It's been a long time since I've done an update on the project, things have been a little slow due to lack of time but there has been progress. Apart from trying to source a slightly larger radiator as I'm not completely happy with the running temperature things are pretty much done. There are few little running issues that need addressing but I can't do anymore and have booked it in with Jeff. It is either a software problem or something simple that a conzult session will cure. Some pics but the engine bay needs a good clean as it's covered in filler dust! The prep on the bumper is going well, until the car is running 100% I am only going to c…

Went to football a few days ago and ball went over the stand and bounced in the carpark and I heared a very familiar alarm, after the game i found that the ball had smashed my window screen, absolutely gutted, phoned my insurance and they put me through to my windscreen claim department, they said last time they did a 300zx it took 5 hours and they had to wait a few months for a windscreen to arrive from japan, luckily they found one straight away and they are repairing it wednesday weather permitting outside my house.

I am considering removing the viscous fan and replacing it with an electric one. Were the later model Zeds fitted with these from the factory, if so, where is the temperature switch located and is it possible to mod the earlier cars? I don't really want to go down the route of a Kenlowe fan because of the sensor which has to be inserted into a radiator hose...

have been in the market for a new car for a few weeks now and having owned 2 300,s in the past ive allways had a soft spot for them, i was gonna get another tt manuel but after seing this n/a i fell in love again its a 1995 series 4 n/a manual what ya think ?

what is the best way to repair the leading edge of this blind. The material appears to be heat sealed or glued as standard but mine is starting to part on the edge nearest the tailgate.

I usually fill up with VPower at Clevedon, but then a Shell garage opened in Weston so I started going there as it's closer to me, trouble is they're useless - more expensive than Clevedon and it's a 50/50 chance that they've run out of VP every time I go to fill up. So went to Tesco's last night, and was amazed to find 99 ron there at about £1.07 / litre. I asked the girl how long they'd had 99 ron, she said "oh, I think that's just been labled wrong"! I said, "so I've just been ripped off?" she said "oh er I'm not sure". Hopefully she was just daft as a brush. I had no signs of det on the way home at 1 bar boost anyway. Anyone else use Tesco 99 instead …

Is there a how-2 on an engine removal???

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.

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.
