Front ARB droplinks
Scratch that, that is a rear... The ARB doesn't change it. The front one is a z shape though. I used a 200sx front one at the rear as it was half the price and on the shelf.

That looks more like a rear. The fronts are z shaped. If your whitelines are the same as my stillen ones you will need 4 Z shaped ones. Which is the same as a 200sx front.

I know the fate of H61 EGU sadly, it was the swb and location that rung a bell. It belonged to ZX-TT after you; http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?161325-AZEV-18-quot-Wheels-with-Pirelli-PZero-tyres-all-good-tread-%A3300 Sadly he got disheartened and couldn't sell for what he wanted the car was broken and in the end the shell was scrapped I believe. If you find his name and search his posts you will find out exactly what happened.

What did you do to your zed today?

Yeah, certibatly not something you can expect to do any make big money it's just too time consuming. With the right tools however it would take long. There's a company local to me called Tube Form Technologies, they er specialise in tubes. My old firm used to use them for the bulk stuff that didn't require bespoke joinery, for example the luggage racks on trains, we made hundreds for bombardier. I recon they could be quite cheap to make the bulk then I can put the vac nipples etc in myself. This means I can use aluminium as I don't have access to a AC welder and buying one would negate any saving.

Correct, I haven't made a set of 300zx intercooler parts. I guess you could say though I have made a few bits of pipework, :lol: sadly I don't have access to the tools I once did it it would be done already, for free :D

Any old school Ford heads in the house
Very nice, I do miss my Capri. I had to choose though and the zed won.

If you have to pay someone else it's probably not a viable option.

Wrong engine IMO, I'd only consider put one of them in a Capri because its easy, and cheaper than making the 2.8 to 200+ hp. But its a big heavy pig iron bottom end that makes ~230whp. So many better options that would be lighter and keep the overall balance of a mk2 whilst providing better power than the engine out of a Granada. My mate had a Capri with one as it was pretty quick, but my other mate had one with a Chevy v8 that went in almost as easy thy was hooligan f Mk2+ dutatec/zetec/Honda s2000 engine way more win than the 2.9 cosworth. My favorite cossie block is the 3.1L GAA lump, that's a fed v6

Ripped off again by a member of this forum!!
Oh that old conversation.

I don't think there's 3" for a z32 either, 3" exhaust yes but not intakes. I'd love a 2.5" intake system but there either expensive and don't fit properly or very expensive. Either way you will be importing it.

18" are pretty common so plenty to choose from. Ive got fàlken fk452s which are great for the money. Don't think they make them anymore though, it's the fk453 now which iirc isn't so highly praised.

Wonderful be good to see you again pig and have a look over your zed.

These things happen... Thankfully it looks like it's cosmetic damage, new red bumper and nose panel and you will be ok hopefully. Budgets always look appealing but esp when the weather turns it shows what's cheap and what isnt. They don't have to be worlds most expensive tyre just a good reputable brand and equally if not more importantly with plenty of tread depth, expensive worn tyres are often worse than cheap ones in bad weather. At the end if the day tyres are what makes the car do anything without them your stuffed. Lesson learned. What size do you have?

Stalling and lumpy power steering ?!
Low power steering fluid comes up HICAS on the dash, the jagging sensation is odd though. Your speedo works right? ECU temp sensor can cause issues, that's the square one if the two on the top hard pipe. What is your idle when cold and when warm? Should be about 750 warm, if it's lower than that it's worth check the Idle valve connection than get get furred up or even fall off. If your getting the power light show when driving along etc that's generally battery, check the connections are clean. If you have the facility check you have 12v when off and 13.5v when running. The temperature has dropped recently that often highlights battery issues. Any other little quirks?

Project Dittohead Red
Oh that, that would be rather an expensive spare wheel lol. That rear hub is worth more that a lot of aftermarket car wheels.

Project Dittohead Red
Pretty much yeah...I aim to keep things functional at heart so simply running without isn't the best option. I've thought about have a can of tyre weld in the boot but it's crappy stuff if you've ever used it. So I was thinking about using the space saver from a 350/370 as they come with big brakes anyways. Weight reduction is a big subject and I'm making life difficult by not going hole heartedly into it, it's not a racecar so things like carpet and actual functional windows etc will be retained.

Will any Nissan Brake Master Cylinder fit a Z32?
Only some early non turbos have no ABS. There are various BMCs are in use on the z32 through production, there isn't a set z32 BMC so with that in mind I guess it's possible, have to try I Spose. There is a mod to put your ABS on a switch so you can still have it on the road, bit late now though hey.

Mine wasn't doing it in neutral or even if you were gentle and progressive just on hard acceleration.
