hey guys,

 

ive been working my ass off rebuilding a TR7 engine and body restoration aswell,

 

so now ive got about 500, to get my z thru a mot, taxed and insurance deposit payed

 

when i first got her, i put her thru a Mot, but i abandoned it,

 

this is what i know,

 

headlight bulbs needed replacing,

 

ive looked at ebay bulbs,

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-90-Osram-NightBreaker-Plus-Xenon-Bulbs-H1-448-Main-Headlight-Light-/290644857374?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3A300+ZX&hash=item43abc8921e

 

im not sure if thats all i need? surely thats not the main beam and the high beam, i took a bulb out and its only got 1 filiment by the looks of it, its got one prong, and a small chrome bulb looks just like those on the pic on the ebay add.

 

i wanna get some hids too if i can, could sum1 please tell me what hid kit i need. around £30, and wat other bulbs i need.if at all,

 

also the side repeaters are green :( shocker, ive found some clear universal ones which ill just clip in for the mot.

 

i need a tyre on the back,i got a pre worn for £20, but fink i need another on the front cos its got a chunk peelin away on the sidewall, shame cos its a michy pilot sport see if i can get another cheap pre worn....

 

i need another drivers window black box thingy as the window wasnt working and theres been a bodged wire inside this black box which im holding responsible, dont spose anyones got a spare?

 

this is the biggy... the seats.. the front seats and the rear have been taken from a silvia s14, and the subframes have been bodged to fit, so the front two holes line up as usual but the back has had cut up parts of the original welded to it to sort of fit the threaded bolts in the floor, thing is, they dont, so theyve welded a wheel bolt to it to stop it sagging under the weight. so the seats are on the piss and wobble wen u shake them, also the rear seats, the back part u lean against, its not wide enough to bolt onto the 2 brackets. its about half inch out but the shoulded bolts are barely holding it on by them clamping the seat!! terrible, also the u bend bracket that wud go into the seat to hold it up dont line up, so gona have to move that over, and also bolt the bottem part of the seat down sumhow too. and re fab the front subframes.

 

also...rear fog lamp dont work, but i think i figured that out after i found a lil switch thats been added next to the guages, turnd the fog on lol.

 

thats it cos i abandoned the mot,

 

im gona get under her and check for rust, possible weld spots.

 

and also i reckon its gona need new pads cos the discs look like the pads arnt making full contact. and bit tite on cash, will get some discs soon as i can.

 

im hoping nothing too major needs doin. and that i can get some parts fairly easily,

 

if anyone has any pointers, or can help in any way id love to hear them :thumbup:

 

thanks in advance guys!

Hi mate,

 

Headlamps are H1 in the main beam but the dipped depends on whether UK or J-spec. UK cars have H3 dipped beam but imports are H3C.....

 

....although if you're upgrading to HIDs then you just need the H3 kit for dipped - whether UK or import.

 

As for your front tyre - yes, a chunk peeling off the sidewall will be an MOT failure. What size do you need - post it up as someone might be able to help?

 

As for the other bits, I'm sure others will be able to advise you on those shortly....

 

Richard:yes:

I have something to say............ It's better to burn out than to fade away..... :tt2:
