: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…

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.

Hi all not sure if i have posted these yet still trying to use the site but here are the pics of my 300zx.

After having no luck obtaining a second hand master cylinder I had nothing to lose by attempting to seal the leak using liquid metal which to seems to have worked:D Question is as I have stopped the leak externally whats the opinion of the internals now as Im unsure whats behind the area it was leaking from (if that makes sense...lol) Basically the leak was coming from the front bung of the cylinder but everyone I have spoken to says its the first they have heard of leaking from that point. Opinions are very welcome. Cheers Paul

Finally found my copy of it but can't for the life of me work out how to install it :( Any ideas? Cheers Vijay

hi zmates can some body advise me please, i have a 1990 jap import z, rear fogs have been fitted with a seperate illuminated switch, i want to keep all the light swiches together, i have just purchased a uk spec light switch pod with what i thought was a fog light switch already fitted, instead i got what looks like a headlamp wash button, is there a difference between the early uk spec light pod switches and the later uk spec light pod switches. or can anyone say where the fog light swtich should be on a uk spec z regards big mo

anyone point me in the right direction to a cheap 300zx insurer. *Think* I was with A Flux just over a year ago, cant remember tho - do we get any discounts? Cheers

Guess who has broken down again miles away from home. This time i was going around a corner and the car started by all means bunny hopping before completely losing all power and dying. I tried starting the car and it refused. So i went and played with a few connectors and it started again and i drove it to my friends house. Came back out later and it fires up fine then just completely dies. Then i cant get it started at all. In the end i left the car at my friends house and i got a lift home.. I am nearing the end of this car more and more.. Old zed has very kindly offered to come around tomorrow and try another CAS on my car to see if its that playing up.…

Hi all, Just had a "moment" in my z with an icey road and a kerb, the rear near side wheel has been "removed" by said kerb and the rear wishbone has been torn from the sub frame. so im guessing it needs a lot replacing and realigning. would any body have a 1992 zx they are breaking for parts? could do with the whole near side rear corner and rear sub assembly? also any advice would be appriciated. Many thanks Tony

Driving along a dual carriage today, my three kids were also in the zed. When along side me pulls an astra vxrish type summit or other. I didn't pay it any attention until I hear it's engine scream into life and it's exhaust growl and boom as it crawled away from me at a snails pace. I looked at it to see a bloke in the passenger seat holding up his camera fone recording it. I wasn't racing - anyway I had my kids with me, I was just cruising at 55mph, but what are the odds there will be a new vid on youtube today with "my mega 800bhp astra demolishes supercar" chavtastic!:headvswal:headvswal

Either picture or a diagram showing how th ewater hoses run to and from the engine and through the radiator if you have em please? Should there be any kinds of senders in the lines? Why do both pipes run from the engine the same way but the rad take offs are at different sides? Or am I completely lost here?? Cheers...

Hey all my drivers door is sagging a bit and the bracket has worn a groove in the body. When I lift it I can feel about a cm of play in it. Any idea how to fix? Ive looked at the hinges and they dont seem to have any adjustment in them. Cheers

A problem has started with my windscreen wipers over the past couple of weeks. They won't turn off no matter what postion the switch is in. I have read this can be caused by the switch within the motor mechanism that detects the rest postion becoming dislodged. However i'm not sure this applies to mine as the intermittent swith postion no longer works intermittently. It is parked outside and i'm wondering if damp may be causing it? This is what happens in the various switch postions: Switch postion - Wipers Off - Low Speed Intermittent - Low Speed Low Speed - Low Speed High Speed - High Speed Anybody had this problem? I can only stop them by…

Were they illuminated in Series 2 cars????:confused:
