Just about to swap my tailgate for a new one with mid level spoiler. I've sussed the ram strut removal. I've accessed the 4 nuts holding the tailgate in place BUT............. The stupid wiriing going into the rightside of the tailgate seems to have no snap connectors - so I either cut all the wires and rejoin or???? Anyone done this with minimal work? ta Chris ps It's going to Nurburg next week so have to fit it Saturday.

Hi all Picked up my new Zed (new import) without really thinking too much about the consequences. Realise I need a speed converter but will I need a UK dash or can I simply get a new speedo face (one on ebay maybe) ? My speedo doesn't have a boost guage. Is this normal for a 95 model ? It's definitely a TT :) Does anyone know if it's ok to use the central brake light in the perspex strip on the bootlid as a fog light ? Would this be a simple wiring job ? Perhaps it would be easier to hand the car over to a recommended specialist ? In Surrey maybe or nearest ? All thoughts very much appreciated. Mark

Hi all, I took my Z to work today and whilst shopping in Homebase at Lunchtime I parked 2 spaces from a grey K reg 300zx NA in the carpark...... ......anyone here? Richard:)

A few weeks ago the car developed a knocking noise going over bumps that sounded like it was coming from the transmission tunnel. I finally got it up on ramps today and found that the noise was the drivers side exhaust hitting the crossmember (as seen in Munys "What is this post"). The exhausts are mongoose cat backs, everything else is original and the cats are still in place. All the rubber supports at the rear of the car are intact and undamaged and there didn't seem to be any damage to the original parts of the exhaust but it's wrapped in cladding and difficult to see. The car's not making any extra noises and there are no funny smells so i'm pretty sure that it'…

Very impressed with the bodywork!

What is the Thing Circled? It keeps getting scraped on Speed Bumps ETC. Looking into building a Complete Car Undertray and this is annoying my design Many Thanks

put a deposit on a Zed finally, only to have the dealer call up and say 'someone is here giving us greif, we're going to sell it to them'. I'm so wound up, this is the third one in my budget that the seller has screwed me on in one way or another, and I'm running out of time for a car so may have to get something else. totalyl gutted / annoyed beyond beleif!! couldn't of happened on a worse day either, I came in 3 hours early to work so I could go collect it, arranged the insurance etc, only to have to get the bus back home, £100 down until it re-appears in my account, £100 down in train tickets over the three different cars, and god knows how much down for commuting…

Could somebody kindly tell me where the best place to look for chroming engine bay parts is, whether it be a website which sells chromed ZX parts or a person on here who would do this for me and pm me some prices. (Also, the same for powdercoating) finally, could someone please tell me how to put an image up in this forum, rather than attaching it .lol. Cheers!!

Blue Zed looked pretty much Stock! Licence M*** TT Waited for ya at the Exit but you just drove off :( Will catch ya next time i hope :)

What is the biggest size we could get? Would 8.5 inch wide screen be too big?

Hi Guys, Taking delivery of my 1st 300 ZX on monday so hope to be a regular on these pages.

my car is currently at the bodyshop having the front bumper repaired and some other bits and i had a close look at my uprated intercoolers while the bumper was off and noticed they had TRUST embossed on them. any info on them greatly appreciated. i have had a search on here but cant find anything.

hi all. having read through all sorts of old threads - i am still unclear about the difference between an auto turbo and a manual one. can anyone help me out with 1. does an auto fit onto a manual car? 2. is there any difference in performance if this is done?. ie does one create more / less pressure at the same revs? . anyone know the answers ?

Does anybody know if suspension struts/springs on a 300zx are shared with any other nissan models? i.e. would a kit from an R33 GTR fit? Its not a daft question as it may sound, but its one I'm not sure of. thanks :)

is sump easy replaceable?? or easy repair?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140330848228&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT cheers pete

Saw it today on pistonheads, a bit cheeky of them to slap £500 on the asking price compared to what TG paid for it http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1166324.htm

as per title.. what is the deepest dish 18" 5 spoke wheels i could fit on my zed (standard arches) without rubbing etc...

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

my car wont start and i have a noisy siren like an alarm sound going off inside the car, i dont know what it is and i cant move my car out of the work car park... please help thanks in advance

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.
