I have had my auto for 4 years now and have been really happy with it. It is one of the smoothest autos I have driven and to date have had no problems with it (touch wood). I am aware that the majority of the forum favour the manual 300zx over the auto, but what I would like to know is: Does anyone that has done the conversion regretted changing ?

Bought a new steering wheel. How hard can it be to change? Tell me how do you get rid of the electrical plug for the cruise control etc under the steering column without breaking anything and with leaving the connections for the horn intact?

How many front ends/bumpers that take the OEM lights do you know of? Please? Thanks. :rolleyes: Pictures would be gratefully accepted.

Guys and Gals. Ive come across a bit of a dilemma today. I refurbed my wheels the other month and brought the lip on them back to a mirror finish, and they do look good. BUT after a week of using the car without cleaning it, they have started to pit again, and even after a good polish, there not quite as good as they were when i first refurbed them. Now, i was going to change my wheels later this year for a set of UltraLite Nurburgs with black centers (the same as topless has got) the thing is, as much as i love the look of wheels with polished lips and how they enhance the look of how wide the wheels are, I just cant be arsed in polishing them everytime i clean…

I am in the process of doing a 60k service at the moment, I have just taken the old Thermosat out and it had some sort of gasket sealant around it. I am using the guide on http://www.ttzd.com and it does not mention anything about using a sealant on the Thermosat. Just wondering if I need to put sealant on it or not?

Could someone please tell me where the fuse for the indicators is on my 300tt jap import, as i find myself unable to flash [imagin my disopointment]

Some unusual things happened: Took the car out last night steering was heavy as tho pump went then 5 mins later was ok again. Go out to pick Girlfriend up today and heater was playing up would go hot then into aircon temp then back and keeps doing that although heater is on top setting. Noticed small spray in drivers side under where all the sterro gubbins are. But thing that worried me is the temp guage is up and down like a yo yo but no steam or anything showing. Anyone had these gremlins?

my insurance runs out at the end of this month, but obviously the car dont look like it did last year :cool:. i have just had a quote from luke at sky insurance for £651. this includes all below. fully comp for me & the wife (the latter could be a really bad move :eek:) £350 excess courtesy car £15k agreed value ( the max they go to, but wanted nearer 20k ) includes all mods for 500+rwhp 3k limited mileage does that sound reasonable ?

Hi all, Ok japfest coming up, trying to get an mot on the car and get it tip top and ready in time. One problem the car has is it sounds tappety, guessing it has hydraulic lifters so I'm thinking oil pressure problem. Seems to only sound like one lifter is at fault (if I'm right) so maybe it's a dodgy one. Either way the gauge on the dash is a bit rubbish and seems to move all over the place. What oil pressure should I be seeing? Trying to buy a gauge/sandwich plate from Demon tweeks at the moment so I can get a good reading. I'm also using the Mobil oil you get in Hellfrauds, should I be using something different that might cure this problem? …

Right, as my bonnet is non-standard the previous owner decided to clip the washer hoses/jets to the underside so that the spray comes between the lip of the bonnet and the scuttle panel. It was working well until the hose came a little lose - long story short, the front washers don't even hit the window anymore and have lost 80% pressure! I've been searching for appropriate washer jets that could be adapted to fit under the bonnet as it is now but none seem to be right...anyone have any ideas as to what I can do? Currently, the jet is just the hose with a solid piece of metal tubing with a very small hole in it...creating the pressue to hit the screen... ..…

My 2 Zeds, 1 without engine, are being delivered tommorrow! Will be able to start breaking the Blue car for spares and prepare the Black one for respray, manual conversion and new engine once i remove the old one! I just hope i havent bitten off more than i can chew with this project. Just keep telling myself it will be worth it in the end and hopefully will have an original Strosek kitted Z on the road in a few months! The company delivering them says he has never had anything as low and as wide on the back of his truck before! Big thanks to Chris at Ztech for helping the guys get the cars on the flatbed. The black widearch had to be put on a 4 post ramp and driven …
