just skimmed my R33 skyline disks in work they are to within 0.02mm on the lathe so there quit true, now when i fitted the passenger side the disk was missaligned against the hub and got trapped in the caliper, so when i bolted up the caliper with the extension brackets it has pulled my disk over :hammer::hammer: when i took the zed out for a spin there was huge brake judder even came through the brake pedal!! is it possible i have bent the disk slightly, i know there cast and im lucky it didnt crack :bored: any thoughts gents

i borrowed a brake bleeding kit from a mate to bleed my brakes and non of the adapters fitted, so any1 know a kit that will fit the zed, as in the end i had to do it the old fashioned way and it gets depressing :thumbdown:

Can the headlights be taken out with the bumper on? Also, I recently had the bumper off, and there was one bolt on each light that I just couldn't seem to get to! I'm sure you know which one it is, any tips? Cheers guys...

hi there this car has a lazy lifter it comes and goes , please how can i cure the problem without opening the engine :helpsmilie:

Collecting Zed from the garage tommorow but it still has eratic temperature issues, any ideas what might cause this? I am going to change the water pump (that and the Alternator are original to the old zed engine). It has a Nizmo low temp thermostat in and has a 56mm Rad. And a zirgo 3000 cfm fan. Apparantly they said it will run at a normal temp then jump right up and come down again? They did say that they have had a hard time bleeding the water system as well so im hoping it could be as simple as an air lock? Any help would be appreciated, how can I trace the problem?

I'm jut about to order one from them, but it doesn't mention shipping or duty anywhere, only comes to 15 quid for the panel and invertor, has anyone ordered from them before? what's the crack?

Hi does anyone have or know where theres a write up on removing the series 2 air bag steering wheel? ive done a search on here but found no info for the air bag steering wheel any info greatly appreciated cheers si

a workmate spotted you yesterday. Ferrari rear light conversion as well?

If you don't mind that is. I'm admiring the look of the wheels you have on your car in your signature. The one thing I don't like on my buggy is that the wheels/tyres don't fill the arches properly so I'm considering a new set of feet. Yours is just about bob on in my eyes so can you tell me what dimensions your combo is please? Wheels - Diameter/width/offset Tyres - Width/wall depth. As always, thanks in advance. :thumbup:

....this is pretty good value IMO! I'd consider it if I had the space on my driveway! Nice little project and wouldn't be hard to make nice. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1994-NISSAN-300-ZX-TURBO-MANUAL-WHITE-/230487649536?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item35aa226d00

does anybody no a peter jelf that owns a z?

Since I've had the car it's vibrated noticeably on the motorway. Nothing to do with the road surface. I've just had my wheels balanced at a place that came recommended to me and I have to say, meticulous isn't the word. What a place, and what a nice bunch of guys!! Thy even gave the suspension and brakes a bit of a health check while they were at it and it was dirt cheap too. They even do 4 way alignment if anyone's interested in the Bristol area. (Turns out my car has HICAS. Didn't know that!! DOH!) Anyway, to my point. The vibration, while much better, is still there. Any of you guys got any thoughts on what else it might be? I was thinking prop' bea…

Did anyone from here buy my aftermarket silver headlight panel from ebay on 08/06/2010 ?. If so, when the fook am I going to get paid ??? I just don't understand it. If I win something on ebay as soon as it finished I click the pay now button. Why is it I'm continually left waiting for payment. It's so annoying as you purposly list all your items to finish at the same time to save additional trips to the post office. I've got 4 open cases now for unpaind items, all buyers have more than 50 feedback which why I'm so surprised. I've been left waiting 5 weeks for payment on 6 stock injectors which sold for £28 + £4.70 p&p. 5 weeks !!!!. 6 weeks n…

What do you think will happen to the 300zx Z32 models in say, 20-30 years? I can't picture them being such a special sought after car like the 240z for example, will prices go through the roof, will there be any left on the road, it does make you wonder! I have no plans at all to get rid of mine, but ultimately I want a decent SWB shell to reshell mine into, then it would be easier to fit in the garage lol :yes:

I was just wondering, does anybody know what the average age of a Z32 owner is in the UK?????? and what other cars they drive....... I'm 31 (I think....will have to check with the wife!)

Anyone had any dealings with these bushes , thinking of re-furbing my arms and these you can adjust to alter your camber ????? but how , without pressing them out and re-fitting it again and again until you get the correct camber reading , unless there,s flats on the ends of the bush to get a spanner on and turn them like snail cams , i,m confused :yes::yes: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300zx-Z32-Coupe-Control-Arm-Upper-Inner-Outer-Ec-/370299886554?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item563797dbda

Hey everyone, Do you recon the front bumper support (the bar type thing behind the bumper where the fogs sit) is important if the bumper is an original hard plastic one and not fibre glass?? I'm looking to fit fog air ducts at the front for my side mount, which would mean cutting of the bit on both ends I guess. However, the middle bit of the support is not allowing my bumper to fit on straight. So am thinking to either cut the middle bit off or just remove the whole thing.. If it was a fibre glass bumper then I understand the importance of this but is it the same with proper bumpers??? Also, people with fog ducts, what have you done with your bumper suppo…

saw a red zed driving out of the dockyard and driving into town. i was going out of town in a black zed. dont think you saw me though! anyone here?

Would a Jap TT owner be kind enough to look at their relay/fuse box in the engine bay (passenger side) and tell me the spec/part number of the "sub fan" relay. Called Nissan and was advised they can't help me without the part number as their screen data is in Japanese! http://www.cazracing.com.au/catalog/images/P7270038_edited.JPG Alternatively, if anyone has removed their aircon system and wants to sell their relay, I'd be intersted. Thanks

Hello bud, i just got a car that boasted an ecu from you. I was just wondering if you knew or remembered the car. Its a red swb manual tt and it had a private plate with 555 on it. Would be nice to know more about its background if you did as its supposed to be running 400hp :thumbup1: Thanks Mark

Well most my my stuff came from the US and Zedcentere but I did buy a few bits off ebay. I bought a high flow rad that leaks from new.. what a load of trash. The core has a pin hole leak in it that is in a position that cant be welded. Also the braided hose on there is TRASH some of my fuel hose melted away! what a complete load of *****cks!. Just thought I should mention it, I have had the fuel hoses replaced but now need a new decent rad :wacko:
