Can you overhaul the front calipers without fitting a new seal kit? i.e. re-use the originals?

Hi, Who had a ZX in green with cream interior who sold it recently for 8K or 9K it was in a mag article as well, Any ideas, Oh, i think he lived in Scotland Thx

Or as they are correctly called, 'direct fire coils, on fire, in the engine bay'. This phenomenon occurred whilst I was driving last night, accompanied by an acrid smell of burning plastic and was preempted by running on 5 cylinders. Be warned! I have (had) all new connectors, it appears there must have been an internal short or something. Not much left of the coil pack but at least I could light my fag without getting my lighter out whilst I contemplated how to extinguish it :-\. As it turned out a 'birthday cake' blow was enough to put it out. Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone got a spare connector they would care to sell me please? Cheers H

Hi, Is there a step by step guide on here explaining how to get to the rear speakers, i.e. by removing the minimum number of things? Had a look but can't seem to find anything. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

At first i thought it was Tony B, but then i realised he moved back up north. It was a Green LWB with some really nice sounding exhausts, had a A piller with Gauges in and 99 Spec rear lights with the table top Spoiler. His reg started with TIL. This was near the Hilton Hotel on the dual carriage way behind if it you get what i mean.

when car is cold it doesnt want to tick over it just cuts out but starts up straight away but when warm doesnt cut out any1 help also need 2 wire throttle sensor

can someone recommend some speakers that fit in the doors? Some wally fitted in 6x9's before i bought it and they are too deep and hardly seat in properly? not too worried about rear speakers as i dont think they are too bad, i think the front could do with an upgrade though

As above i can get hold of some MDF really easily via family but can anyone recommend where to get the rest of the materials? i'm guessing i need some sort of carpet some glue or staples? i will also be putting in a LED 300zx logo that lights up in the boot area at night just for myself so i can have a bit of fun. I have a few ideas and designs, some tacky and some quite good but basically i am wishing to get either an LED strip and design it into a funky 300zx logo on the boot floor or cut it into the floor. gonna try some ideas out and see if it ends up too tacky!

I'm still waiting on confirmation that SPL have now recieved their most recent batch of SPL V5 tie rod ends, however....... could somebody clarify something for me? SPL offer two types of 'inner' a) OEM inner and b) TEIN Z33 inner We offer 2 types of inner tie rods for use with our outer tie rod ends, please select the correct one for your application: For drift use: Tein Z33 inner tie rods.

Just a quick question, is there a simple diagram of how the turbo's and pipes etc should be on a standard 300 tt UK spec car please.

i recently got some wheels off ebay that a guy was selling off his z32 they came with small spacers to get past the front top suspension knuckle but they still wont fit ova my calipers.. was thinking he may have had an n/a model which could have had smaller brakes... any ideas

Anyone happen to know the nut thread sizes for these nuts on the front top arm? I want to replace the nuts as the oem ones are a bit long and bind on the aftermarket arm due to the amount of lowering. these are the ones in question:

Just clicked over my 1st 1000miles in my Zed tonight :clap: Not a massive milestone, but a sweet one. Finished upgrading my stereo and speakers so went for a drive, reached the milestone whilst the ipod had chosen to play a set a mate of mine did in Ibiza a couple of summers ago. Life is all good in my hood :thumbup:

Well, i've had my stock bumper modified. had Car mad vents put in with ultra bright LED's for sidelights at the back of them then had them blended in with the front bumper. Spent a lot of time and money and i have to Admit................i'm not that keen on it. :( Might have looked better on a darker colour car like black maybe. It's grown on me since i first seen it but i may still be in the market for a new one. Perhaps 99 spec. At least this is a custom one off bumper though that no one else will have. Peter

I got a young lad who works at a specialised VW garage to change the pads and discs on the zed today. He does all the work on my Scirocco. I was running a session at the local sports centre and on my way back to the centre i buzzed him to see if he had done the car, he had and came to meet me at the sports centre. He got out of the car with a glint in his eye, and i quote "...f**k me Paul, I have got to get me one of these..... I mean i've been in some fast cars , but that just takes the p*ss..." It was at that point that i pointed out to him that she was still in lazyboy mode, i.e. overdrive not on and not in power mode. He then said that he would do any m…

black z parked up in the circle danderhall.

todays job was to remove the water temp sensors and give them a good clean up . the connecters were shot and full of crap . the wiring was very hard and brittle so i cut it back about 3 inches . the core of the wire was still nice and supple so just crimped in a new section and replaced the original plugs with insulated spade connecters . ive now got nice clean rock solid connections on both senders .i just put a blob of silicon on top of the spades to keep everything nice and water tight . cost of job was about £1 . a very easy mod and im pretty sure this is gonna be a big help in getting her running nice and smooth.
