Hi guys, Recently I posted up a thread regarding the collection of a 300ZX far away and I was asking for some advice on what to look out for etc... So... I give the guy the cash and drove the beast away, an immediate smile on my face, the purring V6 is fantastic, never driven an auto before and it was bliss. 50 miles later my pants started to fill, I gave it a little bootfull and the worst I could think of happened... The engine was misfiring like a biatch and there was no power, I sruggled to the top of the hill absolutely bricking myself (my parents were behind me) as I came to a slow halt. I looked under the hood and gave it a blip on the throttle, it was lum…

Hi is there somewhare where this forum has listed all the stock performance figures? I am interested in the stock times 0-60 and 1/4 mile for a NA 2+2 Auto? anyone got any ideas? If we dont have details already then it would be a good reference eg NA 2+2 Manual, Auto TT 2+2 Manual, Auto NA SWB Manual, Auto TT SWB Manual, Auto NA Conv, MAN, Auto TT Conv Man, Auto. If anyone can help me out here then thanks.

I want to fit my 99 spec bumper and use some carbon fibre vents for the foglight holes, the missing part of the plan is an alternative site for the sidelights?

Hi, How much of the rear of an N/A is needed to swap the diff onto a TT? Do the hubs get swapped over too? Cheers Vijay

Im sure it was a slicktop ,i saw it outside gbh motorsports in colchester essex today. White with race logic traction control stickers all over it ,never seen it before looks a bit of a track car cage /bucket seats etc.Also a red metalic 2x2 kitted up big spoiler and round rear lights.

who does them for the zed? im looking into make an n/a track slag.:dance: cheers

Saw another Zed in Shrewsbury driving up Wyle Cop at about 5:45 today. Was grey and looked like it was a fairly stock UK model, apart from the exhausts. You may have seen me (dressed in black) stop and stare as you drove up the hill.

saturday 26th, about 12 oclock, the first one had a scarab front bumper i think and was going past the leyland gates and the new morrisons with the roof off, good man. The second was my old Z, The reg started K300, looking as sexy as it ever did, smoking a bit though. Is it anyone on here? danny

My car is a Series 1 N/A LWB Is there any difference in the spec of the rear wheel bearings between this and any other 300zx

Right still got this blasted missfire! MAF Checked and fine, Coilpacks Checked and Fine (Bought USed set but not needed) Injectors checked had bad connection on one, cleaned and sorted! Water Sensor cleaned and fine. No Air leaks (Boost Leak checked and cleared) and Conzult came back Clean (No Probs) Any ideas what else it might be??? Got a Gumball Rally equivalent at the end of August and i really need it sorted before it!!!! Get the random stalls (Foot on Clutch but revs just die anyways) Unpredictable idle (Floats from 500rpm Most of the time to up 1000rpm) So when im clutching around in traffic occasionaly car judders as not even doing 500rpm so i loo…

Hi, Any tips on removing a rear brake disk that is seized? Got one size off but the other is stuck fast :( Cheers Vijay

im doing this on friday this week, only ever changed the pads on the zed when it comes to brakes, is there anything i need to look out for when doing this or is is pretty straight forward, got the disks, brakets, bolts, new pads, copper grease. any advice/tips???

just seen this on pistonheads http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/633497.htm

Hi guys, Making some progress with my 'dodgy motor'. I've been trying to pressurise the system without much success, I've resorted to breaking the system into sections and testing one section at a time. Found some big and small leaks but when attempting the entire system it won't seem to hold anything. I'm only using a cheapo air compressor which is pretty slow to inflate a bike tyre. It seems all my pressure is escaping through the front PCV hoses - presumably into the crankcase? The hoses appear to have a baffle and a wire filter inside, is there a particular orientation for fitting these? (i.e. baffle or wire filter on engine side). The system can be pressuri…

Where is the best/cheapest place to get Conzult software and cable from? I'm looking at getting some kind of software to 'talk to' the zed and Conzult looks the better option over Datascan feature wise. I've been looking at getting it from blazt.biz and it comes to £189.94 for full Conzult software, the cable and the shipping. Before I press the purchase button - is there anywhere better/cheaper to get it from and more importantly - for the people that have already bought it: is it really worth £189.94 or shall I just stick to the little light on the ECU :confused: CheerZ, Vern
