I ask to you if in uk they are found bracket mount, and where to be able to take them. thanks to all akirazx

has anyone removed there abs?:confused: i`ve got a 91 uk tt manual:hyper: and the abs has never worked as it should from day 1

I have a dilema guys. I have an E30 318is and a spare engine. I have an R5 turbo. I WANT a 300zx! I would like a 200sx i cant sell the bimmer, but the 5 is worth about £1500 insurance is no longer a problem. This is my dilema, my choices are. 1. Supercharge the spare engine, 2. Get a volvo 440 turbo engine and put it in the 5 3. Sell the 5 and get a 200sx 4. Or sell the 5 and get a 300zx Ive looked at an auto 200sx and 300zx and was much more impressed with the Z. I was wondering what you guys would do? I need your opinions especially between the 200 and 300 please, as your the nissan experts ofcourse ;)

Hi all, my rear arches are getting worse and its time to get them sorted, anyone got a step by step repair guide? is it best to rub down and fill or cut out and replace? Regards Andy

Heading towards Saltford,I was a passenger in a friend's van, only caught a glimpse as I looked up.

Finally............... my first ZED sighting, unfortunately I was driving a Celica GT, so would have been invisible to the driver of the Z. This is the first Z I've seen on the road so would like to meet other Zed heads near me for help and advice!!

Thanks to marcus :cool: gave them a quick clean up they could do with a *****cking with a buffing wheel when I get chance but look ok for now. they drive a hell of a lot smoother than my old ones too think my stock ones must have needed balancing

this light is coming on today when I press brake pedal. Didn't notice it the other day when I picked it up from the body shop but I pressume its from the perspex tail light panel having a brake light in before(red fairladyZ panel) and now it doesn't cos it broke at the body shop. Can anyone confirm this is what it is and I haven't knocked a brake sensor changing my wheels . If it is a brake light out bulb how can I get round it now I no longer have one other than putting a bulb in and tucking the bulb and cable away somewhere.

Junction 10 southbound. I came onto the motorway in front of you but you were only going about 60 so it was hard to allow you to pass and see much more of the car. I think the reg ended 300X

Put some commercial Unipart injector cleaner in my fuel, filled it up with super 99 and now its smokes on full boost, what looks to be like white smoke... Is this headgasket? Turbo`s? Turbo seals or something else?? Thanks guys, Dan

Fitted the exhaust today it sounds sweet thankyou very much :duffer::duffer: it didnt take me too long to get back traffic was better i cocked up ebay and cant seem to leave any feedback sorry

how do i top up the coolant and how much is a safe amount to use?? :dance:

Heres why.

The speed sensor is from a UK TT Manual and with the sensor out, held in a vice and the cog turned as fast as possible by passing a rope around it a multi meter showed 0.1-0.2 volt. My questions; what should the reading be?Is there another way to test it ? + how do you disemble it to inpect it ? Cheers Rich

my uk 300zx tt manual will not start or fire,i have replaced ptu and cas,still no luck.i can smell fuel so fuel is getting through.does anybody have any advice?thanks

Hi guys, i have searched, but cant get definite answer. I have rung a few places but get the usual jokers wanting to replace everything for r134a, but i have done this before on old bmw's+ just vacuumed out the r12+ changed fittings+ refilled?, which i thought you can do on a zed.Mines a 1991 btw. I now have a guy with r24 drop in gas, but i've seen posts saying its not very good. I'm confused?? :headvswal

hiya dude after a long and patient wait on your part I have a little good news but I have posted here as I can't send you pics otherwise. The amp is out after a few minor cuts and stab wounds:headvswal but as you see from the second pics as my car had aftermarket rears in someone has beaten me to the amp plug you were after :mad: and cut it off and taped it up so let me know if you still want the amp fella

Looking into zed ownership again :D Now this time i wont have the funds to throw money at it and tune its t1ts off so will be keeping it a stage 1 zed and enjoying it. So question, do i just keep it and make it look nicer ie wheels etc or do i strip its arse off as much as i can to make it as light as possible and track it? One thing i never ended up doing was either tracking or dragging any of my zeds :( always had the intention of doing it but was always breaking them or building them further LOL The other questions is am i mad?? is zed ownership again for the 6th time a stupid idea :rofl:

I kind of need a bit of advice, from someone in the 'Know How'.... Any one on here fancy a chat about something driving related? :nono: By the way, I am completely innocent, wasn't in my Zed, was in a 1.0 Micra! Thing is, the L.A.P.D. (the FEDS) aren't seeing like that, so I'm after a bit of advice........... Free half hour consultation? :rofl: Tudor...

after my suspension tuning ive noticed that i get a fair bit of scrubbage (esp. on the nearside front) when i travel over even slight bumps at speed. Chris (the suspension chap) and myself identified the main culprit as being the small rectangular bit of plastic near the top of the inner arch which houses one of the arch screws. the problem is mainly from this one side as we also identified that my (far from genuine) bumper is very slightly closer to the tyre on the nearside than it is on the offside. ive done a bit of research into arch rolling, but even though its only the inner arch im interested in, being a fibreglass bumper im worried about damage being don…

Paid for some stuff 2 weeks ago and it aint turned up yet.:confused: he's had reasons but 3rd promise hasn't materialised. I'm sure there is a valid reason but I need it this weekend

A momentary loss of concentration and wham! take a look at the photo's below and you have to feel for the owner, don't know the full details yet but can see this zed has had some serious money spent previously and now the ins. co. are playing Silly Billy's sadly the damage is extensive, the corner has been pushed back and down, the inner wing is creased all the way to the bulkhead, unfortunately previous repairs to the chassis leg are evident in photo 6, photo 1 shows an alarming difference in the steering track! IF ( ? ) this becomes a rebuild project will document it and the post it up if enough interest. Jeff TT

I have 300zx but this is about my pajero. If you know about E markings on tyres, could you check this thread out and tell me if an E9 R106 tyre is road legal? http://www.pocuk.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=98654 I'm at me wits end with what is legal and not, I've phoned the cops, VOSA and the supplier and still can't get any proof to show my MOT guy :(

Car.mad wants to make Fibre glass copies but he needs a set to make the moulds from first... any available?
