As titled I'm look for an OEM oil cap as mine now keeps turning and won't seal properly. 

Also looking for the weather strip that runs along the top of the door (passenger side) as mine has lifted and is getting worse. 

Located in Fife so can collect if local.

Robbie,

 

I have these in stock, and I will be in the shop tomorrow if you want to swing by.

 

Cheers,

 

Alex.

 

Sorry Alex wasn't able to come up today. Can come up on Friday if you are around then.

My z on track last week and the rocker covers decided to start leaking out pretty badly. Already had them off once and used the torqen DIY seal kit which obviously hasn't worked fo me so what I'd like to know is should I go for oem nissan replacements or are there others that are just as good bearing in mind I'll want to track the car again? 

Also kinda can't be bothered doing the job again myself as it's a pain so if anyone that's had the job done at a garage could give me a ballpark price that would be great.

Thanks

Replied on the Facebook page but I'll reply here as well. Put my name down too for the stand if you still can. I'll just use my season pass for getting in as I can't see them refusing me entry with that.

Thanks for the advice guys. It's a DE n/a. Have been recommended by a few mates that drift to use Lucas 10w60 but I feel that may be overkill slightly. 

Should I be looking for fully synthetic or semi synthetic?

Hoping to do a few track days in the 350 this year so I'm wanting to put some different oil in that will cope.

What's the recommendations for viscosity and brand?

Ordered some nankang ns2r's today. Hopefully get the wheels refurbed and get them on the car just after Xmas. 

Thanks for the help guys

I've looked on camskill, tyre leader, demon tweeks etc. Maybe they didn't have the sizes I was looking for initially. I'll try a few other sizes and see what I can find 

Where do you guys get your tyres from?

I can't seem to find any sites that sell ado8, R888, ns2r etc. In these sizes mentioned.

As @Ekona says, front/rear. Stock difference is 2.73% front to rear.

 

I've run 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 (255/35 and 275/35) which is 2.12% different, and currently on 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 (245/40 and 265/40) which is 2.45%. neither had any TC problems.

 

Personally I really like Yokahama AD08R's (current choice), not a 'true' track day tyre but very good!

I'm struggling for actually finding tyres in the sizes I'm needing. As it stands I can't find any Yoko's or toyos in the right size. 

My best at the moment seems to be Westlake's from tarmac sportz in a 235/40 front and a 285/35 rear.

The ratios should be okay at that but may be a bit much of a stretch on the fronts

Hoping to clarify on here instead of posting a new thread. 

Is the tolerance referring to the difference in rolling diameter from standard wheel and tyre specs? 

I have a set of 18" rpf1s to go on my z and am looking for track tyres e.g. Westlake. The fronts are 9.5j and the rears are 10.5j

Any suggestions on tyre size and brand choices would be great 

I'm setting up my hsd dts and on the rear I'm unsure of how far to wing the shock into the cup. I've seen on previous posts that it's 25mm + how much you've lowered the spring cup but when set to that there looks like barely any travel in the shock.

All advice appreciated chaps ðŸ‘

Any Scottish or North West England members going down, we've got a group of about 6 cars heading down the M74 / M6 route if you fancy convoying up.

Meeting up with a few members from a local car club Clan Japan and heading down on the Saturday morning. Time is still to be confirmed at the minute though, but will update my OP when we get it sorted, hopefully in the next day or so.

I'm heading down on the Saturday from alloa with an evo 5 and a few mates in other cars. We're not the best organised for times usually but might find yous on the way down.

I'm going to be changing out my rear tracking bolts this week. What's the chances of the bolts being seized inside the bushes?

I've not had the best luck with the bushings lately so want to be prepared

Thanks guys, Should have it all sorted by the end of the week now ðŸ˜

Urgently needing a pair of rear hub to shock bushings.

I may have some sourced already but waiting on a reply to get them so just looking in case i cant get them.

Preferably in the Dunfermline/Fife area for pick up or delivery ASAP

Mines is definitely the bigger size so m22 will be the one haha. Hoping I can find something on eBay because I cba making one myself

I'm wanting to make a bracket for my front plate that will screw into the tow hook in the front. Am i right in saying the tow hooks are an m22 for the later models?

Also if anyone can point me in the direction of any brackets that do fit the towing eye it would be much appreciated

Will be my first japfest with the zed and first time I'll meet anyone from here. Will be heading down from Scotland with a couple of other Jap motors so may bump into the Scots on the way

Thanks. gonna see if I can get some I'll be able to pick up quicker but definitely keep them in mind

Not getting my hopes up but are there any traders in the Fife area that would be able to get a pair of banana arms to me within a couple of days? Or that I would be able to pick up from them?

Thanks

Don't know if they are all the same? I've got a 2004 but with the facelift bumpers
