Won't be to everyone's taste, but I think it looks absolutely amazing. Such a great stance, and an awesome set of wheels (Hayashi Racing 505) :thumbup: http://speedhunters.com/archive/2009/11/04/car-feature-gt-gt-that-240z.aspx

We all like good brakes and there are many ways to improve your standard set up but of course cost can be an issue. So quite a popular method is to retain the existing calipers and use adapter plates to move the caliper out so a larger disc can be fitted. But get the maths wrong and what looks like an upgrade can be much less than you think. Here is a case in point, bigger 330mm discs fitted using caliper adapter plates give an apparent extra 20mm of disc. But on closer inspection the pads have beome incorrectly position and as a result the pads overhang the disc by around 5mm. Further inspection reveals the inner 15mm of swept disc area is not in …

as ive got loads i want to get done on the zed. Fit full s/s japspeed system, refurb the wheels to silver from black, ditch the high level spoiler and skirts and go smooth Then get started on re covering the interior grey alcantara with new stuff. But this poxy weather is holding things up. Please bring on the better warm weather quicker......

I have a clifford alarm on my Z - its an oldish one (white fob!) The indicators flash when alarm 'goes off' but siren doesn't sound. You can press the unlock button and it will reset the alarm, although it doesn't operate the locks. Finally, it doesn't seem to immobilise the car as I can start it without even touching the fob. The person I bought it off said it was some connection in the passenger door, but there seems to be a multitude of faults there. Control module or something? Is it hard to rip it all out and get another one fitted? :boat:

Question I have changed the side light bulbs set in the Fog lights to orange. Bought some Clear indicator side lenses. plugged the Indicator into the Large pod, then clear small bulbs in the smaller pod of the indicator lense, and connected these to the now orange side lights, so i have two sets one orange and one white. The white ones now being the legal side lights but should I keep the orange or make them white as well (legal wise)?? If that makes sense

saw you skirting around clatterbridge roundabout going out to willaston wed afternoon 24/ 2/ 2010

I have just put together my engine stand which arrived today and im going to need the bolts to attach it to the block, im thinking 10x100mm if anyone knows for sure please let me know. Also because of the pipe on the rear of the engine, it seems to leave only 4 mounting points. Anyone with any pics of the rear of the engine on a stand will be great. Last question, will it rotate ok on the stand or will it try to swing out of control, is it best to have 2 people to do it. Many thanks Graham

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 saw a 300zx reg plz 1... somthing, driving down ainsworth lane, bolton today about, 3pm, was wondering who owned it, it was strange because mine was stolen from ainsworth lane and its reg was plz 2880,and they are identical...?

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

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:
