Fantastic little review for those who have not seen it :D http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Pro-Driver-Test-300ZX-vs_79447.htm

:hyper: Well i now own 4 zed`s!! oh no!! what was i thinking!! But as soon as i saw her i wanted it :headvswal Drive`s absolutley spot on, the engine is sweet, gear change is smooth, just stunned at how good it is Body work is crap, no rust at all, just scratched to hell and the lacquer is peeling off, but with some hard work ,sweat and zed passion, next year she`s gonna be a stunner!!! Just drove about 80 miles today and hardly used any fuel , but can definatley tell that 2 turbo`s are missing, but hey it`s a vert, they are meant to cruise arnt they. Even the Air-con works!! Well the sun`s just come out, i`m off for a spin Daz :hyper…

Hello. Just wondering, can the clear fog lights be used as indicators instead on my zed for the bumper? Just so i dont have the big orange bit on the front? cheers

i need a new turbo for my passenger side bank is that the left or right bank?? as not sure if you do it from looking at the engine or from inside teh car. cheers p.s. any one got a spare or 2nd hand in good order to sell ??

Hi people, This is what my kids got me for my birthday prezzie!!!! I love!!

Hi people Need your help again!! Plan on buying a new set of 19" alloys to replace the standard uk ones, plus since having body kit fitted push the wheels further in line with body work. My problem is i also have a big set of AP brakes to go on the front and rear, but cannot fit them with standard wheels. But i am unsure if the aluminium bells to the AP brakes are thicker than the standard disc. Has anyone got a standard front and rear disc they could measure the thickness as the picture shows? i can measure the thickness of the AP's but need the Zed thickness, otherwise will have to unbolt discs on car and measure. Your help would save me a load of…

Nice clean white 300 heading north on the M23 sunday evening about 7pm

i have a set which i took off my car as the little thin plastic for the vaccuum line had come out of place and so was giving me a boost leak, just wanted to know if i sealed it back on and put them on ebay as a damaged/repaired item how much would you say id a fair price, im only asking as i dont know how much they are actually worth. hope im not breaking any rules, this is not an ad its just a enquiry :D

I know some parts are different on a JDM model 300zx to a UK version, but what parts are best? I read that UK anti roll bars are thicker and a good upgrade from JDM ones, the calipers also look different? What other parts are good to mix and match?

You flashed me when i was north bound about 5 ish,

Oooh did I say that out loud! :headvswal

300ZX decal on the doors and a mid height spoiler. Sure I've spotted this before.

Seen a few things but this even surprised us last week, the near side tension rod arm is two half's welded together, who, what and why is a puzzle as the zed has a recent new owner, but worse still the two half's where slightly longer than a standard one so that side of the car had around 20mm set back on that wheel?? a good used replacement rod sorted it and the set back out, had to re-track it but after that all was good ..... odd :confused: Jeff T

Hi All,Ok i recently bought myself a 300 TT import, a car i wanted for a long time.* It needs some work, i had an idea of what was needed befor i bought it, i just didnt have 5k to hand so my options were limited.Anyways was wondering if anyoe could give me some info or maybe where to look for some.It has a Kakimoto cat back exhaust, HKS turbo timer, Blitz induction these are the parts i knew about when i bought it.* So, now its in my garage and ive had time to give it a little look over i have noticed an HKS automatic line oil pressure controller and a KAKIMOTO ecu (or at least it has there sticker and there seals) does anyone know where i can find out anything about thi…

Any one had problems with tein rear top mounts knocking over bumps .Mine are getting bad now just wondered if its a known problem with tein flex coilovers .Been on the car 4 years now thanks:)

Well after the new Z decided to damage my ribcage last week I've (kind of) got my own back - although it's still going to cost me money.....:o I thought I'd have a go at removing the orange lenses inside the indicators this afternoon; for that clear look. I couldn't be asked to use a soldering iron, drill or hot screwdriver; I thought I'd just try and break it using a hammer and flat screwdriver. That orange dome is tougher than it looks - the first whack did nothing so I tried a bit harder. The dome came away and went straight through the front of the lens; smashing a great big hole in it:slap: Anyone got a UK spec R/H indicator in very very good con…

currently fitting stereo.. havin a bit of a pig trying to get power from the battery through the bulk head.. where is the best place to go through is there somewhere nice and easy?? cheers pete

Spotted my first on the road GTR 35 in Plymouth, white in colour and sounded gorgeous....:hyper:

This is a beast and has a super rare full Border kit on it :cool: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Z32-300ZX-NISSAN-DRIFT-TRACK-RACE-MODIFIED-SHOW-CAR_W0QQitemZ290338295126QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item439982cd56&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Been wondering for a while now with the different size pistons! I have 88mm Wiseco pistons fitted to my block! Does anyone know or can work out what the litre of the engine would be?? Would it be a 3.1 or still a 3.0 Quick update: Ive finallyn early finished the engine apart from the actuator problem what do you think so far :confused: Thanks Dan Another problem any ideas on this???

OK.. anyone who has seen my other threads will know this is getting annoying now!! - Only owned the car a week and needed an new gearbox and overheated last night. Went out to the car this morning and it won't start at all - getting lights on the dash and I can here the Hicas adjusting but when you turn the key - NOTHING - doesn't even turnover!! I have tried resetting the imobilser still no joy. Anybody have any ideas!! (please don't say new starter motor or I am likely to shoot myself) Regards - Cyrus

Hi Guys, Finally picked up my 1st Zed on Saturday and had a couple of problems. ('92 Auto Twin Turbo LWB Jap import with Silvia Engineering chip (330Bhp) and HKS Turbo Timer) In case it matters, the gearbox on this car has literally just been changed for a reconditioned unit by Jeff at Zedworld. I had been driving the car, stop start for most of the day but after a particularly spirited drive in the afternoon, I stopped at a petrol station to find light wisps of smoke coming from under the bonnet and into the cabin through around the air ducts (very light, but enough to worry me) and the car electrics were completely dead. Now I discovered, one of the batte…

red zed with black bumpers J5 m25 saturday 3:30pm ish

No, not reliability issues...... ......but real pain! I bought PhilP's blue ZX last Saturday, as one or 2 people know. Anyway last Sunday I was, amoung other things, installing a CD changer system in the boot. Whilst crouching in the back, removing the rear seat cushion, I heard a small crack. Not sure if it was me or the car; next thing I know I feel a sharp pain in my chest that left me winded for a few minutes..... ......Long story short, I have been in pain all week; so after visiting the doctor (actually, Julia dragged me there. As usual.) I was told there's a 50% chance I've cracked a rib:slap: I don't know if I have - it could be just a muscle s…
