Hi guys, I'm trying to find out what pressure the NA/TT power steering rack puts out through those metal pipes front and back. I only ask as i'm looking at replacing them with areoquip connectors and hoses but they're only rated to to a certain pressure? If anyone knows or could find out pretty sharpish as i need the pipes making up to get the subframe in and ultimately the V8 engine in. If i can't use aeroquip it means waiting another week for the engineer to get back. Cheers, Nick

Well the 300 was a little dirty when I picked it up, and I've not had the time to do anything about it until today, well yesterday now lol. Cleans up pretty well, but due to the body needing some tidying and some welding, it's gonna get worse before it gets better.......

The rubber ends on the targa bar locator were in a bad way and the only to replace them was a new locator so started this morning removed inside roof trim to get at the bolts for centre locator once removed and area cleaned new locator was fitted and trim replaced. Roof looks like new now so well pleased what do you think old t bar locator roof trim removed new locator old locator removed and new locator fitted

Hi all My Zed arrives from Japan in about a week (VERY excited) so what I need to know is what needs to be done to make it appropriate for the UK ? And who can supply me with the parts/expertise I may need ? The only thing I can think of is converting the speedo. Where can I get the necessary bits or can anyone recommend an expert ? Anything else ? All advice very much appreciated. Mark (Topless) is Martyn still working on Zeds ? He was my nearest Zed mechanic....... Mark

Hi All, trying to fit a Momo wheel, the boss has the copper looking ring around the bottom to connect (rub) to the car, but there is some plastic device on my car that will not "rub" on the Momo boss. What is the way to get the horn connections to work? Do I have to buy another part or moidify the original? Thanks

Does anyone know, or have seen a switch panel converted to one shot lowering for the passenger side? I know the rocker switches are different size, but is the main switch itself the same size as the driver's one? I am just considering the possibility of converting the passenger window switch to a one shot like the drivers' side.

Drivers side window issues? the window power amp controller has a habit of failing leading to an intermittent or non working window, lucky it is a very easy fix and free to boot if you can use a soldering iron. The unit in question is fitted in the drivers door, it is held in place with a single 10m bolt and has one 8 way connector plugged in to it, roughly just off central towards the rear of the door. Once removed the outer case needs easing off the lower connector area, the internal part then slides out in one piece. Photo 1 shows the internal parts of the unit and the pcb its all mounted on removed from the outer case, the two relays to the left are th…

Hi I need to upgrade my brakes and would like to know if this set is any good! This set is a big brake kit from Revolution Brake LLC. Price is $800 dollars + shipping. The set includes: ROTORS, 323mm diameter, 30mm thick (about 12 3/4" x .1.18") curved vane directional, cross drilled. The curved vanes are designed to pump air through the rotors as they rotate for superior cooling in high performance driving conditions. The huge thermal mass and cooling efficiency of these rotors virtually eliminates brake fade. These are 43 mm larger in diameter than the little stock rotors!!! CALIPERS, Wilwood forged Superlite four piston fixed mount. These calipe…

Righto, I'm looking at buying a ZX, at a very good price in need of some work. I'm told it was imported at 86k, and now has 97 showing. Now the way that I took it, is that there are 86k km (53 or so k Miles) plus 11k miles, not that it's now showing 97k Miles. Am I right in thinking this? Normally when you convert an import, you make it register miles, but you can't change the existing? Or is it at all likely that they would have wound it back to 50k when they converted it? if the first, could mean I'm in for even more of a bargain once it's fixed up :confused:

Just polishing up my bike and going to put on biketrader to get the cash to move to a 350z, just wanted opinions on cost, maintenance, running and general experiences of them if anyone has one so that I can get an idea of what they are like to own. Cheers,

Does anyone from the club go to this meet? I would be interested in going and meeting some of you guys. ;) http://www.woodvale-rally.org.uk Daz.

Just wondering what would people regard as the items required changing in a standard full service, as in the 100,000km mark, cause I want to do one to mine for peace of mind. I was thinking all belts, pulleys, tensioners, waterpump, flushing brake system, engine oil and filter, auto transmission oil and filter, and fitting idrium long life spark plugs. Is there anything I am missing regarding a 300zx? Also what engine and auto transmission oil is recommended? I presume like most Jap cars of the era that the engine oil will be 10W40 semi-synthetic, and that the transmission oil needs to be D111 rated? Thanks.

We've been working for quite long time making a couple of new products for the 300ZX: Rear bumper and rear bumper with diffuser. Both are currently designed for the 2+0 (swb) version only, but we already have a 2+2 (lwb) waiting for surgery ;) We're very happy on how things turned out after all the hard work we have put in this project...We are doing our best effort to make this products available in the US and Europe sooner than expected. In the US we got lots of dealers asking to sell our products, but now the search for a dealer in Europe starts, since we weren't lucky last time we tried...As you already know "someone" copied our front bumper (version 1) and …
