have all the stuff I need knocking around. Is it worth doing and where are all the ground points I need? Any pics?

Just had a dividend payment and looking to spend it on the zeds brakes as mine are currently standard (pants). I don't really want to spend anymore than £700-1k because I would also like an EBC and to have it remapped.

As title, was it you? Looked a nice example with nice alloys.

I`m thinking of buying an engine stand, would this be suitable for our z engine? Thanks in advance. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ENGINE-GEAROX-STAND-350KG-ES350-SEALEY-FREEPOST-NEW_W0QQitemZ190369750238QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item2c52ebdcde

Guys have a nice shiney pot from slick Pete, question is can I just clamp off the pipes and remove the old pot and replace with the new one? Will I need to do anything else, apart from top up the fluid when done ? cheers H.

I have a Clifford Concept 650 and want to disconnect the battery will I have to put the alarm in to valet mode to do this or can I just disconnect it with out the alarm going off? :confused1:

I know there are a few threads about this and i have looked about but unsure to no if i did anything wrong recently after my minor blow out. in the pic attached i used the jack from the boot and used the sill to lift the car is that the correct way to do it , some say that sill jacking is a big no no and some says its ok its factory recomend, im kinda guessing the thread may go the same way, but more looking for a answer to if i may have done any damge that isnt noticed now or am i just being paranoid

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250579519944&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123 I think something has been posted about this before but i emailed the guy to see where he is getting the power from and why does he not list what mods the engine has had done and this is the response i got Come down & if it hasn't got 450 I will give you £1000 in cash. Are you a zedder looking to buy or just being nosey? So i said that people in forum take interest in zeds on ebay and adverts that claim bhp but no real write up as to how it gets it and what a surprise reply I dont give a monkeys about forums. I have a print out so like I sa…

just had a nightmare with an ebay seller. Bought an item from them and basically still had nothing after 10 days so in that time i was onto them several times saying where is my item. After 10 days i had enough so i said fine just give me a refund ill make other arrangements and then they ignored that and sent me an email saying that they had sent me another part recorded delivery that i ended up getting after 14 days in total. Just asked for a return address that i asked for when they sent the item recorded delivery and now saying that they do not accept returns as the item is not faulty. Has anyone else had dealings with 300zx_parts ? Rant over lol M…

well my zed is dead, over heated again and now there water coming out of the exhaust big time + gear box crunch in 3rd and 4th and cluch on it way out. so looking through ebay the other nite and came across this k reg z and though it was a good idea to buy it. so my proplem now is do i swap the engine and gear box over to my over one or repair this new one? http://img130.imageshack.us/i/71274563.jpg/ http://img714.imageshack.us/i/27277840.jpg/ http://img697.imageshack.us/i/40630263.jpg/ http://img402.imageshack.us/i/67178102.jpg/ http://img11.imageshack.us/i/53625579.jpg/ http://img59.imageshack.us/i/58470892.jpg/ http://img10.imageshack.us/i/23654937.jpg/

Well after spending the weekend looking for a vacuum leak and being unable to find one and playing around with the maf to no effect a new symptom cropped up today. The car really struggles to accelerate now in any gear, at any speed, at any revs. When i brake the engine cuts out, and when cold the oil pressure is nearly off the top of the guage. Am i right in thinking that this is a definate sign of PCV valve failure? Im crap when it comes to mechanics and so are my local garages, wanna make sure that if i am going to attempt to replace something its the right part. Looking at the how to guides its pretty straight forward, but just a pain.

I seem to like doing these poll things, I dont know why? I just do so............ my mate commented on my extra small stock caliper`s that I painted brembo red and he thinks they look small and crap in red!!! I rather liked them but now he`s mentioned it, I know what he`s saying He does have an E55 AMG and his HUGE Calipers are silver and look the dog`s boll`s!! tW*T SO.. what do you reckon is the best colour??
