This is my first Zed. I've had it a couple of months now, but only just got it insured properly. I've not done anything to it yet, so (as you'll see) it's not perfect, but still looks pretty nice to me. I'm a big fan of the stock look (including the wheels, which I think makes me a bit unusual!) so it'll be staying pretty much as is. The only things will be a 99 spec spoiler and rear lights, and hopefully polished wheels (I count them all as stock).

Parents are up there on holiday and sent me a text saying they seen a black J reg! About 2.44pm

Noticed theres a z32 drifting in the australian drift sereis with a ls1 v8 fitted http://www.driftaustralia.com.au/galleries/viewphoto.asp?i=img_8496_lrg.jpg&f=drift+australia/2008+-+round+1&sh=768&sw=1024

Does anyone know the part number from nissan for this and price thanks.:)

What are the best looking zeds of all time? The creme de la creme....? I'm looking for style over substance here - not the quickest - just the uber cool best looking ones that make you hot and sticky just thinking about them....

Hi guys, my car idles fine until warmed up, but when fully warmed up it idles fast slow fast slow, and often stalls... Also, the stock boost gauge doesnt work, just twitches when I floor it, so i took the pipe off the sensor thingy, and blew some air down the pipe and the gauge shoots up, so it's working ok... The gauge works off pressure, but suction coming from the balance bar where it connects... ? Maybe there is no boost? I also stuck an airline on the balance bar in short bursts, to see if i could hear any leaks, and sounds like one turbo is spinning up, but not the other, strange? It runs fine when not on idle, so cant be a turbo issue, can it? They are newly r…

As of 2 weeks ago, I had a 300zx TT lwb auto imported, it's an auto and as mentioned in my first post, the gearbox went on it. Or is going.. haven't worked it out yet. Luckily my car is still under warranty from the importer and they told me that they would gladly pay to repair it for me, but I had to go to a unipart garage rather than nissan directly. (Any comments on this?) I rang around all the garages where I live, and they were all reluctant to carry out the work on the gearbox for me, they either said "no because it's an auto" or "it's too high-tech and big a job for them".. So my importer is going to take it away and get it fixed. I live in the No…

thinking of adding one to the front of my z to make it look a little more aggressive. any options out there for the z . i really wish i could afford the stillen lip spoiler but i can't so that's out of the question i'm afraid unless somebody know where i can get one dirt cheap:)

hi i still waiting for my z as it got some work to be done before i can collect it can some one give me some names of good cheap insurance companys. i got one from done deal at 500 full comp. i tryed again to on the web today just to see what was out there but got 1500 to 2000 from other companys and done deal was not there thanks

After being of the road for 3 years its back with new paint and an updated look, should come up even better with a polish and a wax. Just the interior to do now, replacing the cream seats with black leathers and a retrim in alcantara for the panels. :dance:

Gotta still get mot'd taxed before I can use it but Im getting there,,,,, :) Got it at £411 fully comp + protected NCB with ALL mods declared!!! MCEdwards :)

Hi all me again, Has anyone changed the bushes on the diff? Ive got the diff out now im just having trouble getting the old bushes off. The hardest ones are the ones attached to the chassis of the car. Do i need a press? Cheers

I have discovered i have a hole in my exhaust, a big one, here: As in that above photo, but without the plug, its on the passenger side. You can see in this pic what SHOULD go here: How would this affect my engine?

I'm just wondering if anyone has managed to sell thier modified Z in the last couple of months ?. I've had a few offers but not anywhere near what I was after. Although I was thinking of waiting due to the market, I've now got my heart set on a nice X5 and I'm kinda thinking that I could sit on the price for ages and still not sell, so I guess I have to be a little more realistic and drop the price by a few grand.

*Thinking* of getting shot of my front bumper and replacing it with a Scarab or the like instead - Mine is an original 99 spec bumper not a copy. I think it makes my car look too soft or something at the front - anyone with a different bumper (not the original or 99 spec) want shot/swaps/sell?

Can someone post a pic, with dimensions of the standard 300zx SMIC ? as i might have found a very cheap uprated replacment, but need to do someone measuring and my car is 50 miles away for the next week or so :smash:

:eek:have i got a ghost in my z. Today I unlocked the garage to take the z out for its first drive in 09, it hadent been out all over the christmass break and last night i checked the tyres oil and water and locked all up again then today when i opened the locked garage and opened the z door the drivers electric seat was fully reclined! I didnt recline it and no one has been in the garage since I locked it last night (and I was sober) I cant explain it. Has anyone else got unexplained mystery gremlins or ghosts.

Does anybody know where I can get a cheap Mongoose Catback quad exhaust? The cheapest I've found so far is £350 less VAT from zcentre. Cheers Dave

I´m looking for a widebodykit that doesn´t look "like too much". I like the strosek one (I own a strosek front), but strosek is pretty expensive. The widebodykits I know have very agressive rear skirts, I don´t like that. Anyone an idea for me?

My car is having missfiring issues which some of you would have read about recently and ive narrowed it down to cylinder number one not firing. (Running on 5 cylinders) Note:The connector on number one is the only broken connector. (still seats ok) All injectors are clicking All coilpacks are working All Coilpack connectors are working So i fiqured that it must be the spark plug, so i removed the plug and its covered in black powder (Overfueling) which says again that its not sparking But its only just dawned on me... Its dry... Does that matter? EDIT- CAR NO LONGER STARTS! Ive installed a new spark plug in cylinder one (same…

Can anyone tell me how much Data Scan should cost,this is what I'm looking at £35.00 + shareware. My laptop only has usb ports can I get an adapter to connect this to my laptop. Cheers Paul & Happy New Year

Been talking to the talk audio guys, and the install I was planning for the z wont work:( Cant use all the subs together as they will sound wrong and all the stuff I have got is a load of rubbish. Not sure what to do next, should I just go a head with it anyway and the hell to what they say, just use some of it or sell the lot and hope I get enough money to buy some decent stuff. Or sell the lot and spend it on the Z? not sure any more any advice welcome.
