Hi folks, got my 300 today (love it) but i need new steering rack mount bushes and a bush for the rear offside track rod. Does anyone know where i can get uprated ones from? The rear bush is circled below, not got pics for the steering ones though. Here's some pics i took earlier, good one's 1st Then i need to sort this out, Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers:)

Works out at about £650 which is a lot I realise but all reports are that they are great...... http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h128701671 Mark

i have a auto uk 300zx k reg, done a manual conversion to it a while back,got a 300zx for spares g reg jap spec manual, would the manual loom plug straight into my auto loom or would i have to change the lot thank you

Need to replace my rear back boxes, any one have an opinion, on good makes,but not to pricey though money a bit tight. {and yes its a can of worms} !!!

was stripping out a 300zx what i bought for spares, under the bonnet come across a oval shapped thing with hks evc controller wrote on it, it plugged into loom and had i think 3 vacum hoses on it. just wanted to know what it did if anyone else had them and if its worth fitting, thank you

My first ever attempt to polish a piece of metal, it was just a trial and will never go on the car but now i understand the process :) Wish id spent more time on it now though Ignore the imperfections and look at that shine :hyper:

I am thinking about slightly flaring the rear arches. I do not particularly want to change my wheels, but they probably will look undersized when done. Is adding spacers dangerous and does it effect handling plese? Thanks.

according to my 95 to 2000 service manual there is a circuit for "footlights" i'm asuming these will be small bulbs somewhere in the footwell that come on when the door is opened. the wiring seems to match the manual but i cant find the lights does anyone with a '95 onwards car have these? if so where exactly are they hiding?

ok im sorted for plugs now.. got a pair of 6 for £41 before delivery.... result ^^ i ordered 11C as im standard however my car is missfiring at the moment and getting worse.... one thing i noticed is that the reciept for spark plugs changed ages ago were showing as each plug at £3. >. hopefully when my new plugs come the missfiring should be solved :hyper:

i know the stock UK rear wheels are wider than the stock import rear wheels, but wheels confuse me so i was wondering..... what are the benefits of wider wheels? what are the down sides to wider wheels? is anything else different (ie in the wheel mounting) can i fit UK rears straight onto my import? will they stick out further or rub on the inside? can i fit import rears straight on to my uk car if i needed to? (ie keep just one size spare wheel)

My mate told me if i buy a new exaust system for my car it comes with 02 sensores already is that true? does that mean i would need to replace my turbos aswell?

Hi all Does anyone know if the driftworks rears traction arms will fit a zed? They only seem to be advertised as R32, S14, GTR etc. Although other sites do a single version which fits all including a zed? Any ideas?

thought i would take a few pics of the zed with my new sony ericson c905 8.1mp phone like the results :nana2:

Well it's been a bit slow with having to get Zena ready to sell and that's slowed down progress on the V8 so this weekend i've been busy blitzing the gearbox i need to sell and the engine block. I spent yesterday on the driveway cleaning and painting the borg warner t5 I had spare with the project. Have to say it's come up a treat so hopefully it'll sell pretty quickly and i'll get some money back for the tremek box i bought from keith 5700 the other week. BEFORE: AFTER: Then moved onto the engine block today which was covered in acid, oil, crap and all sorts of deposits. Add to that 30 quids worth of white spirit, wire brushe…

cleaned with mer for the first time, and well please with result's.

Hi All Just a word of warning. I bought some rear tension rods and camber arms from ebay and my passenger rear traction rod has sheered! Buy with caution. :nono: Cheers

Hey all Well i washd both the cars yesterday , and managed to get a couple of mins out of my failing camera batteries:rofl: , So thought i'd attempt a few quick pic's Firstly here's one of the Z a while ago ....and the others are from today (the main Z pic) ,does also highlight one of the bodywork issues i have to tackle! Sorting the shed out , hence the cat and box:cool:

Just some quick pics of my standard Z after a wash. Would like to big up Sussex Stu for your help today! Thanks Again Regards Andy

You flashed me sorry i couldnt stop and chat, your car looked nice though.;)

Having spent the last 6 months doing my own 60k service on the car (twice - don't ask) I have finally been able to wheel the car out of the garage. After giving it a clean I thought I'd take a few pictures as it came up quite well... It still needs a good polish and wax, but in the sun it looks ok to me. What do you think? Gareth

i anyone no off a good site where i can get a good body kit. dont want to be paying crazy prices though.

Hi all just looking around my engine bay convinced ive got an air leak. And found that pipe with nothing connected to it? comes off the pass side of the engine. should there be a pipe on there? where does it go? and what is this for and what problems will it cause my vehicle? Regards Andy p.s. its near numbers 24 and 17 in the engine pic

Just watched my Z drive off sold it today it looked stunning in the sun i will have another one.Will have some spares for sale soon will have to sort the garage out and have a look what i have got but not today will pop onto the site now and again but may i take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all the people that have helped me during the course of owning my Z so once again THANKYOU.

Where can i purchase these from, Trying to avoid buying from usa as the postage costs more than x10 the amount of the gaskets, ebay has them for $3 with a postage cost if $29.99..... no thanks. Im also trying to find an oil restrictor for the turbos but im not sure of the fitment i know the restriction size is .035, but i dont know wheather its -3 or -4 because i dont know my oil line size, how do i fnd out? :confused: ah its so frustrating trying to find such a simple part,,, im going to just buy the stock turbo gaskets and hole punch the holes further in :D:D:D
