There are some nice bits on this zx 99 spec headlight and rears. BUT fook me look at that spoiler:shock: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300-ZX-FAIRLADY-TURBO-T-BAR-1994-L-REG-MANUAL_W0QQitemZ400048640393QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item400048640393&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

Just took the Z out, didn't notice it at first, but looked down and saw my Speedo was sat at 0 and the milometer wasn't moving (everything else working fine). Turned round to take it back again and looked down and suddenly it started working again. Are there known faults with speedos doing this? I'm going to take the binnacle off in a second to check that all the connectors are snug and 'clipped'.

this is not a picture of my cars engine bay... BUT.. I would just like to know what the parts are that I have circled.. as I can't find a Haynes manual/site which tells me what all of the engine components are... The Bottom right one has "coolant" on it.. i'm guessing this is for the radiator.. some sort of overflow tank?.. but it doesn't have any levels on it so I can tell how much is in it?... And the top one.. is just a little metal container thingy.. lol.. can someone tell me what they are for please :) Also.. if anyone could direct me to a link where It has an explanation of engine bay items that would be great.. and finally.. do the rear washer …

i want to replace my intercoolers, for bigger ones, is it as simple as just buying one and fitting it, or is it alot more technical then that. Dom

How do i remove the gear knob, as mine my interior is a little plain. so thinking of fitting after market gear knob & hand blake lever, pedals etc don't want nothing to in ya face as i like my car just want to brighten it up a little.

Since the my Z is more than 10 years old I'm guessing it can be insured as a classic ? Does anyone here insure theirs as a classic ? Can you recommend a provider ? Any help much appreciated...... Mark

Is 380 bhp possible ,these are my mods /de cat/trust exhaust system/hks filter/stillen side mounts/hks boost controler /mines ecu/nismo clutch/.Still running standard turbos will 1 bar get this or do i need bigger turbos/ injectors etc thanks.;)

Hi can you get replacement silicone intercooler hoses for the standard intercooler take offs behind the bumper not in engine bay .Was thinking of changing mine when i fit my new stillen side mount intercoolers.thanks.:cool:

Saw you heading along Muller Road yesterday, just gone under the railway bridge. I wasn't in my Zed (and going the other way), but I could see a lot of staring from people in the cars infront and behind me :) Certainly the Zed's have presence.

Hello all Sorry Steve! I bought a longlife exhaust recently and have Greg Dupree divorced downpipes and 2fast2cool decats. Its just too loud sounds like a trumpet rather than an exhaust at low revs. What can I do to fix it? Cheers all Ron

Is a ET40 offset anygood?

Is the NA automatic box the same as the TT, i.e., are they interchangeable ?

I've posted up many threads regarding what to do about refitting CC to a Z with an aftermarket steering wheel. I have never liked the original wheel. One of the few things I dislike about the Z32 was its dated bus sized wheel. First I went down the route of looking into fitting the SRS equipped Zs CC stalk. This turned out to be a bit of a failed idea as, whilst researching and doing some measurements, found out that the SRS equipped Zs use a longer steering column with a different column shroud. Needless to say, none of it would have fitted unless I'd have swapped out the column. SOD THAT! I moved onto relocating the buttons that would have come with the old st…

...what do you reckon? I think they're cool.

My mate got a seat lean cupra 1.8t 20v with front mount intercooler, remap & induction kit, he's running at a guess 235bhp he wants to race me, should i waste some fuel, need to change my gear box oil as it crunches at very high rev's when i change gear its perfect when driving normal, any suggestions peeps, as tomorrow i'am gonna kill him on a quarter mile.

Hi my Z is fitted with a aftermarket boost gauge and was wondring does that measure the pressure from one or both turbo's, also i want to fit a dump valve & was wondering if i need one or two as the Z seem's to have 2 of everything lol.

The new engine is back in and the single turbo conversion almost finished but know the car won't start. Symptons There is no spark, I thought I had fuel but now not so sure as I have plugged in a spare CAS and turned it and the injectors aren't clicking. I am going to check the loom, PTU/CAS connections cleaned. I also changed the car loom with the fuse box, my guess would be something to do with that. So my questions are, which part of the car loom could affect the electrical running of the engine? Any other suggestions? Really want to get this conversion running so all help appreciated.

As the title really, I placed an order from CZP last Wednesday night and just over a week later it arrived. The service from them was A1, mega prompt replies to my email enquiries and best of all its has worked out a just over half price compared with UK supply. Not to mention that they had it all in stock and if ordered from the UK most of my order would have taken over 3 weeks as it needs to come from Japan. Just thought I'd share my shopping experience:duffer:

http://www.z32-zone.com Great site to surf for bits and pieces......if you can forget it's all in Japanese ! If you just follow hot-spots on any given page it usually leads to goodies that wll make you think 'Oooh I want one of those' ! Well it did for me :) Apologies of this site has been posted before....... Mark

I am thinking of replacing my stock steering wheel, does anyone know where i would go to find another that has the same functions with the cruise control.

garage have had problems bleeding the clutch. incase you dont know ive done auto to manual conversion. what parts wernt removed from the manual? the hard lines were removed, the cylinders, pedal (obviously) something in the engine bay they said???

garage have put the TT engine in the NA car. the TT powersteering pump didnt line up with something on the NA car? so theyve used the NA pump (but i did tell them the pump was broken :headvswal) why cant u use the TT power steering pump? or is there a way around it?? really doing my head in now :headvswal

Hi all i want to install a amplifier in my Z32 and was wondering if there is a easy way to get the 12v wire from the engine to the inside of my car, also under the plastic of the drivers side boot speaker there something that looks like an old amp or electrical brain i dont know what it is any idea's. thanks Dom
