Hi all. Can anyone tell me the alloy wheel fitment stats for the zed? cheers

:confused:Changed the Air Reg and IAA today.Started up first time.went to take IAA plug off ,Engine stopped and now won't start.Turns over ok but no start.Unfortunately someone has at some time replaced both plugs to the IAA and botched the plugs to fit,consequently both plugs are interchangable'so now I dont know which plug goes where .Can some one please tell me the colour of both wires going to the upper plug on the IAA valve:confused: Also should the car start with the plug off ???? chaZ

Many thanks for a great deal mate. The wheels fited on just fine although the front need 5mm spacers but I already had some so they are on and the ride is good. Heres them fitted. Top bloke nice to meet you mate see you at JAE. vini

Cheers for the heads bud, I am hoping they will come in handy soon ;)

when i signed in msn top 50 cars showed up and looked through and there was yewchecks car ! :)

Renewed with fluxs again this year but i have just received a letter stating because of the current market we can only value the car at £5000:headvswal [last year 7500] We all know these cars are not worth as much as we would like, but i could not replace my car for 5k:slap:

My temp reading on my air con is reading wrong. Its always in the 30's. I know there is suppose to be a small box behind the bumper that reads the oncoming air temp but i cant find fook all. It has happend since the recent engine change. It must be hiding somwhere. Has anyone a picture or reference of this mystical box;)

i seen a feww pictures of the 240/260z (im sure there is a diffrence) and i want one, so i thought with the price of 300's i would be able to pick one up for a couple of grand, how wrong i was, i cant seen to find one for any less than about 15k, am i looking in the wrong place or is this the going rate for these cars and if so why????

I am thinking of making a box to fit in the back (boot) of my SWB. But I am thinking of making it so it fits the same shape as the boot floor, with a deeper section fitting into the spare wheel well. For example the same shape as the carpet. I want to keep enough room for my tagra panels. But I am not sure it will sound OK or not as it will only be perhaps four inches deep, but deeper into the spare wheel well. Ideas,thoughts? I have a 10" driver.

Red uk spec in fleet high street last night K300***

Just wanted to say a massive thankyou to Mike at MJP. My Alternator belt broke yesterday so of course the first person i think of is Mike. I phoned this morning (Sunday!!!) with my fingers crossed that he would be there, and he was. Amazing!! :bow: Mark

Just wanted to say it was great to see some old faces and very nice to meet some new people. Thanks most of all to Mark for organising such a top day out. I very much enjoyed myself. Can't wait until I'm running a real chip :) **edit** Forgot to add... Don't forget to post your results in the dyno section of the forum.

Strange one, When I have it on screen demist i can get hot or cold air out of the top vents. If i put on to air con i get cold air out the top vents and hot air out the bottom. If I turn them both off I still get hot air out the bottom. This has only happened since having the heater matrix done so could it be that a cable has not been plugged in or is it more likely to be a valve stuck somewhere? Darrell

Where should I buy one? If ebay then has anyone dealt with oneone good who they'd recommend?

Very nice it was too. Thanks Dave :dance: :duffer: Your dog is huge lol. Hope he enjoyed his/her swim.

Without spilling out too much you were at the first house on the left when entering the villages just before the church.

I've just bought a set of Tomie Adjustable cam gears and after opening the box realised that they look totally different to stock e.g. where is the VTC??? After googling Adjustable cam gears ditch the VTC. My inistial throught ditching the VTC would result in a slower Zed? but correct me if i'm wrong, does VTC just advance and delay the timing? but with adjustable cam gears i could have the VTC timing on all the time? as i would advance or delay the cam gear so it was fixed? If that is the case then why do we have VTC and why don't cars run with the VTC timing all the time? Or have i completely got the wrong end of the stick altogether? Can s…

It's started all over again.......the first box went and i had an uprated one put on then engine went so put another one in. To add insult to injury the auto box is fookin up again. I dont rag it but just suffer bad luck. Whats happening is all forward gears are good, just that when i sometimes put it into reverse the car feels like the brakes are on. It drags bad.:cry: Also when this has happend i put it in neutral and the car creeps forward. Is there any relation with reverse and neutral. Ive self diagnosed but results were good so clutchs or solinoid on way out i think:cry::cry::cry: And im in Holland again ffs!!!!

My car already came with an aftermarket steering wheel, so unsure as to what was removed to fit it. The reason I ask is that I am trying to re-connect all the cruise control stuff. Now I've discounted fitting the 94+ cruise control paddle and I'm going to mount the buttons from the series 1 somewhere. The problem is, I have no idea what any of the wiring looks like for the cruise control. I don't know what the wiring is like at the back of the stock steering wheel, nor do I know how it fits to the slip ring. I took off the cowling earlier and couldn't identify any CC stuff.

Taken from pistonheads. :D http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=18275 RUMOURMILL: V8 FOR NEXT NISSAN Z?

Hi there from Austria, I´ve seen a video with a z, drifting around a person (was a show), and the car ran into the limiter around 20 sec without stopping. Does it just sound like damage, or can the engine be injured from that? GreetingZ, Patrick

Just browsing AutoTrader and found this...... http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/NISSAN+300+ZX/Ne-2-4-5-6-7-8-27-44-49-53-61-64-67-103-133-146-236,N-4294966218-4294967243/advert.action?R=200826312998747&distance=82&postcode=TS10+4NR&channel=CARS&make=NISSAN&model=300+ZX&min_pr=&max_pr=&max_mileage=

Here is a few pictures and detail on my new toy. Only cost about £80 but is a lot of fun!! Oh, the braided fittings were another £30 or so plus an LED from Maplins and a bit of wire. Bolted it straight onto the inside of the off side wing and plumbed it straight into the brake servo and the chasis. The switch has gone from the gear lever, to steering wheel and ended up rather neatly on the indicator stalk. The LED waring light from maplins is slap bang in the middle of the instrument pod and shines nice and bright in your face when you engage the line lock. Lots of smoke and nice warm tyres and away we go!!!!!! Andy

... a "How To" guide for changing over Down pipes and Decats??? If not, im going to changing mine over in the couple of weeks or so, and i can create a "how to" guide if anyone thinks its a good idea. Tried searching here and TT.net and i havent managed to find anything, and it might be usefull to some people who would like to get a bit more hands on with their zed. Nick
