LINK CLICKY Nothing to do with me but somebody may be interested! Will fit a Zed :)

I've at last finished de-oranging the car: I'm thinking though that it could do with either smoked indicators to match the blanks next to them, or clear blanks, I'm not sure which. Anyone any thoughts, or pictures of such arrangments? Are smoked UK indicators available? Phill P.S. please ignore the off centre number plate!

just out of interest witch side skirts would you put on your car ?SWB just removed mine (BOMEX)

I'm trying to fit a new system to the Z. I've searched the site and found a wiring guide, http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=1254445&postcount=11but what it lists as Z wiring does not match what is coming from the back of my original unit. Some pics below of what is currently connected. And this which is not connected And does anyone know what this switch is for It's got a cd multichanger currently connected. All of which is standard JSpec I believe.

Hi Guys, I have noticed a strange buzzing sound coming from under my car, sounds as if its under the passenger footwell?? Its on my TT auto I`m hoping its something to do with the auto box as its been a bit tempramental the last few weeks. The sound appears on 1 click of the ignition without the engine started. Sound`s electrical!!! Any help is appreciated Daz.

I gave my car a good run tonight, I was high up in the revs in 2nd, 3rd and 4th on full boost (14psi, Mines ecu, twin mushroom filters, decat exhaust) and must of been at it for about 6 miles. Once I stopped and was parking the car up I noticed whisps of smoke from the exhaust my wing mirror, whilst the car was cooling down I checked for smoke at the back but it had now stopped. After about 5 mins of idling I notices a small amount of smoke coming from underneath the car, it was the drivers side directly below the wing mirror. I decided to switch the car off. An hour later I started it and drove home, no smoke, and all seems fine. Any ideas where the…

Saw you heading from Wells to Glastonbury. Pretty stock looking but had quite a loud exhaust.

As above. I'm smoothing the stonechip, currently using plastikote Spot filler and primer. Just wondering if there's a better one?

As titled thanks.

Worked his magic, that is! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back, at the beginning of june, i dropped my crashed shorty off at Mr Thomas' unit to have the engine lifted out so it could be put into my new one!

I bought a 300 zx tt, lwb uk.some time ago and before i found this website the damage was already done.see i bought the car with straight through exhaust decatt and the car had a boost controller or valve timmer same thing. anyway it had no instructions and because i wa\nted a lwb english car i traveled and after a year found one with a decent engine.anyway i drove it around and eventullay found the boost controller mounted above the pedals hidden ,so i turned it on up full and within a week had ****e up my oil seals. so this is where im at today.ive taken the engine out myself over alot of months dont get alot of me time with 21 old week and 6 and 8 year old and wether a…

Smoothed the rear bumper completely? By that i mean smoothed all the rockguard and also filled in the swage line. Am going to be taking my front off and respraying it and also fitting some nice plain skirts and door fillers. Also i was going to smooth the rear bumper and was wondering if it is a good idea to fill the swage line also and leave it completely smooth. Anyone done it or got a pic of one done this way? Taa, Isaac :cool:

Anyway, whoever it was, I found a pic.

:hyper:Zed passed MOT today flew straight through no faults and examiner said it was in great condition. Changed the number plates last night to the road legal plates and connected up the fog light checked all worked and that was it. For a 17 year old car it is the best and most reliable car I have ever own and I have owned a hell of a lot of cars:D

Hi Guys, I fitted an Autobahn88 FMIC a year or so ago and found some of the joints leaked, fixed all the problem joints I could find at the time. Tightening as much as the clamps will allow doesn't seem to improve things, I'm a bit concerned I might have put the pipes out of shape. I checked over the pipework with soapy water today and found some further considerable leaks - hardly surprising I'm not holding a lot of boost...1.03 bar maximum at WOT Anyway, the problem is getting the darned hoses to seal on the pipework, anyone got any brainwaves?? How about a little instant gasket or flange sealant before assembly - or am I being thick?? Perhaps some better clamps mi…

I bought a new battery on the 16th July and it died on the 19th Aug, I tried to jump start it but nothing, took it back to the supplier and they tested it with 3 different types of meters and got absolutely no reading whatsoever? They have kindly replaced it and I have checked all fuses in the three boxes on the car and they all appear to be okay? I have fitted the battery to the car and it started first time all working as should, however I have tested it on idle and the reading is 12.3v (Electrics thread say's should be between 14-14.5v)? I have switched on blower, lights, fogs, rear window demister and fogs, this results in the meter reading 11.9v (again…
