Can anyone recomend a positive battery terminal that I can connect 3-4 cables of differing size to? I have had a couple that display the battery voltage but they don't fit properly and pop of!

my local place charges £295 for a standard re-map. just wanting to know how that compares to other prices, and if its really worth it? what benifits does it really hold?

Hi guys, im just about to swap my original bose headunit, but i know the wiring colours are different for the bose set up(i have the bose speakers with individual amps for each speaker) than they are for the other factory fitted headunits.

Hi folks, Gave the car a bit of extra TLC on the weekend. Have taken the advice of another forum member (Damo) and invested in some serious car cleaning kit. It wasn't cheap but then, when you break the cost down per wash, it ain't sooo bad. Wish I could post some pics, but unfortunately you can't see the detail, so it would just be more photos of my car, which still looks the same - black etc. Anyway, I was a little sceptical about how much of an improvement all the kit would make, but I have been totally blown away. I'm seriously considering whether I need a respray now, it really is that good! As I'm sure a lot of people know black paint is just an arse…

Well, my first real drive completed without any hiccups! After the coolants leaks, pas leaks, vacuum leaks (caused by the garage whilst attempting to fix the pas, with another minor one I still need to find), safety boost (put the resistor back in and its gone!), wrong sized tyres (previous owner and I had them replaced like for like without checking!), broken sill (jacked up too close to the rear wheel and it sank - still to fix) I was 'forced' to use the zed for my work commute - and it made it! I was very cautious, nervous and slow for the first half of the journey given that the car hasn't done more than 20 miles straight since I bought it, b…

hi all just looking at fitting my eibach springs/stock shocks set up, do i need to fit adjustable front and rear camber arms with these?

Sunday 1st August. I was in lane 1, you were in lane 3. Sorry, would've joined you for a laugh, but don't know the area and was making for Dorking. Wierd, it was for all the world like looking in a shop window, ('cept you've got nicer wheels!). So, you from around those parts?

high rear spoiler, just south of Birmingham. I was northbound. o/

The only identifying marks/names on my aftermarket jap import exhaust is "burnout"?! When I try a search the only info I find is of cars doing burnouts :oops: Has anyone heard of this manufacturer? Thanks in advance.

My speedo has packed up in my jap n/a. Odometer still working. Still nothing when chip removed (back to kmph). Reckon speedo head must be knackered ?? I have found a British instrument set that came out of a TT. Will that go straight in and read right without the chip ? do I still need the chip to delimit ? Thanks a lot .:helpsmilie:

Was suprised to know about if i pull 1 click on me handbrake it hardens the rear shocks on a uk spec, love to know how that works, couldnt find it in my book either, got to be there somewhere

I bought some used nismo 555's. Id like to test them before installing them. Whats the correct way/readings to test with a meter. Thanks

Nice to meet you both Big thank you to Santa as always, my son was dissapointed that you didnt have your red coat on. Cant thank you enough. Good luck Andy P with all JJ

I have fitted an AMS rad to my car. Do i need to re fit the expansion tank as it is cracked and don't want to fit one if i don't have to. The car has been left to run on the drive but has never been driven on the road and does not over heat. http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_526&products_id=2454

Hi All I'm new here so hope you don't mind me pitching straight in with a question but I recently bought a 300ZX and I have found the performance to be adequate but a little less than I was expecting! The engine runs fine, no smoking or misfiring but she does seems a little bit slower than I would have expected from a 3ltr V6 twin turbo which has a reputation for going like sh*t off a shovel! Can any one suggest things I can check out - maybe a turbo problem? Thanks in advance MickLaw

Hey folks im getting ready to put my shell in for a respray in black and i have quite decided what to do with the rear of the tailgate. The OEM spoiler has been removed and ive been throwing a few ideas about. Do i go with smoothing it down and fitting a perspex panel on its own, fitting a tailgate skin, or something else or a combination of the other two. Comments and pics appreciated please. Marty

got home from work on friday night and parked outside my house didn't go out all day saturday, went out this morning to find a dent behind the drivers door, presumably someone drove into it. whats really anoying is they would have had to drive down the pavement and then swing in to my car no note left, neighbours didn't see anything :(

red zed on blackheath saturday @ 5pm was parked outside what i imagine are flats. looked standard car but i could only see vaguely as was driving on a parallel road
