Need some wheels doing onto my car Been offered some 18" rota gtr's in black so if someone can PS some onto my car to see how its gonna look :) Cheers Mike

Just about to pressure wash my engine, is this a wise thing to do? Only had a car a few weeks so doing my best to make the car look as best it can be.

My code is KH2 for the paint, as you can see below it is Grey. I was wondering if anyone has managed to find aerosols in this colour, as I need to spray a patch on my sill after having welded it?

caz saw you on her way back from picking up my gearbox for the z (she's a good gal 250 mile round trip :shock:) tell she loves the car as much as I. anyway black tt m25 approx 4pm reg G767 wgx caz was the dodgy looking bird in the battered green clio looking gormless at you like an impression of the exorcist (her words not mine!!!):rofl:

Mine is a silver colour inside and im just sticking white dials in it so they might not show up very well so thinking of painting it black. Are they black as standard or has mine been painted silver?

i had the car for the day today, absolutely loved it anyway i've noticed a few things that i wanted to pick your brains about before i mention it to the hubby, dont want him moaning that i broke his car. firstly when giving it a bit of oomph over a little stretch (prob about 100 yards) i smelt exhaust fumes in side the car, not really strong but enough to smell, why would this be? secondly never even sitting in a zx before let alone drive along in one, i can feel every bump in the road, are they like this anyway or does the suspension need replacing? any advice will be gratefully received :D thanks in advance

hi, i'm still fairly new to the 300, i know nothing about them to be honest:( i've got a 1990 tt, and when it gets warm it sounds/feels like it's running on 5 cylinders. when it's cold it's fine, apart from cutting out from time to time! i'm going to change the plugs at the weekend, to see if this helps, but was wondering what else to look for. thanks in advance.

Anyone here from Spain spotted one flyin !! the other week on the N340. It was the only Jap sports car spotted in two weeks and it was a Zed , Quality :dance::nana2::dance:

I've been to look at a zed TT tonight that has the occasional bit of smoke at idle + sometimes on startup to see why it does it....It has had the pcv valves done.Does not always smoke, hard to say exactly if it was blue or grey? My problem is, its got a balance bar between the exhausts. Any simple ways to tell? Remove the inlet to turbo pipe? :confused:

May be of interest to somebody - I would love it myself for a V8 project but can't spare the dosh at the mo lol. :cry: ebay clicky

Just want to say thanks very much for helping rebuild the engine on my car all I can say is top fella, thanks also to Ellen for putting up with me! Good luck with the 300ZX repair business as well!!!

Popped down the bank this morning and handed in some cash into Lloyds TSB 300zx.co.uk account, used my forum name as a reference, how long do i have to wait to become a subscribed member? I cant PM zx-eyes as its not saying im registered. it should also be an instant payment due to not using bank transfer / paypal / check

Hi, Just wondering if anyone could tell me where exactly this is on the car and how to get to it. Is it an easy job to change it? any info much appreciated. Thanks

Sprayed my new 18s silver the other week but they dont show the deep dish so well. I hear you can buy chrome effect paint in a can. Any one used this and know where i can get this. Your help most appreciated.

can any one point me where to get some upper links my struts seem to move at low speed. thanks

I came accross this vid on youtube of the new movie, it features a 240z as well as a 300zx, NSX, GTR R34, looks cool! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EwE15wZT7M&feature=player_embedded#

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.
