Spotted a G reg grey TT 300zx in Basildon turning into BP petrol station near Burntmills. Looked stock apart from the wheels.

Going north on the M1 yesterday about 5ish. Came screaming up behind me and had a quick play. Sorry I sped off but that porsche need to be taught a lesson. :hyper: Good to see you have the Z running buddy. Darrell

G reg with black number plates

Silver rag top going north on the M6 today around 3ish. I was going south but didn't have chance to flash. Darrell

I saw a red zed at 4.45pm today in Upholland, Wigan. It was LOUD, very nearly as loud as mine, lol. Only really caught the back end as I busy correcting the girl in the chippy, who thought it was a ferrari, LOL. But I did see 6 pot venom rear lights. Was it you?

Story so far........... Took the car to Jeff at Zedworld who did a great job on putting in a new prop shaft which took away that annyoing rumble under the seat. He also found a loose steering joint which he cured and suggested the discs which had been skimmed hadn't been on the inside rim. The vibration through the steering wheel improved but was still there. As suggested i changed the discs and pads and hey preston no vibration whatsoever......i was also running in the discs very slowly. Last weekend i took off one wheel to sand down some minor kerb damage and took out the car again to find some steering wheel judder had returned???????????????? …

after recent requests for 1 meg resistors to bypass the dett sensor members lose the facililty to protect against "dett" resulting in the £££££'s worth of damage to there motors...an ideal situation is to replace the original sensor but needs the upper and lower plenum removed so ive found this link that provides the know-how to relocate the sensor which imho is a lot better than a resister and still provides the "safe map";) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EZoOcHtv-LI&feature=related

Woohoo, Got the full Greddy kit now so that means the rebuild can be completed:dance: Thanks again Nend By the way if anyone ever needs to get anything from him he is highly recomended, He only got the money on Tuesday and the parts were in my house when I got home last night :dance::dance::dance:

hi. Are there any members in Nottinghamshire who can help me weld up my spoiler holes? Thanks

Hey all I'm trying to get some new wheels and am looking second hand. I have Ksports 8 pots and 350mm front brakes and the 6 pot 330 mm rears. I have found some second hand rims but need to know if they will fit ok? Ive found some 18's on ebay but wanted some advice: My question is can I run 42 offset fronts and 48 offset rears? Also can I run 9's front and rear? Will a 72mm hub be a problem can I sort this with a spacer? Cheers Ron

My name is ZX-EyeBalls:cool: and I take no shit.

As above, is there some way to check these to see if they are working but not properly? As in a certain resistance or something?

I'm in the process of fitting some aftermarket gauges and I have a couple of questions. One of my gauges is an Air/Fuel Ratio gauge. After reading the installation guide, the wiring is as follows:- Red:- Ignition + Black:- Battery - Gray:- 02 Sensor Signal Purple:- Dimmer (conect to headlight switch) What I would like to know is can I pick up the 02 sensor signal from the ECU and if so which pin is it?. It also refers to heated and non-heated Oxygen sensors with anything from 1 to 4 wires. Can I ignore this if I can connect to the ECU?. Secondly, I'm also fitting a boost gauge. What would be the best way to connect the hoses up as the instruction…

Sort of got started on it again after about 6 months due to moving workshop, having a baby etc!! Got the oil lines run to the tank in the boot. Pretty pleased with them as it's the first time I've really welded anything, bought myself a TIG off ebay, a few lessons off Leon at Alunox (who makes it look like the easiest thing in the world, b*****d :) ) and gave it a shot. They're 304 S/S so should outlast the car. Fuel lines run on the same brackets are annealed ali just because it's easy to bend. Also managed to eliminate a big loop I had on the front scavenge satage as I couldn't get the braided hose to bend tightly enough without kinking. Just did it in rubbe…

Hi Guys I was just wondering how much you all pay or have paid for 300zx Gaskets? Full engine set or just the head gasket?

Black 2+2 , aftermarket alloys , very clean and shiny heading towards Beechdale Swimming Baths .

about 6 months ago i discovered my det sensor had gone so i was told to put a resistor in the female det connection blocks which i did and it worked fine for about 3 month then i noticed i lost power again so i fiddled with the resistor and it worked again and now the problem is iv lost power again it seems to be the same power i lost when the det sensor went iv replaced the resistor and still have loss of power anybody got any ideas ??

thought i would print off the user guide for me conzult-z32-tuner so i can try and learn something,98 pages long and me printer ran out of ink on page 71:headvswal had a quick look :confused: what dont it do? :) dan.:smash:

Thinking ive got a small hissing noise leak, ive searched on here and have made a very cheap DIY one. 1. Coffee jar lid from i think it was either nescafe or iceland. drill 8mm hole in. 2. cut valve from old bike tyre tube push the valve through the drilled hole, quite tight but will give good seal. Make sure to go in from the top of the lid as the base will make it easier to remove. Undo clip that holds the MAF housing, and squeeze in, perfect fit, Took me less than five mins to make and at a cost of nothing. Have only tried with foot pump at the mo, but have found the leak already. If using a pressure line i will see if the valve has a good seal. S…

hiya all i recently purchased a hks turbo timer and then got a harness off one of our good friends at daventry :)thing is theres 2 plugs on the end of the harness and a black wire and a grey wire with a female end..excuse my ignorance but where do they all fit thanks in advance:bow:

I have a couple of queries. Is there any difference between a Jap and UK one? Can you put a UK ecu in to a Jap car? Is there any difference between year models? i.e. series 2 better than a series 1 etc If I have done a manual conversion on a car I know I can run the auto ecu but is it better to have a manual one? Thanks Lee

dont bother with the sound as you will just get bonging, looks pretty cool. Enjoy

hey! This is my Z, it's gonna be in the UK next summer, in Woking, gonna get a complete motor/suspension/body upgrade Can't wait to join some Z clubs in the southwest london region and attend meets! i'm currently in the process of removing my window tint, got the passenger door done, working on the rear and the small passenger window at the moment i took a few pics to post up on the UK 300zx forum, though i might post some here aswell oh, and i know it needs a drop and some camber adjustment to tuck the rear in the fender a bit, but i'm done modding it for the next year or so. It's gonna be shipped to england and taken apart to upgrade whatever i…

Just found this, interesting watching it, little bit unfair that the S15 has a sequancial box but shows some interesting things up bearing in mind the zed was the second most powerful car there!! Mike

gents have done a search but cant find a write up for the manwel conversion is there one about :tongue: cheers dewi.
