got my hids yesterday, no instructions but there are only two wires to connect. where do they go? is it on to the low beam connectors just before the old bulbs?

Got the Z started up for the first time in months today and after a good warm up gave it some revs and played a few tunes with the engine. Sounds AWESOME! I'm hooked again. Just need to fix the clutch now to get it back on the road. Decided to get the Border bonnet out of the shed that's been waiting to go on since last summer when the clutch failed. I think it looks stunning on and really suits the car. It's the finishing touch to make the car exactly what I've always wanted as I've never quite been happy with the old bonnet I had. It's been roughly primed and sprayed over with a tin of silver paint so it doesn't look quite so silly as the blue it was pain…

What is the highest bhp and fastest Quarter mile 300zx?

can anyone give me a price for pvc valves and pipes? also is there va way i can test or repair the ones on the car?

car show in stevenage (hertfordshire)last night,only found out about it at 6 oclock. went along to have a look. only two zeds there (mine & a non members)

With recent talk on here of jacks etc I thought I would treat myself to one of these fellas after my mate at his tyre fitting bay bought two. I believe he bought them at Costco 89 mm entry height..:bow:.... so no more nasty Nissan sill jacking at my place... WooHooo:dance: Oh yeah it cost me £83 all in and I did an extra half day at work this morning to cover that:D

having a blond moment...... where the temperature and pressure sensors have 2 wires (signal and ground) the drawing that came with the sensors show 2 wires running from the sensor to the gauge. is there any reason why i can't just run the signal cable and ground the sensor to the chasis in the engine bay and the gauge inside the car?

jet washed car drove away normally then spluttered and cut out starts revs once cut out took seonsor on air filter off runs ok but only revs to 2 to 3 thousand revs have apexi filter might got wet plus tried jetting gearbox from underneath and maybe back of engine turned ecu screw i think code 12

I was watching U tube today about a 10sec 300zx over the quarter, in the writing belwo the lad who owned it said that all TT's came with forged crank and rods and pistons were the main week spot is this true?

What was the point of that?! The poll said that the majority were in favour of a split but the last but one post by big kim said that the majority wanted no change, so why post the poll?!

I know the radiators are different but are the caps the same? What about series 1,2,3,4?

Just got my brake broblems sorted. Replaced the master cylinder and all is well. Just want to say thanks to Steve Burns for loaning me his drive, tools, tea, equipment, left foot and showing me the biggest collection of Z car memorabilia in the world :bow: Thanks steve!!!

Hello all! Right i have a 4000 Mile trip into Europe and back (From Midlands - Monaco and back detouring to X, Y and Z) and my car is in great engine nick wise so im confident she will be happy as can be cruising on motorways! A few weeks back i had a 12hour round trip to Scotland and back and by god did my feet ache! So is 700 miles and i was like that and i have about 4000 im guna need something to help me out IE. Cruise Control! Are there any Bolt On Devices that people recommend?? Seen a few on internet but have no idea whats good and whats not??? Or is it possible to fit a Z Cruise Control Unit to my car and just make a switch to turn it on and off???…

My car bottoms out coming up the drive so I want to raise the suspension slighty at the front. Does anyone know on these coilovers whether I need to turn the bottom c bolt to the right, upwards towards the spring or to the left, downwards away from the spring?? I'm guessing away from it but I'm not 100% Cheers

dont know if any of you remember or even care for that matter, but these exhausts dissapeared for a while so i'm just letting you know that they are back http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-TURBO-N-A-CAT-BACK-EXHAUST-SYSTEM_W0QQitemZ230240601261QQihZ013QQcategoryZ38786QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I've had my dash apart fitting my led converted dials and found this white box tucked up in there with a fair bit of wiring in a nice little roll. It connects to a 'button' which I've been pressing for a year wondering what it does but never figured it out! The cabling seems to be cut and not goin anywhere apart from one end at the button....which you can see to the right of the ignition... So...does anyone know what it is??

Car failed MOT on brake pipes. Think it actually failed for Hicas pipes as a couple of days later the Hicas pipe burst. However got the rear subframe off(belated thanks to nellys300zx) and am about to replace all the piping hicas, brake and fuel.Brakes no problem, Cunifer twin flare bish bosh bash. Hicas, no problem new flex hoses made by hydraulics bods. Fuel pipes. probs, what do I use for the piping, Cunifer or steel alloy and how do I make the nipples (oooer sounds a bit rude) on the pipe ends to locate in the rubber tubing, or do I really need them?

I am getting water leaking into the boot. At first i thought it was the rubber gater on the rear wiper. I have changed this and i am pretty sure its not that. It looks like it could be coming from the bottom of the window where the rubber seal is. How can i fix this?

As you know, series 1/series 2 non-SRS has the speed/set controls on the steering wheel with the indicator paddle on the right hand side. (Shown is a USDM car which has the indicator on a different side to JDM models), but all series 2+ came with indicator stalks on this side. I have an aftermarket steering wheel (Momo Race) on my series 1 and it'll either remain or be replaced with a Momo Daytona, so will not be fitting the original steering wheel and therefore my CC still remains redundant. There's no real suitable place to mount the buttons from the steering wheel anywhere in the dash without it looking messy. So, I am looking at retro-fitting the indi…

Need to get myself a battery charger as the Z is always going flat sitting on the drive for months on end. I've borrowed a couple recently but the fuse immediately blows and I'm guessing it's down to the size of the huge Bosch battery I've got and it needing a high current to get it charged. Anyone else had this problem? Thinking of getting one form Halfords tomorrow but not sure if theirs are up to the job?
