can any of you guys point me in the right direction of good bodyshops in the north west area.....soops bits are far easier to come by than z bits so far my entire bodykit has cost less than £120

i have upgraded my discs to 3G bigger 2 piece units but kept the standard calipers, what i would like to do is go bigger again on the front and upgrade the callipers , either tarrox or brembo ( heard nasty stories with K sport items and warping of discs ) my question is can i put the 3G items on the rear and upgrade the calipers ( with a kit that has the handbrake assembly ) im sure there is one that does have it built in to the caliper........will have to check out the web ..what is the ideal size balance to maintain the equilibrium in the brake bias ??? has anybody done this ??

Ok, got the missfires sorted out after a good service. Found out that the vacuum hose for the turbo gauge was not working so after changing that the turbo gauge finally workes. When driving, the car never goes past the Second positive marker (half way into the plus boost) Ok so now i need to figure out why it is in safety boost. Also noticed that the temp gauge keeps working then not working intermittantly (hoping this is cause of safety boost as conzult showed no errors) however i may have a boost leak as i notice no matter what speed i am doing, if i hold down the throttle for more than say 5-6 seconds i get a drop in power (like hitting a wall)…

...related to the Air Conditioning? I have removed all of the air-con - and I am checking that the electric fan is for the benefit of the engine cooling - not the passenger cooling :D

Hi, Does anybody know where you can get a dog guard to fit the z please. Got 2 little jack russell crosses so they still have plenty of space in the back. In my last car they got hair all over the interior and even decided to have a good knaw at my handbrake which wasnt very pleasant to use after that. Had a look at a few places but the height of the boot seems to be a bit of a problem.

Hi, Im Rich aka trick from west sussex, I have a 1991 300zx lwb twin turbo, Im partner in a garage, my 300 is going to be our promo car but we have a problem, 300's are new to us as we only ever work on skylines, Our problem is this, I thought mine had been converted to mph but now my friends bought a series 2 (1995 model) and his is still in kph but his clocks are the same as mine, what should the clocks read? can somebody please help me???? Also do the series 1 or 2 300zx's have an oil light? as the dials in both cars have been played about with, luckly for me I know mine are the original and the milage is correct as I have all the history of the car even from when it w…

coming out of Port Solent, Portsmouth, lunchtime today, lady driver and young girl passenger, headed off for Portchester - nice looking zed, alloys and '99' rear spoiler - another one to add to the Pompey zed list:D

Hi all, i want to remove the spraypaint off my alloys as the lip is shiny underneth anything i can use without damaging what is underneth, thanks

Good technical advice is a good thing, it can help you save time, money and effort, but if you get bad advice it can go a long way to ruining the 300zx owning experience. I have mentioned before my dismay at some less than accurate tech information I see on the Internet in general and sadly some of it here hence this post which I hope will be taken positively and in no way a dig at anyone. The Internet, and Internet forum clubs are a great source of knowledge both from professional, amateur and enthusiasts who through their own separate experiences bring together a larger slice of knowledge than any single owner could have accumulated themselves BUT.... all of that i…

saw a white zed parked in the car park at the top but saw a very very interesting zed on show in the pits.

Hello, I used to be a member here when I owned a 300zx tt and would like to contact AndyP. As I am no longer a subscribed member I dont seem to be able to pm so please can you contact me on afullman @ hotmail.com (delete the spaces) Thanks mate.:):D P.S. This site is still the best club site for help and information. P.P.S. Miss the old ZX days:cry:

Can anyone tell me where i can get hold of the centre cap's for my set of Modena wheel's, have been trying for month's with no success.:o

Is there many different colours for 300zx's? Im asking as im picking up another bootlid this weekend, i have blue tint glass on my car, but the bootlid looks like it might have no tint. If this is correct, how easy is it to take the rear glass out?

........and after much fettle, stapling and gluing. Ive kept the templates I made out of cardboard, just in case.:hyper:

Bank holidays, more time to play. Thought I'd tidy up the speakers that were rattling around in the boot. MDF its a wonderful thing.:)

Hi folks, I've found the colour code KL1, but i can't find any spray cans in this colour. Does anyone know where i can get the colour from and it's name. Cheers here' the colour i need...

My new baby

Hello All Right i'll try to explain this as best as i can, having just purchased a HID kit, i thought i'd fit them today, no probs with the passy side works ok, did the drivers side, no good, the light flickers but doesnt stay on, so pluged the drivers side ballast and bulb into the passy side worked ok. Right so then i disconnected both HID and pluged the normal bulbs back in. the passy side works ok tested with meter 12volts no probs, now the drivers side has 12v at the clip but as soon as you plug the bulb in you only get 3 volts and for some reason both the main beams come on all be it very very dim, so somehow they are robbing the power from the drivers side dip…

Hello, i wonder if someone can give me a few pointers. I have been asked to change the head gaskets on a friends 300ZX Twin turbo. I have had a read through some posts and there seems mixed views on whether this can be done in car, or is it better to take the engine out. What is there to look out for when doing the job? Is it straight forward or is there anything special to look out for? Any specialist tools needed etc. Look forward to anyones replies.

They are indeed split rims, just been outside and there is a nut one side and a bolt the other, they do undo, on the dish itself its embossed =AV like a signiture, but can't find a set anywhere on the web?

Hi guys, Are Zeds 12volt negative ground? Cheerz Chris.:duffer:
