Tried gluing them in but made a mess of it, think im going to have them done by someone else. I have grinded them down to size, sprayed them up and attached mesh to them, the adhesive I used (seriouse stuff) took to long to dry and dried white, diddnt have the patience to sit their and wait to dry, will post pics up when complete.

Hi from this list what is the best one piece propshaft to buy for the zed? Looks like its rebuild time. will post more info when i get it. Cheers Lads http://www.z1motorsports.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=driveshaft For my UK TT manual

Hi all, is my zed on here ? I sold it to a chap from Scotland. it would be good to see how it is. :duffer:

Brake pipes are always an issue at MOT time but its good to be sure they are ok in-between MOT's also, a sudden loss of brake fluid and very poor foot pedal on this zed was quickly traced to a very corroded rear pipe that had just let go. Interestingly it and the other pipes seem to have corroded much worse where the fixing clips are, for some odd reason the normal pipe anti corrosion coating is not applied at these points, so for that reason alone this particular points need inspection more frequently. As it happens the rest of the pipes also need changing to put this right, a fair bit of wedge when its not expected, oh well to joys of zeds eh ? Jeff TT

Looking at some new rims front 18 x 8.5 et30 and rears 18 x 9.5 et30. I think the front will be ok but the rears will need spacers. Paul

My car started doing this coincidally after the fitment of a Profec-B boost controller, which I thought was down to a hiccup in the wiring up of this piece of kit. However after disconnecting it from its power source, I still have the problem. any ideas chaps ??

Just purchased this for the zed, looks quite tidy i think:hyper:, probably need to take it to a audio shop to get wired up as theres no plugs for it:headvswal http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360171567150&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&salenotsupported

I really like that purple one at 1.34mins. the red convertible, there seems to be a few videos of that kicking about seems pritty quick

going to set the timing in the next few days as the car is a little sluggish (could be auto box) and seems to get up to temperature very quickly pointing towards retarded timing should my auto be set to 15 or 25 btdc in neutral and which is cylinder #1 (left front as looking under bonnet?) as i dont have an induction driven strobe ta

Good news, I managed to pick her up early, and she's now parked in her new home. It's raining buckets here in Coventry at the minute, so pics are all indoor shots at the moment, in crap lighting, but I'll have better shots in a couple of days. I'm gonna wait till after USC to MOT her, or I'll just have that expense every year right at the wrong time next year, so I'm using my head, not my heart, and putting back the expected "On Road" date to sometime around the 2nd week of August. Considering she hadn't been started in over 2 years, the drive back was smooth, if a little smoky in drive at 3500rpm @ 70mph. Once I hit the overdrive button, and the revs dropped b…

Hello guys and gals. tracked these dump valves down and was wondering what you think? how much would you say they are worth, seller says they are just dirty and need a clean. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150360419626&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME%3AX%3ARTQ%3AGB%3A1123&salenotsupported

I have seen a few of these before, but not in one place http://300zx-twinturbo.com/pimpz/Default.htm

is there any way of tightening the boot so it doesnt rattle when my subs are booming?

Anyone know the spline diameter of the wheel studs? Ive done a Z32 rear hub conversion on my 200SX and need longer studs. The S14s use 14.3mm on the front, but a different 12.9mm spline on the rear. Are the Z32s the same or are they 14.3mm all round? Cheers :)

hi guys when I woke up this morning there were few drops of power steering fluid on the floor, anyone know how much it will cost to resolve it, has anyone tried lucas oil fix which stops leaks etc. or should I just replace the rack. I also noticed the hicas light came on so I checked on the forum and that was linked to power steering fluid so once I topped it up it went off. wanna repair it asap. can nissan repair the part or should I buy it second hand from ebay

Was on our way home from gatwick airport after dropping a friend off. saw you on the M25 and you were going the opposite direction. Loved the Rear Bumper and as you were yellow you stood out from ALL the other cars on the motorway (even though it was busy) NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!

i have a 91 tt auto import it is supposed to have been converted to mph and i have an old speedo face with my documents. i have also noticed that there is what must be a speed converter soldered on to the back of the clocks. the speedo seems to over read in proportion to the speed by around 20% i have checked the speed sensor on the box and fixed that (made no difference) the speedo also seems to suddenly drop to zero at speeds below 10mph aswell. i did notice however a few weeks ago whilst crusing at about 80 that it was showing the correct speed. is this going to be dry connections? also will using the speed converter that is fitted cause i…

Hi all, As my engine is nearly complete i have noticed my knock sensor lead has seen better days so im going to replace it. But is it worth changing the knock sensor aswell? Do they break or is it the lead that causes the problems? I have found a cheaper replacement knock sensor on ebay has anyone used 1on there Zed? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Knock-Sensor-Nissan-200SX-240SX-300ZX-Altima-Infiniti_W0QQitemZ140313294887QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item20ab52f827&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1683%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 Cheers Dan

Needless to say the engine this turbo came from was smoking like an old steam train, see whats wrong? Incidently never found the missing bits, not even down the exhaust? Jeff TT

Take a look at the amount of weights on the rear wheel of a zed I looked at last week, the wheels were almost brand new with brand new tyres, however both unbranded, adds up to 180grams! maybe just a bad casting on the wheel or banding on the tyre but I think its more to do with the low cost deals you see on the internet these days, quality has to be effected somewhere along the line.

I'm trying to connect my El dials plasma clocks to the headlight on switch. I've found the blue/white +12 dimmer for gauges but connecting to this puts the dial on permanently. Does anyone know which wire i need? cheers Dave
