I was in the white one. Took a few beeps to get your attention. Looked like you were in a hurry! Nice tidy Z.

Alright folks, had my zed for about a month and here it is. And you've probably guessed its an idle proble. I have done a search and read loads of old threads. It started with what i thought was a tiny rattle but with the bonnet open it appears to be coming from the engine bay closest to the driver next to the brake servo whatsit. It will click very rapidly and the revs will rise then the clicking stops and the revs fall again. From what i can gather it probably the idle control valve but i was under the impression that was on the passenger side? Also, for those guys from my neck of the woods where do you take your z when its poorly? I seem to remember the…

after fitting my new aftermarket gauges my indiglow lights wont work on the dash and my aircon lights/clock wont dim? What have i done now :(

What resistor is needed to do the bypass??? I know its a 1 ohm but 3w or 5w????

I think that was you in the red Z, have you shaved your hair off to go faster? :)

I know it's something we get all the time but has any one seen this front end before?? and where I can get one.. :bow: Ps, If some one can paste the picture in it might help.;) Chris....

after the joy of finding that my rear center panel is illuminated i have found that it doesnt work all the time any ideas where to start looking? secondly iv noticed that my door sill have a 300zx that should also light up but dont lol so going to work on it tomorrow just looking for tips on where to start

After an old-skool look boost controller (something small and that looks 'period Z32'). Has anyone got one of these? I'm talking about the old ones. I've looked at the Greddy Profec A and have read reviews on it and the fact that it can be a pig to set up. I also quite like the look of the old Blitz SBC. If anyone's had experience with either of these, I'd be grateful. Thanks. :)

Why does pearl white look better at night ,is it because the light reflecs better

A26 going south from uckfield towards lewes...i was in the black TT going north

out for a trip today saw 2 very sad unloved looking zeds both seem to have been laid up for ages could be good for spares repairs?...suppose someone could knock on some doors find out first one is a black lwb at groombridge sussex not moved for well over a year its on a grass verge on the main road b2110 looks like a jap TT second one is silver LWB jap TT parked in a cul-de sac right in the middle of tunbridge wells... find it in albert street...off dale street (off camden road)

I've never had an auto, although I've driven one, but is the little check control on the right hand side of the steering column for AT models? The left hand side is fine, CC and HICAS plus others etc. I've never seen anything light up there, or at least I don't think I have!?

Well Wozzer worked wonders and went to look at a car on my behalf today spending loads of his saturday hours for me. Top dog and many, many thanks. Also I bought it. 1994 TT manual SWB Slicktop. Absolutely over the moon with it, couple of small things for me to do and keep me busy but a cracker. I'll take some pics tomorrow and post them (just to show off of course) Well happy Mike

I went to where the car is stored today to sort out a few little things, i went to start it and it wont start! :( All i did was replace two of the spark plugs (as it was misfiring) fit my cubby hole in the dash and put some petrol in. The last time i fired her up she started fine, the only issue im having is a dead battery. Tried jump leads from my Volvo V40, but it didnt seem to hold the charge when disconnected, but even when it was connected it wouldnt start, it was just sat trying to turn over. Is there any comman faults? Nothing has happened to the car since it was last started, its just been sat on a garage ramp without being touched?? Thanks for…

this is pretty much required reading, many people will be scared of a rebuild but this is the best article i have seen http://twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/tech/rebuild/rebuild.aspx

well i finally fitted my HID lights today courtesy of Danny (DTA) and what a big big difference....totally gobsmacked how poor the oem lights are after fitting these babies:bow::bow: phone camara but you get the idea

Had a good day with the Z today! First, it passed its MOT, then I replaced the connector for the TPS, fitted a new TPS and set it up! Running a nice 0.44v now, the old one was reading 5.5v and failed to respond to adjustment!!! Also, a new connector for the coolant temperature sensor. A healthy zero codes on the ECU. An oil change too. I also had time today to machine polish one side and bonnet. Then polished with Meguiars DCP before topping up with Collinte 476 wax which leaves the paint looking so nice and wet! It’s hard to get the glassy effect on pearlwhite / superwhite, but I’ve managed to get it a deeper glossier finish now. The reason I wanted to ma…

Hi .. Its not often a good 300zx turns up on my doorstep for sale, so i may pop along and have a look at this car ... just curious as to what some of you think of the price tag ? ... I know its worth what im prepared to pay and all that but i just want to double check that its not grossly over priced .... although it is a low mileage .... the garage says it has fully documented history from Japan ... It is a manaul box and aswell as the tracker it has a CAT1 alarm, the guy says it has traction control but i was'nt aware that any model 300zx had traction control ??? ... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/645355.htm Much appriciated ... ;)
