Hi everyone, Z passed its MOT this morning...:) Just both the front steering gaitors need replacing..Have we got anyone here that sells these or is Nissan my best option??? Best regards, Zee..:)

Can anyone help- Is there a seat belt mount on the B pillar of a s1 SWB? I want to put s2 trim in my s1 and remove the belts from the doors.

Hi all, I've been considering this for a while and finally decided this morning that I will sell the Z. A really difficult decision but my baby is due in 3-4 weeks so I need both the cash as well as the space in the driveway! I will definitely get another Z though, probably in 6 months time, when things have settled down. The Z is a 1993 NA Manual in Pearlescent White, which I bought in June last year, so had it almost 9 months. It's been absolutely fantastic and I use it as a daily driver. Although it's a Nissan, I did not expect it to be as reliable as my wife's Micra. It is even more reliable! I have attached photos of the Z, and as you can see, it is ab…

Hi guys 300zx Fairlady, 1991, J reg, Jap import, 90,000km I have a problem with my alternator and had to call the AA out the other day because the beast wouldn't start, although it had been fine 20 minutes beforehand. It's a problem I've had in the past several times. The AA guy put a meter onto the battery (sorry, not technical here :)) and told me that it should read somewhere between 12 and 14. It was fine when just the engine was running, dipped when he switched on the headlights and dipped even further to 10.8 when he put on the rear window heater and air con. He told me that the alternator is faulty and that I should avoid using anything other t…

Yep it's me again with another strange one, but does anyone near me do windscreen removal? I have found a very good guide writen by someone in the industry and although I feel confident enough to get the old glass out with out damaging it, it's doing the job properly enough when putting glass back in to make sure it doesn't leak and doesn't fall out 6 months down the line that I'm a bit concerned about.

As above, Cars been sitting for a while and the discs have gone rusty (as they do) I know that a quick drive will clean them but is there a way to stop it happening in the first place?

Can anyone tell me wich color is this? saw it on this Lambor die cast toy and loved it, anyone knows the code and who makes it? mm wouldn´t mind paiting my Z with this color. Thanks. http://www.idcow.com/mst2175.html

Hello peeps, I just drove home from work and tried booting up the dual carriage way and the car seemed really under powered (boost gauge indicated full boost) and then a warning light came on.... i think it was the cat overheating warning light... It came on for a couple of seconds, then went out, i was then obviously driving super gently, it came on again for a second or so then went out again, then stayed off till i got home. Car sounds fine, was running perfect this morning, should i be worried? and what do i need to do? I guess that if i get a new de catted exhaust would this solve things? Thanks guys, any advice would be greatly appreciated. p

Hi All, Im hoping you can help me? Im having alot of trouble with clearence of my engine mount agaist my right side turbo! Ive ground and cut away so much of the bracket that it will not be strong enough to hold the weight of the engine. Has anyone else used GD manifolds? Is there anyother mounts out there i can use? As it dont look like one can be made to fit at the moment unless i miss an surporting bolt out. Cheers Dan

I'm looking for suggestions for replacements for my front brakes, currently running standard Brembo discs and mintex 1144 pads but these have now expired. I'm not looking for a big brake upgrade as my pockets are not that deep (I had considered selling the car until very recently) and I have had a look at what Dan sells as I trust him. The car doesn't have a lot of use, maybe 3000 miles a year max but I have the chance of doing a trackday next month so would like something that would survive a day (ish) of abuse. being a track day virgin I doubt very much whether I would be pushing it that hard anyway. Your thoughts please.:biggrin:

Anyone got experience of renting a Garage/workshop space ? - Where/how would I find one available and what sort of costs ? Not after anything like an Industrial unit, they are all longterm leases, too big and subsequently too expensive. But after something more extensive than your typical single car garage. no idea where such things are advertised.

I have been having a play and have managed a way of lighting the mirror controls, i will keep you in suspense for a few hours before i put up pics as my camera is charging :thumbup: I will do a write up also if anyone wants to give this a go for themselves and if not you can send your mirror switch to me to do for you.

Well ive at last finished changing my exhaust, from a mongoose cat back to a complete stainless japspeed system with decats. The fit is near perfect with the wings west rear end. And has the look i was after. plus new O2 sensors. The sound is awesome but not to over the top. On tick over its a nice rumble, driving, its very deep, and on full chat it sounds the nuts. Even made a pensioner at a zebra crossing shout "Noisy hooligan" lol Didnt mind i was only pulling away. Will do some pics and a vid when ive finshed my new interior.

I heard on here that you can remove at least one of the tubs with out removing the engine from the car? anyone know what side this is? And do you have to remove the whole engine or just raise it enough to get at the tubs?

Hi all, my swb tt has suspected head gasket failure - pressurising coolant blowing out of cap/ blown a pipe off back of engine. I tried an HG test with the blue fluid which showed negative, so probably just a small blow at the moment. Anyway, my local mechanic will do it but he wants the car for 2 months, doing it between other jobs - he's not that keen lol, and we assume it can be done without removing the engine? I'm in Burnham, Somerset, would anyone else like to quote a price to do the job, or recommend someone who'll give me a quote? Also would do cam belt at the same time, and an oil leak from left side - poss pressure sender. My other option is to a…
