Hi all, Just wondered if anyone has fitted any of these before? They look like good quality...but we all know that doesnt always mean they are!!! Link to them is here ---> CLICK ME!!! Basicly just wondered if anyone had any info, good/bad experiences with them as i was thinkin of maybe purchassing a kit. Cheers in advance, Sean.

I was in Southampton yesterday to attend a funeral and whilst driving on the A335/Stoneham Way (just off J5/M27) at around 1pm I saw a yellow ZX pass by. The car had a high spoiler and "300ZX" in large black lettering across the rear centre panel. You wouldn't have seen me because I was driving my Jeep Grand Cherokee and turned off towards Bassets Green Village. Just wondering if it was anyone on here. Dan

Hi all, sorry about this one! I really can't find good info on this anywhere... I'm refitting the gearbox (manual) and ready to slip the smaller dust plate between gearbox and engine. I need to know how this plate should be oriented. Does the rubber 'seal' point towards the box or the engine?? My other question is does it fit on the gearbox side or the engine side of the larger dust plates (that sit behind the flywheel). My larger dust plates look as though they are deformed to allow the smaller plate to fit behind them (engine side) but this contradicts what I have read so far... Advice greatly appreciated. RobH

I'm in the process of upgrading my brakes and some of my front suspension on my 91 SWB N/A. When taking off the upper arms I noticed that both are (as the middle arm in the picture shows) cranked over. However I dug out a spare upper arm I had as part of some other 2nd hand stuff I bought and it was straight (Left arm in the picture). By twisting the Powertrix adjustable arm around it kind of lines up with the original arm (centre) but is this OK to use like this? I have done some searching on this and other 300ZX sites to little avail, I could be using incorrect terminology or I could just be being daft, either way some assistance/advice would be appreciated. O…

Just moved house and the car is bottoming out going up the drive so have adjusted the suspension up a bit... well all except for 1 strut!! :rant: The front passenger side seems to be stuck solid, I have tried pentrating oil, heat, big ass C spanner extension and nothing is moving it!! Anyone got any handy tricks before I lose my mind?? :headvswal

I have noticed a few problems. 1. Head lights: Only main beam comes on even when in low beam position the high beam is only on. 2. No speedo: Does not work at all. (could be related to 4.) 3. Stereo back up: Wont hold settings in memory. 4 Power steering goes heavy quite often: (already asked about this). 5 Turbo Timer: Not working. (Going to get a new item soon) 6. Air con: Only comes out hot. I have been told that the bloke who had it, from which I got it back had a flat battery and put the jump leads on the wrong way round? But he deny's this and has said that some wet got up behind the fuse panel and he had an electrician sort it ou…

We seen you at the bottom of alma rd at 4.30pm today, i was in my Z on the opposite side of rd:tongue:

I feel like a newbie again, so I'll act like one! I had a UK Twin Turbo a couple of years back and loved it, then power got to me and I sold it for a Mine's Tuned R32 GTR... well thats now sold and gone over to Sweden, so I thought I best find a nice manual 300zx TT to replace it with... :) After weeks of trawling through Pistonheads, eBay, this forum... I found one pop up - black import, manual, basic mods - and thought I best act quick. Picked it up on saturday and I'm well impressed with it. Goes better than the last one I had (down to the colour I hear :wack: ) and although it won't touch the GTR in the performance stakes, I think the Zs are far comfier and …

Just heading off up the A419 from the Turnpike roundabout at 4.30pm. There was a strange bloke on a mountain bike giving you a funny look as you pulled up to the lights - that was me lol

I took my new z tt to work today+ dawdling through 30mph traffic, it started to smell of petrol. Theres nowhere to pull in so, so i stopped ques of cars to check+ saw a 'wet' fuel line, i just kept tootling along with crossed fingers.bloody misery! In desperation, i called the aa from work, who duly came out + fixed it........but broke an injector wire at the same time :rant: So home on 5, 3 hours of fiddling+ headsratching,morepain+ misery. Then whooom.I've fixed her+ Its off on 6, burbling, spinning the wheels + making that glorious sound.:hyper: Funny how i instantly forgot the burnt arms, cut fingers, scratched wrists+ would do it all again tomorrow :shock:

can anyone help iam trying to wire up the netural switch on my manual conversion does anyone know what colour wires do this in the auto loom many thanks:smash:

Every time I do a job lately on my Z I seem to find more rust. (Its a UK 1990 TT). I have just been fitting an amp power lead through the bung in the front passanger side wheel arch and a hole had already rusted through at the bottom below the bung. When I took my spoiler off I found huge holes where the hatch had rusted away in the corners. The reason for this post is I have noticed a couple of na jap cars with damaged engines going for £500 - £600 lately, I am considering buying one of these with a good jap body and fitting my TT engine as I have sorted it out and it is running really well. How long would it take to convert a na to TT, would I need any special t…

there was a blue one just by my girlfirends had 19s scoop on front panel very nice car

Faulty Maf cause my z to missfire?

:D I've had my Z for 13 months now and in that time it hasn't missed a beat.... always starts instantly and purrs on tickover, A lot of my driving is town driving, so when I do open her up on duel carriage ways etc It always brings a smile to my face( Was behind a CLS AMG Mercedes over the weekend....I kept up with it to ?MPH... £80,000 car:tongue:) Two little niggles that came with the car... air con not working and a litle drip from the drivers targa, well managed to cure the little leak.I put some solution I have at work that swells the rubber blankets on a Litho press... and its seemed to have just swelled it enough and stopped the leak:hyper: Apart from the airc…

With my Profec B Spec II in "OFF" the MAX boost it displays is near 10PSI :eek: (well 9.9PSI to be exact) I understood that with the EBC OFF, MAX boost equates to saftey boost of 7PSI but not saftey "Mode" so the fuel and timing maps stay normal. What could cause this, is it possible I have bigger than stock tubs :confused: CheerZ Paul

As above at Billing Aquadrome on Sunday afternoon, randomly parked all on it's own......... poor thing :(

Are your zeds ready? Whats happening? Any updates from the pair of you:confused: Its been a long long time.

I have up graded my front door speakers, my boot speakers and have a couple of subs in the boot. Theres hardly any sound coming from the door speakers, is that just cause the rears are amp'd ? Have you guys put in an amp for the front door speakers? I'm currently just offsetting the speakers a bit but it doesn't sound right.

I'm hoping to fit my polished power steering pot today (weather permitting), and wondered if there is any "do & don't" advice available from you guy's before I take the pipes off, and cover everything in fluid :rolleyes: Any risk off air-locks etc.?? I've had a quick search on here, but can't find anything.. (twin turbo) THANKS!! :)

Can anyone tell me if the 02 sensors are the same on TT cars from 1990 onwards or do the change on later cars, also are the non turbo ones the same to?

remember me the snake well i got out of jail today so am back

Looking every inch the super car. Very tasty M reg wide arch. I drove by in my drift skyline and waved before turning off at the Caterham junction.
