had a little burn with one of these on saturday morning on the way to work. i did not know what it was till i got to work and googled it. she was a 56 plate chevy, SSR pickup "yanky thing" V8 6.0L 0-60 5 secs (i think?), wanted a bit, so gave a bit........and left it a far bit behind!!! i love my 300!! Al.

i know it sounds silly but around the radio there are no screws and it will not come out with a bit of persuasion with a screwdriver. is there an easy way to take it out and if so can someone instruct me on how to. thanks in advance.

Hey all Cleaned and polished the car so I couldn't help myself and take some pics

Got to get rid of my car already as i might be losing my job

people keep putting calipers from different cars on there zeds so i had a look and found these and am very tempted. but will they fit and how easily. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/JAGUAR-S-TYPE-R-BREMBO-BRAKE-CALIPERS-AND-DISCS_W0QQitemZ200245057174QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item200245057174&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A4|65%3A3|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A200#ebayphotohosting

Had one of the rare days, that i wasnt doing anything, so i got on with a few odd jobs that ive been putting off. Have a slight bubble on the passenger targa, so after a bit of digging and cleaning i find this. Whilst the filler is drying, i decide to spray a spare engine cover. And take apart a spare rear panel, to make my own 99 spec style. Bit of a pain to do, but after heating with a hairdryer, it comes apart in one piece. Having checked up on a thread on TT net, i removed the '300zx' very very carefully. and sprayed up the inner panel to silver

Hi there all, Bought some Evo8 calipers off flea-bay. Seen some of you guys have fitted these already, do you have any pics or diagrams of the mounting brackets I will need to get made? Have a metal bender at work gonna try and get to make them for payment in beer.:dance::dance: Want to get these made asap so its all ready to go on the car when the calipers arrive. Many thanks as usual :bow::bow:

in with the new....... Another job been waiting for months that I finally did today. Just about due I'd say too. The last one of these I installed came with 4 brackets that were a bit of a pain to install to the chasis, this one didn't. Made the job a little quicker, still cut f##k out of my arms getting the airbox off but got it off in 1 piece again without having to cut it off. other side of filters was clean as a pin so at least they were doing a good job and they were oem's

Red reg G300 *** Parked up Pettycur Bay???

I need to get new plates made up and I have the rear oblong kind-I have just been to Halfrauds (twice, long story) and they say they don't do them and can only do square motorcycle style ones. Where else can I try to get one from?

I've just opened up my ecu to find out exactly what chip i'm running and what its designed for but its an se-nissan chip who appear to have ceased trading? so can't find any details from them! anyway, does anybody have any idea what my chip is designed for? i.e. what mods, how aggressive it is etc. the number on it is SEZ32.460 if that helps? any help would be greatly appreciated cheers guys

my wheels are back & looking great, ive had the rims polished & the centers done in glacia white, :hyper: what do you think??

Anyone ever tried these on their zed? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-GIANT-NISSAN-300zx-Twin-Turbo-Upgrade-Turbochargers_W0QQitemZ400048624221QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item5d24c1925d&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=65%3A3|39%3A1|240%3A1318

I have this thread posted http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=125525 but when I plugged in conzult and read ecu fault codes first was error 34 knock sensor, second try and the screen said 'reading' and then the screen filled with ddddddddddddddddddddddddddreading...... The dddd kept getting longer, same eveytime after 4-5 goes. Never seen this, any ideas???

Hi there everyone, Had a bit of a nightmare week this week. Got a couple of problems that I'm hoping you can help me with. 1. Front left brake caliper pistons has seized, 3 of the 4 totally stuck solid. 2. Rear brake lines will not part from the hard metal lines. The join is totally rusted solid. Have goodridge lines to replace them with. I have tried all the obvious solutions to both problems but all to no avail so its now time to get serious. I am open to any solutions including upgraded calipers but nothing too stupid in price please. The car is my daily driver and being off the road out here is a total disaster. Many thanks, Rob

I found this website ages ago.. and it says something I can't get my head around...http://www.torquecars.com/nissan/300zx-tuning.php .. one of the paragraphs reads "An induction kit will help increase power.. blah blah..remember to get a cold air intake fitted as well"..... What is the difference between an induction kit & a cold air intake?? is there one?? aren't they the same thing??

The condition on this is spot on and only 24k on the clock. very nice motor for someone. minus the eyebrows http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300-ZX-3-0-V6-TARGA-3DR-AUTO-TWIN-TURBO_W0QQitemZ270386893686QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item270386893686&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A3%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
