noticed my oil is a little low, would it be ok to top it up with, 10w-40 or 15w-40 as i have both in the shed just want to make sure thanks.

I was gonna get it off opieoils while the discount offer is on. I was thinking 3 litres of cheaper motul to completely flush the system, then 2 litres of castrol response super to bleed it up with. Is that going to be enough? ta, Jay

Hi People, thinking of keeping the Z now and putting it off road for the summer and doing some repairs. Going to remove the plenum and change the fuel lines underneath and injectors. But while doing the job was thinking of replacing the main engine wiring harness. But cant find any instrutions on how to replace the harness, can it be done on the ground or will i need a ramp? Regards Andy

hi everyone, just a quick question, i was wondering what the car key for the Z was supposed to look like, mine is a small key, the plastic is in the shape of a triangle with smooth corners & says TIMPSON on it, looks like a moped key to be honest, just wondered thats all, as it looks very boring and cheap.

the carbon canister is out, didn´t have the small hose on the fender that needed blocking off according to the write up, but it also mentioned that some peopple had written in to say they didn´t have it either, so that´s cool. rerouted the feul tank breather pipe and then went to the engine bay. took the two right hand side intercooler pipes off, capped the small pipe on the throttle body and also the one that goes to the balance bar, as "instructed" The problem is the write up says after removing the IC pipes "Now look down toward the front of the car, just outside of where the large IC hose ran from the turbo down to the IC. Find the metal vacuum galley as …

Some of you might be aware that an electrical problem has been causing me a few issues for the last 2-3 weeks. Many thanks to Geoff from Zedworld who pointed me in the right direction. Well today I narrowed it down to either the ECU or the switchable earth from the ECU to the coil relay. I found a cowboy job in the engine bay loom where someone had cut the wire and soldered in two other and they were both cut!!!! So 30 seconds of solder and a day finishing the coolant system and oil cooler she was ready for the big moment, the freshly built engine with the single turbo was ready for a test start :bow::bow: Although the turbo has no down pipe of gasket on it I had to…

Dan took me out today for a little spin in his z today since i havent been in one for a little while and i have to say, thats one very good car both in looks and performance:bow: Your photos dont do you any justice mate:nono: get some better ones soon mate:hyper:

Oh my god i could cry lol. Just spent a fortune getting the car ready for its MOT next week, and on my way home from work the speedometer has just dropped to 0, no twitching or anything, just dead. Any advice? :cry:

what types of material's are the front's of the z made of. As mine has been in for a respray on the front and seal's.The day after i got it back i noticed cracking along the front of the car.Returned the car to spray shop on monday they appologised about crack's and would sort it out.I phoned them yesterdsay (the owner was back)he informed me that if he was in monday when i took the car back he would not have re-done the work.They phoned me thisafternoon only to explain that when they put the car in the oven to bake the material that the nose is made of is shrinking under the paint.Have any of you heard of this or had this problem.:(

Hi folks I havent used my car for a few weeks until today, now it as a fault the driverside indicators front and rear are flashing very fast and the passenger side window is not working are they sharing a relay or something or are they 2 different faults. Wolves

is there a guide somewhere to remove the tubs from the engine or is it a case of suck it and see,. oh! forgot the engine is out of the car.

Is it possible for the zed to go into safety boost when running say 14 psi on boost jets?

Hi guys, I need new disks so I'm wondering about 3G and DBA. Given the cost differences, what are the benefits going to be? the Zed is still essentially stock, and will stay that way, so I don't need the big brake kit or anything silly. Most of my driving is going to be hooning around B-roads in Northumberland, so the brakes will need to be a little bit good (otherwise I'd just go to Kwik Fist), but I'm not likely to be tracking any time soon. chris

What do people think of these? I know FunglyBumpkinSi will hate them cos they are cheapo fake spit rims and not the real thing, but what about everyone else? Does anyone have them fitted and if so can you show us a pic! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-SILVER-SHARK-ALLOY-WHEELS-NISSAN-300ZX-TYRES_W0QQitemZ140317116889QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET?hash=item20ab8d49d9&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A1%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

Hi does the drivers seat on a SWB go back as far as a LWB to give you the same leg room? I ask as I needed the seat on my LWB right back to drive in a comfortable position.

As topic says, are there any specialist in london or at least just outside of it that are as good as ZedWorld? i as much as i would rather take my car there, right now i cant commit to that kind of journey from where i live. My mech is very good at very good prices but the zed is something that is beyond his scope as his more used to mazda's, supra's, german cars, fords etc
