General Discussions - 300ZX Related

I have only tried the drivers side so far but I have managed to get all of the nuts/bolts off besides one (Front lower nut (14mm)) which has rounded off, I have been using plusgas and a breaker bar but now my sockets are just spinning round on it :headvswal I'm going to try with heat tomorrow, but does anyone else have any other ideas?

some bloody little chave has nicked all my dust caps from my wheels :rant::rant::rant:

If you'll excuse my ignorance, here - I don't know cars (don't even drive, sadly...). I'm trying to do a favour for my old man who wants a valuation on his ZX300. I figured you chaps would be well-placed to maybe help and give us an idea? It'd be much appreciated. I'd have to speak to him for more details, if this isn't enough... Here's what I currently know... It's a 1992, 2 seater, 3 litre ZX300 in silver with a straight V6 engine. It was imported to Ireland in 1998 from Japan (of all places!). It's in very good condition and has had some modifications (not sure what, though...). Anything would be a bonus. Cheers, look forward to your replies...! …

is it possible to remove the heads with engine in the car?so far I have spent hours just getting all the hoses off but can't see how to get to the exhaust manifold or turbo flange,will the engine come out with the a/t attached without a pit? or is it easier to split the engine from the box?.I will be grateful for any help.

Where is the best place to buy new Oe knob

just about to go to yeovil in somerset so iv got to be nice to the zed so she doesnt play up! the pc has been ripped out atm so iv just gashed in an old head unit which is powering 1 tweeter, the #2 coilpack connector and the left hand folding mirror... pretty good these kenwood things. stay in your homes... chriZtine is about to cause chaos!

Here you go...looks a lot better, i think you would agree :nana2:

On the z center site there is a choice of two: E.S. or Whiteline Which ones to go for? Any anyone got any hints on fitting them? cheers

Hi im scott from Plymouth I have not got a 300zx just yet should be gettin one in a few weeks as my girlfriend is having a baby in few weeks so got to wait, i hope to get one soon and meet up with some of you and join in club events. And sorry if thread in wrong area? scott

Hi every one, ive just joined the club, let me say, it's nice to own z tt manual again, except this time she is a mint example, if anyone has any spare roof pockets and straps to hold the roof's down and is going to Japfest, please let me know, also, how do I go about putting my z with all the others at Japfest, do you get a discount for being with the club?

Went out for a curry wed night and had been looking forward to it for weeks. Made sure nothing would mess up the night and everything was set. Went to start the Z at about 7.30 to leave and the starter motor grinds and drops onto the floor! F&%K ! Ended up getting mate to pick me up! Bolted starter back on the following morning and all is well, saved me some fuel I guess lol.

Just spotted this for sale, not that cheap but what a beast ;) running a full jun engine and apexi rx6 twin turbos which at the moment at 1.5 bar is running 700 bhp :nana2: I'm trying to find out if he will do it for a buy it now price as its not hit its reserve as yet but at the moment its about £9k over here :) but all depends on the reserve.

Seen you yesterday (1st May) in Staple hill earier in a F plate

hi eric long time since i mailed you, its me the AEM PEST again, now the zeds back on the road meanwhile am building my spare engine, just ordered the mike smith manifolds yesterday, any to cut the crap, have you got a cal file for a dynoed zed running 555cc inj with stock tubs boosting about 16 psi ideally or a map near that so i can look at the fuel map and ign timing maps and other parameters to compare to mine, or do you have a list off the correct settings/parameters for the zed that replicate as good a driveability as the stock ecu cheers :x: rich

I have a blitz controler on my new toy and was wondering if anyone has the ideal settings for one?. My car is chipped has bigger intercoolers a free flow air filter and should be [ acording to the nice men at Z-world ] about 360 to 370 bhp.

why is it that cold weather seems to bring out so many problems with the z's i had idling probs when the weather was cold but now the warmer weather is here it runs like a dream even the gearbox has stopped clunking:(

Hello all, I am going to be doing a lot of work on the Zed over the next few months now that I can get her off the road (I now have an LPG Astra aswell), I will be putting her in a garage for the next few months. I want to do some stuff to make her run like new like replacing boost hoses and rad pipes but what else should I be doing. The rest of the hoses are quite solid should I look at replacing all of them? What else should I be doing at this stage in her life? She is a 1991, Twin Turbo, Manual, UK Spec. No engine enhancements and stock exhaust, gearbox and everything else. I am not sure how much money I will have but what I do have is time a…

my car has been off the road for a couple of months, nothing wrong just trying to save on a bit of tax. taxed it this morning, went to start it it was all chuggy, noticed the petrol light on, got a can went to the garage got petrol put it in, my son happened to be lying on the ground beside the car(putting a front splitter on his new r32gtr) when you guessed it the tank is pissin out petrol near one of the support straps, its a uk so a couple of questions,is a swb tank the same, is it a poxy job to do, or is a temperory repair job possible all this with a meet on sun and me going to z008 next week, im f..king depressed

you wash ya car and give it a good polish and fall right back in love, i realy hate the way my car is running and have started to resent the fooker, but after a good bit of spit and polish i like it again still running shite though lol

My zorsts are black as fook and I aint cleaned them since I've had them (as some may have noticed in some of my pictures) :nelson: They are 4x6 oval stainless steel. I was wondering what other people use to clean theirs. I'm gonna clean the oval tips and some of the rear silencer and was also wondering if others clean the inside of the tail pipes and what do you use ? CheerZ Paul.

the indicators on the passenger side all work BUT are flashing really fast!:confused: WHATS WRONG?:( dan.:(

Spotted at a c2club.co.uk meet :D !!!!

Silver Zed Cheney Manor, Swindon, 9.45am today.

Theres lots of setup info for the greddy boost controllers but not much for the blitz. I have an SBC-I Colour boost controller and starting to ask around about settings and getting conflicting opinions. It has 4 pre-sets and an off and i'm just using one of the settings. I'm boosting a steady 0.86 bar with my SET at 47 and GAIN at 25. Is this incorrect GAIN? The way i understood it was you set the SET at increments of 10 until you reach the desired boost and then set the GAIN at increments of 5 untill you start getting spikes, then fine tune them both so its smooth? see here http://www.splparts.com/doc/SBC-iD.htm Silver Bullet pm'd me his settings ye…
