Hey folks just been looking at Z cantre`s selection of rear lights and i know there is difference of opinons on here so just wanted to find out which is the most popular. Im quite keen on changing things completely so im not sold on 99 spec rears however with the 300zx lit up this could look quite stylish. Marty http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/index.php?cPath=21_22_41

For anyone who has is thinking of doing a plenum water bypass or just wondered what it look like, take a look at the photo's below, its an old engine from a breaker but had previously been done, I have highlighted the new pipes with red lines. The advantages of doing this is to remove unnecessary pipe work that can fail, and replacing required pipe work with new which is good for future breakdown prevention. Jeff TT

The guy who was kindly going to lend me a engine crane, now cant do it due to buggering the hydraulics up on it, so im now in need of a crane to hoist this damn engine out of the car and put the new engine in. Is there anyone near Wellingborough in Northampton that could kindly lend me one for a day, just to do a engine swap. I would rent one but by the time I've done that i may as well of bought the damn thing, but as much as id love my own, i need the rest of me cash just in case i need to get anything mid swap that i haven't thought of yet. Any help in this matter would be much appreciated.

OK I have my modified lower plenum back now -and ready to fit - is it possible to remove the lower plenum by just de-tensioning/clamping the timing belt, removing the upper/middle idle pully - and then wiggling the lower plenum idle pully shaft out of the timing belt back cover hole carefully backwards? Or do I need to strip right back, remove cam sprockets, rear belt covers etc? (yes I already have the plenum off etc etc etc.) :rofl::rofl: I have no EGR to get in the way so...

Does anybody know the best way to get rid of stonechips in the paintwork (without a respray) - I seem to have shedloads on my bonnet and they really spoil the party - especially when you spend sooo long cleaning and polishing and they just show up even more. Any tips guys and gals?

Hi Guys and Girls Just putting the engine back together and I have found a broken wire and cant fine where it goes, think it is the dett sensor. If it is should I just bypass it? Thanks Hope the pics work new at this....

Was speaking to my mate earlier about this, I don't know why I had the thought but I was thinking of brake alterations - is it possible to fit a set of 4 pot front capiers on the rear of a Z32?? Has it been done before and would it make much of a difference? Obviously handbrake would be an issue. :confused:

Tasked with fitting a missing fan shroud the radiator top hose was removed but unfortunately instead of a nice water/ antifreeze mix running out this is what did, got to say it does not look good eh? Jeff TT

parked up looked like you lived there, Interested in your opinion of the area as may be moving there.

Hi, As you may recall I am building a top mounted fuel rail feeding top feed injectors - so when I bin the stock fuel rail I will lose the mount point for the stock Fuel Temp Sensor. I believe the 300Degree rail has a hole on each rail for the OEM temp sensor to be re-used - but I have also read a few Aussie and USA posts that say they have deleted it when changing rails!!!! :xxx: I could mount the temp sensor back on the new rail - or more conveniently maybe on the 'Y' splitter block to the parallel rail feeds! Or - if advantageous - anywhere else?!?! :dance: What's the best solution chaps? Any feelings?

...Can I just disconnect and remove servo, cable etc? Are there [going to be] any issues with just leaving the connector flapping in the wind (with the others)? Sounds simple I know - but this is a ZED so... :nelson: Cheers.. :rolleyes:

I need to get my car Mot'd as i have no where off road i can store her, it currently has a tap from a lifter. but i need to mot & tax it so i can keep it at home and fix it. Does anyone know if this would be an Mot failure?? cheers Craig

Am I right in thinking that to totally eliminate the fluid side of the HICAS, I just need to replace the PAS pot with an NA one, or is there a bit more to it?

guys trying to get these 2 apart as I need to remove mu fuse/relay box. As you can see the grey one came apart no problem, the brown plug is being more difficult. I have tried the obvious of pushing down on the small plastic tab on the connector whilst pulling apart but no joy! Am I misssing something or do I have just just pull harder? On the 2nd pic. how does the socket come away from the metal prong? Tried pushing the tab in from hte under side with a flat bladed screwdriver but to no avail!! :smash: H
