I am finally looking to upgrade my stock headlights to HIDs but am a little confused as to which ones to get.... ...my understanding is that there are different wavelengths which give off slightly different colour light and that some might even be illegal on a road car?? Does anyone have anymore info? I've had a look on DTA/Smithys but I'm still confused...:(

Right been reading loads on mods and things to do with the car but no one seems to say why it needs doing. As i have a 1991 car, what and why would i need to do this. Remove the AIV Relocating the Det sensor (not sure this even applies to me due to not having a turbo) Any other little tweaks and what not, if someone could say a list and why it would be beneficial would help a lot, still trying to get to grips with me new broom broom.

noticed today that my rad top hose is not full with water. ive bled the system alot but no joy. rad is topped up and bleed lets out water. i hope its not hte hg. the system is not pressurising much either. im quite confused as i would deem myself to be a very competant mechanic. im booked into zed world next weekend and wanted to resolve as many issues before hand to make life easyer for them and ensure i go away with a happy car. any ideas

Three parts to this question firstly is it better to polish all the engine alloy up or to go for a chroming? Are all the plenhams polished or do people chrome them as well? Lastly where can I send it all to be done?

Papa BG asked me to post up some pics of his pride and joy. So put your sun glasses on and enjoy!!!!!

There is currently on e*ay a set of Wilwood brakes with 345mm discs etc for what seems like a reasonable price. Does anyone on here have Wilwood brakes ? And other feedback would be much appreciated as I've never felt the standard set-up was quite good enough and these seem like a strong alternative for the money. There's also a full 350z Brembo set-up front and rear for £700. Are these a direct bolt on replacement on our cars ? Cheers Mark

I like spotting like this.... Having a bit of a pedal session, came along side a blue TT. slowed down and said hello, turns out he is a member on here!!!! You shouted your forum name think it was andyzx or andy300zx, sorry could hardly hear over the noise of two zeds next to each other. Nice zed mate.........

Spotted Anthony D 12.20 today bottom of the A449. what's she like?

Hello i was in my lwb tt in silver. I flashed and you put your hand up. Very nice car, looked like you had some parts with you. Damien

Hi Bought red stuff front pads and 280 x 30mm rotors for my '93 NA JDM and found that I couldn't get the pads on the rotor. When I measured my old ones they were 25mm. Confused cos I thought the NA and TT had same rotor. Rob

Happy Birthday mate, hope you have a great day! :dance::dance: Chris ;)

i have a 1996 Zed TT Auto and id like to know what the best air induction kit to put on it and were can i source one. and before i think about getting one would i notice any differant in the power as its powerfull enough or will it just drink more petrol than it already do :)

Well i'm off to lay my weary head down for the night now, in preparation for an early start for a long trip to those zed folk in Tamworth :D Who else am i gonna see there? Aiming to get there for shortly after 8am with Daz. Night all, Isaac :cool:

hi the rear driveshaft wheelside rubber boot has split has anyone changed this,could really do with a step by step guide.also if appears to difficult i'v seen universal split rubbers that you can glue together has anyone used these before and are they any good.

OMG just removing the engine is turning out to be really tricky she does not want to give you ANYTHING. Every single bolt is absolutely stuck in there :headvswal they either snap off they are so tight or round off making them near impossible to remove :nono:. When you work underneath her she either spits brake fluid, or power steering fluid on you. The drops grase and rust in your eyes in the hope that temporary blindness will make you give up for a bit. :eek:. Yesterday it took me three hours to remove three bolts holding the exhaust from the back of the O/S tub. I could not get at one of them as the starter bolts were almost welded in so needed a good soakin…

As above i drove back to have a look is very nice http://s933.photobucket.com/albums/ad179/sxylado2/?action=view&current=IMG00039-20090925-1733.jpg Marty

What is the original tyre speed rating for the zed TT ? I'm looking at some 265/30/R19 93W tyres...

Hi all whats the best oil to use in my 300zx tt i keep getting conflicting answers ?

Can someone in the know answer these questions: Are R33 and R34 front Brembos the same specification? I know that the mounting holes need to be drilled for the R34s, but are there any stopping/performance differences? Is there a difference in braking systems between V-Spec and non V-Spec Skylines? I've done a couple of searches but couldn't come up with the answers! Any help/pointers appreciated. CheerZ Steve :)

I was out for a pleasant drive when suddenly I heard an almighty crashing sound and vibration from under the car! My thoughts were that I'd blown something, I walked back along the road to find this... Which had caused this... If anyone has a 265/30/19 kicking around, please let me know. There is also mis-shaping to the rim which I know the tyre places will paint a picture of doom with. Alternatively, if you have a different profile tyre/width in a pair, I would also consider these too. They are for my rears so theres plenty of clearance. Finally is about my tyre valve, are these specialised ones or will local garages bleat about them? I coul…

Hi all! First night at Znationals here in Georgia. Small party last night, lots of nice cars here already! I have a lovely white Z32 to drive to Talladega raceway in Alabama in a minute. Nice and warm. Show day is tomorrow at Z1 Motorsports, race day is today. Should be fun. :) I bought another steering wheel too! (old skool) :)

Well I've booked my ticket today, where am I off to?
