OMG what a day, I spent all of it fitting a new FMI. If you dont mind getting a saw to your freshly painted after market bumper then im sure its a quickish job. :clown: However if you dont want to destroy your bumper then you have to bend, hacksaw, and generally struggle with every part of it. Its like the movie Karate Kid but instead of "wax on, wax off" its "bumper on, bumper off" ahhhhhhhhh. And then when you wrestle with it all day so the fecker fits underneath you then need to fabricate two brackets to hold it all into position. Sure pleased that is out the way :no:

Right i currently converted my car (1996 auto) to mph but its stalls now and then and not to mention i was doing 90mph and it just cut out completely . so my next idea is instead of converting it ill get a set of dials that read kph on the out side but mph in the middle i was hoping for some Indiglo Dials does anyone know were i can source these from , i no z center does it but i need to see the pics better etc

...Without messing up the nice shiny outside!! I am 60% done with my plenum polish and have realised that I have not flushed the thing through yet?? What's the best way of doing this now guys (and girls)? :confused1:

In Daventry, parked down street thats no Access opposite the Council building(only for taxis/bus etc) think Z was sitting in a yellow bus stop bay(car had ticket of sorts on windscreen!) Tony

Does anyknow were to get a fuel filter from? And how much are they?

Hi guys, just after picking your brains... I could do with a new rear bumper, seeing as i am getting the car up to tip top condition, just wondering if there are any body shop geezers out there who can tell me what the best way to prep it for spraying is, as it has that orange peelish stippled effect on the bottom half, obviously wet n dry wont do it.... Cheers, front bumper arrives in the morning, woo! :clap::thumbup:

ok story so far since car been off of the road. fitted tt calipers, braided brake lines and filled with dot 4 fluid. now the car has been sat drained of fluid for about 3 months. started to bleed system and used manual guidance left rear right rear left front right front abs front abs rear now i cannot get any bloody pedel firmness, still feels spongy but some resistance . fluid running clear and bubble free at all bleed nipple points! what am i doing wrong or have i got an air lock somewhere still and have to go round the system again?

whats the standed bhp for a tt auto please

Does anyone know how hard it would be to fit a skyline engine into a 300 cheers

I really cannot make up my mind if these will look good on my car?? For the people that bought them in the group buy have you fitted them yet and what have you done with them??? I dont want to chrome them because on a black car they will look way to bright. I was thinking of spraying them in a bright silver like below and put a mirror film around the center parts (light section) 99spec but in black or gloss black?? but it might not be worth the hassle lol!!! Or just leave the stock ones in as i think it looks aggressive. Here is my car and issacs side by side and he has stock ones but chromed (spray) So what are your thought…

i bought these on ebay from a hong kong :chinese: seller on the evening of the 17th feb and they arrived at my door on tuesday 23rd.....unbelievable that!!!!! :thumbup: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160398445078&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT anyway i have photo'd them in the box for you to have a look at. the ballasts are not the slim type but this does not bother me. i cannot fit just yet as my wife is wrapping them and putting them away for my birthday on the 8th march, she will not let me have them early :cursing: i went for the 55w type as i believe these are a bit brighter, this is stamped on along with 6000k and H3…

Reading up on putting my gearbox back in and it says fill it with fluid, whats best to fill it with ATF. And do you all measure it when its back in or just push it on. Thanks

Can someone show me where this is located in the engine bay , I think it needs a clean.

Hi Ive been talking to a chap who may be able to make some slam panels for us N/A owners. I was wondering if there would be any interest for a 1 piece headlamp/slampanel as is availiable for the Twin Turbo. We are only discussing the possibility so price ,time etc is yet to be sorted,just wondered if anyone fancied one.:angel:

the 300zx is surely a classic now not only in years but complete driving experience,as parts seem to get more expensive and labour costs more it still baffles me why the cars arent going up in price the odd few with thousands spent im not saying but we have all spent probably a few grand fixing them does anyone think our great car will become worth something one day?
