fitted Bomex front bumper and even rarer Border rear spoiler. Rear perspex strip to be fitted as soon as it arrives and also the grill mesh, but have to say im rather pleased with how she's looking now. cheerz Chris

Hi guys, anyone know the standard size? I can't just go measure, as mine's in for paint. Want to order some nice shiny new ones :thumbup: Cheers.

Hi Chaps, just after some information on Kakimoto exhaust systems for our cars. Is this manufacturer a good one? Are they supposed to be top dollar stuff? Any opinions welcome:)

Since getting car back i had no.power to stereo. I remember a blue live cable running frm battery to stereo before car went in and decided to hook it back up. Had power.for 5 mins but since then.....nothing. i have changed fuse on stereo and the fuse in drivers footwell but still no luck :(

Was going southbound, had a high level spouler and 6 pot rear lights. Looked really nice from what I could see over the central reservation.

hi all, my brother is doing all the work on my z hes now come round to installing my subframe bushes. hes removed the old ones keeping the metal lip at the bottom of the bush. he now saying he cant fit new ones as there the same size as the gap in the subframe (to tight) also he says theres two little studs that stick out half way down which would tear against the bush if you could force it down?? also what happens with the piece that unattaches from the bush ie it comes in half more or less. any help would be great as i cant wait to hurry up and get my car back on the road:thumbup1:

this may be a bit random or pointless but i was wondering if there is a way on jap import cars to find out when it was first registered in japan. my zx is a h reg 1990 and 1st reg was in 2004 in the uk.

can anybody tell me the bolt length and thread size for the starter motor? its the bottom one I'm missing if that makes a difference. I got my new one fitted but i only had one bolt so its not lined up right and grinds. i think the bolt should sort it though. Steve

can anybody tell me the bolt length and thread size for the starter motor? its the bottom one I'm missing if that makes a difference. I got my new one fitted but i only had one bolt so its not lined up right and grinds like ****. i think the bolt should sort it though. Steve

http://dta-motorsport.com/marktplaats/index.htm Hi Dan or does anyone know if it came to the UK?

well i've just bought a set of the rear subfram bushing collars from the u.s. same as these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270624005429&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT no instructions with them so which way do they fit? i'm guessing the top ones go in with the raised centre (shown in photo) towards the bush and the flat surface to the car body but which way do the bottom ones go in i thought perhaps the way they are shown in the pic but on seeing the collars after they just arrived i'm not so sure

what up homies (lol, its 'street saturday' at my work today) i was wondering if any of the leather restorers you can buy would have any effect on the worn and faded patches of my dark grey leather seats? and if so, could anyone reccomend a good one? its such a shame to have big white patches in them :-( cheers dawgs lol

PASSED:dance: Straight through for the third year in a row not bad for a 18 year old I did replace the front track rod ends before I put it through as they showed signs of wear:thumbdown: As you may not be familiar with mots in Northern Ireland I booked it on line payed £30, at the mot centre for 6 45 in one end out the other in 20 mins. with the new mot took some pics but are a bit dark but you should get the idea.

hey guys, i just bought a load of leather to replace the tweed. im going to start later, just wondering has anyone got any tips or tricks that will save me a load of hassle and fabric and generally make it look more proffessional, thanks in advance, Thanks to those who offered help, i probably will end up bringing the mess round when iv buggered it up, i really fancied this little project myself,

I went to get her MOT'd on Wednesday - everything fine apart from a bit of play in the nearside track rod end, no advisories. Part arrived yesterday - Silverbullet fitted it today, back to MOT tester - All good! Happy man here really considering she is my daily drive. Thanks for your help today Mark (Silverbullet) I would recommend him to anyone needing some work done. Also if you get to go to the garage he uses you can see not 1, not 2 but at least 10 Ferraris - some race spec some just stunning like the testarossa!

hi, i know there are loads of threads about the dreaded auto box but i have to be in work soon - my auto box is a 2nd hand one and working lovely - oil cooler fitted at the same time - it was running great today - stopped for fuel and now will not change out of 2nd - checked oil and seems fine - extremely clean almost transparant with a hint of pink - no codes on diagnostics - can it be a simple blockage or anything other than knackered gearbox - i suppose if this one is dead it will be conversion time anyone got any good options - how much for a rebuild if i remove box etc - any help greatly recieved regards dave

as the title says, ive got my car back and drives pretty smooth. got to 100 easily after engine was warm and i was near home. pulled all the way but when i got to 4th at about 95-100 the car stopped pulling again. its alot bette rthan doing it at 70mph and i know i hardly do that speed. but its still annoying :( im guessing i should try the fuel pump next ? although im still happy to drive and loved the attention on the way home :)

Everyone kept telling me someone is joy riding my car until they realised there was another one which was always parked outside clothing stores ;) Hollings.

:dance: Top banana! Sparky said sommat about it being missing an earth so he soldered something to something and as if by magic, lights appeared lol Sweeeeet Now we can go out night driving tomorrow, yippee! Oh and Marc fitted the clear side repeaters today, they look great too.

Ok darren at D2 said that my WOT issue seemed to have disappeared which makes me wonder if the Autobox was slipping under high revs at high speed in ever 3rd or 4th gear. Darren also told me that someone removed the bleed pipes or something when they put in boost jets and so the standard waste-gate management dont work properly so i am in safety boost all the time. He said that its pointless putting it back in as i have ordered a boost controller. so my question is..... can i install the Blitz dual SBC myself so i can get to 0.9 PSI soonish ? :)

people with a full unorthadox underdrive pulley set. anybody noticed that on a tt with removed hicas and a non turbo pas pump the belt for the pas pump is miss aligned with the crank pulley?
