Need a little clarification here. I was all set for changing my side lights, which I thought were 501's in the fog light. However, when I looked at the fogs, there's just 1 bulb which appears to be both fog and side. Thought I was going made, so checked the indicator housing and there's one bulb for the indicator, and another which I've never seen on! WTF!?!?!?! Its a 94 Jap spec car. Am I right in thinking that UK cars have the side lights in the indicator housing, and Jap spec with the fog? So there should be 2 bulbs in my fog and only the indicator in the indicator housing. To add to my confusion, the fog light is just soldered to the wire and has …

Hi for insurance reasons how do i find out my membership number? Cheers Dan

Just been told one of my headlights is stuck on and wont go out? could this be teh relays?

I have had my first meltdown today. Pulled up at traffic lights and the engine cut out. I tried to start her but it behaved like it had a flat battery. Luckily I had a portable jumpstart box in the boot fully charged. I jumped it, but lots of rubber smelling smoke filled the car, it seemed to be coming from the driver's side of the engine bay - near the front, but I couldn't see anything. No warning lights came on and the oil pressure was good, as was the temp guage. I drove home and abandoned the car there, but it drove home fine and the smoke and smell cleared really quickly. Anyone got any ideas what that could be? I don't want to drive it if I might have issues.

For winning car of the month. Well deserved :D http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=118976 :dance: Well done to all the runners up including myself :D and better luck next time.

Hi all, as you probably know, I have been after a replacement speed sensor for an auto box, couldn't get one, so have repaired my own, dissmantled it, coil was ok, but the magnets had lost their magnetism, so re-magnetised them with a big magnet, put it all back together, and hey presto, works perfect! I'm chuffed, and ya never know, this may help somebody else with the same problem....

I bought some crystal corners a little while back and tried to fit them this weekend. They don’t want to fit into my Stillen bumper. The reason is because for the way the bulb inserts are angled, which is different form the original JDM ones. Anyone else had this problem with any other bumper ?

Well my Intercoolers turned up today. Really pleased with the quality and amazed at how much bigger they are compared to the stock ones. Well these are part of the bits I'm collecting ready for my rebuild starting early next year. Really looking forward to the start of that, just got to wait for the turbos to turn up, with the forged internals I'm ordering after xmas and im finally getting somewhere with ashspec and the radiator problem I've been having since march. One thing I want to ask is, the slight dent in the finns (shown in the second picture), will they affect the efficiency of the cooler? Thanks Ant

im basically trying to draw up a complete list of things i want to get done to my zed so i can start working through it. both me and my better half have remarked on many occasions that we think my car either looks to need lowered as it sits quite high or that the wheels were to small, they are 18s that are on it the now what do you guys think?

had car back today, clutch has been slipping, for a good 3 months odd now. put foot down now, POWER everywhere!! wheel spin in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, sideways all the time, an iv got new tires on there!!! thaught something was wrong at first, difficult to pull off with out a judder. really gotta be carefull in the wet, an even more on the frost. PS car is just basic exhaust, filter, decats. cant wait for chip and boost up! cant imagine how terryfying its gonna be!

I must add that everyone that I have spoke too, shown or took for a drive in the Zed ....... love it :nana2: From mate's dad's having the glazed look in their eyes to my partners dad (who is 73 wth 2 new hips) literally jumping in the car after I have got out at their house (you can see in the smirk, he wants to blast it). Not one bad or even cheesy comment (a few saying how much earlier I arrive to the office ;))

Sorry Chewie, registered users are not permitted to advertise. I know it's not your car - but we have to be fair.

Guys, Christmas is a special time of year, what about a welsh meet any ideas,

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
