How much & where to buy??

as above you have pm regarding fri booking cheers steve

As usual the first person to guess the right answer wins five whole pounds :dance: Just received a package from japan for my zed. Whats in the package???

Right! I've pretty much decided on the rims I want. However, what I haven't decided on is what tyres to put on them. I was thinking that for the front I'd put on a 255/35/18 on a 8.5" width rim. For the rear, a 275/30/18 on a 9.5" width rim. The offset measurements for the fronts are 30 and the rears are 35. What I really want to know is if anyone else is running this combo, or very close to it, and if they've found that something rubs on this or that. As for variables, everything in the arches is currently stock.

Malpas Road in between Newport and Cwmbran yesterday at 23:15 Swear i seen a 300z on the opposite side of the road looked in the mirror and you cant mistake those lights.

dark blue z on the a13 [dagenham] towards central london around 10 at night [13/10/09] i waved to ya was in a white z looked nice and tidy

Anyone know who sells nice stuff to put all your wires in, this lot make heat resistant conduit that is slit so no need to go removing and re joining the connectors. Might give the wires longer life but im really not sure if it looks cool or like something from the Dr Whos prop department. :rolleyes: What do you think? http://www.agriemach.com/default.php?cPath=81

In short, I have a complete, brand new exhaust system to install. Do I absolutely, categorically, 100% need to remove the engine to replace the exhaust manifolds? Or has anyone done it with the engine in situ before?

Spotted a blue wide arch z, at hayling island holiday park. M-reg, anyone on here?

Remove the centre panel,, once this is done you need to seperate the parts. There are 4 x small screws securing the top edge, remove and keep safe. Using a hairdryer, you need to heat up the entire edge of the panel, to loosen up the black glue. Once done, remove the '3oozx'' logo paint, it is raised on the inside, i used a stanley knife and scrapped away the paint to reveal clear plastic. Next i sprayed the inside rear panel chrome to match the rear lights. Now using a 12v El Panel, i got this this from ebay and is availible in all colours, the thickness of paper, and comes with a 12v convertor, it needs to cover the inside of the 300zx logo, …

Here is a little gem, guy from the US is over here for 3 years and had his zed transported over at a cost of $2,500 needed it modded to pass a UK MOT, some very subtle differences but had to take a photo of the seats belts, double retracting and double length!! had it explained to me that the reason its so long is so you can get in and out without unclicking the belt.....or maybe other reasons ;) Sure Funky si has seen many of these on his US travels :hyper: Jeff TT

at the bottom of snatchwood road coming from blaenavon. Thought someone had nicked my car as it was just round the corner from me but it was a series 1 nearest I've seen one to my home who is ya

Hi everyone. Taken my zed for MOT today and it has failed on 'Nearside Rear wheel steering connection has excessive play'. Can anyone translate to me what this means? I.e. what needs replacing and how much is it going to cost me? :wack: P.S JeffTT if you read this - been phoning Zedworld to try and get a quote on how much you could do this for all day but had no answer - if you read this contact me via this thread. Cheers, James
