I've bought one of these - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DRAPER-BONDED-WINDSCREEN-REMOVAL-TOOL-35098_W0QQitemZ190171694643QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item190171694643&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 but it's no where near sharp enough to get through the sealant :( Vijay

One problem after another,,, the zed is slowly killing me..... just managed to fix the drivers door window,, as it didnt open,,, turned out to be the black box,, so whacking it a few times and then tapping the wires hard into the connector have seemed to fix that issue.. but now my rear lights have gone... My rear normal lights are have both gone off, bulbs are fine, fuses in main fuse box and fuse box near accelerator are all fine,,, all checked no problem there brake lights working and indicators still working,, headlamps etc still working just rear lamps. I figure I have done in the sensor as i was messing around with rear lights as I wa…

Kinda been waiting for this to happen for a while. Not sure why someone didn;t start making these sooner with the price of the originals in flimsy plastic. http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=classified&msg_id=131735&forum=classified&dtSearch=0

Hi guys, Just had the worst week ever, my missus left me after 5 years and dumped me by text, and i got my first bunch of stars on my license. what a crap week. Could anything else go wrong!? It did, I replaced the hoses for my engine->bulkhead that are the feeds for my heater matrix, i thought that the leak had ceased. brilliant! uh oh, i was wrong :( Theres still a leak coming from the rear centre of the engine bay, lower down from the matrix feeds. its so in-accessible that i cant even see the leak, just the water pissing from its location. Im guessing, its one of the turbo coolant hoses. How on earth Can i swap this out? I cant even see …

Hi All! Well finally got the car back after is repray and it looks the nuts! Problem now is it takes ages to heat up properly, even longer with the heater on, and lets face it, heater is a must cos of winter coming. Basically it was diagnosed as the thermostat last year and I have a new one ready to fit, only problem is, I dont know who as I am crap mechanically and I cant afford to pay a garage as my divorce has and is costing me an absolute fortune. Is there anyone in Nottingham or close by that can help me do it one Saturday? Thanks guys.

I have now managed to get rid of most of the problems with the new setup... What I would like to know about is: The A/F base reading in datascan showes 110 at idle when warm. When driving it can jump from 80 to up to 125. I thought it was supposed to be 100 all the time???

Nice pic of z31 and z32 keys

Hi Guys, as the title really, I have just received an email from the Blatz UK seller and was quoted £99 for the software and USB cable. Is this about right or can I get it cheaper? Thanks:)

Great looking Cherry red Z in Ivybridge ,Devon for sale 2.5k..Seen on sat evening

I just fitted 2 Blitz BOV's I got recently but the only time I hear them is under real hard acceleration, I would have thought with the boost climbing under most conditions they would vent in some way or form. I see from the previous owners posts he had issues with the car stauling and I see one of the adjusting screws was loose like they have been adjusted, anyone ever adjusted Blitz BOV's and if so how much thread is showing on the adjuster screws? Cheers John

Hello folks. Currently trying to remove the spoiler from the 300zx that i purchased, i undone the bolts holding it in place but yet it would not move, was just wondering if they are glued on or what? Any bonnet stops for sale anyone??:)

spied a red zed going up loggans road towards gwithian around 4ish didnt catch the driver who was it? dan.:)

Zx-eyes's car outside Zx-eyes's grandad's house at 16:55 today. Was it you ;):p

with a knacked crossmember, my zed im on about just sick of it now, am thinking of breaking it if i cant fix the cross member, im sure its worthsomething in bits

Where would everyone reccommend i take the zed to get a few engine issues etc sorted?? I started it up yesterday and it seemed a little smokey, now the previous owner hadnt driven in ages so i dont know whether it needs fixing or just running?? Someone did mention something about 'turbo seals'?? Im also wanting it to be serviced etc and generally looked after before i put it on the road. Cheers, Bradley

Hi, On my old clock set in my 1990 Jap TT auto I had the common speedo not working/power steering problem. I got a set of 300kph nismo clocks, but when i plug them in absolutely nothing works, yet when i put in my old set, the rev counter/boost/temp all work. Anyone got any ideas on what to do next. The clocks were working when AndyZ took them out of the car he had. Cheers.

I've just fitted a new engine to my Z. It's a twin turbo and I've made an arse of the myriad of vacuum pipes. Does anyone know where I can get a diagram that shows where they all go?

Does anyone have any pics or know another members car with Chromed headlights on a Black zed. Im toying with the idea of buying the 99 spec inserts and HID's of DTA, Ive seen them done on zx eyes and a few others, but cant find anyone with a black zed. Ive pretty much made up my mind, but need to just make sure, Cheers in advance Stu

Hello all, Here's a description of how I replaced number 2 injector using the dremel method, without removing the plenum. There's nothing new here and it's all been done before, but I thought it might be useful for somebody to see pictures of another example. The screws holding the injectors are covered by the plenum, so normally you need to remove the plenum just to change one injector. The dremel method involves cutting away material from the plenum to allow access to the screws. After 16 years the pipes and wiring around the plenum on my zed are well and truly baked hard, so I didn't want to attempt to remove it. Here are the most useful links I found on…
