Could you do me a big favour and take some pictures of the bumper brackets and how they fit? Cheers Vijay

Hi, I’ve looked but can’t seem to find anything related…. I have a Jap import and want to use LED’s in the indicators, I bought a standard LED indicator module (upgrade) but when I installed it… nothing at all…. I put the old unit back in and it works (although too fast). I’ve spoken to the shop where I bought it and they are happy to send me a replacement (they can't tell me if it will work on the car). So should a standard unit work? Cheers…

Hi, I have a NA which has an oil pressure guage, measuring kg/cm2. Could someone please advise what the normal measurements should be? When I start the car, it reads between 4 and 6. Once it is warmed up, it idles at 2 (or less) but cruises at around 4. When idle, if I rev the car, it increases to 4. Is this normal? The reason I ask is that I have had the car for nearly 5 months and I am sure that it used to nearly always remain around 2. Could the weather have had an impact? Or do I have a problem? Any feedback greatfully received.

Finally passed the MOT this morning, the tester was a bit of a know it all, he tested my car yesterday as a 350z cos in his opinion was the nearest match. I told him that the 2 cars were nothing alike, the engine is a 3.5 for a start and will have cats because of its age. I said how can you test it as another car, no decent reply, just kept dodging a reasonable answer. I told him that i had been reliably informed by a couple of MOT testers that because the 300zx is not on the UK database it had to be tested as a pre cat regardless of age, he didnt agree:xxx: i showed him the print out with pics stating where the manufacturer stamps were, his reply was: that might j…

Well if I said to you - I want to build a dragcar - You would obviously say - Well Andy; you need a Ford Cosworth first - then just drop in a Z32 1000BHP engine, custom manifolds, custom intakes, custom everything - hook it up to a GTR drivetrain and use a Holinger sequential gearbox!!! And BINGO! It would look like this: :slap: Greek drag car madness - I like the pedestrian fryers... :hyper:

Ok i want the HKS v pro gold or simular ECU! My question is as the HKS is a piggy back ECU im understand that the standard ECU is still used to a degree? Will i also still need the standard water temp and o2 sensors in my down pipes? Im thinking of adding my own Wide band air/fuel guage and egt guage. I was hoping i can use the stock locations? Thanks Dan

Afternoon, Can anyone help with where these front bumper brackets go. I've an aftermarket Stillen bumper so do I need them all? The first ones seem to have been cut at some point which makes me think it might be something to do with having a Stillen bumper fitted. I've got a set off a breaker so you can see what they look like complete

Hi - I have removed my HICAS completely - should I remove the HICAS ECU in the passenger footwell as well? Is it just a case of unplugging - discarding - or are there any little resistors to solder in - or Main ECU 'modifications' required to keep it happy? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hi Need to change timing belt and pulleys etc. Car is 1993 JDM NA. Is it hydraulic or standard tensioner on these? Rob

Hi guys, As the title says, I want to buy a 300ZX but I don't know how much I should be paying for one, or what to look out for. I have found one to look at... It's an import on a K plate, has done 80k, and he tells me that it's a short wheel base model, twin turbo with a chip so it (apperently) runs 380ish bhp. Other than that, its boggo standard. How much should I be paying for this car? This model also has the removable roof. Do these leak? Also what does 'slicktop' mean? Any help would be appriciated.... Cheers, Maz

Anyone know the weight of a manual gearbox

was just going down the dual carriage way poodling along as i do (in the zed), noticed a bus learner parked in the inside lane so indicated and moved over, well some :xxx: twat in a BM thought it'd be a good idea to sit on my ass haha not for long sucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by the time i got to the end of the dual carrigeway my hands were shaking, shit that car is fast!!!! :bow:

Not happy, as my car failed the mot and not on anything structural or important. In the past 2 years mot's it has passed with flying colours with no cats. This year, different mot station, as the one i used before have closed down, they failed it on emissions due to no cats. Unfortunately it states on the logbook, first reg date 2004 (obviously when it was first registered in this country) The reg plate on the car is a K so 93' ish. I checked all the usual places, and the dates come back as 1990. So pre 92 doesnt need a cat test, however, trying to prove this to the tester is proving difficult What can i produce to prove beyond any reasonable dou…

My wheels have a really large offset or is it small offset Anyway they stick out the arches. Is it possible to change this offset so they don't stick out so far? This will involve cutting the metal centre down on the inside of the wheel. These were expensive made to order 3 piece wheels, is this a good idea even if it is possible? Obviously i wouldnt attempt myself and would take to a specialist but where could i take them?

My sisters are buying me a track day at Oulton Park for my crimbo prezzie :D So i need a helmet. I may aswell buy one as if i like the whole tracking experience i'd like to do it more often and also i'm guessing i'm gonna need one for the Nurburgring in the summer time. Only want summit cheap, can you get em for like £30? Recommendations please, with links if possible :) Taa, Isaac :cool:

I'm sure everyone has either seen these on ConceptZ or eBay but has anyone bought any ? They seem truly great value ! I think Nend mentioned a while back that he was getting some - if you see this did you get them ? If so what impressions ? Mark
