Hi all, I have 18" alloys on my zx with 245 40 18" tyres and after getting a slow puncture on front nearside tyre I found a large rip on inside of that tyre. It must have touched some part of the suspension and I would like to know is 245 wide tyres to wide and would 225 be better for front tyres.

THIS IS NOT A FOR SALE THREAD YET What a dilemma!! In the last 24hrs, I have been offered a 'buy back' into a small business I was part owner of (70's-90's Classic Porsche Spares). I sold my share last year when turnover started falling suddenly.. Business is back on the up :dance: BUT.. it will mean having to release the money sat in my zed :cry: It's a good opportunitiy, and something I enjoyed doing.. Driving all over the country buying up all the old unwanted/unloved/broken down Porsches, and taking them apart :D Next dilemma is, if I do sell my zed, do I sell it 'as is', almost as I bought it back off spongey last year http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/sho…

...I know this has been covered, but I'm trying to work out which bungs I need to remove in order to run a powercable up to the battery. Now, take off the lower part of the arch liner and there's a grey bung at the bottom. I popped this off and sure enough, it does go someway into the bulkhead...but to where? I took up the carpet and took off the ECU kick plate, shone a torch through from the outside to see if I could see where it went....darkeness. Am I going in through the right place? Or is there another bung elsewhere? Cheers

Hi, Hopefully i'm picking up my second 300 later this week. I'll be taking my laptop with datascan to check for any logged faults but wondered if there is anything else (levels, parameters, voltages, etc) i should check whilst it's hooked up.

Can a worn/loose viscous fan/assembly cause water pump bearings to collapse? opinions needed thanks in advance

Hi, Just wondered does anyone have any sort of idea what warranty I should expect for a bare metal paint job with regards to rust? Basically my car has sat there with no paint, it's finally being sorted but I want some sort of warranty for rust. Vijay

Hi This started happening today. When cruising and have my foot on the accelerator lightly the car judders like it’s struggling. Only seems to happen at 2-3 k rpm. When using the accelerator aggressively or keeping power on it’s fine and boosts normally. Also if I take my foot completely off the accelerator its fine. It just seems to be when having it lightly pressed to keep speed constant and at about 2-3 k rpm. What could it be? Car is not misfiring under normal tick over etc and no fault codes. Cheers Paul

Hi guys woundering if someone can help, my car was working and running fine parked it up for the winter, in winter months after christmas it gor broken into, wiring was lying everywhere, had a friend an auto spark look at it wiring was hard to trace considering someone had put loads extra on Main wiring has been completed but still not starting starter does not activate.. Has anyone got pics of the wiring or anything that i could go by???? There is an issue maybe with the alarm immobiliser might just take it out and try again.. another question should the fuel pump always come on and stay on everytime you start the car?????

Is it possible to start the engine without the underdrive pulley or any of the belts in place ?. The cambelt is obviously in place but with no underdrive pulley to power the PAS, water pump fan and AC, Can you start the engine briefly without any problems even if you don't connect the pulley itself let alone the belts ?

:o Hi guys - I'm after a new battery and popped to Halfords at the weekend and was shocked to find that a new battery cost £92! :bow:Is this unreasonable or am I just out of touch with the cost of batteries? Any idea where I could get a cheaper one from? Cheers ;)

Hi again everyone, Does anyone know what I can check to find out why my Zed is cutting out under acceleration? And by cutting out I mean it feels like I'm stamping on the brake... I recently put a splash guard back in as I thought water was getting onto the MAF (a previous owner had removed it for some reason) and things have been considerably better. However, after leaving the car for a few days while I went away, it's playing up again today. It's damp, but certainly not wet today, so I don't think it's water on the MAF. Can it be a damp/furry connector somewhere? If so, where should I be looking? Could it be a boost leak? If so, how the hell do I check? …

On my way to work a black 300zx went past me by the M4/M5 Juntion Heading into Wales. Had a single exit exhaust.

Everytime my Zed hits a speed hump there is a knock that comes from the front of the car, sometimes its from the nearside and sometimes the offside, sometimes it clunks from both sides, Its been doing it for a while now and hasnt seemed to get any worse but want to fix it anyway, also when the car is up in the air there seems to be no play in any of the steering or suspension parts... What do you suggest it could be, i thought maybe the drop links? cheers guys

On the Euro Spec cars they have a Pump Cancel Relay Situated next to the Oil Cooler Relay, whats that for? Does it cut the fuel in a rear end smash?

19:30pm Just went out to get Fuel for tomorrow and saw you was a quick glimpse as was in la-la land lol.... Black TT (i think) high spoiler, front vents blacked out rear lights. You on here?

Been offered one of the above, dont know anything else about it but its free and coming off a good mate, what else would I need? bigger injectors? boost controller? what?

Ok, not really Zed specific but seeing as how the windscreen is on a Zed. Has anyone had this done? Is it advisable? Can it only be done on certain size chips?
