Was in taxi headin to my hotel tonight for going offshore tomorrow and drove past a red 300zx looked like a SWB, black alloys pritty standard, looked nice. think that is the regi plate that was on it. Anyone on here?

Coming home tonight and I over took someone and as I went to change gear I heard a crunching noise and found it difficult to engage a gear. Finally got it in gear but everytime the gear engaged it made a funny noice and seemed to jurk a bit. It still went though. Just gone out to see if it was OK. Put it in 1st and pulled away but when I engaged 2nd gear and released the clutch, nothing :rant: I had to coast down the road to park up. Now it will go into gear OK but when I release the clutch it won't go anywhere. :rant: Any ideas ?

Just bought a set of alloys off the bay of e, but they dont come with tryes the wheel sizes are 18"x8.5 fronts and 18"x9.5 rears. What size tyres will i need to keep the rolling radius the same as standard (or close as poss)?

my car has just had new HUGE discs fitted and when i went to fit my new wheels WITH 6MM spacers they would not fit so i now need to get some 8mm spacers and extra long wheel studs:cry:

Hi, As the title says i've been trying to find my perfect alloys for my Z for what seems like an eternity. All i want is some plain 18" 5 spoke wheels without any of the flares or twiddely bits or fake allen bolts that seem to be on every other wheel out there. Going on an earlier thread by FunkySi i was thinking of getting a slight stagger with the fronts being 8.5" wide and the rears being 9.5" wide. I assumed that as 5 spoke's seem to be the most common alloy's about i'd have no problems finding some, but almost all the wheels on the many, many websites i've looked at are way too over designed with all the plain 5 spokes being too small or too narrow. I'…

Couple of gearbox related questions for you. I have a manual NA. If i fit a TT engine i will need to buy a TT clutch and flywheel. Are there any other changes needed or will this all go together no probs? Also, i have a one piece Z1 propshaft. If i change to a TT gearbox, will the propshaft still fit? Cheers

The Truck Racing Team I work for is being co-sponsored by Autoglym this season, so being sat in Oldbury and away from home and nothing better to do I thought I would try some of the various sprays and polish on my car which I just happen to drive up in this week, well I wish I had a camera because she's polished up a treat, well pleased with my evenings work, time for a couple of :duffer::duffer: OK one more:duffer:.

Where should the pipe under the plenum attach to? noticed it wasn't plumbed into anything. And where should the pipe with the white dot go to? mine has a screw in the hose.

my data scan log to for analysis. today the z seemed really sluggish, some days its pulls like a train other days its sluggish. dont know what is the standard figures/values for most of the components so anybody wanna look at what i recorded if so i can hopefully send it out via email. its only stationary @ idle 2k rpm 3k rpm one test was with the aux fan connector disconnected then connected cheers gaz

parked at the kebab van nxt to b+q on cranes farm. white with a smooth tailgate and a bodykit of some sort and gleaming......about 12am tuesday night...not seen this one in bas vegas before.......

ok here goes i am trying to get a grasp of what is going on. i have a TT SWb Auto and the needle never moves anywhere from 0. doesnt go - or +. had turbo's checked and they are not blown and i also done the idle test and never got any smoke from the exhausts. Having had the engine checked i have been told that two wires/cables that run either side of my engine (apparently connect to turbo's) are not connected properly and so the ECU has no control over the boost :eek: apparently they were not plugged in properly and exposed to the air and have broken. been told can plug back into ecu control or get boost controller (if i can find one cheapish) started worr…

hey , ive got a water leak in my radiatior but the garage told me the radiator is modified so they cant fix it, can anyone help me cuz i dont see how the radiator can be modified

I remember reading about a layshaft in a box that spins. My prob is on my manual gearbox is that on tickover I have a whining noise that raises in pitch with the revs. When I press the clutch down it goes totally - this means if im sat at a set of lights or in town I have to keep my clutch down to stop the stares..... It also whines when driving (more if I throttle off I dont notice it but under load its pretty bad) Im going to replace gearbox oil this weekend (hopefully). Do you think this will sort it? Could it be that its low on oil or has old oil that is causing the whine? Cheers

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
