Faded bit is eliminated with Smithy's Fuel Line Kit. The front pipe is the one that always leaks.

- 4 tyres - adjustable front upper arms (Powertrix/SPL) - adjustable front tension rods (Powertrix/SPL) - adjustable rear upper arms (Powertrix/SPL) or Shim Kit - new springs (oem or Eibach/Tein/Avo) - new shocks (oem or KYB/Koni) be silly not to while its apart just a small step further and fully poly-bush it, some Whiteline ARBs and some braided brake lines :cool: :wack:

:) no problem you can check your ecu codes manually to start i reckon. Find the plug in the drivers footwell near the bonnet release handle. Jump the two end pins together (hair-clip, paper-clip, short wire) you will see the engine warning light start flashing. Count the short and long flashes and that gives the codes. 55 (5 long, 5 short) is all clear. (bottom 2 pins on their own in this pic)

If you go for adjustable uppers then you need adjustable tension rods with the hard rose-joint or there will be trouble. As for the back you can get the adjustable uppers, or a shim kit. USA ebay can get you a shim kit for a good price. As for the arms, you arent gonna get a better price or service than Smithys-Place ;), no need to shop around you got the best place first time! :dance: But there must also be a cause to your problem. You should be looking artound for a set of new springs at the least. Expensive thing: camber! :wack:

Hmmmm if you were a bit closer I would come round with a Conzult. I may be passing through Reading next week so if you are still in trouble there is a possibility I could stop by and hook the laptop up.

Time to have an updated list methinks ;)

Nice one, I want to see vids of 300zx members, seen plenty of random ones. :) You all go on about how easy it is to drift. Show! :)

Get them to agree the value before you take out the policy. Solved.

Some guy on z-club does this. A quick search will come up with his name. Hope this helps.

Having seen Legrath's 'attempt' :rofl: come to light. (i'm sure you are much better now :)) Just wondered: has anyone got any videos of THEMSELVES drifting that they'd like to share? I'd personally like to say, i'm a shit drifter!

try big-red.com or something. They refirb your calipers and powder coat them red.

made me laugh out loud some of those! class!

I think if I was to sell it, i'd put it back to standard, especially with zed parts > zed prices these days. I'd hate to though. Planning and building my car has been a major thing for the past year, but i'm only approaching being half done. When i'm in Japan i will be most definitely be on the lookout for zed bits for everyone here, be sure of that! :) Damn the Belgians for being LHD :(

:rofl: Cheers Steve! :) Dont worry, i'm not starting until September. Thing is I dont want to stop spending on the zed, I have it all planned out!

Cheers for the replies guys. :) Thing is, after Japan i'm in Brussels permanently. So how long can i survive with LHD. It really is a double edged sword this job!

Belgium isnt the problem, I'll drive it there, and hope I survive in a LHD country. It's the 2 years in Japan thats will see the end. :cry:

Well I have just landed the job of my dreams. But how will this affect my Zed? In September I start work in Toyota's Research and Development site. I will be working on Body Design, will involve a lot of travel, especially to Japan. I get to work on their new body designs, and also get to visit tons of motor shows around the world. :dance: Now the bad news. :( I will be based in Brussels, Belgium for the first year, then moving to Japan for nearly 2 years. Well actually thats great news for me! But not for my Z. I am nowhere near finished building it to my spec, having spend thousands to get where I am. Belgium being L.H.D. and Japan being on the other side of the world is going to cause Z problems. I dont think importing my import BACK to Japan is a good idea! :rofl: I will probably take it to Brussels for the year and see what it's like. But Japan opens up much wider options. What do you lot reckon?

Me too! :dance: :dance: :dance: Actually just noticed the date :( I move to Toyota Europe on 3rd September. And this isnt even my region I have just noticed too! :slap:

grrr all you old people!!!!!!! :wack: :wack: :wack:

Its a Nomad Racing piece. The same as Z Centre sells.

Demisting in a flash...

Thats what I'm worried about, the Pump control interface. (btw I have a JWT chip.)

Thats the subframe bush, there are 4. Complete pain in the ass to remove. And requires removing the whole rear subframe/axle. Well worth doing though! Upgrade to Energy Suspension Polyurethane. Also you could add some subframe solid spacers to firm it up further.

Cant wait for the parade. :) I'm sure the pace will be right and we will all have fun. As for track days, no chance i'm taking the zed out into the bedlam on one of those, sorry! :) Will enjoy the show though.

I'm guessing due to their price compared to OEM. I am not necessarilly looking for a high flow pump, just a new one that works. Some peope say the Walbro doesnt work too well with the Nissan control box which is why I am hesitant. The cheaper "OEM standard" one seems to be compatible with a huge range of cars. Which leads me to the 'one size fits nothing very well' conclusion that it may not be a good replacement.
