Where is it best to buy from (with lead for laptop) there seem to be a few places selling various packages - is there a recommended place to buy from?

My tweed interior is now starting to look 'tired'. What are the best options to improve the look. A full retrim kit, seats, door cards, centre console, dash surround etc is over 1K from zcentre! What do trimmers charge approx or what have you guys done to re-invigorate the interior of an old Z!!

I like this commercial which was used in the US. In particular I like where it flashes the Porsche to pull over and let it by on the Autobahn :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHvm-dMUaFo&NR=1

has anyone removed there abs?:confused: i`ve got a 91 uk tt manual:hyper: and the abs has never worked as it should from day 1

I have a dilema guys. I have an E30 318is and a spare engine. I have an R5 turbo. I WANT a 300zx! I would like a 200sx i cant sell the bimmer, but the 5 is worth about £1500 insurance is no longer a problem. This is my dilema, my choices are. 1. Supercharge the spare engine, 2. Get a volvo 440 turbo engine and put it in the 5 3. Sell the 5 and get a 200sx 4. Or sell the 5 and get a 300zx Ive looked at an auto 200sx and 300zx and was much more impressed with the Z. I was wondering what you guys would do? I need your opinions especially between the 200 and 300 please, as your the nissan experts ofcourse ;)

Hi all, my rear arches are getting worse and its time to get them sorted, anyone got a step by step repair guide? is it best to rub down and fill or cut out and replace? Regards Andy

Heading towards Saltford,I was a passenger in a friend's van, only caught a glimpse as I looked up.

Finally............... my first ZED sighting, unfortunately I was driving a Celica GT, so would have been invisible to the driver of the Z. This is the first Z I've seen on the road so would like to meet other Zed heads near me for help and advice!!

Thanks to marcus :cool: gave them a quick clean up they could do with a *****cking with a buffing wheel when I get chance but look ok for now. they drive a hell of a lot smoother than my old ones too think my stock ones must have needed balancing

this light is coming on today when I press brake pedal. Didn't notice it the other day when I picked it up from the body shop but I pressume its from the perspex tail light panel having a brake light in before(red fairladyZ panel) and now it doesn't cos it broke at the body shop. Can anyone confirm this is what it is and I haven't knocked a brake sensor changing my wheels . If it is a brake light out bulb how can I get round it now I no longer have one other than putting a bulb in and tucking the bulb and cable away somewhere.

Junction 10 southbound. I came onto the motorway in front of you but you were only going about 60 so it was hard to allow you to pass and see much more of the car. I think the reg ended 300X

Put some commercial Unipart injector cleaner in my fuel, filled it up with super 99 and now its smokes on full boost, what looks to be like white smoke... Is this headgasket? Turbo`s? Turbo seals or something else?? Thanks guys, Dan

Fitted the exhaust today it sounds sweet thankyou very much :duffer::duffer: it didnt take me too long to get back traffic was better i cocked up ebay and cant seem to leave any feedback sorry

how do i top up the coolant and how much is a safe amount to use?? :dance:

Heres why.

The speed sensor is from a UK TT Manual and with the sensor out, held in a vice and the cog turned as fast as possible by passing a rope around it a multi meter showed 0.1-0.2 volt. My questions; what should the reading be?Is there another way to test it ? + how do you disemble it to inpect it ? Cheers Rich

my uk 300zx tt manual will not start or fire,i have replaced ptu and cas,still no luck.i can smell fuel so fuel is getting through.does anybody have any advice?thanks

Hi guys, i have searched, but cant get definite answer. I have rung a few places but get the usual jokers wanting to replace everything for r134a, but i have done this before on old bmw's+ just vacuumed out the r12+ changed fittings+ refilled?, which i thought you can do on a zed.Mines a 1991 btw. I now have a guy with r24 drop in gas, but i've seen posts saying its not very good. I'm confused?? :headvswal

hiya dude after a long and patient wait on your part I have a little good news but I have posted here as I can't send you pics otherwise. The amp is out after a few minor cuts and stab wounds:headvswal but as you see from the second pics as my car had aftermarket rears in someone has beaten me to the amp plug you were after :mad: and cut it off and taped it up so let me know if you still want the amp fella

Looking into zed ownership again :D Now this time i wont have the funds to throw money at it and tune its t1ts off so will be keeping it a stage 1 zed and enjoying it. So question, do i just keep it and make it look nicer ie wheels etc or do i strip its arse off as much as i can to make it as light as possible and track it? One thing i never ended up doing was either tracking or dragging any of my zeds :( always had the intention of doing it but was always breaking them or building them further LOL The other questions is am i mad?? is zed ownership again for the 6th time a stupid idea :rofl:

I kind of need a bit of advice, from someone in the 'Know How'.... Any one on here fancy a chat about something driving related? :nono: By the way, I am completely innocent, wasn't in my Zed, was in a 1.0 Micra! Thing is, the L.A.P.D. (the FEDS) aren't seeing like that, so I'm after a bit of advice........... Free half hour consultation? :rofl: Tudor...
