Hi all, Im sure there was a list of decent insurance companys on here but im having trouble finding it. Is there such a list? Cheers Dan

Hi people im after the mechanism for the left targa roof as the unlock/locked slide has broken off on mine. Im willing to pay for it and also after a few more bits to start restoring my zed Drivers sun visor centre console dials surround the bit where the 2 control pods go into Thanks alot Marty

After much thought ive decided to declaire the zed sorn. It needes a new mot anyway and ive got some mods i want finishing plus the jobs for the mot so its good night for the zed for a few months and being winter i think its the best time to do it. With any luck ill have a new mot a full respray, maybe a new set of rims and around 370-380 bhp depends on how the money goes.

Hey all iv'e been searching the net today for various things and came across this website that sells 4 different custom fit car covers for the 300zx z32. I know there was some peeps on here who were after one but my search is'nt working so cant find the thread. anyhow here is a link..... http://www.carcoverzone.co.uk/nissan-300zx-c-60_372.html Sturdy, detachable underbody straps are provided, so however stormy the weather, you know your car is secure & protected from the elements. Cover is Custom fit the Nissan 300ZX with Mirror Pockets. They really do look very high quality....

I have tried to sell the zed.... really I have. I did all the right things to sell. I have put up a fair and honest description on the best forum for the car. I have invited people round to test drive it, and been happy to see them when they turn up. But something has stopped me from selling... I tell myself, I can't afford to run 2 cars anymore. Sell the practical economical hatchback, sell the impractical thirsty sports car and have one fast practical car like an RX8 or Audi S4... Everytime someone has driven it and asked if I will take an offer - I always say don't offer yet, drive a few more just to be sure... Why do I do this? Am I going mad…

just want to say a pbig thanks to Meht who supplied me with a pair of half shafts with side flanges, put up a post on sunday, picked them up on monday! also want to say sorry to Snoopy who very kindly offered me his aswell but, you're alittle too far away to travel and the postage was going to be the killer. thanks anyway buddy:) if anyone ever wants any bits around the London area then, Meht has got a large aladins cave of goodies;) thanks guys:D

Nice article on Steve Millens (stillen) race career with the 300zx http://speedhunters.com/archive/2008/11/28/retrospective-gt-gt-millen-and-the-300zx.aspx

Hi all just been surfing and found a site that sells the 300zx throttle position sensor at a decent price too. http://www.ignitioncoil.co.uk/Products.aspx?Man=NISSAN&Mod=300ZX%20Coupe%20From%2001/90%20to%2009/95&Ser=300%20ZX%20(Z32)%203.0%20Twin%20Turbo%20Petrol%20Engine&Year=05/90%20to%2009/95&BHP=208&HP=283&CC=2960&Cylinders=06&Valves=24&VID=04299&e1=VG30DETT&e2=VG30DETT

sailed straight through, no advisories. The only thing the examiner pulled me up on was the hazard switch. I have pulled my pods out so many times, testing led conversions that it wouldnt push in to operate, so he let me adjust the switch and passed it. The only other thing i was concerned about was, having no rear reflectors on the rear lights due to having 6 pot venom leds, but didnt say a word :hyper:

Was interesting! First time with rwd in the snow and I can report that its useless! :headvswal No chance of getting up the slightest hill, better after letting rear tyres down but still not good! Went to drop my son off at his mums on the way to work, got about half way up her road at tickover in 1st, 3mph then lost traction. Few revs saw me climbing up the hill sideways but still making progress. I then saw a clean patch of tarmac where a parked car had been and gave up there. Then spotted that I was now parked opposite a side road that was a steep downward hill toward me. Some bloke comes down the road all locked up, front wheels at full lock. Ermmmm…

Car was iced over this morning,so started up the engine,shut the doors and started deicing.....went to open the doors to put window wipers on,but shock horror the bloody doors wouldnt open!!!..The car decided to lock themselves!..never happened before and i do this most icy mornings....got a spare key so wasnt a problem....These cars!!:)

Hello people, Got a bit of a problem here. My twin turbo is acting rather strange. It starts fine, runs fine when driving normal, but when I put my foot down, it just dies out.. It is a manual UK spec which is stalling on me when I put my foot down.. Any ideas what to look at?? Best regards, Zee..

Gonna fit some Hard pipes tomorrow and need to put my dump valves in place of where the Re-Circs used to be... Can't remember which pipe to stick them into tho! Would it be the top pipe or the bottom pipe??? Don't want to un bung the wrong one! Thanks very much for any help!

please subscribe to sell, it's worth it for all the benefits

This may be a silly question but can anyone tell me if an ecu from an automatic can work in a manual?????

When I bought my zed it had a large bore single exit exhaust. It is really loud and meaty which some people might prefer, but I would prefer a quiet ride. Is the stock exhaust any good or is it too restrictive? What after market exhaust is the best compramise between noise and performance?

this realy is strange, when cornering hard the sound from the speakers moves with the force of the cornering!!!! i have rockford fosgate 6x9s in the doors which as far as i can tell are fine apart from that and a rockford headunit the system is standard. this started few months after i installed the speakers so i dont think its anything to do with that, any ideas??????

Some may remember this thread recently link I got in touch with the guy based on the original thread on tt.net and he's given me a call back today. They're looking for another 1 or 2 standard (ish) cars to help them out next Monday, 8th December at 12noon till 2pm. Location is Transport Research Laboratory Crowthorne House, Nine Mile Ride, Wokingham, Berkshire, RG40 3GA Essentially it's a runway and they'd like to do some hard accelaration runs and record some parameters to help their investigation. They're looking to cover you're fuel and maybe even replace your tires! Let me know if you can make it so I can pass on your detail…

Oh my god, acceleration is mental, god knows what power its putting out, but it feels a lot quicker than my stock one. Mods are jwt 530 tubs @ 14psi, forged engine fully rebuilt, godspeed ic's 555 injectors, rps clutch and lightened flywheel and pulley set, koyo rad and electric fan, egr and water bypass, full exhaust and new wiring loom, probably missed something. What would the estimated whp be at the momment and what do u think it would be when I fit an ebc, highest setting at 24psi? I cant wait.

I went out for a drive the other night and I came to the realisation that half of you lot must be mad! or just ballsy :bow: My Zed has had the following work JWT Chip New tubs standard casings but with 360o bearings @13 PSI with manual boost controllers Hard pipe kit Apexi Induction kit, SE front nose cone, wing bonnet and slam panel (Several auto boxes!) My engine is in tip top condition I have no idea what BHP I am running, but I was driving down a certain private road and Ford mondeo st220 was tail gating me, I pulled over to the slow lane of the private road to let him pass and he continued to tail gate me, after 5 mintues of this (very lon…
