Hi there all, Going through my hard drive the other day and found some pics the miss'us took last winter. Here in Germany we had this weather for about a month a because of it the Zed didnt move for over 2 weeks. Oh and had to get the rear arches done because of it to LOL :headvswal:headvswal:headvswal Enjoy, Rob

I've been attacking the Z on two fronts this week. I have my three gauges fitted and all wired in as well as the sound system, while we were at it the front lights were all fixed as they weren't working. So all the drivers side dash and trim is now back together rather than looking like a plate of wire spaghetti! I also mocked up the run from the single turbo to the intercooler and intercooler to throttle bodies which includes two Bailey Venturi dump valves. Will have all the joiners and proper hoses next week so will post up some pictures once it's all done properly. Also picked up two small radiators to replace the large single one I can't fit in! Combined th…

hi mate, didn't know how to attach pics in prvt message, so i put em on here. al.

Just took some pictures of the z and tried to update my rides but pictures are to large to add. Can any body tell me how i can reduce them in laymans term please a bit thick when it comes to stuff like this:rolleyes: Dave

Lesson learnt after replacing the clutch, had a few bits to sort out ie, a few bolts and adjusting. After in a rush to get the motor running, OVERTIGHTEND the starter motor bolts and sheared the threads.:slap: Went to start today, and one turn then just a whine noise. Checked and the starter was hanging off. So an hour later after retapping the thread to the box with an M12 tap and die and its sorted, Been out testing it, and its so much better.:nana2:

are there any tell tail signs of a manual conversion simpally coz id like to know if my zed has always been a manual or if it has been converted :) :)

my NA has a problem, its hesitant when you lift your foot of the accelerator and put it back on. It also drops the revs when you try and pull away.

need to find a nice location for a photo shoot

Im just weighing up my options at the moment as it may look like one of my turbos is on it's way out. The car is showing just over 92000 miles but i think only 5-10000 miles were done in the uk as its a jap import so probably about 70,000 kilometers on what looks to be the original turbos so it's kind of understandable i guess. I recently had the middle boxes removed from my exhaust and replaced with straight through stainless to mate up with the stainless rear boxes. I purposefully left the cats in due to all the horror stories about the turbo seals going, etc.. So, after doing the box removal, i now have a little white smoke coming from the passenger side exhaust. Luc…

hi anyone help me with a cheaer car insurance im 40 4 years no claims. tried adrian fux came up with crazy prices i have 300zx import. can anyone hep

well basically its been ages since i could do a diagnostic since i did all the work on the z last year now the last few weeks have shown up an odd problem i now seem to be getting a code 54 which i have never had before and shouldnt get!! 54 Signal circuit from the automatic transmission (A/T) (A/T models only) The A/T communication line is open or shorted Harness and connector mine is a manual and has been from the factory has anybody else had this problem and could it be caused by my duel mapped ecu?

What's the above worth out of interest? There's one around the corner from me quite a good example just need a good clean an polish. Seems a shame for such a good example to be so dirty. Needs a bit of love before it starts to turn to a rust heap. Looks like its running ok as it's on the roadside parked up so must have tax etc.

Could have been worse as it just skimmed the sump, the thread on the sump plug adapter is stuck in there which means the sump thread will be fine :) juts ordered a new sump adapter and sensor again grrrrrrrrr. Will post up pics soon. really close one... Im going to post up some pics of the damage and the massive lump in the road which has obviously taken out quite a few cars, you can see the grounding marks. The council will be hearing from me very soon.

How and where do i check my oil levels for auto transmission?

My car is lowered 40mm on 17inch wheels It doesn't have any aftermarket adjustment parts fitted, i have bought driftworks camber arms front and back and tension rods with the intention of getting it all adjusted. But, i haven't noticed any kind of abnormal tyre wear of any kind, how neccesary are these parts? is it possible i dont need them?

hope for a speedy sale as i have my next car in mind

Anyone tried this, 18" Rims on the front and 19" on the back, pictures if anyone has some. cheers Paul

I know this has been covered time after time but i wonder if some1 could shed some light on my particular case... Last year i changed my centre prop bearing and rear gearbox mount due to vibrations through the seat. This cleared the vibes and all was well. However, just recently the vibes have gradually been climbing there way back up the viboscale and now they are just as bad again. Due to the fact that the centre prop bearing cured it last time, would i be correct in assuming that the new centre bearing could have tightened up the propshaft but was imminently going to fail again with a latent prop failure, like worn u/j knuckles allowing the shaft to play, or …
