Had the zed MOTd today after 2 years off the road and was advised it needs new discs and pads all round, 2 front tyres but the back are right on the limit and a pair of rear droplinks. I've been looking at getting the Powertrix droplinks from DTA so I think I've made the decision with them and I'm going to try and get some part-worns for the tyres - I'm just after recommendations for discs and pads all round. What do you think? Are the powertrix droplinks well recommended? Cheers, James

Does anyone know/have the dimensions for the 4 intake pipes? I have a friend who might be able to manufacture them in different materials but would require detailed measurements. Not sure if this is possible but just seeing what's possible really... Thanks

Has anyone got an instuction manual for an Greddy FMIC kit for the 300zx? I need the fitting instructions. I believe Greddy made several versions mine is the one which come with the twin induction kit. Believe they done an 2 and 3 row versions, are the fitting kits different?

Is it possible to fit a tt diff in a na suframe?? I know you cant do it the other way round

Love at the top it says "relisted due to non contact of winning bidder and no deposit paid" The last auction ended at 21:20 then this one starts the same night at 23:20. Call me picky but thats not a great deal of time get contact and a deposit, I think someone was bumping up their own price and he won his own car lol :rofl: Said it before and will say it again, something VERY not right about this car, the description and faults etc. IMHO Stay well away unless its less than a grand, then and only then would it be worth a go. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/300zx-TT-twin-turbo-fast-t-top-targa-modified_W0QQitemZ280347022544QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=…

Hi Graham, Nice to see you back o the forum after 2½ years. Did you ever settle the disputes you had with several of our members, who paid you for parts from the Zed you were breaking in Dec 2006?

I got a set of rear R33 calipers but I don't think they came with the complete bracket to mount the brake pipe to. On the Z32 caliper the bracket that holds the small hard pipe out to join the flexi hose on the car is one piece. It won't fit the R33 caliper. The bracket that came with the R33 caliper doesn't have a mounting slot for the flexi pipe so that's no use either. It either bolts up to something else on the Skyline or there's another piece of bracket screws onto it with a hole for the flexi pipe to clip into. Am I missing something? How have you all connected up the pipes on these calipers? I'd thought of just doing away with the bracket and …

Any one tryed one of these? Sounds to good to be true.

trying to work out what parts to buy with my uprated suspension. I was looking at http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_526&products_id=3115, but I think it will work out expensive with postage. There are several different brands on ebay, some very cheap. Has anyone tried the cheaper stuff? also what do I actually need, just those three items, more or less?? all I want is to make the handling as good as possible

Take a look at the poor quality packaging that has been done on the exhaust sytem below, it was purchased on E-bay by a customer who had it shipped direct to us in advance of his zed arriving. No time or care been taken, remarkably seen as it was a £150 transaction the seller could of tried a bit harder eh? Jeff

Helloo! I used to own a few 300zx one non and one twin turbo. I've since sold and bought a Subaru Legacy GTB twin turbo. It's quite a quick car when you floor it but one thing that is lacking is the brakes. The fronts are just two pots and just don't give me any confidence compared to my old brembos on my Nissan TT from a R33 GTR....i don't expect them to be that good of course but know i can improve them. I'm looking to upgrade to Subaru 4 pots but noticed on flea bay someone selling a Nissan set from a 300zx and he thought they would also fit the Subaru. My question is has anyone bought or does anyone know if these will fit? Has anyone…

Hi all just wander what the oil pressure should be when cold, hot, idle and running? mine seems to be sitting at 0 nearly all the time, what could cause this problem?? Regards Andy

Hey Guys I´m guessing the owners of grey Z´s are more likely to know the answer to this one: The scuttle panel , i think it´s called ,,the plastic cover on the outside, below the winshield with vents...is it grey in colour , like the plastic where the side mirrors mount on or are they always black and mine have faded so much ? cheers Maz

i am a bit curious about buying a Z with over 100,000 miles on it should i be or not... if the car is in good nick should i buy one or is it the case that once it reaches 100,000 miles on the original turbos you have to spend some money and get them re-furbed. waiting for your awnsers YOU ARE GOD.lol:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Will attempt to remove the plenum in the next week or so,to replace my injectors and have read with interest the article on twin turbo.net. Question:- is it worth carrying out the water bypass,and what are the benefits/disadvantages, i guess nissan would not have fitted it if it was not necessary:tongue: And also looking on the above site it mentions drilling out the hose conn.........why:confused: i cannot see why this is required. Any thoughts and help Cheers Dave
