just taking a look at the engine bay, the 2 tubes you insert the jets to (as per this guide) http://www2.zhome.com:81/ZCMnL/PICS/boostJets/boostJets.html where do they run from? i think i have 1 of the tubes plugged with a screw, as i think it went to the re-circs, but removed the recircs so just blocked it up. i think they need to go to the ones from each wastegate? same location each side?

I presume that if I remove the orange filter from my front indicators that I will then need to get some orange bulbs? Where can I get these from? Thanks, Phill

Hello. Has anybody dealt with this webiste/company before?

Hi all, Picked up a 300ZX at the w/end. Live in Guildford, Surrey looking for a specialist to do some work on the Rear sills near the subframe. Anyone know anyone in the area?? Cheers Seb

As above spotted a black zed on friday evening going the other way to me on the M40. Was it you? Isaac :cool:

After about 3 years of highs, lows and lots of patience, I'm finally picking her up on Tuesday :D MOT went through last week and I taxed her online today. Looking froward to the drive home... CheerZ Steve :)

as i have now got my new wheels on (cruize 135s) it was time to get my current ones onto my dads (stonewall) Z.... however he had a rather nasty suprise when he took of 1 of he's front wheels :shock: rather lucky escape... and heres a pic of he's Z looking much better with some new shoes on Rich

Started a bit late today but between me, my dad and my bro we managed to get the engine in in less than 30 minutes but the mounting bracket for the gearbox was what caused all the problems, 5 mm off on one side so had to lengthen all the slot to accomodate and went through f*** knows how many grinding stones to get there :rofl: On to the interior next, just need to lengthen the throw of the gear lever and grind out a bit more of the floor to accomodate the throw of the lever but it's in finally after 7 months and jesus does it sit low in the body, the weight it right in line with the centre of the wheels so should handle brilliantly which is what i wanted :D Mor…

Just got linked this by a friend, any reason why they are stupidly cheap??? http://www.g-s-racing.com/products.html

:D , well not exacly new wheels, I`ve taken them from my TT Hope you like, Also nice to meet all the 300zx members i met at Haigh hall this afternoon, jolly good show ;) good turn out, get some pics up!!!! Daz.

Well it's going to have the welding done on Tuesday, found a local Japanese car specialist round the corner from me that I never even knew existed until a mate told me about them. Not only does the owner drive a 300, he specialises in them so that's nice to know, it's only a 20 min WALK from my house to. Any way today some bits turned up, just some clear indicators and silver bulbs, so I fitted them and heated up the front units to pry the lens off and remove the orange inner lens (180deg for about 5 mins is enough) Had to splice and solder some wires, took about an hour all in I guess but I think it worth it. I'll get around to re doing the rears at some point I'd …

Hi ive got a Silver Twin Turbo Jap Import on a G reg, its Auto and its done 56000 miles. Its in good condition with cloth trim. Can someone advise me on how much to sell it for? I really want a quick sale but at the same time i don't want to give it away. Any ideas? I've looked on Auto Trader but the prices are all over the place. Thanks Sarah

I can't be the only owner of a Z in these parts; which is good to know. Spotted an awesome looking 300zx (silver), was parked up at St Margrets bay which is between Dover and Deal. Anyone? It even had a 300zx.co.uk logo on the window. 4.30pm 16th..

Left my car parked upwards last night and car ran beautifully from cold without any hesitation at all, could this be just coincedence?

was a good meet and was nice to meet everyone. weather was lovely and we all had the targas off on the way home.

hi all, another prob iv been having recently is my battery is going flat daily!! i have jump started her twice, then as that failed i gave the battery a full charge for 20hrs, still it went flat within a day. the car has a clifford alarm and im guessing this is draining it, but even saying that, the last four days i have left the car unlocked and with the alarm off to see if the battery will still hold charge, yet again, come the morning its flat again :( how can i check my alternator is working, or how can i check the battery is still good or not???? thanks, dan

hi all, iv had a nightmare weekend with the car and need some help as im a complete newb with 300's! basically took the car for an mot, as the car got to the mot station the temperature was right up and i had no heating, then steam started pouring out from the engine bay, and what a surprise, the readiator was completely empty :( i waited for engine to cool down for an hr or so then filled radiator up with 2ltrs of water, the water came straight back out within seconds :( it seems the water is coming out really quickly from the front of the engine towards the top, where there is 2 metal pipes around 2" coming out and bending to the left towards drivers side…

hi all, ive read quite a few posts on this but im still unsure, first of all ive got the jap clocks at 180kmph but i'd like it to display mph? do i need a conversion box or can i just buy a sticker to go over the top reading in mph? surely theres a easy way apart from wires and soldering kits lol... thanks

I'm trying to sort out the c/l on the passenger side, which hasn't worked since I've owned the car. The obvious to start with was whether the solenoid is getting a pulse/voltage supply - it isn't. I've got as far as eliminating the wiring between the car and the door as there's no pulse on the inside connectors either! Am I right in thinking the only fuses are under the bonnet? I'm struggling where to look next and am tempted to run a wire across from the drivers door!

Hi all, First post! I'm looking at buying a zed, I've found one that looks mint with one exception, as described below in the ad: Turbo's are smoking The smoke is blue and after removing the intercoolers and finding oil within them we concluded that the turbo seals have gone. The car still drives fine and boosts / holds boost although it gives off a lot of smoke and I would not suggest travelling a long distance in it as it will probably attract the wrong sort of attention. How much cash am I looking at to have it fully checked out and rectified? Is this a cheap fix if the seals are indeed busted, or is it gonig to break the bank? Car looks a s…

last night about 9pm on A2 racing another car? was a daRK coloured zed and was doing at least a ton!!(good show)

Good Afternoon Folks, I havent long had my car back from being repaired where I had a water bypass done. Now that is all nice and water tight at the back it appears (from what I can see) that one of the seals on the front water pipes has sprung a leak. Is this an easy fix / common problem? there appears to be a fair bit of coolant over the top of the engine etc. I have had the car for three years now and it has always seemed to leak something from somewhere! Cheers as always, Dave.
