how much does the standard TT flywheel weigh?

On German eBay, (Not mine)way too expensive but interesting as I thought I knew all or at least most of the model 300zx´s available, but I never came across one in 1:4 scale. http://cgi.ebay.de/nissan-300zx-1-4-scale-grosse-yankee-/140415238577?cmd=ViewItem&pt=RC_Modellbau&h :)

Hi All, I'm looking to get new shocks and springs all round (also been advised to get polyeurethane bumps too whtever the hell they are) I was going to get 2nd hand ones first off but i'm enquiring about the prices of new ones. i know aftermarket ones can be cheaper but most of those are for lowering the car which i'm not too keen on doing unless i have no choice. Any help and advice is appreciated. Looking for the cheapest i can get. Also, is it worth replacing the bushes at the same time? My car is a J-Spec 1995 auto N/A Cheers Peter

Hi I am thinking of adding the three gauges as the standard ones seem to be so totally inacurate. Anyone out there with three matching 52mm gauges. Not tooooo expensive I hope..lol

Hi all, Was wondering how much braided fuel hose you need to do from the fuel filter to damper and return. Also where would i find a good price on the hose ends (red) as im trying hard to beat the kit prices.:tongue_smilie: cheers:wink:

Ok, I have a UK 94 TT Manual and am considering De catting it as I have been told I may gain a little extra power. Any opinions out there girls and guys.

gents anyone else using brembo 324mm disks with standard calipers and caliper relocation bracket? i have found that my pad is sitting 5mm too high, when i removed the pads there was a 5mm lip around the top where the pad doesnt contact the disk? anyone else have this problem? was thinking of pinning the pads 5mm lower in the caliper by means of a modified pin!

Hi Guys, recently I have fitted a Mongoose quad tip cat back system and although it makes a nice deep rumble when pottering about, the noise it makes at idle is pants quite frankly!!!!:mad2: It is a real deep burble, but not nice at all. Sounds very turbulant & is a pure baffle type noise. The engine is ticking over correctly at the right revs, the car still has the original cats etc. If I raise the revs very slightly with the throttle, the noise is much nicer and you can hear the engine again as apposed to baffling. As anyone else experienced this with this system and is there any way to cure it?? This is not a little moan, the idle note really is crap AT…

Does anybody have a diagram or link for the Drivers side Footwell fuse diagram?? I have seen a link on forum a few months ago but lost it/ karl

Silver Z private plate I think about 5pm on Tuesday by the Ford Dealership heading towards Bridgend

The shock is I don't have any :cowboy: lol Well a bit of surface :detective: Finally got round to dropping the rear sub frame today. I'm really chuffed with the state of the car underneath. Sills are solid, there is a 50p size hole on the N/S side but that has been removed and treated (inside as well) brake pipes are fine with just a bit of surface rust but I will be replacing the worst of them. Strangely the HICAS pipes are really rusted, don't know how these have gone but the brakes are still OK? Not that it matters as I'm ditching them. The rest is just surface rust which I'll be removing and then treating and undersealing the whole back end, ready for my newly …

Spoke to you briefly at the end of the road near the A6 roundabout. Do you live in Bedford? Griff

Hi mate, Will you take 900 cash for it... Kash

I've had this bumper for ages, and decided its time to do 'something' with it. :cowboy: Some Z's I see with scarab bumpers look brilliant (Daz's & Nick's for example), whereas others dont look so good. I think they suit dark colour cars better, which is good as my car is going 'a dark colour' (not decided which yet!) So please air your views whether you think it will look good or not, and help me decide. One plus point is that it'll give me far superior air flow to the intercoolers, but I've also got carbon fog light ducts to go in. The nose panel is another 'unsure' mod. ps. I know its not fitted on properly :whistling:

ok can anyone help with this one, just fitted new door handle on the z tested it all seemed to work ok, shut the door now cant open it locking works off the key and internal lock handle but cant open door on either internal or external handles is there any way to get the door open? door card is part off the door so got limited access
