Found out my car has a factory rear illuminated centre panel :) But it doesn't work :( Where can i find a replacement 12v 110 inverter like the one below. (or different one that works) Bit of info for anybody who wants it http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?p=884911#post884911

Lovely day out today and my zed has been sat absolutely filty for a while so i decided to treat the old girl and clean her. Also since i wiped my lappy clean a few weeks back i have no pics of my zed left saved on my lappy, so took a few to show off and save. Gotta say i'm very happy with how it looks right now - got it nice and clean :D Oh and also i gave my engine bay a wipe down and took a piccy of that too.

I had had my wheels fixed after finding a crack in the rim, new tyres, new clutch, etc. Want honest views on a few things. 1. Ditch the spolier and skirts and go "smooth look" 2. Black out the rear quarter windows 3. Lower the rear a bit more, so that the tyre is just upto the arch. Has 18" Gewalt split rims which i love, but still want ideas on the skirts and spoliers, do i go smooth or keep as is.

Hi all My left o2 sensor is reading on average 0.17v but when I rev it goes up to o.6 or so the right one is steady at 0.6 or so. Do i need a new left o2 sensor?

Anyone have these turbos fitted? What did you do about adapting the inlet? Using a silicon hose isnt really an option as it would be too close to the manifold, (Maybe IF it was heat wrapped?) And how did you fit your actuator? I hear this has to be moved and adapted also.... LYMON You out there????? i read a thread you posted in, iirc you have fitted these turbos, i saw pics of the fitment but the inlet wasnt connected yet. Can you share any info on this??? here it is: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=47068&highlight=GT25R im already aware the engine mount has to be slightly grinded which is easily done.

Hi, I'm just wondering, has anyone removed the standard rear 'foam rubber' type spoiler? How much damage did it do to the boot lid. And how difficult was it to fit a hoop type spoiler. Cheers Ian

Went for a road trip last Saturday with some friends. Got a friend to take some pictures: :D The guy with the volvo estate is mental, I can't believe how well he managed to keep up with the rest of us! took this along for a bit of fun when we got to our destination, I thought the pictures were quite cool:

:smash::hyper: It's taken 3 attempts but finally got the plenum on, solved two leaks and now the car starts on the key. Remind me not to sell the plenum off a zed again! :headvswal Step one's done now to tidy up the bodywork, clean, bit of rewiring inside, fit the working gauges, put in the new clutch and it's ready to sell :hyper: Truly gutted to sell Zena but whoever gets her is going to get a real deal :( More pics to follow as i tidy up and spray the engine bay and polish her up for the last time

got back from a quick spin in my zed today and noticed that my headlights only work on full beam also my sidelights do not work and my rear lights do not work. checked the 2 15amp fuses under the bonnet and they are fine. any advice on this one as my reversing lights and brake lights work fine.

iv got a lwb on 18's and im about to have these ---> fully blended into the bodywork like this----> im not buying coilies iv been down that route and as im a perfectionist i was constantly fiddling with them... i had a set of pi 40mm springs on my calibra and they were fine did the job and didnt scrape (too much) so whats the safest drop in mm? and has anyone got any lying around? am i gonna end up ripping bits of side skirts off

and hoses, gonna change these as they havent been done that i know of and appeeretly it will make my car run even smoother wuwhooooooo (for the new owner lol)

saw you as you were comeing out from tescos car looked absolutley fabulous you then went through town and head out towards netherd

I am after a new exhaust system for my ZX LWB TT, I was wondering what the best options are, I am contemplating on getting a custom one made or just going for one of the Branded ones i.e. HKS. I know it's all down to personal preference, but does anyone have any info on which exhaust is proven to be the best overall?... Do X style make better gains than the H style? or is that just for looks?.. Is a single exit better than a twin? Finally, all the kits I look at never include a manifold, why is this?. Cheers!

although still lots to do i think it looks a little better lol before after

how do i change them anyone got any links, im going to change the vavles and pipes before i sell as ive been advised it would be best to change them

http://evalbum.com/2332 Should be cheap to run, but I think expensive to build. Since I watched the program on the killing of the EV1, I have been searching to find if a conversion has ever been done to a Zed. The thought may be sacreligious to some, but think about a cheap to run, nice looking motor that would have practically zero road tax (over here normal tax for the 3.0 is horrendous - around €1300). Just wondering if the thought appeals to many or any from the club. When I get funds (after I get a job again and after I clear my accumulated debts - probably 5 years time !), I would love to have a go at a conversion.

What the hell is this guy on about??? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-WING-FRONT-O-S-FERRARI-STYLE-5OO-HP-ENGINE_W0QQitemZ370185690721QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item370185690721&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318
