2016 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo - JDM (2016-07-31 21:09:38)

Anyone going to USC Santa Pod next weekend. I am :) Going to get a power rundone there too. http://www.ultimatestreetcar.co.uk/index.html

Hi Guys, Well its been a while but my beloved zed has been sleeping quietly in the garage underneath an indoor cover, but unbeknown to me has been rusting without me knowing, really annoyed. ( how its rusted in an indoor garage is puzzling me ) first sign is a fuel tank leak, so began the process of removing the rear tank, looking under the rear arch behind the bumper, it has rotted through, this has been repaired before but again has rotted through, does anyone have any pics or experience with repairing this section? looking under the zed it looks like I will be dropping the subframe and using a product called POR 15 http://www.frost.co.uk/se…

Came across these. "Out of stock" and no reviews so maybe they were never actually produced, but is there anything similar out there?

I need to replace all 4 speakers as some of them don't work and they are poor quality. I can see that the rear ones are 6x4 but not sure on the fronts as I've not removed the door card recently. Does anyone know what the stock front jdm speaker size is for a 91 model? Also, any recommendations on what I should replace them with. I'm not wanting to spend to much and don't really want to modify anything... Just a straight swap will be good:)

Does anybody know where i can find the nuts and bolts for when i fit my z1 FUCAs. Or part numbers or the specifications so i can fit new bolts please? Thanks

Hi ...could anybody kindly point me in the right direction on what is the correct rear boot lid decals / badges and where I can purchase these please ...kind regards Taz

Hi all. I have recently purchased a new aluminium radiator and fitted it. However it seams to hold a pressure when cold. I have taken off the overflow pipe to the expansion tank and blown down it but can not get any air to flow down it. My question is that is this pipe blocked thus not allowing pressure out? (or does it have a valve?) Should it be free flowing? Thanks Mike

Big thanks to Jim and his team at Powerzed. :yes::clap::biggrin: She's been with Jim to have a fair bit of corrosion repair - the sills, rear arches, metalwork underneath the rear bumper, front wings, front rad crossmember. Undersealing, cleaning up underneath, quite a bit of work! & quite a bit of paint work too, not much of the car left that didn't need paint, so it had a full respray! & a new windscreen. Twinz front bumper and rear diffuser fitted, front splitter and sill lips things to go on soon. Engines had a major service, cambelt etc, boost controler fitted etc, suspension parts, shocks, bigger discs and refurb caliper's fitted. Rest is …

going to upgrade my coilovers as the current set up is allowing the tyre to rub on the widened overarch when going over bumps and undulations in the road, ( body mech fitted them for me ). In fact currently I have a 2 " gap between the tyre and arch lip, so im wondering if I need coilovers with adjustable stroke length, anyone got any good ideas ??

Hi all. It's been a while, the z's been off the road for 2/3 years and unfortunately the sill return panel is rotten! I've ordered a new one from zcentre, anyone know any good welders in Hertfordshire/London ? Cheers Ant

My nicely re-trimmed OEM steering wheel arrived today - and wow!! What a great job - thank you Simon; you're a wizard on that sewing machine mate:thumbup::bow: Richard:cool:

Hi ...apologies for the last thread ...OK..I will subscribe straight after this promise ...... I would like to mimic as close as is possible the rear boxes and dual tailpipes on each side for my UK spec 300zx .....I would like to know the diameter and the length of the exhaust tips themselves along with where they sit in relation to say the rear bumper if you was to have a square line down to the floor from the back of the bumper if that makes sense ? MAybe if someone has the time a couple of close up pics from the side and the rear showing how they sit in relation the the scollop on each side ...I would gladly ping someone a tenner via PayPal for their time ...apologies …

Can anyone advise where I can find a Co2 sensor for my 1990 300zx NA? I need two - thanks!

I'm just curious really. I've been changing several suspension bits on the car lately and I noticed the springs on these don't seem to have held up too well so wondered what others are like:

Amateur mistake and not marked where I got these bits from! Been so long that I can't figure out one of the pieces. Fitted driftworks polybushes, hence the large 3mm metal washer (which I assume goes on the bottom side of the bush). From the diagrams I have and memory, I know where the member stay goes, so from the bottom I have the nut > member stay > washer > bush/subframe. My question is, what the hell is this other thing I've refurbished? I'm sure I took it off here.. I've tried fiddling but can't figure out where it's used. It doesn't fit nicely between the member stay and the washer/bush, but has circlular mark the perfect size of the nu…

Tonight 9pm! Was that a Red 300ZX convertible in the opening scene of Along Came a Spider? Art

A nice read on the 300zx that was posted in Feb 2016. http://picks.getpatina.com/2016/02/nissan-300zx-almost-exotic-sportscar/

I drove home from Coventry so fast the speedo was off the clock......:lol::lol: Sadly its stuck there and isnt working now.:thumbdown: Doh. I hate taking clusters out and sodding about

I spotted this Zed on Friday 22 July at roughly 18:20. This was somewhere between junction 13 and 12 of the M4 heading towards Reading. I didn’t get a very good look at the car as I was too busy trying to find my phone to take a picture. One thing that did stand out was the red glow from the 300ZX logo.

I had the car up on axle stands all afternoon yesterday after an unsuccessful investigation into the knocking on my Z31. It occurs when driving over rough terrain, thankfully I live in Gloucestershire, so lots of shitty roads to test out. A mechanic who I have known for some time, took it for a drive on Friday and heard the knocking. He said it certainly sounded like suspension. Unfortunately, up in the air, he couldn’t find anything. His ramps simulate some movement, he can rock the car side to side a little turn the wheels etc. Nothing seemed out of place or loose. Back to my investigations…I raised the car and tried to move anything that was a joint. The entire…

Hi ...I own a UK 300ZX with non stock wheels and non standard exhaust system ...my questions are ..what size are the UK standard wheels and are they staggered front and back ? what tires sizes should they have front and back ? and lastly where is the best place to buy a standard/stock UK spec Exhaust system ? ...Kind regards Taz ( Newbie ) taz@zonexhibitions.co.uk
