Another problem! Hoping it's a simple one. Took the zed on its first run in many years today. Temp went to high (not quite on red) and also there was no heat from the heater blower, could also hear a burble from radiator under the cap like it was preasurising! Hoping it's the thermostat, the only other thing worth noting is the temp sender at front of engine (twin spade) is a bit green but not sure how that would effect it.

Think my zed is going to be getting some fresh paint in the new year, pretty set on it being a purple but could easy be swayed if someone has something nice to show. So far thinking either: Brickyard red (350z) Interlagos Fire (350z) Black Rose (Corvette)

Hi All, Anyone know where I can get the decal that fits on the rear spoiler from? Cheers.

Bored so I thought I'd try some experimenting........ Fitted the steering boss at long last for aftermarket wheel, also a slimline 'snap off' kit. Another Idea that I had a while ago, thought I'll give it a go........can you tell I'm bored Lol!

In all my time on this forum and face to face chatting, i have never had anybody mention these guys from the website below. They are even in Stoke on Trent, so why do we place orders from over the pond and have duty, VAT, etc ? Early in December i placed online a small order of 4 oe parts, 3 were in stock, the gear centre console wasn't and i was told it would be the usual 4-6 weeks from Japan which is not a problem, after just 3 weeks then my order arrived today :cool3:. http://www.nissangenuine.com/

Can you guys give me a going rate for Injectors (N/A) and coil packs as i looked on ebay and nearly fell over when i saw them!! both new and used.... Rich Trying to decide if its worth it to remove them from my spare car before she goes to the scrapie in the sky...

As mentioned in the what I did today thread, I have a coolant leak coming from my heater matrix. While this is being replaced I thought it would be a good idea to flush the coolant system. Has anyone used a radiator/coolant flush additive, such as Wynn’s for example, on their Zed? More importantly, does anyone know if such additives/flush treatments are likely to cause any harm or have an adverse effect on my cooling system. Thanks

Hi guys Does anyone know the autobox sump plug size? Its got a slight weep so want to get it changed over Christmas with all the other parts I've stockpiled. Cheers

hi guys, i am having bucket seats and 5 point harness installed in the new year, however i have nowhere to mount the harness, i know that a few people have done it to rear strut brace or rear seat belt anchor points but that's not for me, i would much rather have a half cage or 6/7/8 point cage, i ideally want to keep the rear seats in so my lads can still sit in the back any suggestions? or anyone got some pics of something similar? cant really find anything on the internet with people keeping rear seats in but i imagine 2 points would go to boot floor and a bar across?

Just a sneaky preview for those of you not on the Facebook groups! Just got a bit of polishing to do tomorrow and fit her up! Hopefully on a the Rd within 2 weeks! :)

Right so drained my autobus after overfilling it! Luckily mine has the drain plug so we were able to do it the easy way. Roughly 4 litres were removed before it stopped coming out the drain. Drain plug refitted and we filled it with a litre and checked the level on the dipstick and we go correct readings (5times) when warm and when cold. This just doesn't seem right as we only put a litre back in? Can anyone advise on how this can happen I'm so confused :)

Thought I would share a memory from 2010 when I first got my SWB 300zx. If you have a memory thread you want to share then post it up. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?145587-SWB-pictures&highlight=swb+300zx

Hello All, I have a set of chrome dash cluster rings to fit so that should be reasonably straight forward. Whilst the cluster is out I would like to do other things as well... The glass/plastic is scratched from a previous careless speedo conversion so I would like to replace that is anyone has one, and also I woudl like to upgrade the leds as they are dull as hell. Could someone please link me to leds that will swap right in to the cluster? I might do the pods at the same time ?...

I feel utterly stupid asking this question, but......... Any tips for removing the 2 air pipes in the picture below. I've got a power steering leak and to get to the culprit I need those off, yet there seems to be no play whatsoever on them. To be fair, they actually feel glued in place, is it just a case of get them warm via a hair dryer (or blast around for 30mins) to make them more pliable? Or is there something basic here I should know?

Are these "new" sprayable vinyl outfits just offering PlastDip in disguise, PlastDip with another name, or is it a completely different product? Anyone with experience of a complete respray?

Hey guys! My buddy got me a pretty awesome NRG quick release and steering wheels for my birthday and I'm having troubles finding a short hub so I can install it... I have never looked into even getting a quick release wheel so I am at a complete loss right now. I looked on NRG's website and they only have the short hub for my car without HICAS.. I didnt even know there was a different hub for the 2.. Could anyone explain why there is a difference or possibly point me in the direction for a hub so I can get this beauty installed? I have a 1990 RHD 300ZX TT. Thanks! Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk

Just a sneak peak will put a proper thread up soon! What do you all think of the colour! It's a bitch to paint but we'll worth it! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1813445112232329&substory_index=0&id=1456302761279901

Hi all, Anyone know if a 350z steering column universal joint is compatible with a 300z column? Cheerz James

I know this is going to pain some people's eyes but I couldn't help think about smoothing the tailgate onto the body and making a small trunk opening. Does anyone share my curiosity or am I alone with this thought? Certainly different. I'll give it a Photoshop when I get home.

We took my silver zed out to a private road ( genuinely a private road) to run some tests on it, Baring in mind I'm running on actuator pressure only, and the clutch is slipping ( yeah I know not the best idea to test but I've only time we could use the road for a month or 2) I'm having trouble getting it to put its power down, worst was when the boost came on at 120mph it spun the tyres again, I need advice tips on how to counter this, It needs a big wing that's a given to help with the high speed stability, thinking of getting wider wheels maybe some 10.5 j to help, would softening the rear suspension help? Feels like it's jumping around a bit too much, I'm c…

Does anyone have any links to good guides to convert an auto tt to manual? Can I food find one would have thought this was a popular subject! :)
