removed plenum. took all pipes the vacum,water,pcv,and the ones that come out the rockers just puting it back together but because i left it couple of days waiting for gaskets i forgot where they all go does anyone know if theirs a diagram of how they go please. also on the drivers side under the bonnet theres 2 electric things with loads of vacum pipes think controls the boost and boost gauge i took the pipes off and not sure how they go i know im an idiot for not marking them ha ha

Does any one know what this is, what it's for and if i can remove it with out any prob's?? It's broken and the bracket is knackered and if i can just remove it it will be easier lol Cheerz Neil

Trying to find a new gear knob for the car, the only one i've found so far is this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gear-Knob-Black-Leather-fits-Honda-Toyota-Nissan-Suzuki_W0QQitemZ180311664196QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item180311664196&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1299|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318 How close is this to the stock one? any links to one with red stitching?

Last year i had a small accident in the Z, i have replaced the bumper, o/s wing and headlights, but it looks like it has done a bit more damage and probably needs the bit that the headlights are mounted on replacing, or just straightening maybe. trouble is, dont really have the money to get it looked at and cant really afford to keep the car if its not being used. if i sell it as it is, i wont get anything for it and if i get it fixed and then sell it i still may not get a lot for it either. thought about breaking it up and selling parts, but i dont have anywhere to keep the car if i did that. any thoughts from the guys and gals on here would be greatl…

My jdm tt auto has just turned 100,000 kms (62,000 miles). Have owned the zed for 14 months and bought it with 98,000 kms so just covered 2k (1250miles) in my ownership and happy to report I have no major issues engine running smooth and gearbox a delight some miner niggles like drivers side door lock failed with broken plastic clip and glove box catch broken but all fixed so feeling very happy with zed and hope I havent jinxed it by wrighting this update. Also just coming up to the end of my subscription on this site and found it excellent in advice and general chat so will be re-subscribing in feb. for another year and hope my zed keeps on rolling and maybe get to Z009…

The first time i seen a 300zx tt i fell in love, it was when my brothers friend who bought a tt import and gave me a passenger ride in it when i was 16, ever since then i vowed that one day i will own one and now i do i love it!:D

Hi guys , just looking for some advice as im looking to resurrect my 300zx for this summer and looking at getting some engine work done, just not too sure what my options are yet: My nissan has been off the road for the past couple of years, she was smoking quite bad everytime i pulled up at traffic lights etc and it was left idling and whilst it was off the road i was going to get it fixed however i got the chance of a wide arch kit and a few other body parts for half price last winter so i decided to fit that and have it looking mint, then start on the engine once the body was done. That time has almost come and i was wondering who/where is best for me to take…

Done a search on this, but cant seem to find much on the actual removal of the old wheel. Is there a couple of screws on the back which you remove and then pull the centre off. Then get a large socket on the nut and job done??? after dont touch anything behind it, could I mark it with tip-ex to have a reference point? Thanks:)

Ok so looking around on youtube for videos in the morning, and i come across this, any idea whos car it is??? [YOUTUBE]y9XHrpk9e4Q[/YOUTUBE] A few videos later.... [YOUTUBE]tcFrRMJ0aLQ[/YOUTUBE] Then final..... [YOUTUBE]A2RuuRVnaXE[/YOUTUBE] How could you do it to a zed is beyond me.......... http://uk.youtube.com/user/teasready

Its been out the bodyshop for 18 months now with its full gloss white respray with ultra violet flake. However, the cold weather has caused it to come out with some small micro blisters here and there, so its going in tommorow to have a machine polish... & while its in there I am having the B door pillars and roof painted high gloss black :hyper:

Going to have to take it to someone who knows there stuff with these as as i thought its down on power, i have so far checked for boost leak, checked ecu and have code 55, cleaned terminals tbs, had a mechanic put it on his diag, nothing wrong at all, it has 11 psi showing on the guage and sounds fit as a fiddle, no missfire, and runs lovely, dead smooth etc, however i got outdragged by a boy racer in a civic tonight, what a disaster

So thought i would continue the white leather theme through the car.... Done the drivers side, gotta do the passenger side and was thinking of doing the roof liner as well... got loads of white leather enough for that a retirm of some pannels that have been damaged were crap, and the boot install...... So wha'd ya think..... Cheerz Neil

Met up with Radron last night, Ive now got some leather to re do my drivers seat, and he has some bits from me. Nice to meet you in person, makes a difference when reading peoples posts. Shame you didnt bring the zed out to play, It was very slippy in the fog on the way home. The zed was a bit tail happy. Next time im up around your neck of the woods, i will let you know. When we do the next Viginnia water meet, i expect to see you there. Good man Cheers Stu

My Z has the Hella HID kit on which was from a group buy on here years ago. And first the right headlight went out (not main beam), so i thought it was the bulb, tried it in the left side and the bulb worked. So i thought it must have been the ignitor (the kit has seperate ignitors and ballast), tried plugging the right one into the left and it sparked, still no light from the bulb, and now non of them work. So my question is, does anybody, maybe from the group buy, still have the wiring diagram, or had this problem themselves and solved it. Or know a good auto electrician in the northwest that can sort this problem out. This is the link for the original group buy. …

As I'm getting a list together of what I need to get for my rebuild. I have been looking at uprated clutch and flywheel. Thing is not sure what one to go for. I've been searching on what other people have and have wrote about this subject and I am thinking of the RPS clutch and flywheel. With the different types I'm not sure which one to go for. My setup will be GT28r turbos with forged pistons and conrods. Would the sport street clutch be good enough or will I need the MAX street clutch? There seems just the one RPS flywheel from Z1. Has anyone had experience with the Z1 clutch and flywheel combo with the 6 puck ceramic option? Thanks, …

Can anyone tell me where there is a 'how to' to do this? There is a link in the FAQ section but don't work, I was reading one just the other day, but can't find it for the life of me! Cheers...

saw it this morning at about half eight:dance:

In my old uk spec zed the seat position always seemed to be lower than my jspec :wack: :confused: always had plenty of head room and could easily see the dash through the steering wheel... in the jspec my head seems v close and the steering wheel seems too low! is this just because the foam was flattened by some bloater who had eaten too many subway meatball marinaras or are our western friends seat mounts boosted up slightly to help with height issues!?

Hi Guys:dance: My 91 auto TT is driving absolutely perfectly except........ at speeds of over 65mph when the revs are at 2500rpm there is a rumble from what sounds like the rear of the car. If I raise the revs to 3000rpm it disappears, as it does when you drop to 2000rpm. Around town and at low speeds it is perfect but if I stay at 70mph, either manually or in cruise control the car drives at 2500rpm hence the problem. It is quite a worrying noise and will stay there continuously until the revs move 500rpm in either direction. I hope someone can shed some light on this one:)

Just got my car back from the garage and have a warning light lit up on the dash. It's the one with the windscreen and wiper down the middle and lights up yellow. Anyone know what this means? Something as simple as fluid??

:cry:

Hi guys, newbie here after a bit of advice. Just brought my z on sunday. it feels really boaty and sloppy at the back end. just went through an m.o.t and only failed on a steering rack gaitor. im wandering if it could be the shocks as it does float around and doesn't install a lot of confidence in driving. any thoughts or suggestions? any idea how much a new set of shocks are (think the rear ones are the worst)? thanks in advance guys Lee

Just got mine delivered today, the red ones different to the black one, one of groves that runs down the center of the keys is in a fifferent place. Is this because the red one wont do the glove box? I thought the blanks are meant to be the same untill you get them cut??

Had a search, but can find much on this, what's the best way of torquing up the Z? would I be best off running standard tubs as I wont have any more lag? And just change the Diff for an NA one? any thing else that I could do??
