Hi all A while ago there was a post about using a certain type of nut or vegetable oil on rubber to refresh it. Specifically the Targa roof seals. Can anyone remember ? Big Thanks in advance to anyone who can

Is it the same as the Z32? I know the PCD is. Just wondering if the centre bore is. 66mm I think? Ta

worth getting or stick to Oe? Not going to ever put the car on a track so is it worth getting after market links or stick with original equipment..your thoughts/recommendations please :confused:

I have just bought a non working rear panel, i thought it was just the inverter however, i replaced that today and it still doesnt work ?? could it be the el panel inside thats faulty ??? any advise is welcome

Ok today decided to fully fit the switches to the Indiglo dials and under the steering rack was a red and black wire which led to the top side of the unit which the ignition barrel sit on. Now the Black one was connected but the red one was not? When connected I could no longer get the key out even when pressing the release switch??? It only happens when the red wire is connected again. Is there a reason that it does not release my key lol.

Hi guys just a quick quiestion about fitting the one piece prop. Have to remove the heat shield to fit the new prop, will it fit back over the new prop or can I just bin it? Is it just to protect the centre bearing? or does it do something else? Darrell

My drivers door has just decided to start dropping. Has anyone else had this problem:headvswal Looks as if its a wing off job. Has anyone got any hints on this as its a heavy door to start playing with. I think it may have something to do with the shunt i received a few weeks ago. And the brakes have now decided to start squealing really loud. Ive looked and have pad wear left but think they may have become glazed also got leaky Targa seals aswell. Not bad for only having the car back since feb LOL:rant: Not giving up though!!!:)

I purchased my car with a pair of Blitz B.O.V`s fitted it the top on hard pipes, I have noticed that the orridional recircs are still fitted under the bumper, I was wondering.....why is this?? Can I remove them and bung the pipes or is there a reason why they`v been left??

i put a post up for a lend of a good fuel ressure regulator and he replied quite quickly and posted me an FRP free of charge to keep he has also been pming me with advice but i aint that clever and got lost in translation, top work, top bloke cheers paul, your a goodun Allan

Hi mate, I've seen your car on this forum and I recognised it on Kingsbury Road on Saturday... You wouldn't have noticed though, I wasn't in my 300ZX. Love the tailgate tub! Amar

Also wondering, would it be wise to lower the rear of the car with just the springs as I just want to alter the stance of the car? Your opinions will be most appreciated.

My white 92 UK 300, which I've had since 94, failed its MOT big-time. (It's done around 140k miles, I've done a 110 of that, as the second owner) The garage I took it to, are very experienced with 300s, having long history with Nissan, and Datsun before that. They've sold a bunch of 300s and always serviced my car, seemingly knowing them inside out, doing a good job. But they quoted £2,700 for welding alone saying the bottom of the car was rotten, and that a lot of metal needed replacing, and to do that they would have to pretty much remove the interior of the car. So with other stuff, could be talking much more than that. * So any thoughts/suggestion…

Is it possible to raise the suspension , even only about 5/10mm .........my car was on lowering springs when i got it and when i fitted 18"s on it there was hardly any room under the arches so i got a pair of standard springs, which have improved it a bit but everytime i hit a small bump or pot hole the tyres catch the arches + if any1 sitting in the back it rubs constantly...... :headvswal

I am going to get bolt-on spacers for the front of my car to kick the rims right out into the arches. Rears sit perfectly. I've found out that with a 25mm - 30mm drop on the front springs, I can actually get away with a +20 offset. Currently, front wheels are 45 on an 8.5J width. If I go for 20mm spacers, this should give me a +25mm offset? That right? Si

Pikey looking fella, had a case with what I could only assume was a crate of Breezers and some fake Luis Viton Hats. Was asking evryone for pills. Sent him away with some jelly beans. :tongue: see ya soon James

Getting to the point of giving up now :) Sounds like i'm getting a fluttering noise from around the top of the right hand side of the engine on tick over and low revs. Only really materialised since I have had the loom replaced. Wondered if is related or another problem rearing its ugly head. Also when giving the throttle a little tickle the left hand exhaust appears to be sucking alot of air in. Looks like the bottom of the rad is damaged also, seems to leak when it wants too. both pipes are brand new and have been checked so it's the only other thing I can think of. Any help appreciated as always! Dave.

Heading towards Wallsend. Just caught a sideways glance as you bombed past!!.

Hi all Since posting the symptoms of my auto box fault a few weeks back, I know know what is wrong. Basically it's fooked! I have no 2nd and o/d is questionable. Therefore I have 3 choices: A full rebuild (by an experienced chap who has been in the auto box business for 30 years and knows his stuff - plus he came highly recommended) for £1200. A manual conversion (I know - but no manual vs auto comments please) A second hand 'box (which may last 10 years or 10 minutes) Your opinions welcome please! Richard:)

Passed Rayners Lane station this evening at 20:30. Saw you zip into the road next to Subway and then back a few minutes later. I stared right at you when you turned off. I was the guy in a suite in the bus stop trying to memorise you're plate. Its wasn't you again GiantSlayer?????

anyone know where i can get some pictures or details or better yet anyone have a SMZ version zed 'Steve millen design' i think, please follow the link http://www.yugobernie.com/images/Misc/SMZ_specs.jpg

Hi all, I'm looking to UK register a Zed that's currently registered in the Isle of Man. It's a Jap one that had a previous UK reg before it went over. Just got the MOT (and i've got the IOM document that has its previous UK Reg) but does anyone know what else i need and what the proceedure is? Cheers all :)

On removal of the front wheels I have noticed (to my total dismay) My Impul shocks rubber gators are shagged. Past experiance suggests this is the end of their lives? So another job when the MOT is due.:headvswal

I jacked the car up today to undo the bottom bolts of the gearbox to remove the engine, anyway while it was up on the axle stands i noticed that the top of the front strut sticking out the side of the spring so i removed the suspension and it turns out they are Ohlins coilovers but the top has come away from the gas strut. Is there any way of repairing this as they seem quite new. I'll post a pic in a minute but it looks like the top had little ballbearings in the groove to hold it in place. Does this mean they are fecked? I hope not as its another expense i cannot afford to replace.:(

Hi folks, I'm looking to renew my insurance after 2 years off the road. Most of the companies mentioned on here seem to be dead ends for me 'can't quote you sir' or crazy money. I don't get it...my details are as follows: 38 years old 5 years NCB 1990 Jap TT manual Second vehicle, no more than 5K miles per year Value - virtually nil! Parked on private driveway. Cat 1 alarm/immob Mods: 550cc injectors AVC-r Exhaust Intake FMIC hybrid tubs NISTune programmable ECU daughterboard (chip) Nothing extreme by any means! If any of you have similar mods and reasonable insurance, I'd be most grateful if you could advise of the company …
