Just thought i'd show you what im doing with my 6x9's. Couldn't fit them in so i'd thought of designing my own pods. I have fiberglassed them today. Will show you tomorrow when i have finished them. Then will cover. They sound good!!:hyper:

anyone know if a 6 ton press is man enough to remove/fit suspension bushes or do I need to invest in something meatier ?

Can anyone tell me how you withdraw the spring and needle valve from the aac, cant see that it withdraws through the motor side and the other end has some sort of resin in the end????

Will a 114.2 X 5 fit on my car? Will I be able to get 9.5 et35's on the back without roling the arches? or should I stick with 8's and 9's? Cheers :duffer:

My 93 import Z32 N/A auto, sold it earlier this year to a lad down the road. He rung me today saying it's failed the MOT on emmisions? I had it through 3 MOT's and never had a problem? It's completely stock except air intake and in very good low mileage mech condition. He said the MOT chap said it was worse on idle than mid revs? he's going to bring it round in the morning so I can plug the laptop in for a look. Any suggestions on what might be the cause before I take a look will be greatfully received :D

Don't know if anyone has any experience of these people but I think I'll be ordering a matrix from them soon (wet feet & car full of steam) as £47.91 + carriage seems like a good price..... http://www.aaronradiator.co.uk/products/Heater_Matrix_Nissan_300ZX_89_3_0_V6_6DN106-2981-371.html Phil

hi folks hope someone can help my car will not defrost blowers working but it just blows it into the cabin, the ambience reads -86 permanetly and it only blows warm or hot air no cold. i take it the latter is due to re-gasing but the others :cry:

Julia saw a grey 300zx in her work's car park this afternoon..... ........On lower Road, Stoke Mandeville, Aylesbury. She works in the Belmore Centre; next to Thrifty Rent a Car and Spray-tech car body repairs. Anyone here? Richard:)

Ok any advice from anyone in the know would be very gratefully recieved here. As you may know I have been goiun g through some electrical probs. I am stumpped because I know nothing about the function of this device. I have printed a schemetic and understand that but the following have me at a loss: all A.C.S.D. cancel relay? clutch switch? cancel switch? main switch? hold relay? All I require if poss is an explation of what this system acctually does. My problems are the speedo isnt working and the steering goes heavy and light when it feels like it and I can only think that it must be this system. Thanks for any help vini

Think im running bit rich.... bit of black smoke when revving on idle, also hesitation. Am i just in need of good engine management system or maybe fpr? using one of andyp's chips to get me started for now.. I doubt its oxygen sensors as they seem to be working fine b4 rebuild so im bit stuck :( What do you think? Its a bit of a shame as i was hoping it to run spot on straight out the garage but that never works.

Hi I have seen advertised turbocharger boots claimed to keep the temperatures down under the bonnet, anyone know anything about them and if they are any good for a Z consiidering how hot Z's seem to run? I have seen them advertised for skylines today, knew nothing about them beofre hand.

Just Had my renewal quote from Adrian Flux. It is 4 times what it was last year due to my altercation with a tree. It is also £300 more than the renewal quote for my Blue Zed "Now saddly Keano's" and that had every modification listed.

I'm gonna need a second battery for my sound system, I was wondering if anyone has a wiring diagram or a how to file on how to do it

Hi, after a lot of research on here and other sites and as a preliminary diagnosis, i reckon the main centre prop shaft bearing needs replacing. What would the total cost of replacing the bearing plus labour come to? I'll source the bearing myself say for £150 so how many hours labour etc? Cheers Adam

Hi all, I've found by reading through the forum that many many of you upgraded your springs to Eibach springs. I was thinking about doing the same but the feedback from the local distributer was that those were discontinued for my 93 TT. I found that odd since there are plenty of sites selling those in the US. So I contacted Eibach directly but they let me know exactly the same thing. Basically they told me that the european version was discontinued and they still produce the springs for the american version and they don't garantee those will fit my car. What you guys that have been on this path say? Thanks so much for your help. Best regards, V…

In my mission to create more things to fix I decided to change the head unit. Everything was working except for the rear speakers and sub yesterday (TV, DVD, bluetooth, ipod, radio and front speakers all fine) Today I decided to finish it off. Except I finished it off in a different way to which I was intending. Found the rear speakers in mine are aftermarket and are wired direct (not in ISO) so wired the first in, then checked it, it was fine. Wired in the second and there is now no sound. At all. disconnected some of the wires and there is still no sound. Have I broken the head unit by wiring in the rear left speaker?? Thanks, Mr Pink

im looking for a garage or mechanic who's familiar with 300zx's in the bmouth/poole area so i can grab some help diagnosing a judder problem? any help would be great cheers adam

hi chaps, its not steering wheel judder as the brakes are fine. i get a slight judder from the rear end when cruising but its intermittent which is quite confusing. Its most prominent in 4th at about 2000rpm and feels like im driving over very close together lines on the road. when i accelerate, it seems to disappear and seems to be linked to what rpm in what gear but i could be wrong... any help would be great although im not too worried atm - anything i should check? cheers adam

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5QKp4O6pfo The 300 is a true sleeper. I've done a lil of looking into this video and the race with the M3 raises questions. Apparently the 300 is running full throttle shift and also running RPS Carbon clutch and when the car drops back is apparently down to the clutch being cold and slipping. Others say he has missed a gear. the M3 is a Horse Power Freaks Stage 2 which is big HP not sure how much. The Porche is tunned by http://www.evoms.com/home.asp and pushing 700 hp. Impressive hey.

Hi, I have a 93 tt manual and I can see when I look into the car that the dashboard seems to have come away from the window area, I can see what looks like a yellowy type material. Probably what the db was made from i guess. Any help on fixing this would be appreciated.

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
