Outside lane and motoring:wink: Looked like it could have been heading Tamworth direction? Zed World maybe?

I'm not selling or arranging any sales here but just thought I'd post in case anyone is looking for parts for an pre-87 z31. A guy pulled up next to me when I was driving my z31 the other day to ask if I was looking for parts as he had one in his scrap yard in Irvine, I took a run out to see it yesterday because I'm looking for some headlights and it turned out to be an early one (mine is a facelift and headlights are different size so no good for me). Most parts still seemed to be there and the boot was full of bits n bobs including what appeared to be a pair of newish looking coilovers. I'm not selling or advertising on their behalf but if anyone is in need …

For my Bayside blue Slicktop : (excuse my dodgy photochopping) Polished Rim/Dish with : 1. Polished Centre 2. Silver Centre 3. Grey/Gunmeal Centre 4. Other (no, Im not serious about the blue centre...but welcome suggestions) ??

Getting my coilovers fitted as we speak along with adjustable tension rods and adjustable front camber arms... Hopefully should make a world of difference. THen getting my ebc setup properly tonight so cannot wait. Car is going to be sooo much better i hope! Really excited!

Sorry, I feel like I'm hogging this forum, (I'm a little paranoid!), but......... Since having had the cambelt/thermostat/water pump done at Zedworld a little over a week ago, the car has behaved impecably. However on Friday I took it on a longish drive up to the in-laws in Buckinghamshire. Other than the slight vibration at motorway speeds the car was a joy to drive and made overtaking up the A420 and A41 past slower moving traffic a walk in the park. Big smiles!! :) Anyway, I got stuck in traffic in Aylesbury. It a very hot day and up till then I was over the moon that the temperature guage hadn't moved any further than the perfectly horizontal position i…

Is this job as easy as it looks?? Other than pressing the old bushes out and new bushes in are there any problems doing this jobs. 3 bolts per side? Any advise gratefully received!:)

bubble effect paint on the bottom of the car any1 know whats its called or who sells it.... :thumbup:

hi guys is this easy, all i can see is two rusty nuts on the inner part edge of the boot, do i have to take off all the trimming, thank you jj

Just found this, hope it's not a repost.. but IMO, Probably one of the nicest Z's out there, wheel choice not great, although they are Enkeis.. but still.. hope someone on here has bought it, a real stunner of a car. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1832925.htm

Hi everyone! Yesterday as I pulled away from a traffic light I`ve heard and felt a noise apparently from the rear of the car. This noise happens only in first and sometimes second gear and feels like driving on stones.... Three maybe four times "knock knock, knock" and than everything normal... Tomorrow I`m gonna have it checked but I was wondering if any of you guys could tell me what to look for. One more thing...before that to happen I was driving the car quite hard but that`s not the first time....so I`m thinking that my problem could come from suspension, springs... Would that be possible? Thank you.

What's going on here lol, I've seen it on a few Z's in pics so I know it's not just me, the rear light centrepanel is out of line where it meets the driverside lens. It sticks out towards the rear about 2mm and really is beginning to cheese me off, I've tried removing the seal from behind, tightening up the nuts further nothing budges it! It can push in fine by hand but can't be tightened into place.. am I missing something simple?

Looking for some guidance from anyone who has these fitted. What have you done with the stock ducts and undertray as these are too small for the Pace's? I have a 99 spec bumper and am trying to figure out how to maximise the air flow to the I/C's. Obviously the ducts are beneficial in directing the incoming air but are they entirely necessary or will the inlets on my bumper be sufficient? If possible, want to try and avoid fabricating new ducts. Cheers

Spent the afternoon fitting the K-Sport 330mm front kit with DS2500 pads. Just thought I'd pop my thoughts down to help anyone considering them. The kit is absolutely top notch. The calipers and discs are top draw stuff! The brackets are very very well made and I have NO concerns over strength. The pads are so easy to fit, the bolts etc all spot on. Instructions are typically poor, but the job is very easy to figure out. Small let down in the shape of the supplied hoses. Only one line lock and made of rubber only, like a grommet. Couldn't or wouldn't get on with those so used my old braided hoses and adapted the caliper connection. Absolutely no need to r…

Hi, Can pearlescent white paint, the type used on my import, be sourced in the UK? Thanks.

Any ideas what a true valuation for my car would be once it is finished for insurance purposes to try to get an agreed value? Have many people got agreed values on here? For those that dont know its a series 2 '93 UK manual TT Having it fully restored & resprayed. Any thoughts?

Love the decals on this :thumbup: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-24-Tamiya-Nissan-300-ZX-Plastic-Car-model-/110557732751?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_ToysGames_ModelKits_ModelKits_JN&hash=item19bdc11f8f Anybody got lifesize for my car :blink:

Hello folks! As some of you knows, I want to buy a Z I had one before but I can't tell anything about it as I had it for a very short time. My Q is, which one will be better for me, n/a or TT? I need a car that is reliable and reasonably cheap in maintenance as I'm 20yrs old and my sallary is around 1200/1400 per month. I'm saving around 6oo/65o/7oo quid every month. Don't talk about insurance as I know it's mega expensive that's why It will be insured for my parent, How much do you spend for your Z every month ? [stock car, without mods] Sorry for my English guys, It's not perfect but I hope you understand what I mean, thanks Thanks…

Which 2 wires is it that you sometimes need to switch around so that the ariel only comes up when the radio is on? Thanks lee

hi all just a quick one on my j spec i noticed there is extra wiring on the headlights dip beam they have taken the headlight feed from the passenger side fed it to a fet relay which then goes through 2 fuses (one for each side) then to the headlamps anyone one got any idea why this is added/what it's for? noticed my mates jspec also had this added

Its a 1990 manual twin turbo. i get a little noise in 2nd and 4th, it sounds like its wearing somthing in the box. just had the box out to replace the clutch so not looking foreward to doing it again. i didn't notice the noise at first because there was a horrible whirring sound from the fan on the interiour light, after changing the clutch and sorting out the fan noise i then discovered the gear box noise. its not to loud, but very distinktive in 2nd and 4th only. gear box oil was topped up when the clutch was changed so i don't think its that. any help would be greatly appriceated.
