Hi, i currently have a uk spec Z but just seen that some jap specs have folding mirrors! can these be retro fitted? if so whats required and what they like to install? Regards Andy

anyone got any ideas what this switch does, the one next to the gear stick. has an green led on the switch which only comes on when the lights are on. cant seem to work out what it does though. checked outside lights with it on and off

Mine is not working at all and decided to nearly kill me this morning. When switched off the red led lights up - I selected wet on the dial and led goes off. The green flashing led doesnt light when stationary then as you move it flashes and gets faster and faster BUT when tubs kick in the back end just slips everywhere. There doesnt seem to be any ignition spark adjustment whatsoever - not sure if theres a wiring fault or what but its never really worked. Any ideas?

Can I run this by you... I have a large centre mounted intercooler and so therefore have lost the two side mounted jobbies. I plan to replace the main radiator with a 56mm standard alternative and run two additional 19 fin 60x20x30 rads in the space left by the intercooler delete. One replacing the existing Oil rad and the other for the autobox oil. I have checked this out and I have the space - plus it will look pretty cool through my custom front bumper side vents. I am on my third ZED/TT and I am looking for longevity (as well as performance) - so a cooler engine/gearbox all round will be a good start right? This is not a hugely expensive mod as I…

im running out of time to find the exact colour my motor is painted in. ive tried central car paints here in Leicester, Halfrauds, and a dealership of the make i thought it was painted in. ive managed to track down the mobile number of the guy who painted it but had to shut up shop by contacting his best mate's dad, lol, but the phone is permanently switched off. ive seen so many paint chips i think im now colour blind, and ive got one month left :headvswal looking through more paint books aint gonna help, so can anyone recommend a place in the Midlands who has got the kit/expertise to say what it is?

i was bored today so i thought i know i will start working on the zed while im waiting for some parts to get here from america so i went out jacked it up so i could take the exhaust off so i can fabricate my singles into an x pipe coz there better anyway... got under there to find that someone had snapped a bolt off of each side allready :) put the socket on and turned it and off the nut came easy much to my suprise then i put it on the other one on the same side that did the same so all good now the other side...... got onto the first one turned it and snap thought of great so i then looked at the last one and saw that it had allready been …

Hi, Looking at the additional Oil cooler rad for my TT - most of the aftermarket ones seem to have a max pressure rating of 10 bar - is this ok? Andy :)

Just looked out the window and there is a nice looking Zed on Old St at Finsbury Square, going towqards Mooregate Station. :) VERY shiney wheels and an aftermarket rear spoiler. Looked nice for a red car :nelson:

Just rang up the insurance to get the Z's swapped. I declared all the mods and they wanna know how the BHP figure has changed. It has a mushroom filter and a stainless steel exhaust, is there a way to know if its been decatted without jacking it up?? what do you think the bhp will be

Pics as promised, be gentle:nelson:

ive got my manual car, crash damaged, so i have all the parts. putting the engine and box, and pedals etc into a automatic shell. is there a guide on any wiring that needs doing? (if any) or anything need to look out for?

Does anybody know where to get a koyo rad? Cant find them anywhere now. If not, will the koyo rad bracket fit a Howe radiator, and will the Zcentre electric fan kit fit a Howe radiator? Cheers

Thanks to darkside!! went and had a look at a yellow Z today and came home in it:nana2::nana2: It needs a lot of work but it will make a good project, maybe even a wide arch:cool: Will post some pics up tomorrow, but it dont look as good as the last one yet It only a na too, will have to do an engine swap too:rolleyes:

Hi all, I'm probably being a bit thick, but when i went to change my main beam bulbs i couldn't get the connector off. Should you just be able to pull it straight off and then be able to remove the bulb or is it a bit more involved than that? I didn't want to just wrench it off and find that i've damaged things.:rolleyes: Has anyone got the link to the correct page in the online manual? Cheers, Mark

saw one today for the first time in the flesh,,blue in tonbridge in kent, they are quite small in length i actually quite liked it in a funny kind of way:confused:

Guy wanted a rear box making,as trying to find a stainless exhaust supplier out here is a joke!:headvswal Says he was in the Z-club too, small world....................

just a big thanks to this site and thanks for all the usefull information it has given me over the last few months, now i have taken the plunge and am a fully paid member (should of done it ages ago i know ) keep up the good work:D

Spotted today (24/03/09) White 300zx Dirty! Around 1pm near cineworld

We i've been working on my z for 6 years now and its close to completion. I had many downturns with the car. But i got to drive it propperly for that first time last week. I originally bought a great gondor panel with a blue light 2 years ago but when i received it a top on the botton right side was broken. My question. Anybody knows anyone else who makes these? I only want it in blue. Great gondor stopped with the panels Ill post pics of my car later this week Best regards Steve

hiya. i have just purchased 3 gauges boost, oil temp and water temp now i have just spent the last hour searching through many threads as where to connect for each gauge, everyone seems to be fitting in many ways :headvswal where is the best place for each individual gauge sensor to get the best reading's please help cause as soon as the post man gets here they are getting fitted (hopefully):(

This has probably been posted before but one of the graphic artists came accross this when doing some research on a film and sent it on to me. Thought I'd post just for interests sake really.. Hope this works!
