Mornin peeps.. Since I had the center console out yesterday fixing the headlight problem I decided to run the cables for a sound system. However we still can't find a suitable place to run the power cable through the bulk head! Where have you lot run your cables? (Pics would be nice if you have any) I'm gonna take the battery out this morning and see if there's anywhere behind there that I can get to.. Thanks! Tony

I'm not the one with a problem this time :) I met some1 at the petrol station the other day, he's just bought a 300zx too, and half hour after buying it he lost reverse.. he asked me to put a quick post on here if I didn't mind.. Is this a common problem in these? Is there a solenoid that allows you to select reverse (to stop you jamming it in reverse while going at speed, maybe?) he can't physically select reverse. Or is this a linkage / gearbox problem? Thanks for any ideas Tony

I understand that it can be difficult to obtain discounts when ordering parts from the USA. What if we planned a club super-order say eight months in advance - for example, if one person wanted a pair of new turbos, someone else JDM 99 spec lights etc and built up a lot of business to ask the three or four main US dealers how much they would be prepared to do the order for? Shipping costs would also be saved and with the Zed Id be surprised if everyone didnt need SOMETHING within the next eight months? If we put it to our American cousins and still no discount etc could be negotiated then everyone could just go about getting their parts in the normal way wi…

hi all how to you put a picture in a thread every time you post a new thread? cheers, alan.

I've just placed a fairly big order with Z1 but they claim that they can't mark the value down for customs if I pay by credit card. They could only do so if I pay by wire transfer. Does this follow anyone else's experience or are they just trying it on? CheerZ Steve :)

Should be a great meet even if your not on the rollers. Check out the S.E Section !!!! :dance::dance::dance::dance:

hi people does anyone have 1 of these little puppies???? or, does anyone know where i can get 1 from??? nissan dealer say 28 day lead time!!! am going to the nurburgring next weekend and want to fill the little space in the front indicators (even if they do not work) cheers, alan.

Does anyone know for certain if the TT alternator is the same as the NA ? I have found some used ones advertised but they say that they are TT only ? Appreciate any advice. My bearings are on the way out:mad: Thanks Guys.

Been on the phone with Chris at ZTech and he has given me a few options, which are as follows. Cheapest option is to go with the 360 thrust bearings or go with the hybrid internals, which is a bit more expensive, or, which i'm really thinking about is, upgrading to the jwt530bb turbos with 5 bolt downpipes and 555 injectors, the thing is, I no someone who is selling the 530 tubs, 555 injectors and the downpipes for £2000 and they've only done around 600 miles, Chris said he would do the work and charge around £1400 labour which includes a service and tests to the engine and a general check of the car. What would you guys and girls suggest, bearing in mind I use …

i just got back off hols, and only saw this one, only got a brief glimpes of it i think it was blue with a high level spoiler, was on the ramps in a garage between ochos rios and runaway bay

Got it done for £55 by a mobile guy half an hour later so fook em:tongue: Thanks guys Maz. By the way ,subscribed the other day so dont feel guilty asking for help anymore :dance:

I am gonna be making a large system en closer in the z. I usually use 19mm MDF but I am trying to keep the weight down as much as possible. I was thinking about fibreglass but dont know whether it compromises the sound quality? Any other ideas??

Hello good people of 300ZX.co.uk I used to be a member many moons ago, but sadly had to sell my beloved NA SWB due to it costing way too much in insurance and fuel :cry: Thankfully, I may well be back in the market for another. I currently have a 200SX S13 which I have ploughed a few grand in (engine rebuild, new turbo, FMIC and some other choice mods), but they guy I bought it off now wants to buy it back :D Sooo, after a good hard think, if he does indeed buy it back, I'll be on the lookout for a manual NA. I'm trying to keep costs down, hence NA and not TT. Ideally I'd go for a manual NA SWB, but they seem to be so damn rare I haven't found one for sa…

hi im looking at buying a 1989 300ZX Z32 non turbo for about $4000 AUD the dealer says "has noise in water pump area" and all up probably cost $1000 to mend. A mechanic friend of mine said i would need a new water pump and a new timing belt probably. So anyway i come here to ask you guys, are there any common issues with these cars that i should be looking out for when i take it for a test drive ? Regards Tom

Help - I desperately need a garage to fit new turbo's to my car - its been off the road for 3 months + !!!!!! :headvswal Can anyone recommend a good garage in Yorkshire? or just somewhere reputable - cant drive the car so need to get it transported Really need this doing - tired of just seeing it sat on the drive :cry:

Hi there - I'm new to the board, but have been meaning to sign up since i bought my 300zx :) I bought it about a month ago, everythings been fine until today , I was on my way home , went to turn my lights on, and all I have is full beam. No sidelights, No main beam, just full beam, even when full beam is switched off, its still on, but nothing else (when main beam is on, full beam is on) I also have no rear lights, even when full beam is on. indicators, horn, interior light, ect all work, however dash lights do not work either. Thanks in advance for any help Tony
