I'm hoping it won't be too long now till I'm able to buy my first Zed. I've been looking around at ones forsale on the net and was wondering about the whole issue of rust. Is rust generally repairable (I mean properly, so it's as good as new, won't come back in 6 months)? If so what sort of cost is normally involved? Is it feasible to buy a car with some rust and factor in the cost of getting it sorted, or are they generally doomed once it starts to appear? Any advice would be greatfully appreciated Phill

I'm hoping to install a HID kit this weekend. Has anyone got the wiring diagram for the relay mod that allows you to flash the high beam leaving the HIDs off.

Hi I'll be in Wichita (US) for 2 weeks from this wednesday. I thought it could be a good chance to pick up some cheap bits for the Zed while Im over there due to the exchange rate. Ive had a look on ebay, and to make life simpler ive checked for items for sale in Wichita itself (Kansas state) to avoid any potential mess ups with delivery. unfortunately ive only found the following (not needed by me!) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/300zx-Twin-Turbo-Border-VG30-850cc-Fuel-Injector-Kit_W0QQitemZ130252034546QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item130252034546&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C65%3A7%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245 Dont know much about these but sounds cheap!!…

Had the z about 3 weeks and im used to the standard speed now, need just a little more. When i bought the car it had a boost controller in the boot not plugged in. It looks a bit ancient but being hks id imagine it was still able to do the job.

only just got round to it but i would like to say a big big thankyou to DAVEZX he gave up a lot bof his time (weekends) tools, and experiance, to help me fit the new engine in my car , just in time to go down to jae it drove down there faultlessly and back (however we did have a blowout) but without his help this would not have been possible, without sending it to a garage (loads a money). top bloke, and would give his time and help to anyone he could thanks dave also thanks to blackslag (chris) for loan of lift, and hopefully a quick conzult check, when i get time to come round

I think my clutch is on the way out. Could someone provide me with ball park figures of how much it would cost to have repaired (labour & parts) and also how much an upgraded clutch costs?

I might change the engine oil on the zed this weekend its a 91 tt I usually use castrol magnatec and want to use something different? coz I have noisy lifters and I have read on here that the magnatec can make your lifters noisy?? I dont want to spend stupid money on oil as the cars standard apart from stainless but would like something that might ease the lifter noise? Wynns lifter treatment doesent work so hopefully different oil may help? Any advice would be great and how much oil will the engine take??? Cheers.

I recently acquired a gauge part from the 2000spec instrument cluster and as i execpted when i compared the new part with a part from a 90 model cluster there was a big difference with the mounting screws making replacment impossible. I was expecting this outcome and have always planned to swap the face plates over so i can use my original cluster if i needed to. Now ive read a few threads about how different the 94+ cluster is compared to the 89 cluster. Ive been checking on Nissan fast (offical nissan spare parts program) and it seems nissan changed the cluster design in 92 (by what nissan fast is showing me) I can see the difference of the 2 clusters but what i wa…

Can anyone advise me on the best way of fitting mesh to a WW front bumpers massive vent! lol

Got a new fuel filter to fit, what quickest and easiest way to depressurise system?

Anyone know where I can get these? I think its mainly the wastegate fitting instructions that we need. Pictures or diagrams would be a great help if possible

Tweaky fitted my new WW front bumper tonight, did a great job but there is still one thing I need to sort out, purely because its fibreglass the fit is never 100% The fog lamps have a gap of approx 1 cm where the fibreglass bumper doesnt sit flush. What can I do to make it look better? And if I remove them, what are my options for the hole?

Tweaky came over from Derby tonight to help remove my stock bumper and fit my new WW fibreglass one! He was an absolute legend, stayed from 5:30 until 9:00 even working through the dark with his car lights on! Above and beyond mate, and you did a cracking job, even in the face of adversity lol with it being fibreglass. A couple of small jobs left to do, but all in all, TOP JOB and a TOP MAN! Tweaky, will give you a bell in a couple of days, and hope your missus wasnt to peed off, mine was awful quiet when I got in :x:
