Hi........is it possible............. to have an ordenary seat put on an electric rail set up for sliding back and forward etc, ovioulsy i assume you wont be able to adjust the seat tipping forward and back but this can still be done manually. Just wondering out of curiosity really as i would try and do this if possible.

Seem to still have an issue where as my steering gets so haevy [usualy when trying to park] that its like the car has stalled!!! Replaced solinoid on rack drain flushed system twice looked threw search and there is a mention of a ecu for steering ....so thought i would ask:tt2: Dave

hi guys, im looking at an 1993 uk 300zx tt auto. its done 125000 miles on stock turbos. its had a new engine put on it on october of last year, fitted by zedworld. original service book with 17 stamps and the sills have been done by zedworld too. my question is how long can stock turbos last? and how much do u think said car is worth? by the way it has series 3 spoiler and 99 spec rear lights too. cheers

Has anyone got any pictures of the fuel tank? I'm looking for the locations of the rubber pads that are stuck on it as I need to put mine back on after spraying. I accidentally deleted the ones I took :blush:

as the title suggests, as i want to buy a silver bumper. thanks in advance simon.

im toying with the idea of buying a new loom for the zed . the alternative is to replace the coil pack connectors and injector connectors and gradually work through the others . can the loom be replaced with the engine in or will it need to be pulled . if i can do it with the engine in then the new loom is gonna be the way to go . has anyone done this as any advice will be much appreciated . cheers in advance

went to steve at fc tuning a few months back to get the car mapped, unfortunately after mapping i discovered my turbos were knackered so have now replaced them with brand new recon units and will be going back for another mapping session to see what it will do, tha max flywheel bhp was 422bhp and the max torque was 450ftlbs. everything engine wise is standard, standard engine, turbos and injectors :) here is a video http://fctuning.com/fctwp/?p=675

Saw you today :) White LWB on a 95 with some sort of bodykit (not feeling it if im honest!) I get the impression it was an NA due to being despoilered and also by the exhausts but i could be wrong.

Hi my front splitter on bottom of bumper is quite damaged and looks like fibreglass. Id like to change this, does this part unbolt, so i can change it, or a aftermarket one available? cheers

Does anyone know of any good ones that aren't going to bleed me dry? I don't mind travelling but would prefer someone in the northeast if possible. I will be providing all of the leather etc so I just need it physically putting in the car. Can any one help?

got a quote in rayleigh to sand my plenum in the places i cant reach with a bead blaster. Said he will do it for £20 however looking at the web gives me mixed results. Moost places say Bead blasting wont smooth any areas as it is not harsh enough :( can anyone comment if this is true or not and wether there is any other thing i can do or pay for to do the smoothing of the plenum ready for me to polish?

Im looking at overhauling the front brakes with new pads and disks and new seals on the calipers. Where is best to get the repair kit? and will i need new pistons? Also what is a good set of disks and pads with out breaking the bank. Thanks

While being my usual cack handed self I managed to put a brass brush on my grinder through a wire on my fuel pump. :oops: The wire I broke is the float connection (red arrows point to the connections). It looks like its a simple job to solder a new wire in place. However, as its going to be sitting in/near petrol I'm a little bit worried that I might inadvertently create a massive fuel bomb, which would be a bit of a downer :no: So should I just replace the wire or replace the whole pump?

I've got a set of fully working stock z32 brake calipers and want to sell them to recoup some other costs for the car. I think I remember hearing/reading somewhere that the 200sx boys use our calipers as upgrades for their cars....is this right?? Couldn't find anything to prove this on the net and sxoc doesn't seem to have a members for sale section?? Anyone have any idea how much they would/should go for? They come with pretty new ebc red stuff pads all around.... ...haven't put up a for sale thread on here or anywhere else yet, just trying to decide what to do with them. Cheers

I need these sizes please, im pretty sure the oil tree is 1/8npt which isnt really big enough to fit the Accusump. Oil cooler pipes may be big enough but will require a check valve. Anyone happen to know if theres a 1/2npt thread port in the oil system on a z32?

Hi, recently brought a n/a fairlady z, 1994 model which was just converted to manual from auto. Just wondering if the previous owner changed the ecu to a manual one, or if the auto engine ecu will work one as it is, Just looking at chips for the ecu and they clearly state manual or auto. cheers for help, ill try get some numbers from old ecu today

Hey all my engine check light has started to flicker not as in a fault code flash but more like a raver flicker ! Any ideas? Car is running fine tho :)

SORRY I MEAN BHP ok, now im getting my car back on the road next tuesday im looking at cleaning the car up inside the car and inside the engine bay. looking to remove the engine next year and make engine and bay look pretty and upgrade a few parts should i get hold of parts seperately or get the Z1 powerpack from the US? if i get parts seperatly what should i get? i'm guessing, New Loom, boost controller, Twin exhaust (decatted), Injectors,? will i need pistons and Cometic Gasket? trying to gauge what i need to loan next year to get a decent upgrade

I've got a 1989 jspec TT and wanted to change the front and rear speakers. I've looked at a few threads and it seems that 6.5 inch speakers should fit in the doors. I wanted to check if this is definately the case as I've measured the cover and it's only 8"x5.5". I didn't want to take the door trim off till i'd ordered and got the new ones. Thanks in advance.

What the best substance to remove all the green corrosion from the conectors, some are really bad like injector plugs? cheers James

been a bit busy today and started doing my plenum as i couldnt find no-one else who would do the work (even offered good money) i can see why no one else wants to do it though but here are some pics so far.......... as you can see i still got lots to do and still got to use paper with more grit than 240. (got various grades up to 1200) but i am excited that it is coming together :)
