as ill be heading off to nurburgring in april like to no if the car is going to be good or not ????????

just picked up my zed (twin turbo auto) and its soooo quick. drove it on the roads today and was very greasy so learnt very quickly i had to be very gentle on the throttle lol.

my zed has a wheel size of 275/35/18 (rear)and i need two new tyres (rear). what tyres should i get and where from?

When I start my car in the mornings, the idle bounces around for a bit and settles at 1100rpm and the car then runs fine, I leave the car till I finish work, start it up and it goes to die out when I press the accelerator a bit and I get a very delayed rev reaction, I then drive it for a mile or so and the car runs fine, why does this happen, could it be a boost leak? or part of another idling issue? The car will also pop whilst going down hill in gear when not pressing the gas, is this normal, I have a JWT eprom upgrade to handle single air intake, 555 injectors? Other than the issues above, when the car is at normal temp it runs like a dream and when I put my…

Hi Team, Well, my engine is out and I'm stripping to rebuild. While its out though what could I do to improve the cooling of both coolant and oil? Can you get a bigger rad, or high flow water pump? Some cheap ideas would be good as I'm not made of money,:wack: but I want to make sure I don't have to take the Bast**d out again!:headvswal look forward to your suggestions Jase

Saw a black zx with 3 pot led rear lights turn of marylebone road onto baker street (i think) this morning, headed towards oxford street

does anyone have the colour code for the dark red/maroon metalic paint? think its also called wine red, thinking of doing some body work to the zed soon and want to keep the original colour, thanks guys!

Hi! Now I am trying to put the adjustable upper link, but I have a problem... MY new upper are a little bigger that old´s. It is normal?, or I need to make bigger the hole? Thanks Regards

How do you adjust the windows, looking to see if i can pull mines up higher?

Take a look at ebay item number 250313490772..... Then read the small print...... Exchange engine removed or a 25% surcharge Yet they claim all sourced from JApan....... NOT methinks ! What do you think

Does anyone know what discs to use ? And does anyone have an engineers drawing, or measurements of the brackets, so i can make them up :) cheers

Are lwb and swb wings the same or are they different?

After mondays reconstruction day the the Collision Investigation Unit at TRL, one of the tests that were conducted was the braking abilities of the 300zx. The standard was set by a fully laiden 58 reg Mercedes Vito van, with a gross weight of 3 tonnes. 3 300zx's were used in the test. I cannot personally vouch for the condition of the other 2 zeds brakes, but i can confirm that following a check 6 weeks ago, my brakes are in full working condition with no seized pistons etc etc etc. The conditions were slightly damp, and the same bit of tarmac was used for the runs, so therefore i have given the average figures. The test was conducted at 30mph, using a fixed braking …

Happy Birthday Steve, I hope you have a good one. :duffer:

Hi I have been looking for a service and repair manual for some time now (hard copy) and have found a 1996 edition version with an al black front with white lettering on the net.

If anyone knows of a manual for sale let me know too I have already posted in the wanted section but no luck so far. Next month there will probabaly be 2 for sale lol.

As title....... Just got off the phone after talking to Jeff (ZedWorld) for quite some time regarding what we can do about Eliza. It's now looking like she'll be 'Trucked' down to ZedWorld (that's because she doesn't have an MOT, Tax or insurance at the moment), at which point she'll be examined as to the extent of the boost problem and, basically, we'll see from there as to how much it's going to cost etc. Then there is still the small matter of an MOT to be done before I can have her back on the road, hopefully for next summer, although she won't be looking as good as she used to, but that's down to the paint problem on the front end. Jeff, if you get to see this…

K reg, Dark blue? Spotted as I was coming out of the station, a nice surprise. Standard looking, very nice sounding. Cruised past Ealing Brodaway station and turned left onto the Uxbridge road towards acton. Anyone here?

Used to know this one, but never having done it myself am not so sure now, anyway.. converting a jap spec interior to a UK spec, fitting UK seatbelts in the B-pillar, as the UK spec is pre threaded in the pillar ?? and the Jap spec ain't, how do you attach the main securing bolt for the belt to the b-pillar folks ? :) Thankingyou... Cheers Smithy

Hey guys and girls I am so sick of a particular squeek that I have taken drastic measures. To re-create it I had to stand on my car and jump up and down what it showed me was that a squeek occurred in time to the movement of the front ARB. Anyone got any tips on what part it might be? Bushes brackets etc? I'm gonna get under it and get it off and try and grease everything up. Just wondered if anyone else has had the same problem. Cheers
