I was just wondering (have been for a while now) if it would be possible to run a tablet pc in car instead of a car pc, I am not talking about an Ipad as it would need to be able to run diagnostics and I am not sure whether these could be run on an Ipad. Just a thought any opinion on this from the PC experts?

I can't tell :sweatdrop: :tt2:

Hi, I just purchased some VS side skirts for my 300zx lwb. They are short by about 2.5 to 3 inches. i think they are probably for a SWB or another car. My question is, can somebody with a SWB give me the measurement of the sill :) ZIND

today at around 8:50am grey with nice wheels you drove past my work (WARD VAUXHALL HELSTON) might of been a G reg looked v clean :detective:

I just wondered what people do with their spare wheel. I have 19" wheels on my Z so the space saver is of no use. I have a compressor in case I have a flat but Im unsure if it the law to carry one any info?:helpsmilie:

lookin at my car...yes i could see you driving slowly past. lol

saw a silver zed by pipe hayes park today about 4.30ish with a red targa panel . i thought it was mine being taken for a spin as its in the paint shop again just round the corner. if i hadnt spotted the targa i,d have gone steaming in there and made a complete pratt of myself lol

BAH! SPent good money on what I was told was a hicas momo boss which came of a TT zed. It looks like any other boss but has 2 metal spikes/prongs out the back. After doing some reading it looks like the hicas bosses should have 2 holes so the factory hicas ring can sit nicely in it etc etc. Anyway I fudded up because I had the bright idea of customising the hicas ring to fit the boss by sanding down the plastic protrusions and drilling 2 holes for the metal prongs to go through (since it's just a solid plastic disc which goes round at the same rate as the wheel). Turns out it wasn't such a great idea as when I tighten the nut up it causes some plastic …

Now that I have a new front end I dont want to spoil it with a massive number plate nor do I want to block the air getting in. Does anyone know of anywhere that does the legal special sizes of 350mm x 112mm or 330mm x 140mm (standard uk size is 520mm x 112mm). I've looked online there are places that do them but they insist on putting their name / postcode at the bottom of the plate - then there was demonplates.com who let you choose your slogan at the bottom but not the special size I want! Starting to pull my hair out over this because I want to be back on the road! EDIT: Also is there something you can buy with a numberplate release so that I can remove…

The cambelt on my newly acquired Z was changed back in 2005, 40k miles ago; I know the book says 6 years and 50k miles. I was planning to change it in the autumn, as it needs to be off the road for a good few days for other work to be done. I plan a few longish motorway journeys over the summer perhaps putting 1500 - 2000 miles on the clock. Is it worth taking the chance? This may seem a daft question but is there any warning before it snaps, noise vibration, performance etc.

:helpsmilie: In the glove box there are these electronic boxes- 1 is an apexi AFC and the other is a AVC-R. does anyone have some knowledge of these and how to set the up correctly? searched google and not much info on them as they seem to be old skool many thanks bob :confused1: [ATTACH]54281[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]54282[/ATTACH]

Anyone know how many litres per minute it shifts?

Im in the process of cleaning and overhauling my manual box,(not internals) and ive noticed 1 pipe entry/exit point, a bit like a vac pipe union. ( i have an auto at the minute, hence the question) the box is on a bench in my garage. Is this for an oil cooler? i thought it would have an in and an out. Or is it for a vac line? Does it need to be connected and if so, what too? Any ideas? I will try and get some pics up to show the bit im on about. Much appreciated Graham Pic of pipe

I've removed my radiator to ease the access to my power steering pump. I'll be in a position to refit my radiator sometime this weekend so i'm wondering what kind of coolant i should be using? I've read on previous posts about a 90% coolant - 10% water mix but should i go to Nissan and get their recommended stuff or will any old coolant from a local motor factors do the job?

hi, funnily enough my roof is leaking. i take it is the seals that will prob b shagged?? where is the best place to buy replacments?? cheers damien

Hi all, having a few problems with my new 300zx twin turbo (auto) there is loads of White smoke coming out of passenger side exhaust I have taken turbo pipes off and there is no water in the pipes. It is not loosing much water or oil but turbo doesn't seem to spool up. Does this sound like a goosed turbo? Or could it still be head gasket. It ticks over fine just when you rev engine it pushes out White smoke. Plus can anyone give me the co an co2 levels / percentages at different rpm levels? Thanks for reading this any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Dave

Well I finally bought a deep-dish steering wheel to replace my rather mundane looking Tomei one... Its not fitted yet as the allen key bolt heads in the old wheel are knackered, but I offered it up to the dash - what do you think? I love it :tt1:

I've never had bucket seats in a car before, but I'm teetering on the edge of getting a pair of very nice Bride seats... but they are fixed back. Obviously they can't be reclined or adjusted in the slightest, but I guess they are in the correct position for 'most users' - is that a reasonable way to put it? Has anyone had any fixed back seats before and if so, what did you make to them? thankz guyz :cowboy:

Anyone know anything about Pioneer head units? I've got one that has a blue IP-Bus connector socket on the back. Now the unit I have is a radio cassette and I also have the matching CD/equalizer. Now the CD player plugs into this IP-Bus socket with a blue plug, and I know that the socket is for a CD changer (or in this case a single CD player) Now my question is... on the back of the CD player is another socket identical to the one on the back of the radio and I've found out that the CD specs say that there is IP-Bus in and out (plug = out, socket in) so what I'm wondering is can I plug another attachment into the additional socket on the back of the CD player and the rad…

Hi John, I have owned a nissan 300zx twin turbo in red for over a year now and had major work/ restoration done to it. Basically it has been built to handle 750hp. just over 3 years ago. The engineering company that built it said it perviously had a stand alone apexi in it and an apexi avcr boost controller to run it to 700hp. However the stand alone apxei was removed form the car before it came into my possesion. I noticed under the passenger footwell the ecu has one of your chips in it. The chip states it has been programmed to handle 555cc injectors, stock/cam/turbos./smic *** something intake..and then your name with it. I just wanted to know how much hp can …
