...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

Hey everyone! Im new here, obviously, and im thinking of getting my self a 300zx:) I have always love the looks of them, yet i always seem to end up buying something else when i change cars! I started my japanese sports car ownership with a honda crx, then moved to a supra, and now im the proud owner of a gto. all of them are great cars but i think its time to get the 300 i always wanted:) So i was wondering if you could advise me on garages? i live in the cambridge area and one thing i have found annoying about the gto in particular is the closest trustworthy garage that knows anything about them is in potters bar london! Are there any 300 owners around my…

Fitted the steering wheel! (thanks SMW1:bow:) Had a problem, of my own making. Took the old one off in about 2 mins, came off easily. Put the new one on and did it all up tight, went to fit the horn and realised I hadn't put the wire on:mac1: Undid the nut and the wheel wouln't come off and all my pullers wouldn't fit. in the end I had to take the wheel off the hub and all the plastic surrounds and was able to conect the wire:hyper: Love the wheel though and there's no light on so all is good:nana2:

I just started wondering after reading so many posts on how to fix this n that, whats this noise, wheres me performance gone, me pistons are coming out me exhaust,nasty smoke filling the street etc etc, how many of us have a zed that is running mint, surely some of them run well and go like f@@@k, i realise that it would be a boring forum if it were just full of posts like, "zeds fine again today"ha ha.. so is your zed running right or are they all problems like mine????????

Does anybody know if the Exedy clutch for the twin turbo Z is any good or not? Its for my car which has a mines ecu, 15psi and decat pipes... Cheers guys, Dan

Right, I'll try and make this make sense... I seem to have drastically improved my dodgy idle (fast/slow fast/slow) by fitting some new IC/intake pipes. (I'll come back to that fast slow crap in a minute)... It sits nicely at 750rpm, although does slightly randomly fluctuate +/- 50rpm, is that normal? But, if I press the accelerator as gently as I can, it jumps from 750 to 1500, it is impossible to get anything in between. Now, referring back to the fast slow idle, if I adjust the TPS, at the moment it is fully counter-clockwise, as even the very very slightest movement clockwise, sends the idle to 1500rpm, exactly as it was doing with the dicky idle. I c…

How do I know if I've got heated seats or not? Is there a switch for em?

Right as my build is almost ready to go in i have the dilema of which clutch to buy and where from. I currently have a RPS 6 puck which is good but i dont think it would last too long with the 18G's. I have also heard OS Giken have a very heavy pedal which i dont want:nono: Any one got any alternatives and where to buy? Steve

Hey all. was having a poke around under the bonnet of my new z when i noticed there was a pip that wasn't connected to anything. It looks like a boost/wastegate solenoid. it is on the battery side just in front of the battery and bolted to the inner wing. there is 2 pipes coming out of the top of it but the bottom of the 2 pipes isn't connected to anything. i will try and get a picture up later on. any ideas?

Hi everyone. the zed has developed a problem:confused:a few days ago the exhaust temp light kept coming on then went away- now its back with a vengence the light comes on for a couple of minutes and the car is now running rough with a realy rough idle and a bad smell of burning when car is parked.Its a 90 j spec twin turbo auto,it says something about the exh temp on the sunvisor i just wish i understood japanesse:rant:
