Some yesterday mentioned to me to use slick 50 for the gearbox. Is this the proper stuff to use or dosent it matter?

I'm in a bit of a dilemma and would really appreciate your advice. I currently own a Z32 NA manual, which I've had for almost a year. The car is very clean, drives very well and in fact has just passed its MOT with no issues. Ever since I bought the car, I have always wished that it was a Twin Turbo and more importantly, red (it's white). All year, I've mused getting it re-sprayed etc. but didn't bother on the basis that it simply isn't cost-effective. I had therefore made up my mind that as soon as it passed its MOT, I would sell it and then look for a clean RED Twin Turbo. The problem is that each time I drive it, I'm reminded of how clean,…

My lass spotted you around half 7 coming up towards Manchester... "It was black and like yours" so sorry no more details!

As above, i need to know as i bought some new 55W HIDs from Hong Kong, and one of the ballasts is not working properly. Thanks in advance Paul

Hello guys I'm right in the process of putting the new set of kyb agx on my zed. Problem is that i found, on the rear shocks on top, 2 grey electrical thingies that i have searched on forum and read that they stifen suspension with 1 click of hand brake. So now? The new kyb agx dont have this... sould i only leave them pluged but not in place? Any problem may come from that? Thanks!

Ive been working out, how much i need to save to get my zed where i want it.Everything is sorted but i need New rear spolier and skirts, a bit of work to the rear arches, and some tlc on the interior leather seats, and im done. I reckon £1500 - £2000 will sort it, this will include any labour and spraying? How much do you guys need to finish it.....

And it failed big time :hammer: Rear position lamp(s) not in good working order (function impared) - (they are spray tinted) Front (both sides) Headlamp aim too high Rear fog lamp switch missing - (didn't bother to ask where it was) Centre (joint) exhaust has a major leak Exhaust emits dense blue smoke at idle (PCV Valves ?) Exhaust emits dense blue smoke during acceloration (turbo's ?) Offside front brake pads less than 1.5mm think (were 5mm 4 weeks ago) Offside front brake binding Front brakes imbalanced (28% difference) :gun_bandana: They put on the bottom that if I left it at the station and had the work done within 10 days I wou…

Last week, when it was hot I tried my aircon but it was rubbish, just as I thought it was as I have tried it briefly previously. :no: I said on Friday to my local garage how much for re-gassing, they replied £45.00. I thought that cannot be right too cheap!!!! :mellow: I went across this morning and as they were not busy they said bring it over, so I did at noon. About 2.30pm I went across to see what was going on and I had R2D2 with a pipe drawing the remnants of the old gas out and then it pumped some fresh in!!!!!! :thumbup: at least I think that's what they said. I didn't know they did it like this, thought you had to buy canisters. I picked the car up at …

A guy in sudbury suffolk is breaking a 2x2 300zx theres still a quite a few parts left.The car going to the scrappers end of this week so be quick i got a few bits of it on sunday . http://www.driftworks.com/forum/parts-sale-private-sales/114904-300zx-tt-parts.html

My HID's are really dim, infact bloody awful. Its a recent kit so not that old, not that it means much but all the info etc. Basically when i switch them on they do flash quite brightly but then go alot dimmer, which makes driving difficult. Also weirdly, the speedo in the car jumps to 60-80-100mph or something like that when I turn them on, is it possible its an earthing issue? I seem to remember the HID's in my last 300zx were better, also the speedo didnt jump either! But maybe I hav rose tinted glasses as vs my astra or my M3 300zx lights are poor whatever.

Hi, All my car needs now to pass MOT is a headlight bulb....... yes thats right,, Unfortunatly Nationwide Auto centre + Plymouths Nissan main dealership are unable to tell what bulb it needs, they thought it was some super expensive ultra low gas, something or other???? Quoted £95 for the one. But they were wrong. The Headlights dont seem to be modified in any way,( no HID kit/extra wires or anything). Ill pop down to the garage and get a picture to put up. Has anyone else encounterd anything like this???? Please help....... Im so close to being able to drive my 1st Z

right my zed is still in many pieces and wont becoming back on the road for a few months, so im doing some wait saving whilst i change my turbos, i've remover the air con radiator/ pump/ pulley/ and 90% of the hoses, (didn't realise how heavy it is!!!) and i found the air con electric fan located between the oil cooler (or gearbox fluid cooler in some) and the water radiator now heres the question how does the fan work? i have 3 wires coming out of it and i want to attach it to a switch(or direct to the ignition) so i can bin the viscous fan any other suggestions for weight saving? (spare is gone), so is most of the boot... but i want to leave the in…

It turns out that if I want to put my new wheels on, the centreline is extended by 10mm all round. Is there anything one can do to bring the centreline back in as it should be, or is it just better to get the right frigging offsets!!! :lol:

I just back from States and bought over a 99 spec tail lights (was no room for centre panel in luggage sadly :( next time maybe) so here is few pic during and after installation..

I've installed about 10 CD players in different cars and don't bother with adapters as I'm comfortable with wiring etc. and found a wee alpine CD player as my car had some shoddy Ford Transit-special JVC junk installed. Anyway I had spliced all the wires after cross-referencing and cross checking them and had the CD player sat by the gearstick to test it worked before reassembling etc. The arial shoots up. Hmmmm :helpsmilie: I have a look again to check I haven't done anything dodgy.. I put it into 2nd ign. and hold power down. No joy! I jump down and check the fuse box, nothing gone there, the fuse on the back of the CD player was also fi…

Yep its coming close to the time when I need to say "goodbye" to my 1995 Version S SWB NA man Slicktop. My new slicktop is approaching completion and I cant really justify keeping this one. So today i have been refreshing the back brakes ready for an MOT later in the week hopefully!:innocent: Then it will be time to put up an advert. I bought this car in nov 2007 from the importer in Birmingham. It was a new import in Oct 2007. I am the only UK driver. It was registered in the dealers name then transferred to me. In the past several members expressed an interest in owning this car so now its coming for anyone interested... Advert to follow soon with full sp…

Hi all, I had to break open my wiring loom in the engine bay to trace a short, and found that many of the wires were hardened and cracked. I was replacing a few broken connectors when I discovered that the Det sensor plug (Det sensor side) has only one wire and that the small black wire has snapped or been snipped???, leaving only a small amount of wire left on the plug. Tracing the wire down as far as I could see, I couldn't find any trace of the remains of the wire that should connect to the plug . Does this wire send a negative signal back to the ECU? Is it essential (small black wire), could it of been left like that on purpose? If it does need r…
