Think its the same car on rochford road.

Bright red with a private plate reading "Ste" around lunch-time today, (7th June).

Just about to take the Zed for its MOT, should have been done at the beginning of April but I forgot :x::nono: Wish me luck! (I am quietly confident though...):wack:

I'm so jazzed up! Just sorting out the final details for my summer trip to the US. I planned it around a large annual Zfest. This year it's taking place in Tulsa (Oklahoma). Booked my flights to the US and my internal flights too. I speak to a lot of the guys over on 3ZC (our American chapter). Some I've already met on previous trips out to L.A and San Diego. http://www.midwestzfest.com http://www.midwestzfest.com/events.html There's loads going on and there are set to be cars/owners from across the midwest, and Southwest corner of the US and further afield. Not just that, but I'm flying to San Antonio in Texas to do a roadtrip convoy with some guys fr…

I know its not exactly help and advice but it would be helpful if the tax was lower. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Lowerduty30/

found these under the front of my NA :hyper: anyone know what ones they are?

I have 3 knackered studs, 2 on the front and 1 rear. Need these fixed asap for the MOT so I guess it's a trip to the Nissan dealer for them. I have an import though, so how accommodating will they be? I know other Japanese manufacturers whose dealers will as good as throw you out onto the street at the first mention of import. So, I'm hoping if I can just give them the part number I want and bypass the whole VIN number ordeal. I'm hoping that somebody here can tell me the part numbers that I need.. please :)

Hi guys, only joined this forum today, so forgive me if I've missed a sticky or something on this... I've got my engine out, again, knackered piston (It's a 93 TT, Auto, Jap import BTW) and was wondering if there are any tips for removing the torque converter? Is it really those 4 bolts on the back of the fly wheel? They seem pretty much impossible to get to with a standard spanner or even an angled ring spanner. Is there any easy way to do this? At the moment I've got it sitting on blocks, and taking the cylinder head off today, she fell off, if it wasn't for me and my Dad's lightning reflexes and adrenaline fueled strength, serious damage could've been done! So I'm…

I need to have my ingine out and have a turbo replace because my left bank turbo oil seal has gone so been advised whilst engine is out might ads well replace both turbos at same time. But now im thinking shall i sell ingine and other bits because all good and replace with a v8. anyone done this and are there many problems to overcome?:rolleyes:

My UK Z continues to rust at the rear arches, even after having a full respray and numerous repairs including new metal welded in places. One idea i had is to fit a wide arch kit and zenon rear bumper (zcentre) to my Z as to cover the rust up, I know its not the best way to do things but if the rust is only on the outer arch its not particularly important to have it mint (correct???) As it only looks bad do you think i would get away with covering it with a kit, or would the bubbling paint interfere with the fitting of the kit? Cheers guys

As the title says also how do I check the speed sensor bearing in mind there is no response from the a/t ecu when on consul. I changed the a/t ecu but with no difference. Any advice??

anyone interested in some upgrade conrods. do you think this guy is going to sell these :shock::rofl: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300ZX-Con-Rods-Uprated-Eagle_W0QQitemZ230259266636QQihZ013QQcategoryZ72205QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

My strosek Z is going to the bodyshop very soon and i need to decide what to do rear spoiler wise. I have removed the old foam spoiler and quite fancy a 99 spec one but cant decide if it will suit the wide arches? Other options i can think of are lower tailgate skin from z centre. Perspex strip with brake light Both of these would mean no spoiler. Looking for some inspiration!

Im trying to figure out what electrical problems I could have with my A/T, what code should I have on the A/T ecu sticker? Its a 1989/1990 jap import. If its not the ecu, what other problems would cause the A/T to only select 1st and 2nd 70% of the time. If I pull off in 2nd gear it will move up a gear but if I pull of in normal mode ie 1st gear it will change up to 2nd but not 3rd?? Any help would be very much appreciated.

I bought a set of Apexi Twin Chamber Blow Off Valves from someone on here a while ago. I've only just got round to fitting them. I found this fitting instructions: http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/tech/bov/bov.html But it says that you need to block off one of the pipes. It states that the plugs should have been supplied with the valves but when i bought them, i never got any plugs. Does anyone know where i can get a set? :headvswal:headvswal

I need to adjust my timing and wondered if anyone had a timing gun i could use?? I'm in Ealing west London so could come to anyone in reasonable distance??

Is that Normal. Is it the Mitsubishi Electrics company rather than an incorrect component from a GTO or something???

Just Found a site that does these but I have never driven with them before so was just wondering if any has these fitted and if decreases handling?? Iv been thinking about it for a while now to help with them stupid bastid good-for-nothin speed bumps!! http://airbagit.com/product_info.php?cPath=227_264&products_id=3731

Well i have now had the pleasure of driving both TT's & NA's as an owner and can honestly say the NA is bloody great as well :hyper:....different in the way it pulls you about but i really like it...it still shoves you back in your seat and gives a really involved driving experience...i'm pleasently surprised so any TT owners on here thinking NA's are the poor brother of the TT you better go drive one :)

buying a import 300zx this weekend, plan on increasing the boost a little. Asume they run 10PSI standard?? can the standard fuel pump handle say 14PSI?? my S13 needed a walbro, as the standard one cudnt provide enuff juice on demand (feel car holding back) also is the ECU have fuel cut? (its a Jap car, converted to MPH)

I have an 1993 L reg jap 300zx tt manual, the rear seat belts are just lap belts and the front belts are attached to the doors, my old car which was a 1992 uk tt manual and the front seat belts were on the pillars and had 3 point belts in the rear, is my car older than what it says on the logbook, if so what year?

anyone out there know the required mods to run the following chips properly, also what bhp each chip is capable of 1 devin 555 2 z32.555 3 zahra.007
