i dont really like the aeriel up on the ZX. is there a fuse or something i can remove, so that the signal goes to the actual aerial, but without it shooting up 40 foot in the air? looks much sleeker when its down

Red Z going coast bound on the M20 near Lenham,I was in the silver Z London bound at about 6pm.

Anyone know of any good mechanics in the Newcastle area who know their way around a Zed gearbox? I am having difficult getting the box into third. Before you say, i may get a manual conversion later but at the moment I am keen to try and save my autobox!!

hmm..its got potential. Would have to sort out the vent adjuster holes on that side but its more discreet than having it on top of dash.

Just been out to check the car (again and again and again!) the rears all seem fine as do the front. I have noticed some movement in the front anti roll bar when i pull it? Should this be solid or have any movement at all? Also does anyone know of a good and reliable garage in London????? Cheers Alex

Not had car that long (cuple of months). Reading posts re kwik fit was thinking of going there but have noticed belt missing to air con pump, got one on order, what common faults am i looking for, apart from no gas, with air con?

Hi, hope someone can help me with this. Ive just bought my first 300zx tt on a 92 plate, superb car but the engine cuts out when idling. It idles just under 1000rpms but when i rev quite high say 5000-6000rpm then lift off the gas pedal it drops down to 500rpm then cuts out, it starts no with no problems at all idles at 500rpm then cuts out. I dont really know much about these cars yet so any help would be great.

after reading a few car mags recently ive come to the conclusion for nissan to palm us off with 280 bhp from a 3 litre 24 valve twin turbocharged engine is totally pathetic:( work on the basis that 100bhp per litre is easly obtainable by most 4 valve per bore motors so why the hell did we get short changed in that department and working on that basis.. wtf are the turbos for as they aint earning there keep in these motors thats for sure:confused:

Could someone tell me if theres a drain on one of these jaspers, because mines full, as far as i'm aware its an overflow and not an expansion tank. I had a problem with my zed dumping coolant intermitantly from the passy side arch. Off the road at the mo but having the rad out to flush every thing through, Any thoughts ????

For some reason i cannot add another pic to my rides. I deleted one pic and can not upload another. The file itself is 433kb. Any ideas?

Had a prob with passenger side lock for a while. I know what the prob is but not quite sure how to sort it. The plastic on the u shaped bit that is attached to the body of the car is split so when u push the button on the fob the little lock thingy that is supposed to hook over is dont hook over properly. I have tried glueing it but it just splits again. I'm worried if i strip the plastic off totally that the door will rattle. Anyone got any suggestions? Cheers peeps

After the success of the rolling road day, a few of us got chatting about having a Boxhill to Brighton run again. We did this a couple of years back, and was a good meet and drive. Nearly 20 zeds. Then some food and a beer at Brighton Marina Have run this by Nick32, looking for doing something last couple of weekends of August, As it is a between regions South east and South central. Any views???? Thoughts??? Stu

Done some more LED work and changed my clear side indicators from this to this I think it looks better than the single globe. Not too hard to wire up, done in four sets of four LEDs. Now they match the rear ones Tony:cool:

when do you know when you have to give up on the zed? Its at phil's getting the engine rebuilt at the minute. The problem i have is that after its sat around in the elements for so long its apparently in bad shape. I believe the main problem is the back arches but having heard from a fellow member on here the car is in a lot worse shape than i think. I also know i need to check under the back seat to look at the floor etc. There's the option of buying another zed cheap and putting the engine and any other good stuff into it from my current 1. What else should i think about doing? I will be going wide arch so if its just the arches then i should be ok. To b…

Just wondering as the zed is now twenty years old nearly, are we now classic car owners or enthusiasts or modifiers?

Hi All. I'm looking at getting a aftermarket rev counter. There are different options for how high the rev counters go upto. What is the highest most modified Zeds will safely Rev to? Could this beyond 9000 revs?

removed rear light tinting with cellulose thinners today, masked off area and finished them perfectly. Removed tape and some thinners seeped through and there is the odd black smear. How do I get rid of this? G3?? Might be worth mentioning it hasn't stripped any paint, just looks a little hazy in places.

whats the difference in auto boxes for turbos and non turbos is it ok to fit a non turbo auto box to a turbo engine. i didnt think there was a difference, but reading through the specs apparently a non turbo auto box does not have a drain plug ???

I managed to get 2 personal number plates for £200 I was working on my Zed at my unit today which is coming on well now;) When the guy in the unit next to me who rents the unit out to work on his banger racing cars asked if i wanted to buy a personal plate. I wasnt to interested as i like my plate on my zed already BST 1 32B meaning Best 32 or Best 1 32. 32 meaning z32. Anyway he had bought an old Escort to race which had a plate reading B16 HP R (BIG HORSEPOWER) After some thinking I thought it would be good to change the plate as ive done so much to the car now i want it all to be different for when i get her back on the road. So i asked him how much gue…

Can anyone tell me if the Z32 & R32 front suspension are the same? I'm looking around at adjustable suspension arms for my project & some places list some of the front suspension arms for the Z32 & R32 as the same but others list then as different. Everyone list the camber arms as the same. Thanks Stu

Well, it's only taken about 5 months to get some tyres sorted, with me changing jobs and working my way back up and 1 thing or another... any way, think the exterior is now pretty much sorted, need to get it lowered but i'm happy now...... pics....

Small prob, passenger side headlights are not working so i checked the power imput to discover that there is very little power going into the zenon power box ( not sure what its called) compared to the drivers side. any sugestions it has me stumped.
