Massive car jolt solved (I think)
Thats an apexi universal gasket which was normally supplied with universal apexi intakes, only the specific z32 cone came with the correct gasket. Clean both surfaces and a wee bead sealant will do the job. Smithy

Doubt it mate, whilst i dunno size of 200sx ones, don't forget ours is 2 with 1each for feeding a 1.5cc engine Whereas the 200sx is of cousre a 1.8 and 2 litre, so i would expect theres are bigger. Ours are around 54mm, the opening on the plenum is about 58-59mm smithy

350z brake upgrade
Right okay, if the car in the scrappie has Brembo calipers on the brakes, then take them and the discs and fit them, no brackets needed. The above are 324mm sized discs If it has standard Nissan calipers it really ain't worth the grief as they only 296mm sized discs and you'll have to get brackets made up to suit, not a simple cheap job tbh. In short though, larger sized disc with standard calipers can be an improvement, however 324mm is the largest i would go personally with brackets. hth Smithy

350z brake upgrade
It would be easier and cheaper going the skyline GTR33-34 route. Same size discs at 324mm, the brackets are easily available, well they used to be, loads of options for different brand discs. 350Z brackets are usually only sourced from the US, not many options for discs and they are also 324mm not 320mm, yes you can fit the rears but involves a lot of work, only know 1 guy here who's done it, search and you will see what he had to do. hth smithy

Targa Drains
Maybe do some pics as you do it and show others mate, cos it really is a bad design! Sadly i forgot when i did mine and no longer have the car.. smithy

Targa Drains
As Vodkashots says and what a bloody crap idea for the sills as they don't have a drain pipe out like the rears currently do. I removed the wheel arch, took the side repeater off, fitted a half inch 90 degree elbow to the existing tube then some (about 16ins) half inch rubber pipe until it sat flush with the top of inner sill, then a half inch to 10mm plastic reducer and just popped it through, water now flows down no probs and out through a hard plastic tube rather than sitting inside the sill area.

What Turbo?
If someone is doing the refurb for you have them "clock" one of them as obviously the Zed has left and right sided turbo's. Smithy

quick question
The TB22 is from the T25 family of turbo's so to speak, they ain't identicle and am sure share many parts. The TB22 is no longer supplied as far as i know, so a straight forward standard T25 is the replacement. smithy

This has bugged me since I joined the site.
Christ sort it quick, i sense a riot brewing here, thankfully if any looting starts it will only result in a lot of broken monitor screens!!!! Smithy

Zed OEM turbo's are TB22 mate. No idea if T25 internal parts are the same. Smithy

engine check light on poor running
It will run like a bag of shite, not known anyone to drive with a knackerd chip, generally it over fuels things. I know i would lol smithy

engine check light on poor running
Yep you've developed a fault which has put things in safety mode. Usual suspects are the Maf, Temp sensor, ECU or chip. Diagnostic will show yer the way. Oh and you had a desoldered stock nissan chip? Smithy

Door open light always on .....
Lol yup, then with all dorrs closed look inside boot from inside car, hey presto you know 1 way or another! smithy
-
Door open light always on .....
well on mine it was the boot/tailgate and by loosening the 3 bolts on the boot and moving slighly downwards so the boot shut tighter, it worked. The bolts however didn't retighten so had to use a couple fresh ones as the thread was worn. If it is the tailgate, the boot light should be on eh? smithy

How did you check the tailgate switch? smithy

peter andre
Must confess i think he's a good enough guy and seems fairly genuine. As regards the show though, don't forget that manager of his is really good at her job, clearly she thought the idea up for great PR for him and his company and it's certainly worked too. Think she was the same manager that Kerry Katona had and she worked wonders for her too, until as expected Katona cocked it up! lol smithy

Problems With My 300zx...
That ain't no 10 minute job mate, and tbh is very common to be a tooth out when done by someone who isn't that experienced in doing them. Your pretty close to Coleshill, just get it over there and be sorted and checked over alls good. smithy
