Saw you going towards Tunstall police station, just by The Wheatsheaf pub, i was in a pearl white one going the opposite way.

Hello All, I've just bought a 300zx 2+2 twin turbo on a J plate. It was imported in 2002 and is a 1992 car. I kinda bought it 'blind'. I've got no 300zx experience, I've owned a WRX impreza before - but nothing like this........the car came without any history and there are no stickers on the timing belt cover indicating a recent belt. The speedo is in MPH and the mileage shows 65k. Its fine on cold idle, warmed up and moving I'm having no dramas - but as soon as the engine is warm and I get stuck in traffic I'm getting worrying amounts of blue smoke. I've booked the car in for a cam belt brake, and oil service change but wondered if its a) a common problem, …

Red zed parked outside AVC mot testing in oxford business centre looked like standard tt(even had carrot indicators):lol:

As the title says! i think it is every 60K, am i right. Also do you change any other belts at the same time. I've got a receipt from the previous owner showing 'Belts (3 off)' could this be cam or something else? Thanks

Hi everyone. Does anyone know is the Jap speedo circuit board and the UK speedo circuit board are the same? Also how much would I be looking at paying for a Jap spec speedo cluster? Ivan

Following on from the bumpers following swage line thread, I was wondering if there are any sideskirts that goes with the standard '89 spec TT bumpers? All the ones I've seen so far seem to be made to match aftermarket bumpers.

Well... :punk:

Hi all, I'm taking my car to Zedworld this coming Thursday - the 4th - is anyone else going to be there? Richard:cool3:

With regards the post made by one of the members of the forum about not getting parts after having paid the money, what would the members on this forum think of when we register/pay subs we need to provide contact details ie, home/mobile number and address so that in the event of a situation like this there are a means of getting in touch with the offending party. No details provided, then you are not allowed to sell, pretty crap for people like me breaking a car or selling the odd part but in the end the small minority spoil it for everyone. The information isnt made public, it should be kept private with the mods. Just a thought, what do u guys think? Cheers J…

Does anybody know of any other front bumpers/lips/etc which follow and compliment the existing swage line on the Zed? other than those in this list? http://www.fairladyz32.com/gallery/parts/ I'm looking for ideas as to what to do with the front of mine. I have smooth skirts and a subtle rear extension. Any ideas people? I'd be interested to hear what you all think.:helpsmilie:

Took my car for a spin earlier, following a bit of weight reduction and replacing the standard intercoolers for ARC uprated side mounts. I've also concentrated my efforts to have maximum airflow to the front of the intercoolers, and also flow out of the back of them. Its made a HUUUGE difference to acceleration, more than I'd ever expect! its still running standard boost too. It'll be SORN'd tonight so I can do lots to it next month. Can't wait for the summer when its got loads more of go-faster goodies on!! :clap: :thumbup:

Hi guys, as some of you are aware I bought some parts off a member here. These were to include.... 1. A brand new Border Fuel Rail with 550 injectors. £350 2. A set of mark 2 series clocks with plasma dials. £100 3. A set of silver faced dials brand new and unused. £140 4. A set of TT decat pipes with silencers used for 500 miles. £70 Now I put dibs on the Fuel Rail + injectors and clocks on Dec 29 I PM'd the person and asked were the series 2 clocks UK spec as I had been looking for UK spec for some time. I was told that as far as he knew they were UK spec and he had changed the dials in them some time previous and hadn't got round to fitting them. …
