  1. A body shop will use a proper plastic filler, its available from your local Brown Brothers and made by Plastic Padding.
  2. That true, if you do them smooth and regret it then its a lot cheaper to have them stonechipped as u can go over the top of the paint, but if its stonechipped and u want to go back to smooth .. MEGABUCKS.
  3. Personally I think it needs to be smooth, I have never seen skirts painted with the textured paint, I would have them painted smooth and maybe go back later to have the rest smoothed out, but I agree it will look odd if you look at the door and as you work your way down it will go to textured paint then go back to smooth. I think Mr Visa would have to thrown at the paint shop in my case as she has already taken a chunk out of my bank account and there is loads more I want to do, Ive just got to learn to be patient I guess.

  5. Me to, targas off on the way home at 3 this afternoon, think most people must have looked and thought sad git... who cares ... lol
  6. Cost me £100 but I believe the Zcentre does one for about £110 plus vat which would be suitable, to be fitted I guess you would be looking about £250 parts and labour, depends who you go to, trying to find someone that knows the 300 and you can trust to work on it is the hardest part tho, my particular car didnt have a seperate engine or an autobox oil cooler (i think this is right for the N/A autobox cooling is done thru the radiator and this gets blocked stopping the flow of oil) so I fitted an autobox cooler as all you really need to do is undo the pipes going into the rad and plumb them into the oil cooler and will fit an engine oil cooler later as I figured the autobox one was more important, if you need anymore details let me know.
  7. fitted one to my N/A as I have read so much about the autobox being the weakest link and saying "goodbye", I guess if your not doing many long runs it might be fine, but cost me £100 and really is a doddle to fit so I decided it was the best thing to do.
  8. My 9 year old son just did this and got 93, word warrior, and he guessed a lot and got them wrong, do you mensa guys think this is a good example of an IQ test?
  9. 136 facts curator, im in the same class as Bill Gates so how come im not rich??? must be because I own Zed and it takes it all .. lol
  10. I believe they cover most applications, and if Mcgard list them, Halfords can get them, Mcgard were very helpful for me recently on an application for a 300zx with aftermarker wheels and Halfords ordered them in for me and arrived withing 4 days direct from Germany, and at no extra charge so I was very impressed, Richard.
  11. I thought it might be marked on the tyre itself but on this one its not, just my like, so can anyone back up 44psi? dont want this to blow up in me face at the moment its only got 10psi in it.
  12. Hi all, does anyone know what pressure the space saver spare wheel should be inflated to, cant find the information anywhere, thanks, Richard.
  13. tried logging on as well i just get connection timed out
  14. mines left as in sitting in the car left so passenger side as well sorry for any confusion
  15. My import has the "weird tube thingy" its on the left of the radiator and looks like a washer bottle I guess.
  16. I think if the speedo is out you will be very lucky to get it right as you will be adjusting it hit and miss, I know because I tried it on a Mercedes with no joy and a wasted day.
  17. If the cluster is a UK one it will have a boost guage as all UK ones were turbo models, a conversion will change the signal the cluster recieves and make the speedo and odometer read in miles.
  18. I believe they are still limited by the ecu as well so that needs playing with from what ive read before, before you can get the full top end.
  19. I think if you just unscrew this one out and put it in your cluster it will work fine without affecting the conversion but you might want to get someone else to confirm this first, really want to see the whole cluster not just the odometer if thats ok but at least you will have the rest in case you need it.
  20. This one is in very good clean condition, only the sort of scratches you would normally find on the clear plastic from being wiped with a cloth, I really dont know what its worth if I say £50 let me know if im overpricing it. From looking at this one I think you need to undo about 3 screws to swap the odometer over. Richard
  21. Hi, cant help you with your questions im afraid but if you find you need a new odometer I have a known good working cluster from a 91 na showing 69k kilometers, I know you only need an odometer but it may be cheaper to buy the whole cluster. Just thought I would make the offer. Richard.
  22. Hello all, I have just taken some readings from my throttle position sensor and wondered if any of you could confirm wether my problem is the sensor itself or the wiring leading to it, going into the side I have white/red 0v green/red 11.9v and white/black 0v, coming from the bottom I have Black 0v white 0v red 0v and moving the sensor itself made no difference to any reading, car symptons are that when slowing down for corners it sometimes dies on me, the car itself is a 1990 n/a automatic, cheers Richard.
  23. thats brilliant, thanks Andrew thought i was going to have another headache cos nothing is simply with these Zeds lol.
  24. Do you mind if I ask what make yours are? I went for McGard cos I was told they are the best to get wasnt expecting this little problem tho..
  25. Hi, I recently purchased some of the above for my 300zx but on the Racing Sparco wheels that are fitted to the car the hole is not big enough to accept them, do you think it would be possible to have one on each wheel machined out bigger or would this be dangerous? or do I just buy different wheels cos I wake up every morning expecting them to be missing without the locking nuts. Thanks, Richard
