Just been checking it out, got me zed captured at work :) check it out anyone else?

Hi People, the fan shroud on my Z is battered and looks crap. Is it ok to run without this? as far as im aware its only there to protect the fan so might remove it all together. Regards Andy

Hey all Is there any way to dim the greddy Profec BII or Turbo Timer when the lights come on? Cheers

spotted a silver 300zx with rear window like mine last night about 2030hrs

was in petrol garage lunchtime on saturday my zed was also parked in there(the 1 with all the stripes on it):hyper:

i have been reading about safety boost and i am now confused.i have a jap tt and it reads up to 7 on the boost gauge(which i know can be a bit crappy),when i floor mine the needle is just falling short of the 7 ......is this good bad or safety boost...???

Have Oil temp, Oil pressure & Water Temp gauges that need fitting anyone fancy fitting them or can recommend someone that would? Cheerz J.

I've got a swb manual NA. Last year i fully upgraded the suspension so the handling is spot on. Now its time to change to a TT engine. I've been buying some parts in preparation for an engine swap this summer. Its gonna look something like this: Apexi Induction Z1 2.5" downpipes Full custom de-catted exhaust system Nismo 615cc injectors with adapter kit Godspeed front mount intercooler z1 RFL BOVs RPS clutch, Fidanza flywheel Lightened underdrive pulley Koyo rad Electric fan Z1 one-piece lightened prop ECU chipped to suit Greddy Profec B spec II boost controller Internals and turbos will be standard for now with the inten…

Hi Everyone Just wandering which website we all use for our 300zx parts oem and mod's?? Regards Andy:duffer:

It's happened a few times now and lasts for various periods of time. For no reason my zed starts idling erratically between 1500rpm to 2500rpm. The difference when this happens to any other time it does this is that there is a clicking noise from the instrument binnacle area which coincides with the idling. Does anyone know of a relay or something in this area that might cause this problem and noise. Thanks Rich

Iv requested advice on this problem before but still cant find culprit, and now when i start the engine from cold the cam belt seems to be rubbin off the cam belt cover. Iv changed the belt around 3000 miles ago.The original problem is a rattle that happens when i put my foot down and seems to be comin from low down front. iv checked the exhaust and the brake disks plate and both are tight and firm. Also the rattle only happens when its in gear, iv tried revin the engine when it starts rattlein out of gear and the rattle is gone. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. The cam belt only seems to happen when the engine is cold

Over the last few month i have been checking how accurate the petrol tank gauge is on the zed, i have let the tank run down until the petrol light comes on then go for a fill up, ive done it 3 times and found that the tank still contains 18 litres of fuel when the light comes on(basically a quarter of a tank, or by my zeds economy around 70ish mile). thought it would be useful to share although yours may be slightly diffrent, all i know it its given me confidence that if i realise im miles from anywhere with no money on me, ive got a 70/80 mile range to sort something out does anybody know if you can buy more accurate gauges for the zed that fit where the old on…

hi does anyone know how to remove the connector from the coilpack when they have become so hard and brittle that the little "push here" bit just snaps off ? Maz

Jeff has had car for a few days and in the 2 years of ownership I can honestly say its never been as fast!!!! :dance: My car runs absolutely superb now, and from now on it will only be touched by the hand of Jeff! :bow: The setup down there looks fantastic, Jeff takes the time to explain exactly whats been done, and Lynda (Hope it is spelt like that) is the perfect hostess. Nice one guys, thats another regular client added to your growing list. Jeff, Jamie & Lynda - Thanks.

Many thanks mate, brake light arrived today, much appreciated:bow: Better late than never:tongue::duffer: owe you a pint at Z009 if your attending :);):D Thanks again, just shows what a great bunch of members we have as he sent it FOC :)

Hi guys well i didnt think this day would come for a long time,but im going to have to sell my love of my life,my z. Got layed of in jan and ive still not been able to find work :mad: so i need the money, cant get rid of the wife so the cars going to have to go,putting tax on the car at the end of the mounth and then she will be up for sale. it was a pleasure talking to people who had the same passion as i, and i hope to be back in the near future.:smash:

Hi, folks I have taken the headlights out of my Z (horrible job!), and I have fully dismantled them. The reflective cones behind the projector beam assembly are beyond cleaning - the silver has deteriorated beyond redemption. I have found several spray-paints that have a silver mirror finish, but won't take more than 50 degrees C. Does anyone know of a spray-paint that will re-silver them convincingly AND take the heat? Or has anyone got a set of cones? ....please don't make me use ice-cream cones lined with baking-foil...! :)

Has anyone got the dimensions and sizes for the caliper adapter brackets too fit the 315 mm big brake disc kit. cheers Paul

Is there a common reason why the headlight washers would not work (UK car)? The normal windscreen wash jets work fine. If I press the headlight washer button with the lights off I get absolutely nothing. If I press it with the headlights on, I get the click of a relay and the windscreen wipers go, but nothing from the headlight washers, no noise of a pump or anything. Any idea where I should look first? I know they're hardly important, but I'm the kind of person that likes a car where everything works that's meant to work! Thanks, Phill

While the car is warming up and im coming to a junction, the car feels like something is making it slow down a lot faster. Say the revs are at 2.5K and i let off, it feels like something is pulling it down. It doesn't stall or anything i was just wondering what it is that is doing it? Once its heated up its fine. Thanks for looking :D

getting tired of searching now...... i just need 1 X 12mm/2mm/8mm o ring that fits in between the caliper to transfer hydrolic fluid from oneside to the other...... anyone?:headvswal:headvswal:headvswal:headvswal:headvswal:headvswal:headvswal:headvswal:headvswal:headvswal:headvswal:headvswal:
