veilside01702

Hi, has anyone got these and the clips needed to fit them as my car has never had either fitted...... so need everything in one go.......

I need a good condition N/S rear light unit as I bought a set a while ago and it arrived smashed...... One without any chips or cracks please.....

I am after a 99 spec front bumper, even a damaged one will be considered.......... Has anyone got one they will part with please...... Need to get started on the veilside removal..... :wink:

Just dug this off a website for you...... You really do need to make sure the wiring is correct size to take the current as incorrect or too smaller cable can heat up and melt..... Also make sure the correct fuse rating is used where the cable attaches to the battery...... Not rated too high for the cable..... If the cable will only take 50amps, do not fit a fuse rated more than 50amp...... Hope this helps.... Size matters for current flow What gauge (thickness) wire to use for power cabling depends on how much electrical current your system will try to consume. To determine the approximate current draw (in amperes) of your amplifier (or amplifiers), you must calculate first the total power of the system (multiply the number of channels by the number of RMS watts per channel). If you have multiple amps, add up the total power figures to arrive at a grand total. Next, double your grand total power figure. Then, divide by 13.8. Total RMS Wattage x 2 (Inverse of Amp Efficiency) ÷ 13.8 Volts = Current Draw in Amperes (explanation below) The resulting figure is your system's approximate maximum current draw. Compare this number to the numbers in the "Amperes" column in the chart below. Cross-reference with the cable length (the distance from your battery to the amp mounting location) to determine which gauge of cable you need. Cable gauge selection chart Once you have estimated the total amperage of your system using the described formula, determine the proper power and ground wire gauge from this chart based on the length of power cable your installation requires. A more detailed explanation Here is an explanation about the formula we use, in case you want more details. Calculating the amp's total power is straightforward, but the other two parts can be confusing. No amp is 100% efficient First of all, why do we double the total power figure? That's because the typical analog amplifier is about 50% efficient. That means about half of the power it generates is turned into audio output while the other half of the power is lost as heat. So if your amplifier is putting out 400 watts, it's actually drawing about 800 watts of power from its source, and the amp's wiring needs to be big enough to handle that draw. (Digital amps are much more efficient in comparison, but it's still safest to go with the larger wire size.) Automotive voltage is neither 12 volts nor 14.4 volts And the 13.8? Yes, vehicles have a 12-volt electrical system, but we're assuming that the vehicle is running, which means its alternator is generating additional current, which typically bumps up the voltage to about 13.8 volts. This is a better real-world representation of the vehicle's electrical supply. Dividing by 12 results in a larger number, which could point to a larger wire gauge, but it's often in the same color range in the chart. Resistance increases with length The reason different cable lengths bear different ratings is because the electrical resistance, inherent in all wire, builds up as the cable gets longer, until it forces the voltage down below a useable level. At that point, up-sizing the power cable will restore the voltage to its intended level. Don't choke the flow of power Finally, according to our tech support guys, the primary performance limitation in most amplifier installations is in the current delivery — either a weak ground or insufficient wire gauge. Installing too small of a wire gauge results in poor performance, potentially shorter service life of connected components (your amplifier and speakers), and a potential safety hazard. On the other hand, installing too large a wire gauge doesn't really have a downside, but there is the potential for better performance. Obviously, there's no need to buy 2-gauge wiring when 10-gauge will do. That kind of overkill would be a waste of money. But if the chart could lean either way between two sizes, going with the larger wire size would be the smart choice.

I have just found a few parts on this site that I have used a couple of times and wanted some opinions before taking the plunge and ordering some parts?? Side mount intercoolers...... http://www.aliexpress.com/item/90-96-Nissan-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO-Z32-SIDE-MOUNT-BOLT-ON-ALUMINUM-INTERCOOLER/1025971675.html and MAF........ http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-300zx-Z32-80mm-AFM-MAF-Air-Flow-Meter-22680-30P00/2037951851.html They also have the usual suspension and track rod bits seen on ebay.......

Happy Birthday.........:balloon::balloon:

That or Spin could join the fantastic 4............ lol

Just a few questions I would ask..... it all depends on what speaker and what you are running through it power wise (in Watts)?

Just don't smoke while doing it mate........... or you will make BBC news........ lol

That sounds like you have some experience in using strippers and leaving sticky stuff Mark................ lol

Only problem with that Dave is most people don't have an orange kitchen so wouldn't have that in their cupboard!!! :clown::lol:

I don't think the feathers will glue back that easily..........lol.......

Happy Birthday Ian.........:balloon::balloon::happybday::balloon::balloon:

Hi Dan, my 2p worth would be to see if you can get back a decent amount for the parts...... Just don't give them away as from what I remember they have hardly been used at all...... If not then wrap them up and box them in case you decide to upgrade in the next few years..... After seeing the blood sweat and tears you put into Ted, I was absolutely gutted for you...... Hopefully will catch up with you sometime as you were one of the people that gave me the kick up the bum I needed to get my Z back on the road..... lol Hope the wedding goes well......

Yay...... I got to use the WTF button....... lol.... Anniversaries are not a good enough excuse........ Hell I met up with Spin Doctor on my 1st anniversary in Norwich..... lol

We meeting in a pub or a Dairy??.........lol I have just managed to book off work...... So can't wait to see you all...... and get some idea's for the styling after the bodykit comes off....... lol

rubber mallet and give it a tap....... lol

I'm up for that if I am not working peeps........... Maybe I can actually get to chat to Joel properly this time......... lol

The owner is a member on here...... Really nice guy when I bought my spare T-tops from him I picked them up and had a good Z chat.....lol He does love his Z's.....

Hoppy Birthday........:whistling::balloon::balloon:

Hoppy Birthday........:whistling::balloon::balloon:

She does look stunning Lee......... can't wait to see her up close...... when you fitting the veilside kit??..........lol

This may sound really stooopid....... But is there any way we could have a technical meet and have an experienced Z specialist run through basic work on a Z.....? Like boost leak testing, setting up timing, diff oil change, electrics, etc...... ???? The usual things that have wear and tear and we would all like to know how to do properly..... I would personally like to see family orientated events, so I can bring my wife and kids (Beaulieu)...... As well as a few shows I can attend without the wife and kids (Santapod, Trax)..... a bit of a mix...... lol JAE...... JAE was really good due to the people who attended....... It would be nice to have a board up with pictures of the people who attend with their forum name and their real names to help newcomers...... The marquee needed banners or something letting everyone know who we are.... the flag things are good, but felt a little drowned out by all the other clubs almost shouting who they were with loads of advertising up........ I noticed other clubs brought bean bags and even sofa's for the evening get togethers...... and all seemed to have music on the go with a fire of some sort....... could we have a fire pit and music??? I enjoyed the film we watched.....'Rush'....... the company and even more so that someone remaining nameless managed to put the projector upside-down.......... lol Are we going for drinks, music, lights and night out orstaying in with a Film, chatting, a few bevies, glass of wine, tea coffee??? We could do both with a film earlier, followed by music and lights in the tent and a cosy seating area outside so people can sit round a fire and just chat......??? Only a few suggestions....
