Hi In the LWB version, there is a blind to cover up the boot area. I have seen a picture somewhere, of a fitted cover that is static. It might hinge up or come off completely. Any one know what i'm on about or am i nuts Cheers Ric

cars been running like crap for ages cleaned all the connections as said all over the forum, but last week was driving through town and the car just died at the light and wouldnt start for about 5 mins, just read that ptu failure can make the car die when too hot and start when cooled down? will buying a series 2 ptu make a difference? or does it sound like something else cheers daimen

... anywhere. :confused: I have seen them for the Z31 - but not the Z32. "...provides a barrier for heat from the lower intake manifold to enter the upper intake plenum. Heat transmitted into the aluminum upper intake from the lower intake heats the intake air and reduces the engine's power potential. -Preliminary tests have shown between 20 and 80 degree F drops in intake plenum temperature, depending on conditions. -The 3/8" thickness also increases the intake runner length by the same 3/8" (.375"). -Also removes the requirement for a gasket between the plenum and lower manifold.

Was thinking about getting these seat trims in Charcoal with a silver embossed 300ZX logo :hyper: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300333245791&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Has anybody used these before? Will they be OK quality/fit wise and is what he's saying about them true or hype? cheers dave

Well I'm contemplating getting some new wheels for my Z. I'm not a huge fan of multifit or multispoke wheel as I think they look too cluttered, and they're an ass to wash! lol Love the Jap look with 5-6 spoke designs and always fancied a 3 spoke but not found any yet. Like these rotas: Clicky! in black and also really like these Jade R's: Clicky! Like bronze designs as well as black, would prefer to stay away from silver... Any other suggestions of some nice wheels and/or suppliers? Cheers in advance!

Hi Guys, think I've finally narrowed down the cause of my repeatedly blown fuse to the driver's side headlamp, main bulb connector. It's a bit mashed up, I've left it disconnected for the last few months and the fuse has remained intact. Anyway, I need to find a replacement connector, can anyone point me in the right direction please? It's a 1990 jap import. I don't want to do any kind of conversion if I can avoid it. TIA! RobH

...:rofl: can't blame em for trying, bless em..

As above, anyone know if I just need to undo the bottom bolt of the rear shocker remove from bracket and slip the arm between the shocker and bracket? Or is there a better way of fitting?

I'm looking for ideas of where to put my Racelogic TC digital controller (when it arrives :hyper:) Was thinking about putting it next to the clock, but don't think it'll fit. Anybody got any pictures of where they installed theirs? Cheers

Where have you put the ballasts? I'm really struggling. I was going to put them under the headlight panel however they are to thick and won't fit! The instructions say NOT to allow the ballast to touch metal! Which is really cutting down the places I can put them. This should be a really easy job :headvswal Help

before i begin, must thank the forum! without it wouldnt have resoved it. certain few, Anthony D, Jeff TT, Legrath, loads more cant remember! anyway, the problem was, did an engine swap, my TT into a NA. used the NA loom, used my TT ECU, TT pump, NA pump controller, NA prop/diff/subframe etc etc. after the swap, engine didnt start. after the car went on diagnostics, there were no negative signals getting to the injectors. but there was posotive. i had cut off the corroded connectors on the injectors, and made my own, with speaker spades. still woudnt work. the neg signals come from the ECU. Tested the ECU on anthony Ds Single Turbo Z :bow…

silver Brymawr-Blaenavon 6:40pm today was it you ? mrs said it had a boomerang spoiler like mine so series 2

Hello. Does anybody know the door sails dimension, the metal bit beside the window? Cheers

What you guys think..... I love them. Just a way of putting a personal touch to my car:D! Love it:D! Guess use will all now what they are.lol

Has anyone had any experience with this company. http://www.afrtuning.co.uk/ECU-Chip-Tuning.asp?Car=Nissan%20300zx I have emailed them and briefly spoke to them at TOTB about mapping my Z. I have been waiting for JD to do it but he must be to busy so i thought id sound these guy out. Im in manchester (roughly) and theyre in essex so if anyone knows somewere closer that can map the standard ecu then that would be good. I dont want a chip though, i want it proper live mapping. think theres to many different mods on the engine for a pre programmed chip. cheers danny

Fastorquer? looked good, albeit rear spoiler a tad high for my liking;)

Cleaned the engine bay at the wk/end then this morning loads of black dust mainly all round the rad shroud and the black timming cover , the belts are fine ,is it just dust of the road, only done hundred miles ,any ideas:confused:

what are your thoughts lol :nana2:

I know this is gonna sound real stoopid, but... How do you get out of a 300ZX??? The steering wheel hits my knee before it clears the cluth pedal, twisting the foot only jams it on the clutch pedal, i have to depress the clutch, to swing my knee over to the other side.. Am i missing something or am i a freak!! Ric

I put a deposit on a Zed that looked mint, seemed perfect and was due to pick up on thursday pending another test drive etc. Talked him down to well under £1500, so was cautious anyway; got a message today to say not to pick up as it had blown a cylinder through the side of the block! ever heard of this happening on a Zed? or did he just change his mind about selling? :( A bit gutted as I was looking forward to it despite needing a bit of work.. might have to pick up something like a volvo to do me for now as an 'emergency' car for the next few weeks :headvswal

I'd like to paint the 'Nissan' on my brake calipers with white Hammerite paint as I have some in the garage. Is this OK, i.e. will not burn?
