HI all, does the original spoiler come in different variations. I have seen pictures where it appears to cover the black tinted plastic on the boot and pictures where this is still visible. Are there 2 types of spoiler or is it just a case that this piece of tinted perspex is simply painted the same colour as the car in some earlier models? Cheers Peter

Well, got fed up with the water in my exhaust today, and took drastic measures. headed off down halfrauds and got my self some liquid metal. Got back to the car and jacked up the back end. whooped my drill out and set about drilling a 2mm hole in the back of the back boxes (standard exhaust) as the bolts on my exhaust are that old they are practically welded together with the rest of the join. So first back box. went through it, soon as i pierced it. water started pouring out. so grabbed a empty fanta 1.5l bottle and placed it to collect the water that was now emptying its self from the box. One side down, onto the next, again 2mm drill bit. and through it…

The other half had a very nice MX-5 before the baby come along, anyway I still get email from this place and founds this. http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/product_info.php/products_id/1687

was about to raise car off ground and neighbours were all saying "shouldnt have a car on 4 axle stands" "you need to have a ramp on one end". problem is gearbox dont work properly and i refuse to run my car with its broken water hoses.... there is no way i can push the rear of the car up ramp to get 18" clearance for the front to take out gearbox :( any advice? i thought i was ready but i dont have a ramp and not sure what to do now :(

so my TT fuel pump arrived today, looks just like the NA one, theres still some confusion as to what i need to replace, (3rd wire) do i need a TT fuel loom? iv got the TT fuel ecu, and main ecu - took some pics of my current setup (wires and plugs)

Does anyone have any pics of a Zed on 19s with standard ride hight? finally got some 19s but dont want to waste time fitting without lowered suspension if its going to look like an off-roader

I was looking at an auction site in Japan last night as I was thinking that it would be fun to buy a late model Zed. I've imported over 10 before... but that was over 5 years ago. Was I reading it wrong, or are prices pretty darn high? Rightfully so! ;) especially on the 1998, 99 Specs etc. What's the verdict? just cheaper, easier to find a good one over here?

Saw my first Z today (haven't seen one while I've actually been in mine). Silver parked in a layby outside Buckingham, gave you a beep as I went by :)

Usually tax it from the months of May through September....but, I've looked outside, seen the weather forecast....looks like our 2 weeks worth of summer is due right at this moment!! Kinda itching to drive it! Just a battery to buy as mine is now 5 years old and has expired!

about 5:50 pm this evening parked up by maccy d's who are you dod do do do. (csi i know im sad!!)

saw a yellow tt in pokesdown at approx 7pm tonight. was it you phil?

I passed and he didnt even get any advisories... :boat:

Now there is nothing that would make me dismantle my air con on my zed as its a vital when stuck in traffic in mid july...even the promise of 800 bhp would not make me lose it:cool2: so my question is who has it and who does not and for what reason on both counts?? Poll added so please tick your choice.

Anyone dealt with this Seller on ebay? as it looks like i may as well just recondition the turbos my self, and get them balanced separately

Hi- Just wondered if there are any Merc mechanics on, I need to replace the fuel tank in a 98 E240 Est. petrol. Does the saloon tank fit? can I use a CDI tank (with mods?) any assistance would be welcome

Next month I will be sorting out the bodywork on my new Z and the finish I want is exactly the same as the following picture. I know its the 99 spec rear spoiler, but also I think I need to buy the perspex strip below it along with the 'Nissan Fairlady Z' and 'Twin Turbo' decals. I seen the perspex strip on that very site, but its only listed as 'without brake light'. Now - I have a high level brake light so does this mean I lose it? Or can I source a perspex strip with an insert for the light? Also, does anyone know where I can source that exact fairlady Z decal to finish off the strip and also the twin turbo decal for the other end? Hope you g…

Hi Guys Plan on fitting chromed Power steering reservoir, thought good opportunity to drain and replace power steering fluid. Whats the best method? Thought about removing one of the pipes on the steering rack and letting it drain out, will this drain the Hicas as well? Whats the best process to do all this, are there any gaskets/seals i will need to complete? Can i use power steering pump to pump the fluid out for me and will this drain HIcas, will it blow it out too quickly, can the motor run without fluid as it drains? All advice appreciated Regards Kev
