what would be the best way to remove light scratches and marks on the clear cover while i have it off the cluster cheers

i have struggled to find out what the figures should be from all the pretty moving guages on my datascan software. can we build a database of figures so we can see if we have a problem or not. at the moment i feel like "all the gear no idea!!!" would be good for figures throughout the rev range something like this:-

Today i was out driving my 1990 Nissan 300zx N/A Auto, all was fine, until i turned the engine off, when i came to turn it back on again some 10 mins later, it would not start, after cranking it over for a good 5 mins, she splutterd into life, i drove down the road and she stalled, i looked at fuel gage, it was reading as empty, so i put some fuel in, and she started, i went to fuel station, turned off, put more fuel in, would not start again, i called for recovery, they came out, couldnt find why it was not starting, then after a good 20 mins of on off cranking, she fired up, not running 100% but started, and ticked over, but whilst ticking over, she sounded like she was…

Well been investigating oil leaks today, and must say i am not 100% sure where it is coming from! So heres some pictures to see if any body got any thoughts on it.

What an absolute biatch slap, fried frickin chicken, lumpy bumpy, sucky wucky, dog suck of a job. :sweatdrop: It has taken me two days... yes two days to fabricate and fit one seat :w00t:. You cant get frames for Recaros that fit the 300zx, so you have to buy universal Recaro frames and then use the supplied steel rods and hardened steel lengths to fit them. I could not in any way use the old 300 frames or runners as they lifted the seats up to high. For two days I have been in the garage like a medieval blacksmith heating steel tougher than diamonds!. Then slowly beating it into shapes or around bars to fit the original mounting points. The stuff is so t…

Spotted you last Saturday while I was on the way to the east coast - I think it was near Kettering way...

Going manual , what are the two switches on the TT clutch pedal for and are they on the auto loom but unused ?? Cheers

I am going to do this amongst other things while the rear trims all out, anyone got any photo's? Need some ideas cos it looks a bit daunting after a quick look last night. :huh: Cheers

The question is in the title, Can you, is there any difference? Cheers, Dave.

Right my car has a Greddy EBC fitted, it works fine ish. Its set to give 0.5 bar on low and 1.0 bar on high, displayed on a defi gauge. No problems there, apart from its quite laggy/no smooth when building boost. The car seems to build 0.5 quickly and then be a bit reluctant to increase up to 1.0 until its at higher revs. By that I mean the increase in boost pressure isnt smooth. Its not a major issue but its something I would like to fix, does anyone have their settings for their EBC written down anywhere so I could try them in mine? Anyway, last night i was driving home and it suddenly dawned on me that I could turn the EBC off so I though, aha i'll see what h…

Hi all, Hopefully after today when Silverbullet has came down to cast his expert eye over my engine build i can start finally fitting the engine at long last. Then im hoping to have the beast completed and out by July which would be nice as its been off the road for around 3 yrs. Fingers crossed Mark doesnt find anything that could set me back! Ill let you know how it goes with a few pics of the finished build if all goes to plan :yes:

Looks like i need a new clutch ex rps max street clutch not very well, so what do you guys recomend? As you know car is running big bhp, but on the other hand i am not using it as an everyday car as people who know me already know:tt2: my week end toy. Did think of just replacing friction plate like for like as clutch plate has loads of meet left on it. ACT 6 puk has been mentioned again any thoughts?? Dave

Hi guys, My gauge in my 94 UK manual TT seems to go to the half way position when I start her up. But I noticed the other day after an hour or so driving it was registering nearly zero. Checked oil all seems ok, in fact I check it about 2 times a week now as I am not sure what is happening. No unusual sounds , no oil on drive, no smoke. Confused.com............

Seen you before, pretty sure your not a member but if you are your a miserable sod! No acknowledgement at all after following you for a few miles and flashing and waving as we went seperate ways!

Hi all, Has anyone heard from or waiting for parts from Redbaron??? Ive not heard from him since the 7th of April and im still waiting for my strut brace to arrive. Has anyone seen or heard from him or know if he is ok? Im waiting for a few parts to be powder coated as well as the strut brace i bought off him. I need to let the guy know when im delivering the parts to him to be coated. Cheers Dan

before i got my new Z i had an S13 200sx, and i used to get it sideways all the time (private roads of course:whistling:)and i know they are really common drift cars, how come you don't here of Z32 being used for drifting, i did find a video with a few drift spec Z's in it, but that was it really, my s13 was a manual running 320RWHP decent suspension and brakes, yet my Z, which is a nearly standard '90 AUTO!! is so much better at drifting then the S13, was wondering if anyone has drifted their Z's, or knows why a Z isn't a good drift car? i've decided to take mine to santa pod in a few weeks to let it lose properly, just wondering how its going to …

Anybody keep in contact with Radron since he sold his Zed? He seemed like a top man when I dealt with him. I was looking for 300kph or Nismo kph clocks at the time, and Radron had a set. Due to taking a serious financial hit at the time, I couldn't proceed and buy them. He actually offered to give them to me for free when he learned of the situation. I couldn't accept his generosity as I'd prefer to pay for the set when my circumstance changed - after all it was me who posted a link looking for them originally. Thankfully my circumstance has changed somewhat. So if anybody has contact details for Radron, please pm me with them. He may still have the clocks.

My dads 300zx recently for some unknown reason has the air con fan turning on when the engine starts. Sometimes its would turn on for a split second and off again numerous amount of times :thumbdown: other times it would be on for a few minutes then turned off. Last time we started the car (last week) the fan didn't run.....so thought must have fixed itself loool but today we started the engine again and straight away the fan started going. :angry: and wouldn't turn off, so my dad just removed the fuse. and yes we made sure the aircon inside was off:tt2: when air con is turned on the car revs a bit more as its should. i'm seriously confused lol

Just want to say I have been in this club for a few months now and would like to thank all the people that have helped me out with parts (Mostly Madmax Thanks bud) advice and a good laugh. When I had my alfa the club was ok but a bit slow and stuffy and the mazda club was a bit clicky. And I hate to say it but I try everyday to log on to see whats going on. One again thanks to all the people that have helped me out over the few months the beer is on me :thumbup:

Hi people, Well, it has been a long time now since i hit that f***ing deer, and with a big help from "apache", "car mad" and "andy300z" (from e-bay), i am almost finished, gonna fit my new modded indicators tomoz. It took alot of tweaking, bending, and moving to get the front end to line up, but i think it looks ok. Will be on the road tomoz for a test drive to make sure no oil leaks and boost leaks. Al.

The girls are away for a bit so my newly primed nose panel is straight in the oven. Once its painted it'll be back in there tomorrow! I wish I had a bigger oven so i could get the new tailgate (thanks Baz) in there! Do the ladies in your lives let you take over the house or are you restricted to the garage? or road? mine is gradually taking over the garden!!! Tom
