My centre panel is an EL-Glow panel. So it's I have 99 spec rears now, but they have a silver finish inside the light lense, and the lense glass is alot Clearer. My question is, can I do anything to make my centre panel lenses clearer?.. I know there used to be a guy on ebay who sold lense clearing kits to make your own 99spec lights, but what about the centre panels?.. Will spraying the inside chrome suffice? Please help, Thanks! :D

Any ideas why my after market oil pressure guage isn't working after doing an oil & filter change? The standard oem one is and the after market one was before doing the service???.... Have checked connections and all seems to be ok... Puzzled:huh:

A friend of mine spent a while fitting these to my car today, nice looking kit until you start to try and fit them so I thought I would share our experience through today. First of all the braided lines only come with on grommet/fixing item on to secure them to the car, not a huge issue as we have sorted something similar using some inside out fuel line etc etc (Inspired piece of engineering!) Secondly there is only adjustment in the kit, (via spacers/shims/washes) in one direction, sadly the 300zx brackets really need it in the alternative direction. The result of this is taht you end up with a caliper that doesnt sit in the correct position, the only solutions…

I was in the black z31, you were behind me in a red z32 for a couple of miles all the way from Govan to more or less city centre when I took off after The Quay...and you failed to entertain me by keeping up or wasting me up the inside :wink: Nice front end, that's all I could see in my wing mirror...couldn't see anything out of my rear view mirror thanks to my sagging headliner!! :blushing: and yes it was filthy, only its second run of the year and was treated to a wash later in the afternoon.

I joined this forum after a member of another club I belong to recomended it to me. I was needing a clued up Z Mechanic to look at my newly aquired car as it was running like a bag of spanners and smoking more than Dierdre Barlow! So, after a quick post on here, Jimmer was recomended to me by your good selves and I sent him an email. Well, that was about 6 weeks ago now and He managed to fit me in last week. Two new turbos, Oil and filter change, 10 new loom plugs and a good check over saw me driving away a very VERY happy bunny!!! So I wanted to put this up to say thanks to the members on here and a HUGE thanks to Jimmer for fixing the car! …

What a awesome day. had a little bit of a nightmare and a few heart attacks along the way lol, but was a very good day. Even managed to figure out why all of a sudden one of the coil packs stopped working. (for anyone who thinks they have a coil pack problem, check and make sure to reseat the rubber bung on the Wiring harness loom Coilpack connection socket, or you do not get a good contact, thus stopping your coil pack working) Anyway, was checking the injector connectors on Pablio's car, and they were all lovely and green, so started cleaning them up, got 3 done and started the engine, did the old screw driver on the top and listen trick, noticed that number…

From looking at a couple of threads it seems I need to take out the rear upright and bench seat and then the rear side panels, and drill a hole in the window surround trim, can I do this with it in situ or have I GOT to take it off? Obviously I'll need a position on where to drill the hole in the trim does anyone have a picture of one handy?

Hi, Can anyone tell me how and what i need to test my actuators and set them up to the right boost pressure?? Ive got the HKS type. Thanks Dan

I'm getting a complete TT engine next week, thats not been in a car for a while. It apparently cost someone a lot of money as its had work done to it to increase power, is there anyway I can check this without doing the obvious and stripping it down? compression test etc? :huh:

Hi how do i remove the old one and replace removing trim and the likes cheers

Today with just a little bit of help :helpsmilie: we all managed to get a whole load of stuff done to the zed. We have really broke the back of this thing now, so with a bit of luck and someone to sort out the AEM EMS it should be startable in the next few weeks maybe :scared:. I cant say thanks enough to everyone today, its a difficult project as almost everything is an upgrade or a relocation. Its a big build and nothing is ever simple. Jimmer managed to put the twin plate barstool clutch in swiftly followed by the brand spanking new gearbox on the engine. We then managed to get the engine and box in the car in one piece!!.
