I'm looking for a manual box, I've stuck an ad in the wanted section, just wondering if the same box was fitted on any other nissans, and if they would be straight swap? (due to my Auto box slowly losing the will to live :-)

Was walking down near Flares pub about 6.30 and you went past with a nice burble :D

Hey guys, Right atm my Z is with Darren at D2 having an engine swap and a manual conversion... while the engines out Darren suggested fitting Performance Headers... Does anyone have any links for the best place to get em... from past experience or whatnot? Cheers in advance Rich

Hi Folks, Had to replace the slave cylinder on the other halfs Fairlady. No problem (I thought), 15 minute job, replace, bleed and back in business. Nope, for some reason I can get resistance on the pedal with the engine off, but when I start up I can't get anything. Where have I gone wrong ? :headvswal

Hi Guys I wondered if you could give me some advice. 1) Yesterday my car began smoking from under the passenger side dashboard and you could clearly see water dripping out from under it(in particular when turning right). On inspection both the drivers side and passenger carpets were soaking wet! I assume it is the heater matrix, but can someone confirm this?? 2) If so, I want to dry the carpets out and store the car for a few months. If the heater system is not switched on will the car still leak the water whilst driving? Its just I dont want to store it with a wet floor pan and I need to drive the car to the storage. Thanks for your advice in advance!

I fitted Alpine speakers in my doors when all the interior came out, but never felt there was enough definition there. I have just bought a custom sub box for a 12" sub to go in the rear, I've replaced the rear speakers with Alpine speakers also. But, do I got for component speakers in the front? The Alpine speakers I am currently looking at appear to be the same as the ones I already have fitted, but obviously with the tweeter which I don't have. So, is it worth replacing these? Or will I not notice much of a difference?

I saved the image that you posted a while back of the Z32 lines and if I remember it was also one of your favourites What are those wheels and what offset would they have to look so perfect in the wheel arch? It just looks perfect. Thanks, C

This is for the info of the next one to write their zed off(there seems to be a few of us this year) Ive just been paid £3850 for mine. But they want £900 to buy the salvage back so they can take it away for me (might get a few goodies from under the bonnet before she goes Ha Ha).

I need to get my 300zx transported next friday. It is not running and has no road tax. It's also a widearch. Just wondering what people have used in the past to transport there car? I was hoping to see if I could get the RAC to do it. Being widearch i wondered if you can get one of these on a trailer ok? Are recovery companys expensive? Its going from Basildon to Harlow. Any ideas? Thanks, Ant

Just after helped my brothers girlfriend move into her new flat using the 300zx.lol. Its my only mode of transport so thats what i used, and i was very surprised at the amount of stuff that the zed could take. Have any of you guys had alot of stuff in it? Also started thinking about the 350z, theres a new one in my area, a 350z nismo, looks really nice.

92 TT in red.... front bumper not to my taste but looks tidy, not too keen on the interior either... about 20 mins from me as well... never seen it before.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1992-NISSAN-300ZXFAIRLADY-RED_W0QQitemZ120366630815QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item120366630815&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A7%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 Cheerz Neil

Just had the insurance man round and he is going to do some research and phone me later to discuss how much i will get, what do you lot rekon a std twin turbo in good condition is worth. Dont forget your selling not buying. The insurance book price is £1200.

Anyone know where I can get a hold of a pin like the ones in the picture? And what they are called?

clicky

Ok i finally hooked up my conZult program to my car to test the A/T for error codes and this is what came up http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k276/DJ_Party_Favor/ATErrorCode.jpg Now i have just replaced my TPS unit with a brand new one so im guessing their might be a short somewhere in the harness. i set the new TPS to .45 a few days ago without conzult but used a multimeter to set it to .45 volts and today conzult is coming up as .46 in engine mode section but on the A/T mode it says .50 is this normal??? All cylinders came up green. and no error codes in the ECU. So what do you guys think?

whats everyones thoughts on these wheels been contemplating this for a while for my car pics were posted by si a while back

I did a quick video, i cannot work out what they are, anyone care to explain? [YOUTUBE]bYDumTEUfok[/YOUTUBE]

I've been looking for an old-skool steering wheel for my Z. Namely the Momo Daytona, but also by another manufacturer called Italvolanti. I missed out by £1 on an Italvolanti 'Line' steering wheel that recently went out on ebay. Just wondering, does anyone know where I can buy brand new versions of these? The feeling is that I have is that Italvolanti don't exist anymore. Basically, it's the leather version of the top wheel.... Here's another pic....

Hi all, have i missed anything ? I sold the gorgous 'HARVE' 'Zanussi twin tub' a couple of months ago to a mate, I cant bear her seen to be drived not driven, if you know what mean & i see her on a weekly basis. I want another....... SMW! Steve, yours is superb, (always was) but out of my keeerching, anyone recomend a good car to a experienced Z owner ? PS ideally a uk manual......25k on the clock, 1 owner, panther black, full leather & toys, 20" wheels, & more bling than 'BG vince' :bow::hyper: Yourz 'harve'

Since i bought the car about a year ago the drivers side window has always leaked when subject to heavy rainfall/hosepipe. The seals look fine to me, and when i push the window in slightly there is no leakage, so can you adjust the window to rise at a slightly diffrent angle so it pushes agains the seals better and if so how?? ps nowhere else on the car leaks and water only leaks through at a certain point on the window, ive attached a pic cheers

Since writing off my zed a couple of weeks back in a 50mph spin into crash barriers, i'm a little bit nervous of getting another one :(. I don't want to spend all that money and time only to crash it again! I'd of been fine with it if I had overcooked the throttle and lost control, but I didn't the car just spun out while on mild throttle (and black ice!!). So, I was looking at the Racelogic Traction control systems. Do these make the zed a bit easier to live with? And are they as good as they say they are? I'm not thinking that this would have stopped me crashing but at the moment I wouldn't feel safe driving one unless it's completely dry. All opinions welc…
