Bought a 300zx off a forum member here and all was well. 2 days after i had bought it i noticed that when you floor it it gets to about 90 ish then there is a power loss for a second. does not matter if i let go or keep my foot on it will still have that second where it lets go anbd it feels like i have slammed the brakes on..... Changing air filter this week as noticed mine is black (red originally) however when i went out the other day it started doing it at 60mph... then it will be good until about 90 then does it in intervals! Having looked at the forums it could be anything /sigh list of possible things: CAS fuel filter or crud in bottom of tan…

evening all can anyone tell me the nissan part number for the fuel filter on a TT its a jap import if that makes a differance. :o

Was in the red astra, signed up to see what tune that beast was running! Made me look stupid off the line :D. Been looking for a project car as well :D

I currently only have 1 Labree downpipe like this one. Dont ask! http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?products_id=1531 I am going to have to buy another set and was wondering if to get the same ones or to try different ones? Anyone with any experience of these? Also they offer them in 2.5" or 3" piping. Which would be best to get? I am going to have to get an exhaust fabricated anyway if that makes any difference? They will be fitted to GT675RS tubs.

still at the garage but this is what it looks like so far. needs a clean but will look good when polished up. :D

A Red one in the car park..Anyone here?? I work there and had a CCTV camera facing it to make sure no one touches it...;)

I know it wasnt going to be great seen as the car is running rich even more so on the nearside bank which was 9.8afr or so :(, and not to forget its a hot day today ;) But overall im happy i have a figure to compare for when i fit the BIG BLOWERS and have it mapped yeehaaaaaaa Im thinking gt535r's or the gt600r's ???? does anyone know the difference between the 2? I know they are ball bearing 5 bolt turbos and thats about it. Was at a place called Red Dot racing in enfield. Handy as its only 15mins drive for me. They own a serious mr2 turbo track car and a skyline was on the rr before me. Video:

Does anyone else have Shift at Will fitted to their car? Does anyone know if Maciej is still making them? The website's still 'up' but I guess that doesn't mean a lot. I'm having a problem with my system, the alarm won't switch off, I've emailed Maciej but wondered if anyone else had experienced problems? Thanks Tim

Come on own up...... 2000 model :slap: i think not. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2000-NISSAN-300zx-SWB-in-RED-NO-RESERVE-must-go-MANUAL_W0QQitemZ220388701771QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item220388701771&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A4%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

Im sure many of your will remember this Photoshopped design from the TwinZ guys in Peru : Well, they have been making progess with an initial draft : No release date yet though.

Can anyone tell me if its a simple swap to replace the airbag steering wheel (which I dont really like) with the Series 1 wheel ? Thanks Mark

Anyone done this? Dont want to keep phoning Jeff as I know hes busy, and I need this doing asap now. Got the oil and a tube of HPLS transmission treatment. Is the diff different? Im presuming the diff is in the rear axle but the oil I have is mixed (75w/90) so can I use it for the diff too or is it somehow all linked up? Im hoping the gearbox oil change will quieten down my noisy drive. Any techniques to fill/ drain gearbox? Cheers

do you have too remove the turbo elbows to get the engine out or can you just undo the exhaust at the start of the catts??

Hi All , finally after 4 days ( which seemed like 4 months ) of waiting , i finally picked up my zed today . BUT ............ it has a number of issues , and i would really appreciate your help , as they hopefully will be simple fixes ( fuses etc ) , but the paranoia is getting the better of me ! . first up : its a jap import SWB manual twin turbo , and i initally presumed it had approx 55000 miles on the clock ( when i picked it up the odometer read 94000 , which i presumed was KM , this = approx 58000 miles ) but on the drive home the odometer changed every mile ! , 102 mile drive from liverpool to holyhead changed 102 on the odometer ! . the clocks …

whos the blue 300 flashing in worthing twice now

car had its mot on friday it passed with no faults:D

Oki doki chaps when i pull off from a stand still sometimes i get this horrible squeal from the back which kid of sounds like a tyre squeal but it isnt!! (if that makes sense) Looking through the forums it seems it may well be my Diff is low on Oil! i have checked for leaks and found None :( Question 1. Which Diff oil should i get?? (Stock LSD) Question 2. Could it be anything else???? Many thanks Munny

Hi everyone, As the title says really, cleaned the car after getting her back from the bodyshop. Came up ok I think but it does show off the 3-4 shades of red on her :headvswal:headvswal:headvswal Anyway now the summer is here there's no excuses for not getting her to how I want. More jobs to do this week so will add more pics as and when. Laterz, Rob :nana2::nana2::duffer::duffer::duffer::nana2::nana2:

As you know, I wrote off my Silver Z:( I have got salvage rights on it so I have access to a good engine and gearbox, and just under £2000 in insurance money, plus whatever else I can sell on the silver one. If you were in my posision would you sell the engine and gearbox to make a bit more money, or buy a Z with engine problems??? I have the tools to remove and fit engines and anything else that need doing

Been looking at some us forums and it seems there adement that tt slicktops were never made by nissan .Are tt slicktops not allowed to be imported to the states then.

Cheers lads - What a lovely memory of the last time I'll be posting on here - My post being deleted. You could have at least asked me to remove the link if thats what you didnt like. I've been on this web site since it very first started -check my details- so you could at least have been decent about it.

Guys, Just seen this on flebay, 100 quid, not mine, but mite be want someone wants. Item no 220376145243 Cheerz Chris:duffer:

Had a look into my brake problem over the weekend and it seems my pistons are jammed. Only checked the driver side front and three of the pistons/cylinders are not working. Couldn't even move them. I guess they are coroded from inside. :( So, rang up Kwik Fit this morning and they recon it'll be around £1500 to replace all the disks/calipers. But they come with a good warranty and a lifetime warranty for the pads. :( I don't think a caliper refurb kit will do any good :( any ideas or suggestions?

Suddently my zx started to smoke huge from the tail pipes. One day later started to smoke from under the bonet as well, just when i start the engine, for a bit. Where should i go to repair it? The car is highly modified. Thanks
