Hi guys, Was on a website that take pro pics of cars doing the ring. Saw a pic of a grey Z with a high spoiler (L787). If you want a copy of the pic go to http://www.nordschleifenbilder.de Pics are 8 Euro so about 7 quid. Got some really nice cars on the site, new Lexus supercar for example. Worth a look to be honest Laterz, Rob

Last minute as ever but here goes - I think i'm going to get my wheels painted either tomorrow or sunday (got a slot to get them done!) Anyway I dont know what colour to have them done so can we have some suggestions? I was thinking Bronze, but I have had shadow chrome recommended to me a few times. Also, as I'm totally useless with photoshop could someone please help by painting the wheels on the picture good colours so I can choose! Cheers guys! (Not sure which is the best to go from, I dont seem to have a proper side on picture of the car, only my stupid 3/4 ones! LOL)

As title really, i dont know if its just bonded to the boot lid with a couple of bolts either side or if i need to take the inside boot lining out to get to more bolts. I hope its just bonded, i dont want holes in my boot. Thanks Mark

Just back from the MOT station, failed on the two outside ball joints on the Hicas. Ordered these from MJP complete with washers and seals. However I have an advisory on the front steering rack, as there is oil leaking from the gaiters. I am informed that this is probably the seals. do I renew the seals or exchange rack ? Any help most welcome

I'm gonna go and buy a O2 sensor socket, did a search but can't seem to find out if i want 22mm oir 21mm?

Weather looks good this weekend...in France anyway. Haven't taken the Z overseas this year. But fancied it this weekend. Might be the last weekend of decent weather for a while as it's pretty changeable right now. So, driving off to Portsmouth later with an impromptu stop at Madmax's, before taking the overnight ferry to St.Malo. Arrive tomorrow morning around 8.30am, then a nice drive through the Normandy countryside to LeMans to see a friend of mine, will hang out and have dinner with him and his girlfriend, few bars in the evening, then around midday Sunday, take the drive up to Caen and onward to Quistreham to catch the PM ferry back to Portsmouth. Shou…

Anybody else bought the LED conversion reverse/fog lights from zedwizz and the reverse lights dim slightly in sync with the beeper?

Right my car fookin stinks and its not because im sat in it (daz or baz) :lol::lol: would over fueling cause the car to stink of petrol. I have always had a wiff (always run rich) but now the new injectors are in it really does wiff. You cannot smell it on the move only on tick over and when the engine is just switched off. 1st thing in the morning i cannot smell any thing but it takes about 7 carnks for it to fire where as it only took one before Also i get the odd blip every now and again if i floor it so i guess thats to do with over fueling to?? Ive had a good look at everything and cannot see any leaks it just looks to be vapor:huh: any …

Reet, my car is over fuelling, had it on shareware conzult today, and, the left one reads 0.02/0.03v. If i unplug the left one, it reads a constant 0.33v, plug it back in, 0.02/0.03. The right hand one reads 0.06, if i unplug it, nothing changes, what should they be reading? neither of them change at all when revving the engine....

if anyone is a member of DJCC you may have seen i posted up about a dorset based meet getting a few zeds of all ages toghter. i know there are a few of you guys in southampton aswel and obviously its not far, just gauging interest atm please let me know if you would be up for this or you already run one?

Just wanted to confirm how to fit a AFR gauge as the Z has two oxygen sensors. Do i install a manual switch to toggle between the left & right sensor as the gauge only has one signal input? Cheers.

Exhaust noise and leaks can be real annoying but often rarely viewed as dangerous , however as we all know exhaust fumes are extremely poisonous and should not be taken lightly. Essentially any combustion fumes that enter the cabin area can soon become a recipe for disaster especially as it can not always be not detected, and also any exposure is culmative meaning small regular exposure can tot up to a lethal amount let alone headaches and drowsiness. So bearing that in mind take a look at the photo's below, a zed with a very serious exhaust leak at the rear of the turbo elbow. The position if the leak is slightly forward of the bullhead and very close to the …

was seen blitzing passed my brothers focus the other day.

Not sure if this is a re-post, but many not be aware that National Tyres do an oil & filter change for only £26 (if booked online or £29 at the branch). This is for Magnatec semi-synthetic oil + filter + labour. On the basis that the oil is normally £20-25 + £9 for the filter, this is very cheap IMHO.

I'm tempted on going for the viper rear spoiler from ZCentre, but I saw this advert on ebay saying that the fitment and finish on the spoilers supplied by them is crap. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300ZX-Z32-Rear-Spoiler-/140421883107?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20b1cbe4e3 That's a low level spoiler by the looks. I'm going for the viper one potentially. Anybody got any experience? Thanks, David

Where do I get the Nissan fairlady Z stickers for my perspex strip? Matt

i've noticed since owning this new zed, acceleration is far better than the uk spec one i've got (even with stage 1 fitted to that) but i have noticed during decelleration i'm getting popping through the exhaust it's quite regular (every 2 or 3 seconds) just wondering what could be causing this? the car is decatted so no issues with blowing holes in cats etc but i am a little worried about engine damage issues
