Well, now the old engine is out and the new one is in (although yet to be wired and plumbed back up) thought id remove the lower gear box mounts to get a good look at the damage, so for your viewing pleasure...

I would just like to say thanks (again) to Jeff and the crew at Zedworld for the Conzult on my vert at JAE 2009, I have just recieved my diagnostic details as promised through the post. :bow: So THANKYOU ;) DaZ .

Found these on the american e-bay site, thought people might be interested in the comparison photos in the advert. I think these are the same as the Nissan branded ones which are being sold. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/INFINITI-NISSAN-SPORT-BIG-BRAKE-KIT-FOR-G35-350Z-03-Up_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2c4dac9290QQitemZ190281716368QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

The regional event organisers are a really important part of the club!! without meetings we are just an internet site. Next year i hope to put together a range of events over the year and need the help to make this happen so if you have what it takes please let me know. Cheers Mike

Hi guys, im new to zeds. I noticed there are alot more autos out there than manuals, I intend to get one fairly soon, and i was told once its not to hard to change from auto to manual. I was just wondering how much work is it really, Gearbox change? ECU change? Wiring? Anything else involved. Also is there much of an advantage to having a manual to an auto, are they just as easy to squeeze power out of. Any help appreciated. Thanks Mark

now ive been looking at these and to be fair i think they look wicked, anyone else got this on there motor, if so you got any pics , also how easy or hard are they to fit

Hi peeps, im replacing the head gasket on my n/a zed and was just wondering what upgrades i could do while the heads off :confused: the cars standard apart from a de-cat exhaust and air filter with some hi flow manifolds going on at the same time as the gasket. any ideas? not looking to spend to much ether so the cheaper the better.

Hi folks does anyone know what the bore diameter is on a 92 UK manual TT as there are 2 possible ones on ebay and wanted to get the right rebuild kit.

first of all had a search cant find anything, bit of a newbie question, but i have 2 T28h 1 used to be on my s13 the other is the spare, the are from a pulsar technically, what is the difference between the left and right turbos? apart from you can get to one but not the other, can i fit my t28h's to it? from pictures and looking at the car can't see any difference, but was on the turbo technics site and the called the right and left? if not what is the best way to upgrade the turbos? p.s. my z has finally stopped being temperamental now, cheers for all the advice before.

Hi guys, I was trying to plug something into the ciggy socket, could not get an output so i dismantled the area and dis-assembled the connections under the ciggy switch, tried to get a 12v from them with a multimeter but no go, so i put it back together. Then!! Went to come home tonight, and no lights! no side, when i go to main, i get full beam only!, Also, i get no lights on the dash, i've looked at the area under the ciggy switch but cant see anything wrong. Now i dont believe in coincidence, so is there anything in the ciggy switch area that could totally feck up the lights that i could have inadvertently done Also, quickie, which fuse do i have to re…

Hi everyone The next "non starter" The car drove fine up until this morning ( daily drive ) when it wouldn´t start :o( I,ve esablished that there is no fuel being pumped to the engine and that I cannot hear the fuel pump engage when turning the ignition, so I have checked the following: 1: All fuses 2: all connectors relating to the fuel pump 3: The fuel pump relay ( it clicks..twice? ) 4: The fuel pump, i took it out and hooked it up to a battery and it works. 5: the fuel filter 6: After doing an electrical test I found that there is power going into the fuel pump relay but no power is being transmitted to the pump when the ig…

Hi, i've been looking at getting some slam panels for the engine bay, you know, the ones/s that cover the front of the bay over the lights are and the rad. Now as i see it, i have 2 options, get it as a 3 piece option from DTA ie 2 light covers and a rad cover, or go for the zcentre option of a 1 piece item so apart from the obvious difference in money, has anyone had either of these who can give me a review thanks Rich

I've got a set of wheels from an old car that I think might look good on my z31 and after looking at some guides online and doing the math I think that they will fit with the use of a pcd adapter (anybody got any experience using these - OK to use for every day use?) and without having to change the tyres...anyone care to do the math and confirm? Current setup: 5 Lug bolt pattern: 5x114.3 15x6.5 +20mm Tyres: 215/60/15 New setup: 5 Lug bolt pattern: 5x120 17x7.5front 8.5 rear +41 Tyres: front- 225/45/17 rear- 220/40/17 Going by the guide on ZBUM's site the offset should be alright, particularly with the addition of the pcd adapter...but I have b…

Just bought a white zx tt with evo spoiler and ferrari lookalike rear lights :nana2::nana2: Does anybody know of it? Its got a private number on it starting with RDZ (not coming with plate ) and is a low mileage. The start of the original number was G300 again can't remember the end of it.:wack: Any info appreciated.;) It's in Scotland now (obviously) but originally came from England.

Just to let folks know, I have just popped a UK spec cruise control ECU into my Jap spec car and it has remove the silly 68mph cruise limit. It now cruises at a minimum of 30mph upto a max of 105mph! A real easy swap and IMO well worth doing. Just done a 50mile round trip and cruising at 80 is so much better. Cost me £15 Only thing to watch out for is getting the right replacement box. There are 2 types, a 89-92 Ecu & a 93+ One is a 16pin connection, the other is a 20pin connection, the latter is the later box. Hope this is helpful to someone:)

Ever wondered what your zed looked like when it was brand new, well look at these photo`s and marvel at a 16 year old one owner zed with a GENUINE 19.660 miles from new NEVER been out in the rain, original paint, tyres , rear spoiler and just look at the leather seats...wow!!
