WAs just wondering today about how long i will have my zed for. As it doesnt owe me anything i wouldnt be in any hurry to get rid of it. So my thoughts where on if i could picture myself having the car for basically the rest of its life. As now adayds you cant get a performance car for the kind of money a zed is. Was just wondering how long you guys reckon use will have yours.

Does anyone have any info, ie: dates & prices on this years scumrun, know i probably wasting my time asking here but can't find anything anywhere else.

95 n/a man/ got fuel /turns over fine:hyper: started and drove perfecly last night before i start to check the plugs extra is there a common prob i could look at first

Could anyone tell me if putting 95 in tank instead of the usual 99 could be causing my terribly low and rough idle (about 400-500rpm)?

Spotted a Black LWB TT to night attempting to dounut in the rain over a local car park in Basildon. I went out with a mate of mine in his Scooby tonight as im on call this week and couldnt go out on the piss. Well after watching the Zed in the car park and getting ripped to pieces by my mates! My mate done his bit in his Scooby aswell. after finishing a guy came over and said I would check your tyres as alot of nails had been thrown on the floor hours before hand! So not only is there nails flying around the place most of the cars will have puntures.:cry: I know its not the right thing to do with any car or car park but how stupid is it to throw nails on …

Much to my relief , my car passed its MOT this morning . On the Advisory Notice were these items : 001 Nearside rear Intermediate drop arm deformed but serviceable 002 Offside " " " " " " So , I have three questions : What exactly are they ? Where can I get them ? Any idea of cost ? Thanks peeps

I need some front brake pads for my TT . I`ve done a search and read 12 of the many pages of differing opinions on brands :rolleyes: Does anyone on here sell Hawk ? Cheers

As the title, have done a search but theres conflicting sizes :mac1: Any one know what the correct sizes are for front and rear?? cheers

...oil leak sorted, running temp FINALLY sorted - after posting up time and again about running temp between 185 and 204 farenheit, I drove it home between 164 and 180 :dance: ! targa leak hopefully cured, indiglo clocks and chrome dial surround in, washer jets sorted, smoother idle, and all the other stuff you fitted and didnt ask for any payment for :bow: . will be visiting again soon :duffer:

hi does anybody have a pic of the fuse cover on a z32? its the 1 in the drivers side kick panel in footwell. am trying to get a pic as mine is in japanese and i dont read or speak japanese!! if antone can help i would be very greatful thanks mark:)

I got a set off some punto or other, the only problem it that it's for low beam and fog, is there anyway I can use the fog as high beam? maybe changing bulbs or doing something to the lens?

Just got myself a TT 300. But 2 problems are after coming up, firstly a loud squeek coming from the front suspension, thinking it could be the upper swingarm as it seems to be coming from that area and its a common fault in other nissans like almeras. Anyone had the same prob and if so is it just a case of biting the bullet and paying main dealer prices for the part? Secondly the steering is after getting a notchy feel to it, its allmost like a quarter of a turn is stiff and da next free and so on. Thats about the best I can discribe it. Sometimes seems to be worse than others. Checked the fluid levels and they seem fine. My mate had the exact same prob on a NA 300 b…

Hi all, As most of you will know i currently have a UK TT but am swapping bits across to the Jap shell. Hopefull getting it back this week by the way:) Does anyone know what bits I should make sure that I swap and what the advantage of of UK bits are? Lists will do lol

Not that bothered as the Evo has never been a car I've ever wanted despite its amazing mechanicals. What's nice to see is that our own KarlosG even has a crap opinion of them. http://www.lancerregister.com/showthread.php?t=175336&highlight=300zx Was just looking for the Momo steering wheel as fitted to the Evo3.

think this is the same car that someone put a link up for an autotrader ad for £650 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300-ZX-TWIN-TURBO-1994-AUTO-GREY-CONVERTABLE_W0QQitemZ120360911100QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item120360911100&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A7%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

Well was bored, have had the stuff for a while but with the zed off the road, thought i'd get some wood and crack on with it..... an hour later wala..... an amp rack lol Still need to do the lid but need a bigger bit of perspex for that lol :D :D Cheerz Neil

I got this mad idea about buying the Nissan President that Paul@SWZparts spotted on Petrolheads, and contacted the owner, via e-mail. I tell you one thing, it looks damn fresh from the pics and will be put through the MOT. 150,000kms on the clock. To think I put €4000 into the 530D by just replacing the knackered engine a couple of months, £1195 is not bad at all. As a few have said the engine it worth more.

I have a pair of these on my Jap TT, i wont be putting them on my UK, these have been painted but they are solid metal and chrome finish, just wonder if anyone else has them. I havent seen on another zed, what vehicle are they from.

Any body got any pics of an abflug revolfe rear light panel got one af ebay cheap these are mega rare never seen one outside japan.And abflug dont make them any more .I may not like it when its fitted i thought they were ugley but it looks ok think it will look better with the perpex boot infill panel .Ive searched the web for pics of one with no luck thanks taff.

okay everyone, my bros got an ECU with a "Suzuka esprit" sticker on it, i have opened it up but i cant see if there is a chip or not because the upper board thingy has a screw with a knackered head. Anyone heard of the company? and anyway of telling it is chipped without taking out that upper board thingy? Also have a HKS F-CON V piggyback ECU which was on my brothers old Zed but there is a sticker on it (from factory) with ECR33 (some japanese writing) RB25DET. Any ideas as to why it is there? oh almost forgot at the side opposite where the wires go into the ecu is a little screw type thin which has japanese wrinting on it, you cant twist the screw two ways but…

just thinking, if i buy a shell/running NA are there big obsticles to overcome? i know the engine and box and prop will have to go in, will the loom and ECU also? anything else i should be thinking?

I am off to pick up my new front bumper from Jimmytt tomorrow and was going to go in the Z. Will a std Jap front bumper fit inside a 2+2 ? If not I will have to pursaude the wife to lend me her car (she refused to drive the z) Mark
