Feel it's time for a freshen up 'maybe'. I've been thinking over in my head what to do. Initially, bayside blue....always wanted that colour! BUT, I think I'd want to start again from scratch if doing that and whites are really in at the moment. I should hopefully be getting a nice bonus toward the end of this year and due a payrise next month! So should have quite a bit more disposable income which I can throw at the Z. Plans are as follows....some of it goes against what I've said in the past, but since I'm updating, I think it should work well. For starters, the interior is staying untouched. Happy with that and will go well with the new paint. I want t…

can i .....[if a can] copy over vehicle description in my rides section to a piston heads ad?

Right o then folks, im upgrading my brakes soon and i have settled with something abit peculiar but when it all comes together it will be epic! Although the discs that i will get with the Calipers are going to have a centre diameter of 85mm where the Zed hub bore is only 73mm (IIRC) so they are going to be far too large :( Is there any way to get around this? i have looked at getting custom Disc bell but then the cost saving would be reduced considerably and would be a ball ache. PCD is no isue as i can drill new holes while retaining balence in the disc. Any thoughts are most welcome. by the way the discs will be 350mm x 34mm but that doesnt change anything …

Looking for someone with datascan or conzult within an hour or so drive of lowestoft that can plug in to my z and see whats going on for a few beers.

in a twin turbo, is this a good idea? before the NA blew it had a brand new exeedy clutch kit, i was fully happy to use the clutch and flywheel from my na on my new twin turbo because i was told the exeedy clutch was rated to 400bhp, however im getting conflicting advice now, the TT engine i now have is missing the flywheel and would require a pressure plate too.....what to do?

black h reg in tesco hailsham today. i was the strange man pointing that pulled up next to you in the black mondeo

Its well past time I replaced my air filters. Most on here recommend Apexi filters, but as I have a twin cone set up that would mean buying two...a bit costly given the price they are going for. Also more importantly I dont think they would fit the adaptor I have as they are just too wide. After hunting around I can get AEM Dryflow filters with the dimensions I need. So far all the write ups I have seen have been from the states but seem to be pretty positive. Has anyone had any dealings with AEM kit, quality etc ?

Not me... tomorrow I pick up my 18" Work Equip wheels with great condition tyres - I was the only bidder and won them for £250 :tt2: PICS TO FOLLOW :rockon:

:cry::cry::cry: YES THE MARBLE ZED HAS GONE its a very sad time for me to let this car go there was lots of reasons why i had to let it go (as some of you know) but only one reason to keep it COS I LOVED IT sometimes we have to let our heads rule our hearts. ive put a lot of time and effort into this car, along with davezx. but i could,nt have asked for a nicer person to sell it to the new owner is martin stacey (basingstoke) me and martin get on really well and he is such a nice person i hope you will all make him very welcome to the club i believe he has already subscribed and is looking forward to meeting you all at shows and meets…

Hi Guys, things have change and I'm no longer doing drifting. I strated my own company in France => Dijon Auto Racing I'm doing essentially chiptuning but can do pretty much everything the customer want on his car. I also have a dyno so that's help me finishing my Z32. The car is now running fine but I'm having trouble with my gearbox. I bought it brand new two year ago but I've drive less than 5000k miles with it. The problem is concerning the 4th gear. When I high rev the third, 4th won't engage... When I bought the brand new gearbox it was already because of this probleme. Anybody know what I should do? PS: My car is produci…

It cost £1.85? I am not happy and would…

Where can I get a nice one from, I bought one off ebay but its about 10mm to wide. I have heated it up and bent it about for a better fit but It would be better not buying a universal one. Any ideas?

....Never seen anything like them before and the previous owner did not have the tool, i need to remove the wheels and wondered if anybody know where i could get one? Dave

Hi, i just a bit confused, the 300zx my dad bought has the sidelight where the indicator is, and the fog lights seperate. But i could swear the other 300zx he's taken to portugal had the sidelights in the same place as the foglights?? So am i right in thinking his indicator and foglights have been changed at some point? One hes got now.

HI :) I say 2 seater as I don´t know where the part I am refering to is on a 2+2. Still hunting for this electrical gremlin. on the 2 seater, behind the passenger seat ( On a LH drive model ) under the platic "lid" is the actuator for the anti brake lock. Can anyone confirm, or maybe not, that when you switch the ignition on the actuator goes "click, click click" ( 3 times) quite quickly, Is this normal ? Cheers Maz :)

Guys On my drivers side window there is a few scratches where the old window rubber turned to rock and scratched the tint off. What is the best way to repair this?

Hi, every probably 3rd or 4th time i start her, or try to start her, she wont, and floods, if i remove plugs 1-4 (as the others are a pain) they are soaking wet, dry them off, put em back in and she starts perfectly (well, after a few seconds to dry the other 2 out)... What could be causing it to flood? Cheers.... Tudor.

Ok so i was in the Queue to get into TheFastShow Sunday and you never guess who was sitting next to me???? I was thinking anyone but him..... It was only Pete from Thor Racing. After all i went through with them and screwing me over i had to be sitting next to him. Pete is the owner. I couldnt believe it. I mean he looked straight at me, i looked and looked away as you do and thought huh!?! WTF?? and looked back and just pointed at him. Pete like my 300zx? nope im not in it becuase what you guys did to me. By the way, Nick when you were following me, your Zed with that bumper looks sweet :D
