Hey everyone. I wanting to relocate the battery to the boot. Just wondering what size cable I need for the battery. Thanks

Hi all, Taking on my first proper mechanical project on the 300zx that I've acquired and it's going to be sorting out the radiator that has a hole in it. I'm thinking of installing a manual Radiator and then installing an Oil Cooler for the gearbox oil. Looking at something like this for the oil cooler: It seems a fairly simple enough job, but there are a few things I'm hoping someone can help with: 1) When I put the oil cooler in, should I top that up with autobox oil first or let the car run and top up based on the oil level? 2) The oil cooler kits that I've seen come with AN10, AN8, or AN6 hoses. Does anyone know which AN size would be …

Hi guys, got low compression on my engine so looking for some advice on where i can send it to be bored out? Can rebuild it myself no worries but don't have anyone local that can bore it. Any recommendations would be appreciated :thumbup:

I was after opinions on the best coating for the underneath of my old Volvo daily driver?

Best part of replacing a turbo coolant hose is testing afterwards! :chinese:

Spotted a nice black Z today with an interesting nose panel in heading from Beford East Yorkshire heading across the A165 into Skipsea. Number plate might have said "Gaz" or something similar. Was it you? My rents have a caravan there and my Z is due back on the road next week and I'll def be visiting in it!

Back at the start of the month I picked up a new project. (Gallery of full size pics Here) Drove straght down to Wales after work and arrived back home early on Thursday morning with it. Ok, so 2am is not the best time to be taking pics :D. Heres a few more in daylight. She's a JDM '99 NA in midnight purple, has already had a manual conversion and a few extras (EGR delete, HID's, Japspeed exhaust) but is in need of a bit of tidying up (and some turbos :D)

I have just been on DVLA car checker and this UK TT reg number G96 CRX that I once owned has not been MOTed or taxed since 2009.. I would love to know if its laid up in a garage somewhere or even be able to buy her back! Has anyone got any info on her please.

Had a very big surprise today lee dent turned up with his good lady with a new windscreen and apexi exhaust for me and staying over to help put the gearbox in the morning weather permitting

Need urgent advise. Just come to fit my new front coil overs and am stuck on how to proceed. The photos shows the full extended BC and the standard OEM. The difference in length is massive. It just does not seem right. Can anyone guide as to the way towards asap

Haven't seen a thread on this for a while so let's see the current demographics on model year. Pick for the cars you currently own. I'm betting 1992 will have the most.

Hi guys Well im doing a bit of research for a temp fix on the heater in zebedee. The temp control has never worked but the fan works fine on all speeds. Lee dent did a bit of troubleshooting last time she was there relays all good fuse box ok no wet the control pod swapped out for another with no change to problem so we think its the motor that controls the air gate thats gone. As the temp is stuck on full hot it makes driving in warm weather even with everything switched off quite uncomfortable so i want to try and get under the dash and manually pull the air gate into a cooler position. Does anyone have any photos or info as to where the gate and motor is so i have …

Long wait is over! Very pleased with it! Only odd thing is the chassis plate is missing....slightly concerning. Thought it looks like it's been gone for a while. I assume it had to go through various checks in Japan though so..... Any thoughts?

Im getting ready for some new pads in my 350Z gold brembo front calipers. I have been using a set of Porterfield R4S compound which have been superb. I was going to change to some Ferodo DS2500s as the Porterfields are not readily available in the UK and are quite pricey. Price is not an issue tho.I just need a pad that works on track 100% and is acceptable on the road. Does any one have any thoughts/suggestions?? Also under consideration are.... Hawk HP+ (not HPS) or Project MU HC800 (not NS400) or EBC Bluestuff.

Hi everyone, One of my Ignition coil packs has failed and I need a new one, my Zed is running 392bhp is it best to keep the coil packs standard original Nissan part or is aftermarket ones any better if so what are the best makes out there and I maybe upping the power in the future what is the best option I have standard or aftermarket. Thanks

Will this fit my 1995 Z... Airbag of course... I'm about to pay, we agreed upon a price and would my airbag components transfer to that wheels airbag? Read his description of item please! Momo Autech It's a nice looking wheel and supposedly will fit since it's an airbag aftermarket made for Nissan. The design of the grips are nice and it'll be nicer upgraded looking feature too & have it wrapped if needed vs wrapping OEM. What is your opinion? Is this a direct bolt on wheel without modification since it's a Nissan steering wheeL Thanks!!!

[video=youtube_share;xRry6KpSEB4] Please can someone give me an idea to what is causing this? It gets worse when the engine is warm. I have to drive with the A/C on even tho I have no air con just to up the revs at idle Sent from my S60 using Tapatalk

As most of you know, I have a pair of Recaro Speed seats fitted in my Zed. These were actually an option during the Z32's production run and, as such, are sort of "period correct." What are peoples' thoughts on changing them for a newer model of Recaro...? Maybe a pair out of an Evo 9, or even an Evo 10...? Should I "modernise" the cabin, or leave things as they are to retain a little authenticity (well, as authentic as red leather can be!)...? Go.....

As I have dropped the rear sub frame I would like to renew as much as possible. One of the things are the 2 CV half shafts (drive shafts). In the us there is a company who remanufacture them unfortunately they stopped doing so for the 300zx. Do any of you know if there is a company in the UK who has new or remanufactured ones? Thanks Peter

I've bought a Zed thats had a light(wish) front knock and is now suffering from a starting issue. Basically its starts for a few seconds and then stutters and cuts out, the engine seems ok when it is running so, I suspect that its a vacuum issue or something along those lines. While investigating I noticed that the recirc valves have been removed and capped on the inlet pipes but, there are still open pipes on both sides coming from the tubs in front of the rad. Could this be the cause of the issue? The car was an insurance write-off so maybe its been raided and the after markets BOVs have been removed. This pic might explain it better...
