Anyone know the width of the 300ZX from mirror to mirror? Thanks

Weather today for late February was fantastic. So, took the Z out to try and cheer me up, drove up to see Jimmer and Old_Zed. It did cheer me up a little bit. But Jesus, I forgot how many people look at the bloody things. Was nice to be back behind the wheel. T-tops off and everything!

today at 1700hrs turning into pizza hut at carryduff k reg i think with darkened windows you are the first zed i have seen on the roads in 16 months!:dance::dance::dance:

Going northbound around Grantham at 15:00 taday. I wasn't in mine as it is being pampered at Zedworld.

oh my god i have owend my zed for half a year maybe more now, and finally spotted my first other zed out and about and i wasnt even in mine hahaha i was in my dark grey mini and your zed was parked up at steyne gardens by the ice rink looking cool i want your exhaust boxes haha

i saw a silver h plate heading south on the M5, just north of bristol at around 4.30 yesterday afternoon. that was only the 3rd one i've seen in the 3 weeks of owning mine! so quite rare then!

saw a hicas locking bar on ebay, which is much needed as my hicas has started going nuts, keeps trying to steer the back end round past the front, anyway - are the hicas locking bars off ebay any good and when they say they have 'no fittings' is that a problem?

Just want to say thankyou to jeff, jamie and linda for their exellent service, Jeff and Jamie were amazing, they spent nearly 7 hours on the car checking it over and fitting my ebc, they did find a lot of things wrong with it which im not happy about, it is booked in again in april so all will be sorted, the car was a dream to drive home, it was a completely different car, a lot more economical and a lot more smoother and faster even though we kept the boost down at 14psi which is where it will be staying untill all the work has been carried out. They showed me all that was wrong and let me watch whilst they worked explaining things as they went. Thanks Zedworld Zedw…

Hi All, Not had to put much on here lately but got a problem with the Lights warning lights, The car had its MOT 4 days ago and passed with no problems! :D Yesterday the little red Light warning light comes on when i brake, Iv checked all the lights and fluids and all is well, could the shaking of the car in the MOT brake or made a wire loose or do i have a Gremlin camping out in my car? The car is a 1990 SWB NA manual if it makes a different. any advice or help would be welcome, keep up the good work all.

Saw a silver one parked outside Farm Foods in Hereford, when I was driving through yesterday evening.

Hello everyone and thank you for the friendly newbie welcome, have spent most of the last three days reading up on my hopefully impending new zed purchase, have narrowed my search, so far the only "must have's" are 1. import not uk (rust issues) 2. twin turbo manual as my daily drive is a mk3 ls400 so a comfortable/relaxing car is allready taken care of, spoke to a nice guy who was very helpfull at zedworld tamworth, just amazed they dont do sales as well, as ever all advice/help greatly apreciated.

car is now abandoned for the night in my mates street after my passenger side tension rod snapped in 2. the bush was solid on it so going to need a new pair, any suggestions where is best to get a good set and a rough price?

My zed at the moment has a bespoke exhaust on it (I think) but the middle section of the exhaust is completely rotten. I've seen exhaust middle sections for sale on the zcentre website for £135 exc. VAT and was wondering if anyone on here had had them made bespoke or has got them from somewhere eles for anything less than that? I don't know if I'm missing how much work is involved in creating these but £135 + VAT seems a bit steep for basically two pipes :) Also a bit worried that I'm going to spend that much money on a middle section and then have to pay more to have it modified to fit the bespoke rear section. Any advice appreciated, Vern

Hi there 300zx enthusiast's. my ? is wot is the best way to clean your engine,i.e out side not in,i was going to get wash it with the engine running but seeing all those electrics, it just puts me of,so can you do it this way safely or is there another way of doing it,any advise would be greatfull just want to give the car a good clean every where.:dance::nana2::cool:

In a few days i will be fitting a HDI boost controller, i have fitted them before but only on single turbo cars. On a twin turbo, should i just connect both the wastegate pipes together with a T-joint then to the new boost solenoid? Obviously the same for the outlet too. What do i do with the factory boost solenoid connections? leave them in situ?

basically as some of you know my heater matrix exploded coupla days ago - a new one is on its way but for the time being i was told you can bypass it to get you back on the road and so after a phone call to uno (cheers mate:) ) and a trip to my local parts dept i had everything i needed to do the job - was quite simple, located the two pipes that ran out of the block removed the matrix hoses and replaced it with a loop of 19mm coolant pipe! awsom!! pics new pipe in place top left before i tucked it away around the break fluid holder close up on the new pipes in place!! its running a little warm for some reason with this pipe in - it…

I have had a few good audio set-ups in my previous cars but am toying with a new idea. Instead of the usual couple of amps, big sud and comp speakers I have a Altec Lansing 4.1 THX cert system in my attic, this has the built in processer so a single stereo feed can be converted to Prologic, Quad, Digital surround and so on, that I am going to retrofit into the car, the cool thing is that it produces an excellent balance of sound with no distortion. Just waiting for some bits to come through the post before I can get started, sounds a bit odd but what this space, I am going to try and fit this in and keep the stock look (apart from the Sub and processor but this …

Hi I want to remove the front speakers, can I get them out without taking the door card off? The grills seem to be pretty well held in place, I just want to remove the grill and speaker to chaeck for space for a new audio project I am playing with. :hyper:

Heya all, loving the Z but just come across my first problem with it. wondering if you can help :) Driving home tonight and the dash lights and headlights started to flicker a lot, then the full beam icon came on the dash board and about 10 seconds later my headlights went to full beam. They now seem to be permanently full beam as the stalk wont switch them off (even though i didnt switch them on in the first place). Is this an cheap and easy to fix common problem (fingers crossed tightly)? Seems like something has maybe shorted out or is no longer earthing but i dont know where to begin to look!

Hey people, I've been searching to find answers to a weird issue I'm having with my autobox but can't seem to have any luck. Basically, everytime I start the car up the first time during a day and when I set to move off slowly and come to a stop, the car pops out of gear and then goes back into it. It only does this at first when I'm just moving off slowly and then stopping. Once I hit the road a drive a little once its in gear again, its fine then. Any ideas what this might be?? Thanks.:)
