Hi All I just got hold of some 18 inch 8/9 J staggered wheels for my Z. They are ET 45 all round and I am fitting them on a standard height car for now but am planning on lowering the car soon. Current thoughts are front 20mm Hub centric spacers for the front with 225/35/18 tyres rear 15mm hub centric spacers for the rear with 265/35/18 tyres. does this seem about right or do you think I could get a wider spacer on the front running a 225 tyre? Any thoughts or advice much appreciated.

so there up and a couple of mine just look at this thread http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=131929 Thanks Again, Little REDZED (Harry).

i`m still relativley new to this scene and not really had much contact with other z owners. i sold a propshaft to a guy today who seemed to now his stuff,and i was very impressed with his engine bay layout and the 99 spec bumper.its the first time i`ve seen a z with that much detail to attention in the flesh.mine is a long way off yet but i`ve seen the light at the end of the tunnel(so to speak) and i`m glad i`ve chosen a z to modifiy.

I bought viniboy's Tomei steering wheel and quick release boss... but it hasn't got a wheel centre, and I had a spare nose panel Z badge, but can't make my mind up whether it looks good or not. :confused: I mean it looks ok, but not sure whether its a bit big for a steering wheel. Input required! cheers guys :hyper:

Im trying to help out Marv 300, manual TT. Starts fine, but boost will not go past zero, have checked pipes and all appear good. Ecu comes up with error code 13. Temp sensor. If this is shagged would it cause no boost or what else to look at??????

Went to Zedworld today for a conzult/health check. Just to add my recommendation (to the many) to anyone needing work done its worth the trip. Great set up, facilites and knowledgeable staff.

Will a tt manual box fit a non turbo manual engine without the need to swap anything over?

Had a bit of a disaster last night putting them on LOL got 3 of them on no problems then the last rear wouldnt fit :wack: tried everything but nope woldnt go on, took it off and the hub was bigger than the wheel centre :mad: so 10 minutes of head scratching, took the other rear off which fit fine only to realise it still had a spiggot ring on :smash: it was the same colour as the rims so blended right in and you couldnt tell it was there, anyway managed to get it out and rims fit fine then :hyper: Still think i need to space the fronts out to fill the arches a bit more but the rears fill out very nicely indeed.

Hi Managed to grab some time today to try and figure how/where to mount the Aeromotive FPR and filter - finally decided to mount them to the passenger side engine skin as below. I fabricated the filter bracket from the original fuel filter bracket lol. It will get powder coated or chromed. Just polished currently. Works out quite well as the fuel supply comes UP nicely into the filter - exits filter via a a 35 degree 8AN - then into an 8AN/2 x 6AN splitter that will then loop out to the fuel rails. (Parallel feed) - then exit from the rails back to the two 6AN' on the FPR and out the bottom back to the fuel return/tank. Sweet. Any comment…

Hi , sorry if this is a daft question, but is the PTU from a twin turbo the same as one from a N/A?? And if you dont know what a PTU is ,As I didn`t ,2 mins ago i looked up it stands for `Power Transistor Unit` Thanks Darren.
