Time to replace the old Nissan old-man-type steering wheel (with airbag, 1996 SWB TT) Any recommendations please ? :)

With a red stone chip protector on front i was in the lorry that blew my horn.;)

Hi Guys, I'm looking at buying a non turbo Z, 1t's a late 1995 car and although I know quite a bit about the Z's as I've had loads of the years, I've never had a non turbo. One of the things I've noticed is this car doesnt have the digital climate but rather the manual controls like on the convertibles? Is this something that usually comes on the non turbos or what is the reason behind this?

Im going to buy the stillen sway bar kit with end links tonight, I want to fine tune the zed so i have slightly less understeer and slightly more oversteer Would The rear have to be soft and front hard for this affect? Or is it the other way round? Been reading the us forum but i dont trust too much of what the yanks say Thanks

Hey Guys, Just been talking to the guys looking at my 300 and they say its about £700 labor but 5k in parts - HOWEVER they have used 350 parts as a guide as they cant find prices for a 300! Is that right? can they do that, thought they would need to do it like for like? have asked the ins co but they say they will look into it but dont want them to rip me off.

What items would you reccomend replacing whilst the engine is out, I will be replacing the wiring loom, what else is cheap but worth changing?

Spotted and chatted for a bit. Did tell him about site, so will hopefully sign up. Nice clean uk model, Hope to see ya again

Since the engine is out and I have stripped out the hicas I am on a mission to make the engine bay clean and less cluttered so have ordered these... http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=21_22_54&products_id=362 Figure they should do the trick!

does anyone have a dremel they can bring on Saturday for me to use for an hour? Thanks

Go on then, if you have a 3" bore exhaust how much did you pay for it? I've just been given a quote of near on £1k for a turbo back system with sport cats up to the existing backboxes. Just wanting to know how good a price this is. Cheers, Bradley

have been enquiring about getting my tracking done, sent an email to revolution (quite a well known tuning shop in newcastle) and this is the reply about my tracking, what are camber bolts????, and this sounds like a decent price if thay are any good this is the reply Hi Allen, Yes it shouldn't be a problem aligning your 300ZX, we can easily take into account the increase in total track width and if you so wish, we can set up your vehicles geometry to your own spec! However we would advise that you purchase some front alignment products in the form of camber bolts. We can source these from the US and can have them across here in the UK within 6 working…

Just looking through some of the OLD JAE 06 pictures, looked like a good one, I wasnt there that year. and that storm....Holy sh*t. :D

well it finaly happend! I had a major crash and the 300 is no more. or at least I think it is! Just waiting the ins company to pick it up now should be here in the next 30 mins and only had the crash last night :o impressed with the service so far thought they would fart about getting an assessor to look at it.

As for pics, see below! and as for what happend, well the back end broke away and i applied opisit lock, and cought it, then she whiped the other way, cought that and over cooked it and spun her 180 in the middle of the M25 in rushhour into a artic in lane 1 with…

well got bored tonight so decided to go for a drive and try to find somewhere to take some nice pics of the car and after around an hour and a bit of driving around gave up and just went down to theforth bridges, parked up and noticed this when i got out my 300zx sign lights up yipeee! iv had the car for over 2 years and never noticed this even looked and read up on how to make this light up for over an hour the other day should have probably just checkedit lol anyway heres the rest of the pics i took

hi guys and galls ive been reading a thread on this section ref the aux cooling fan it says that it should run when you first start the car but mine isnt the fan is ok and ive changed the relay in the fuse box could anyone please help on this matter:)

Has anyone fitted one of these to there car ? if so does anyone know if it will fit in place of the cigarette lighter? I beleive the switch is about 9cm deep and wondered if it would fit. Thought i'd ask first instead of pulling my centre console out and measuring it. Thanks Scott

just noticed that my car doesnt seem to be locking when i press the fob for the alarm, the keys have never been used to lock it since iv had it(just over 2 years) so i cant use them as they wont turn lol. it does lock if i push the button inside so the mechanism is working what could be causing it tostop working off the fob?

msg from a mate of mine... "was in the Silver skyline spotted a nice looking Red Zed with Black wheels in the Tesco garage on the way back to Brighton from Shoreham after work today do you know who it is" :D Anyone on here :) He reckons its really nice :) :)

I am considering designing something for the rear lights in my Z. I am wanting to convert them to LED. All of the LED conversions I've seen just don't look that special on the Z32, whilst they look better than stock, when illuminated, the LEDs are very defined and I've never seen anyone make them illuminate the complete area the bulbs did. The nice radius of the edges is lost and I want a more even glow. I am wondering if anyone here would know whether a contoured PCB with wave soldered micro/nano LEDs would work effectively? You'll not only get rid of the dots that large standard size LEDs emit but also, being more compact, you'd also be able to match the radius of …

I need to remove the n/s throttle body. Can this be done without removing the plenum?

I removed the egr valve on saturday, i blocked up the holes on either side of the plenium & the one on the manifold. Is there anything else that needs blocking off? as i now have an air leak & the car is running really rough? cheers carl

Can anyone tell me what fuse covers the circuit for the stereo and its location please ??
