  1. Thanks for the reply Vini. I hadnt realised it was as complex as that. I think i will pop and see him and see what he can suggest - if not then i can live with it (it will be divorce if i spend any more this year) thanks again dave
  2. Hi folks, i sent my zed in for a full blow over after fitting the new spoiler and bumper and when i picked it up it seemed excellent. Its only now with the better weather and different lighting i noticed that i can still see swirls in the paint - although very feint it is consistent all over the car (almost like extremely light scratches). Is this to be expected or am i expecting too much. I did approach 3 or 4 places for the price which was £1500 (not inc vat) which they were all about that price - but he was recommended. Any views or advice greatly appreciated.
  3. Hi, 2 years ago i had an "ecu upgrade" not sure but i think thats the same thing from jeff at zed world. I thought it made a massive difference compared to standard tt and much more enjoyable drive. However, i dont know how this compares to others. hope that helps
  4. thanks for the advice boldy - worked a treat. cheers dave
  5. Thats great - you must be a mind reader as i was going to ask about the wattage. Thanks for the response much appreciated
  6. i fitted the lambo light conversion 2 weeks ago before taking the car for full respray. When i picked the car up and got it home i noticed the lights are playing up - it seems to be blowing bulbs (although they dont look blown) but as soon as i put a spare in their ok again. The brake light does not seem brighter than the driving lights (when i have lights on you cant notice the brake lights. Is it possible that i have wired the brake lights and the drivng lights the wrong way round and what could cause the bulb blowing all the time. Hope this makes sense - any help much appreciated
  7. thanks mate i will give that a try - i will be using tigerseal to bond and seal. Having no experience with fibreglass i was unsure whether it would bend or would just crack and split (the latter knowig my luck).thank sagain
  8. Hi Guys, I would much appreciate some help on a couple of questions. i am in the process of fitting the lambo conversion from zcentre. I had to modify the brackets to bolt the panel on to which is no problem - but have noticed that the gap at either end is about 5mm each side. do i need to fill this or once bonded and bolted just leave it. The panel also is proud at the bottom about 3/4 mm - what is the best way to get this to sit flush without damaging the panel. I am assuming that the wiring is straight forward. I am working long hours at present in an area with no mobile signal so cant really try luke - just wandered if anyone had experienced the same and overcome these problems. Any help much appreciated as ever cheers
  9. I've just fitted mine - and it sounds excellent - great preformance as well
  10. series 2 i think (1991)
  11. I have just fitted a set and they are excellent - well worth the money
  12. ive just decatted although got the pipes from ebay (twin divorced downpipes) from 2fast2cool. unbelievable difference in throttle response and spool up and best mod so far - notice your running mongoose exhaust as well - awesome sound when done and only cots me £130
  13. It sounds the business - had the car two years and always put it off (worried about the turbo seal debate) - i was getting cheesed off with the turbo lag but these spool up so much faster and seems more responsive - with hardly any lag
  14. Hi guys I finally fitted some decat pipes and although i was sceptical about buying from ebay (stores.ebay.co.uk/2fast2cool2 Exhausts) they were exceptional quality, fitting and customer service. I must admit i did not enjoy the 12 hours it took to do (my first time doing anything on my zed) - but it has got to be one my best mods and so far no sign of any blue smoke - touch wood. The thread was just to say thanks for all the useful hints and advice - couldnt of done it without this site Cheers
  15. thanks for the advice guys it did hekp me big time - drivers side done now in process of passenger side Thanks once again
  16. In my stupidity i thought i would tackle the drivers side first as this was supposed to be the hardest (damn right) - i havent attempted passenger side yet - i just cannot believe the lack of space - surely there must be a "knack" but i cant find it - so peed off
  17. i couldnt wait to have my decats fitted so i am attempting it myself - have taken out master cylinder - dropped straight cat pipe and have removed the pig of a bolt on the pre cat - but i cannot fpr the life of me get to the one nearest to me - its fouled by the heat shield. Have removed two bolts to the heat shield but i cannot get anything on the last one - i get a spanner on it from underneath and cant get my hand with any leverage - has anybody any tricks that i am overlooking - have given up for tonight but would love some ideas to beat it tom. Cheers dave
  18. I was interested in getting one a while ago. I am sure that you can screw the new "skin" from where the number plate sits and also on the sides behind the red reflectors - remove them first - once they are out you can then get a G clamp in to help bond together (once screwed and glues). I am also sure they use a strong bonding agent called tigerseal or seakaflex. A Great bloke to talk to is Luke at zcentre - i was going to get one from him but changed my options on bodykit - he is very helpful (still got different kit from him). Cheers
  19. Hi, just recieved my decat system that i got from e bay (must say seems excellent). I was only expecting straight decat pipes to fit to existing downpipes but it has the pre cats as well - cant fit one without the other as the new pre cats are longer. Seems an ok job apart form the upper 2 bolts that bolt to the turbo,s - any advice how to get to these.
  20. Hi, i have the same gauges and would like to use the existing sensor - but do you connect the gauge wire to the wires at the back of instrument cluster or clip the connector under the bonnet and connect there - if behind the cluster is it an easy enough job (which wires are they) Cheers
  21. the only contact information i can see is email only - unless anyone has his number - would much prefer talking over the order etc cheers
  22. ROLY replied to a post in a topic in General Discussions - 300ZX Related
    I know its easy to consider the closest garage but believe me it is always worth travelling to get the job done by people who love the cars - regardless of the inconvenience to yourself - i used to travel 250 miles to get mine done but now i have found one sooo much closer
  23. Thanks -seems good kit - just concerned at lack of response - is he still trading?
  24. thanks for that i will bare that in mind - 2nd thoughts perhaps not really worth the risk then cheers
  25. getting a few bits ordered ready for a full respray - like the look of the monza rear spoiler at 300zx styling but they seem very slow in responding to enquiries - dont want to order and then never get the part or have to wait too long - any body had dealings - guidance much appreciated
