Wheel Centres
I recently fitted new wheels and am looking to get a set of domed Z wheel centres for them....previously I have gone with Black with a silver Z Should I stick with the same (bearing in mind the centres are quite large 70mm diameter)...or go for a different colour combination? Suggestions welcome! PS...I have a Red steering wheel emblem...but not sure if any colour other than black will work with the yellow?

KYB AGX Rear Shocks
Looking for advice on what setting to put KYB AGX shocks to when fitted on the rear with stock springs.....I'm looking for a comfortable compliant road ride...not for track use :thumbup1: Was thinking of going for the middle setting to start with (4) ....but read somewhere that the lowest (1) softest setting was an improvement on stock?

Wheel Change - Opinions
....Hmmm, tough decision. In that particular style, I would be drawn to the 19 inch version. What are the current widths, offsets and tyre sizes of your TSWs (including spacers)?.... Current wheels are 19"....all 4 are only 8 Js with ET of 40...they are fitted with 20mm spacers front and 25mm rear.... Tyres are 235/35/19 front and 245/35/19 rear .....have had rear arches rolled so no more fouling...but fronts catch when turning into my road which has a speed bump at the entrance......

Wheel Change - Opinions
I currently have a set of 19" TSW Multi spoke wheels on my 1991 TT LWB and I am considering changing them for a more dished style....I am also thinking of perhaps a more retro style ....and drawn to something like those fitted to Gaz 300's fantastic Red shortie..... I am thinking of dropping back to 18" both for the ride improvement and the current occasional fouling I get with the 19's ...(although that is probably more to do with the size of hub centric spacers I have!) Anyhow...Ali has photo shopped them onto my car in both 19" and 18" format below... CURRENT RS MESH 19" RS MESH 18" Comments please ....(be gentle FunkySi) :whistling: Proposed new fitment to be.... Front 18 x 8.5 (ET 25) Rear 18 x 9.5 (ET 25) Other style suggestions and advice welcome Thanks Gary

A Few site updates and overall changes [AGM]
Jai...I realise you are working on this in your 'spare' time :thumbup1:...and nothing can change overnight.....at the AGM there was talk of enticing prospective new members by fronting the current website with an inviting 'Home' page.... with info on the 300ZX Owners Club and perhaps a history of the marque ...pictures from recent events etc...with links off to the forum, classifieds and forthcoming events etc.....is this still under consideration? I appreciate that this would take a great deal of design and build effort...but there seemed to be some enthusiasm from certain members to provide, 'web design', 'editorial' and 'coordination' services to design and edit web content and coordinate social media exposure....it would be a shame if that enthusiasm were to evaporate !.....and before anyone comments...I wasn't one of the 'enthusiasts'...and I am not advocating 'lumbering' anyone with additional workload....it was just that there was interest from some who appeared qualified and willing to offer their services :whistling:

Bolt On Hubcentric Spacers
Looking to install some hubcentric bolt on spacers. I am not entirely sure what size I need (?)...I have been advised that with my wheel size and offset ...I 'could' go with 20mm & 25mm...but a bit of measuring and trial fitting with washers leaves me thinking that more than 15mm may cause the tyres to foul the wheel arch...but I am not sure how much travel there is in the suspension (stock...not lowered) So if anyone has any spare I would be interested...not looking to spend out on 'new' until I know what sizes will work! Thanks Gary

AC Condenser - Same Part No.t for TT & NA ?
I am trying to replace my broken AC Condenser and unless I import from the US... the only option for new appears to be from Nissan UK at £585 (8 week wait)....so I am hoping to pick up one from a breaker and then see if I can get it repaired/re-cored at a local radiator specialists.....if that can't be done for a reasonable cost... I will have to go down the import route. The reason I am opting to find one from a breaker instead of taking mine out is that it requires a lot of dismantling...and I don't really want to take my car to bits without knowing just how long it would have to stay like that :confused: So....the part number for my car (1991 TT manual) is 9210133P00 (according to Nissan UK).....my question is....if I source an AC Condenser from a JDM or N/A car....will it fit?....It would be a bit of a ba!! ache to go to the expense and trouble of getting an old unit from a breaker re-furbished...only to find it was different dimensions or had different fitments....I have looked at the exploded diagrams for the AC components and I THINK they are the same...but would appreciate confirmation from one of the 'gurus' on the forum. Thanks Gary
