After getting my car broken into so the cheeky buggers could nick my radio im just wandering if anywhere sells radio covers or a panel that pulls out and can be folded away to cover the radio? Regards Andy

my idle smooth to i blip throttle then runs rough boost sits high then when rev a little boost go,s down b4 up and when running crap can take leads off some spark plugs and runs the same

As an option that could be open to me, what do you think of... Selling Eliza! Now considering the current market for Zeds, and the following... 1) I have no boost reading, ie; the needle stops at zero. Don't yet know the reason for this. 2) The rear crank seal is suspect. 3) She requires at least a partial respray, as the lacquer is peeling on the bonnet. 4) There are two minor dents in the rear drivers side wing. 5) The 99 spec front bumper is cracked on the lower lip and requires repairing. 6) Left hand O2 sensor doesn't work. How much would I expect to get for her? Now I'm not stupid, I realise she isn't worth all that much in this conditi…

as above, bargain of the century as it went for £4k!!! worth more than that in bits. lol bit sad, but onwards and upwards...:dance::nana2::dance::nana2::dance:

My dad spotted a white standard (or what he thinks is standard) zed yesterday on southport coastal road, will of been around 6pm give or take. Was it you???

Hi there, was looking for something else, and followed the link from Concept Z Performance to their engine blocks. I was curious, how is it that they can sell brand new blocks? Do Nissan still manufacture them or are these stockpiled somewhere in the world?:dance: I don't need one, but its good to know they are still around. cheers.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! I had an accident in the Z just before christmas, someone opened thier door as i was driving past scuffing the front bumper and crushing the nearside wing. So i bought another bumper and wing but ill health and personal problems got in the way of me fixing the car untill today. took off the old bumper and swapped over all the brackets went to fit it only to find it's warped!!!!!! It was transported and stored flat so it's doubtfull it's happened since i've had it. I've now got to put my old and tatty bumper back on to get it through the MOT. Not a f###ing happy camper today!!!:headvswal On the upside i may have…

Just had a phone call from the other cars insurance company and although there is some despute about how it happened he is still at fault. So hopefully it will get repaired soon.:nana2::dance::nana2: Is there anything I should find out about the body repair shop before taking it to the one they recomend, or would i be better off taking to my garage?

what should be the standerd boost psi be on my import i know its boosting a 0.3 bar

One question really, how on earth do I do it? Need to remove the back seat bench and seat back. Also, is there a frame or is it just foam? Asking as I am reupholstering it!

Think my rear turbo seal has gone, not too sure just what the other thread was going on about. when I start the car it seams ok till i put my foot down, then I leave a lot of smoke behind me, smells alot too. after about 5/10 mins it stops and all is fine it only does it first thing when its cold. does it sound like them? If it is them is it ok too drive and how much will it cost for parts?

I've copied from another thread the following link, http://www.300zx.org.uk/model_variations.htm and am interested to see that a series VI Zed has CLEAR rear lights, and that's BOTH sets of lights...the indicator lights AND the brake lights. Does anybody know where I could get my sticky fingers on a set of these?

At the back of the engine bay on the drivers side there are loads of vacuum lines going to two small square boxes which the loom plug into. One runs to a metal pipe on the plenum on the underside (near the brake cylinder) which then comes out at the back of the plenum near the coolant line for the turbo. Anyone one know what it does?

reard clear lens kit arrived today will likely have a play on the weekend cheers liz ta :cool:

More of an interest question than a neccesity at the mo. Is there anywhere in the uk that can service/repair JIC coilovers. Or would any suspension servicer be able to do it and if so, where and who are they? cheers danny
