There is only one reason why a VIN is removed from a vehicle

Such a shame the Z didn't have an adjustable steering wheel, would have happily got rid of my airbag wheel for the official late non airbag wheel, but it just sits too close to the top of my legs and ended up with a dished wheel - - - Updated - - - Sorry, adjustable steering column

Looks like a tidy series 3. Fair price aswell, as long as it's that clean underneath. Certainly looks like it should be a grade 4 import

It's an odd one for me I've had two TT zeds and 13 years of ownership. My current TT is a bit of an animal. However, I've had a real itch for a '95 ish short wheel base slick top manual NA zed that I'd want to GT3RS-ize, semi stripped but no bare floors, half caged car with a well fettled engine, REALLY sorted chassis components, a proper pure naturally aspirated drivers car. Yes I know my TT would leave it for dead, but sometimes it's about the driving experience and not just the power (which is why I think older naturally aspirated RWD cars are becoming so popular, and expensive) However, I would never personally have any desire to own a LWB auto NA.

Unlikely, reason I asked for a picture of the part was because the bloody thing has called out at some point when I've have the front end apart in the last year or So :P - - - Updated - - - *fallen out

I assume the part pushes through he hole in the wing and has a built in retainer or sorts?

No, it's $10.88 EACH, plus shipping. For a piece of plastic the size of fag butt, yet similar grommets for other parts of the car are $3 it's a bit of a rip off (not CZP's fault, it'll be Nissan setting the RRP)

$10!!!! That's crazy for tiny bit of plastic! Cheers guys, that's just what I was after

Bit of help please. I'm trying to find what I think is probably some sort of threaded grommet. As I've been putting my car back together I've found that where very rear edge of the front bumper attached to the wing (so the leading edge of the front wheel arch) I have nothing to wind a bolt into when you line up the bumper with the support bracket. The front bumper has been off for such a long time, I can't remember what should be there! I know I could use a nut and bolt, but considering it's probably a very cheap part, I'd like to keep an OE fastener. Does any one: A) have the foggiest idea of what I'm talking about B) have a picture of what I'm missing C) a part number or link to said part Cheers Nick

Anything that's down as a VG30DET is for a Z31 300zx not a Z32 (which is VG30DETT). Personally I'd go for an RPS Street Max over everything else clutch wise. There's another thread active at the moment about lightweight fly wheels, have a look at that before deciding as unless you want to upgrade there is no reason why you couldn't have your stock wheel skimmed if it needs it. Other thing I would 100% do is go for the full length braided clutch line and delete the hydraulic dampener (the bleed nipple on the near the hicas servo). Makes clutch bleeding a significantly easier and less time consuming. - - - Updated - - - *and to clarify, if your car is an NA, it's VG30DE

Someone's telling porkie pies..... lack of MOT due to emissions, I think not However, it does appear to be at least a series 4 car, whether it's a 97/98 car remains to be seen. - - - Updated - - - Previous MOT was in 2009, so it was off the road for a long old while

What was it up for originally?

This demonstrates as well as anything the effect of a light weight fly wheel when free revving

Really should proof read when using my phone! Should read *the other negative is a reduction

If you have any ideas of retaining any form of around town/slow traffic/hill start road manners then don't even think of having a twin plate carbon clutch, I've seen starved lions with less bite! Whilst they maybe significantly lighter to a tradition clutch they're very focused for track/drag applications. An RPS Street Max clutch will do everything 99% of Road going Z owners will need. Stock feel and pedal weight and will hold just shy of 800 ft/lbs of torque. As for ligh widget fly wheels, simply put, there's less rotational mass loaded into the rotating assembly of the engine and less parasitic draw. You're unlikely to notice it's effect whilst in gear and pulling. However you will notice is whilst decelerating whilst in gear (more engine braking) as well as any 'blip' you may give between gear changes (free-er quicker rev). If you go for a very light flywheel, you'll find that you'll need more revs and more clutch slip to move off a stand still. The northern negative is a reduction in torque. On the TT however, it minimal once on boost (1.6 lbs/ft loss in torque, 8hp gain at the fly on before and after dyno sessions on same rolling road)

Nice. Both box and diff fluids are on my list of things to do, but have more pressing issues at hand such as getting her road worthy again

I've been working on mine for the last 17 months, and the things to do list doesn't really seem to be shrinking If you're doing trans fluid, you may aswell do the Diff fluid while you're at it

Plenty to keep you busy!

Courtesy Nissan has it down as EVAP pressure sensor. If it is a MAP sensor, I can't find the pressure specs on it

I stand semi corrected, it's both a MAP and Boost sensor

My '95 S4 has it, but it's not a MAP sensor (on 96+ are obd2). I came to the conclusion it's a boost sensor for the later ecu.

Et38 on 9J will probably be ok on the rears but doubt you'll have to roll your arches Both those options for front off set will sit like stock wheels, if not further in the arches (can't remember what the offset is of the stock wheels) On those width wheels I can't really advise what offset would give the desired stance that most look for. I can only tell you that a 18x9.5j et22 is bang on for the fronts. Can't really comment on the rears, as I'm on a 10.5J et30 and had to flare the arches a fair bit for them to fit, but have zero clearance issues on the inside of the wheels Funkysi of JoelyP are two examples of spot on off set selection (I'm sure there's others but user names aren't coming to mind)

For the first year in a fair few, nothing. Feels odd

As previously said, FB is generally an easier way of sharing pics of "I've just cleaned the car" "lovely drive today" type posts, which used to be a common thread many years ago that bolstered the "new thread" numbers. It's been a long time since I have done any work with vbulletin, so I don't know if there is any new features that allow FB style photo sharing rather than having to attach from your computer or use an IMG code from Photobucket etc. For me, the leadership to the club now is more in tune to how I thought the club should be run compared to previous incarnations (hence my defection and subsequent more active behaviour). My point being, personalities make the club as much as the content
