Hi guys and gals ...Does anyone know where i can get a new center prop bearing from and roughly how much they are? Its a 1992 manual tt. Any help will be great!

As above. My sister and brother saw a standard silver zed on southport coastal road today at about 12.30. Was it you?

Are these what you need mate. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=42120&stc=1&d=1211725638[img\]

hi all took the zx our for a spin this morning i was puzzled to find i had no heating suddenly then after i felt down the drivers footwell behind the centre consul its a little wet any ideas what this is? i think its the matrix if it is anyone know where i can get one and how much?

I've emailed an alloy repair centre in Carnwath (Scotland) to see if they can repair 2 alloys for the Zed. Here's a pic of one, the others the same but still has the tyre on. What do you think.

Hey all Iv'e been wondering about this for a bit now. My exhaust has a section in the middle which joins the two pipes and then separates into two exits again?? I've not seen this anywhere else should I get a section for the middle that keeps the exits separate? or is this ok? Appreciate any thoughts Cheers

when on the line graph mode, what's the difference between the two lines - the thin one and the thick one? (and please dont say thickness! :p )

Spent the weekend doing some upgrades on the Zeds. First off I redid the roof mouldings from this to this using this, (thanks to Greavous on the US site) The I did some soldering and made the clear rear side lenses into indicators using these At least now they are functional Tony:cool:

Right to cut a long story short i sent my dittery old man to get the two front tension arm bushes pressed out at my local nissan dealer who previously dealt with rover ( i used to own a rover coupe vvc prior to the zx and found them very reasonable for parts etc) anyway he phoned me and said it maybe tomorrow before he can do them but he would phone when done Fine i thought Then 1/2 an hour later i get a phone call saying they are done and i have a bill of £ 65 plus vat Am i paying dealer prices or should i go and give my frail dittery old man a slap for being so gullable:rofl:

:cry::cry::cry: i just sold my car http://s45.photobucket.com/albums/f82/BOYnexDOOR/?action=view&current=69007729.pbw im gutted:cry::cry::cry: maybe its time to look for a manwell now then :D:D:D

since i come back from Z008 i've had a sort of rattling/slapping noise coming from the front of the car, once its warmed up its fine and has dissappeared and it also goes when i accellerate, i've checked the new belts for fraying just incase 1 of them has tethered and they are fine, any suggestions of what to look for would be great, i'd usually ask andy duff but its his weekend off :rofl:

can anybody tell me where the how to for this is cos i can't seem to find it cheers pete:cry:

Nice looking Red one between Bognor and Chichester last night... looking good!

What would be the perfect Optima battery to fit on a Z32 96 model? I only have a Gemini alarm connected 12v but after a while as I mentioned b4 and not driving it it kills the battery some folks tell me to get a Varta 80 AHM, and this guyw a stelling me to get an Optima and I would have the best battery in the market..but wich one would be suitable for a 300ZX??? Happy weekend folks:dance:

just a thought.. if some1 stole your car right now... would you be more upset that its been stolen or that they are ragging the pants off it with 264 miles to go before its run in? :rofl: i hope your getting some hardcore low down grunts going on and a nice variation of loads, rpms... rag it... time is running out... RAG IT!! :D:smw:

anyone knows what is the difference ?

just wondering where the best place to get alloys on the net is? thats my car almost ready to pick up from the bodyshop after its repairs and respray not sure if i should either get my alloys repaired or get a new set as i need 2 new tyres anyway. also anyone got a rough idea on a price to repair my old alloys just the usual scuffs and scrapes on them nothing major.

sorry for all the new threads on painting etc and yes i know im the spam king but i still need a little help too now and again:( just want some advice on painting the plenum and making it look nice and glossy although im not very fussy. Was thinking of giving it a rough sand then painting with a cherry red hammerite paint but will it have a nice shine to it? could i use a laquor to finish it off? Thanks. p.s Its a diy so powder coating os out the question.

heres a pretty cool video-camera mount i picked up from the U.S,it does a great job on cruises (pix are on a U.S zed)

If you are, can do me a favour and pick up a plenum that Duff owes me please?

Today at about 3ish on Sandgate seafront by the ice cream hut. I was walking along seafront with the missus, was gonna have come over for a chat but the missus said If I walked off and left her she would extract my testi's via my mouth so thought better off it.:D

Hi There My name is Chris and I am the proud owner of a UK TT, she has been in the family for many years and has come to me now! Anyhow currently she is needing some work to pass MOT, Mainly new sills at the back, some suspension work. However I have a problem, every specialist garage that I knew in Essex has closed! Does anyone know of any garages within Essex/South east! Many thanks Chris

Well have decided to change the Gear box oil on my 91 NA jap spec, now I have read that it has no drain plug so have to take the whole underside off and will aloow me to check the filter also and replace if need be, I am doing this because I checked the transmission fluid today and its more of a pinky orange and had some dirt on the dip stick as to being red......... Now the question is I dont want to go pouring the most expensive stuff in so what it my best bet? and what capacity am I looking at as I red 11 litres somewhere then 9 and finally 4-5 on a usa site so am a little bit confused :S Any advice would be great :D Cheers Paul
