Hi all, been a couple of years since I was last on here (long enough for my login to expire!). Just thought I'd say hello, but it might not be for long as I'm selling my Z. Shame really but I've moved onto an Elise after splashing out all the money rebuilding the Z engine with new turbos etc. Anyway, cheers everyone for your help over the years. David

The mrs is going to Tokyo for 10 days on business in october... what should i get her to bring me home for the zed? must not weigh too much and fit in her suitcase/hand luggage.. my initial thoughts are an apexi avc-r in black ;) but i cant think of any alternatives that i might like :confused: ideas on a postcard or in this thread!

Hi everyone. I am the proud new owner of a Z32!! It currently has a triple plated clutch, which frankly I cant deal with! It is booked in for the rear oil seal to be replaced this saturday and I have been told this is the perfect time to replace the clutch. I have heard that RPS are the best, so I ordered one through SRB motorsport. They have now informed me that they cant get the clutch on time!! Does anyone know of somewhere else that I can get any good clutch quickly? I want it to be as OEM as normal, but able to handle the extra power the car has. Thanks in advance, Tom.

Im after tinting my targa's so the light still comes into the cab but shades from the sun slightly. I have targa shades, but with them on it feels like you are in a coffin imo. Has anyone tried this and if so what are your feelings? Cheers Graham

Failed on the following: Near Side Steering Rack Boot completely split Split pin missing from Near Side Bottom Ball Joint Both Rear Track Rod Ends need replaced.

hi all anybody got a mass airflow meter as mine has been diagnosed as faulty :(

Hi everyone, I new to being owned by a zx lol Iv got a 1987 300zx 2+2 Auto and im having some problems. A few days ago I changed the auto gearbox oil as the manual said with no problems but after replacing the sump I started to refill the gearbox with oil and that's when it all got complicated!! As far as I have worked out the gear box oil dipstick has been changed and is no where near correct! :confused: basically with less than 2lt of oil in the box the dip stick is telling me its way over filled.....over 2 inches above the max line. I have rang Nissan and ordered a replacement dipstick but it will take 4 weeks to arrive. As the cars on ramps with no oi…

What do we think of this bumper? Do ya's think its one of the nicer ones?

Hi, I have the Garrett GT28RS turbos which i havent yet fitted. I was just looking on the Z1 site and found some oil feed return lines for my set-up i think?

I have just been out for a drive in the zed and wish I hadn't bothered. First after it had warmed up I got to a set of traffic lights and noticed white smoke whilst it was idleing, which disappeared when I pulled off. Parked up and went into some shops drove off back towards home and as I got to a another set of traffic lights it just died as I put the clutch in, started first turn of the key though, carried on driving still noticed a bit of smoke whilst idleing. Then as I got home it was hard to put it into first gear and reverse. Its not been my most enjoyable drive, it had been running ok for the last few months.

How easy is it to remove the manual gearbox from a TT car ? Is there anything in particualr I should look out for ? I have done a few gearboxes in the past so I think I know whats invloved, just never from a Z32

hi all just had my 1991 non turbo engine checked out on a diagnostic tuner because i had a flat spot ,,, cost me 47 quid [call me tight but i think 47 bucks for 10 min is ridiculous] it said the knock sensor is faulty thats why its running lumpy ,,so where can i get a replacement sensor and where on the engine block is its location ,,, cheers jim:confused:
