Hi all, Please see my last post in the "Massive Sale" thread over in the DTA-Motorsport (UK) traders section. I'm proposing to end this sale on Monday 19th October at midnight and am offering another 10% off the already rock-bottom sale prices! With the impending postal strikes next week I'm hopeful to get all the orders shipped out on Tuesday for delivery on Wednesday. After that I can't guarantee a delivery date. So grab your bargains NOW as these prices will not be repeated! As usual - no PM's, no dibs. Payment through paypal secures your purchase. Please remember to add 3% if your order is UNDER £50.00. I'm off now but will check back tom…

As above, i am quite pleased with myself. Having no experience in car maintenance, I managed to swap out the rear speaker housing brackets (having to remove all the boot trim) and put in a couple of custom built ones which mean i now have bigger speakers in the back, without losing any boot space.. :D I also swapped out the old broken aerial with a new one, so now i get proper radio reception. And.. i only had time for one, but i managed to take off the passenger door card and changed the speaker up there as well. Next on the list is the other door, and then the steering wheel, but i have to go to work now so some other time. Thanks to all you wh…

Seen a 2+2 Silver J-Spec heading northbound on the A1, outside Torness Power Station, at about 16:30. Looked very nice for the short period of time i seen it. De-spoilered, Perspex strip and quad tailpiped exhausts. Anyone on here?

Seen it a number of times. Has anthracite Nurburgrings on it. Looks pretty clean.

Yet another first time pass for my trusty NA Zed - not even any advisories:hyper:

Have a look at this site http://www.auto-performance.co.uk anyone used them before?

Probably all seen it, but is this proof that cars are getting slower? Love the cossie and the golf, shame about the 205 and the MR2 and the TT does the job at the end. I got love for you if you were born in the 80's :dance:

I am getting water into the car through the targa/door window join. have replaced targa rubbers but no better. Can see that inside the 'A' pillar rubber there is a hole which no doubt allows water to drain though the rubber. Is this correct & what's the easiest way to clear out any blockages?

How easy/hard is it to swap a like for like steering wheel on a jap auto TT? Do i need any special tools? Anybody got a step by step guide that can explain it to an idiot? Does the cruise control pose any issues? Mine is a bit tatty and i've got a new one waiting to go in. Ta

Hello All. Anyone know of after market front seats that'll pretty much bolt straight in an import LWB series 1 using the same rails and electrics?

I remember once seeing this M-reg Z on Auto Trader going for a reasonable price when it was nice and standard...... .......however someone has since ruined the interior with that awful "red and white gloss" makeover:hurl: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1995-RED-NISSAN-300ZX-2-2-TWIN-TURBO-T-Top_W0QQitemZ270469064529QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item3ef9366751&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Shame:( Richard:cry:

Has anyone replaced the hatch/boot cover with something more substancial, i.e. a real parcel shelf. On the basis that a lot of the noise in the car comes from this area, I thought something more solid would make a bif difference. Any ideas?

Is there anywhere on in the forum about removing the plenum Mine seams to be stuck at the back end !!!!

candy looking blue with chrome wheels. i was in a blue citroen :o and flashed you

Well i went down to Centre of Gravity to collect the car on Tuesday and took it for a drive. WOW! It was amazing! Chris had done a top job setting the car up and it was getting all the power on to the road and was handling fantastic. I had a problem with a really low biting clutch which i thought just needed bleeding out but apart from that all seemed well. The Z was struggling to catch the idle when decellerating from speed and pulling up so i nipped down to Thor where Peter plugged the laptop in and changed the idle parameters slightly, job done. He advised me to test it and pop back in the morning if there were any other issues. On Wednesday i got up and again was havi…

Sorry guys going to get a lot of questions from me for the next for weeks, as I've now started on my 300zx now its arrived home yesterday, Right i have a problem with my drivers side front light cluster, both lights turn on, but the front drivers side is very dim, both seem to be working just doesn't seem like enough power is getting to them, passenger side is working as it should.....ho you know what ill go get some photos and post them to show you what i mean..

The coolant overflow bottle located inside the passenger side wing in mine now has a hole in it due to my suspension set up letting the wheel just catch the very edge of it! i am looking at getting a smaller size bottle or alternatively getting one fabricated from aluminium that is slightly narrower. Anyone done this or any suggestions as to what to do?

whats happening about tommorrow sent you pm,s with no reply ????

Just having a nightmare trying to install the clutch pedal!!! Wires in the way and such a awkward place. Going to have to take the dash out tomorrow when ive calmed down Deep breaths :headvswal

My zed is over-fueling, was like this when i purchased it. So just wondering what may be the main cause. Will it require a fresh re-map? I assume over-fueling will be bad for the rebuilt engine:headvswal

Hi, I have recently finished my manual conversion, and the power light flashes (i haven't counted them) about 10-15 times when i start the engine, then goes out. I'm presuming that light is obsolete now, since the conversion, and it's flashing because it's missing one of the sensors from the auto box. Take the bulb out?

Guys is a must have, or is a bit over kill for the average enthusiast. Does the software come with a list of the relevant codes = faults to help with the fault finding cheers H

Hi all, Im in the process of sanding down and preping my 350Z calipers as they wasnt in the best condition with paint chips etc. I was just wondering whats the best method and paint to buy? I know it has got to be high temp paint but where is best place to buy the materials from? P.s i want to spray them and not use a brush for best results. Cheers Dan

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1291237.htm seen this zed for sale with low miles turns out it had a new engine fitted by Nissan so quick question do Nissan still have new z32 engines for sale or would it be new internal parts they fitted?

Bored at home waiting for the roofers to fix a leak so surfing the net....... http://www.modifiedcars-export-japan.jp/inventory/nissan.html Sorry if it's a repost Mark
