Wheel help again please! 350z type
think you may have a little issue with offset, 35-42mm on 300zx, but as far as i know the stock offset on a 350z is supposed to be 30mm, I may be wrong. think the pcd and the bore are ok, if you get the actual model of whel, you can check it online, think antera's are 309s or 369s, something like that anyway

Plans for our cars that are 10year or older
cant see that ever happening myself to be honest, how many cars in england are over 10 years old???? what exactly happens to them when they get banned. thats a whole lot of cars to scrap. then cars that were lets say 8 yrs old would be worth peanuts, and an 8 yr old motor is a fairly modern vehicle. its just another case of overpayed do gooders point scoring for elections. it really is quite pathetic if you ask me, do the ppl who come up with this nonsense not realise this is the exact sort of thing that gets the hard working tax payer up in arms, and rightly so

Need supercar performance
we also suffer from grip problems, get one with splippers if you are going to try, but i suspect big money and tears

Need supercar performance
you will have to have an engine rebulid if you bhp gets towards the 400 mark, which it more than likely will, there no point trying to run high bhp with srock pistons, rods etc, as they end up in pieces, you could try going up to around 380 bhp then totally srtipping the car of all excess weight, then try it

Just had a shipping quote
what shipping company was that quote with dude, I'm a marine engineer, it will be cheaper going row row, but like you said someone has to drive it off, but its not as if they can go on a beano in your motor for the day, it will be confined to the port. you could try a general cargo ship, rather than a sole container ship, andrew wier do general cargo, they might be quite cheap, and open to negotiation.

Brake caliper recon
Yeah seen em on fleabay but i'm a little reluctant to buy from there, had anyone got these from there before???

Variable Vane Turbos
do these work on the same premise as a variable vane pump, with like a conical casing. if so. then problem areas will definitely be vane tips and springs. we use these onboard ships as central priming systems for centifugel pumps. and they get excessive wear on the vane tips which is essentially the sealing medium to increase the pressure

Brake caliper recon
hello all, Can someone advise the best place to get a brake caliper recon kit, got a feeling the pistons are seizing, as brake performance is down and getting worse, discs and pads look ok. dont really wanna pay out big money for a total brake upgrade just yet. cheers

This is so Frustrating!!!!
I dont mean to sound harsh, but taking two years to find a z without a spoiler????? surely it cant be that much of a hardship to take the damn thing off, and hey presto, no spoiler. amazing.

tic tic tic
most probable a lifter problem, i had the same on my z. got some "hydraulic lifter treatment" put half the bottle in the old engine oil, ran for a few days then flushed the engine and changed oil put abit more in with the new oil, and that seems to have done the trick. If that fails then you'll need to investigate further

Tension rods & lower arm cracks
i take it, it will be a good idea to poly bush the lower arms when i have them out
-
Tension rods & lower arm cracks
think thats what i'll do when i change em, i,ll weld another piece of plate in to give some extra strength also i'll think i'll change to rose jointed rods. This is getting expensive now, but the time ive done that i'll pretty much of changed the whole suspension, but oh well. thats old motors for you i suppose
