Hi, I need to replace the MAF on my 300, but have come up with varying products (with different prices) at different places and have no clue what the differences are likely to be. Examples: https://www.z1motorsports.com/intake-mas-and-hoses/nissan/new-oem-300zx-mass-air-flow-sensor-meter-mas-maf-p-1752.html http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/141910316101?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=122&chn=ps&googleloc=1006674&poi=&campaignid=207297426&device=c&adgroupid=13585920426&rlsatarget=aud-133395220866%3Apla-131843259426&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff12=67&a…

Is it worth while having the ECU chipped on a non turbo??? Thanks.

After 6 Years my Z is finally coming out of retirement but, it deserves some new wheels. I'm looking to fill the arches without any crazy camber or intense arch work. The wheels will also need to fit with the 350z Brembo callipers and coilovers I'm fitting. I won't be going crazy low. What are you thoughts on these? 18" 9.5J Wheels with a offset +25 19" 9.5J Wheels with a offset +12 I'm happy to add spacers if needed. Cheers

What's all the fuzz about this "blue glass"? Is this rare? Mike

Ever since my car was painted I always thought the fine swirls left behind was unacceptable, I think the paint shop did a great job but I feel it just needed a bit more attention for perfection. I first noticed it when I got it home on the trailer (in pieces) as the sun shone brightly on the car highlighting very fine swirls. Before the NEC show last year it was my intention to get a professional paint correction carried out on the car but never found the time to organise it. Ever since it was painted, I have been using improper "restricted water washing" techniques or even worse "waterless washing" which has compounded these fine swirls. The paint still looks a…

I am after the FairladyZ emblem off of a S30 (https://www.z1motorsports.com/aero-and-body/nissan-motorsports/jdm-s30-fairlady-fender-emblem-metal-p-4453.html) and the cheapest option is from Z1 but can't justify solely buying the emblem and paying delivery.. Thus I'm asking next time someone has a bigger order if i can tag this in and then give you the money for it, and a some extra for the troubles then separately deliver to me from the uk which i will cover. Thanks OR, if theres a number of people who need bits and pieces, i could be the middle man, anything to lower the cost of that delivery for everyone

Currently the 300 has a Thatcham Cat 2 immobiliser fitted. It had it when I bought the car, and in all honesty I have never been happy with it and having looked at the wiring for it, it has clearly been installed by a complete muppet. As such I am looking to rip it out and replace it (although I will get someone to do it for me to ensure the cert gets signed etc). SO what do people recommend? I don't need a tracker, just a half decent kit.

Hi guys anyone going? Ill be there on shadow sports stand.

I finally decided to improve my listening quality inside the Z specially on my long weekend drives along the coast. I am not going into deep heavy stuff like subwoffer etc..I would never drill a single hole on my Z. But after digging around a bit, I finally decided to go for these products. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alpine-CDE-193BT-car-media-receiver/dp/B01956EWYO http://www.alpine.es/p/Products/type-g-speakers375/spg-17c2 I been told that at least it´s going to improve the sound quality and most of all this radio will help me to tune into us stations into my app Iphone using my annual vpn. please really need your advice on this, anyone has alpine and wha…

My Z is due to go in for a complete body haul and respray in a couple weeks and i am half minded to try and widen the rear arches a bit to give a bit of unique styling. something like this grabs my eye.. I would only want to widen the rear though as don't want the car to look chubby.. Any thoughts on this?

I was wondering about my 300 and previous owners and club history, maybe someone is better at digging up info than me As far as I know I bought the car from Riggs in late 2009 as a rolling shell He bought it from turbo_boy a month or two before for the manual gearbox Turbo_boy bought it from uno "Chris" in July 2009 Seems like uno bought the car in April 2009 I though I had info before this but can't find any more. More info that may help on the search 1992 swb TT manual j reg Originally black Was fitted with recaros when uno had it ( maybe before) High level rear spoiler, skirts and bumper, volks wheels, teins

Wondering if anyone has seen any of their parts and knows what they're like? http://www.ionicdynamics.com/ProductsNEW1.html Came across them the other day, haven't heard of them before but that doesn't really mean much! Not to everyone's taste of course but I adore the roof spoiler they do, have seem similar designs in the past but never anywhere that sells them so pleased I found somewhere for future reference! Also I think I've seen it said before that it's difficult to find late spec side skirt replicas? They've got some! No idea what the shipping would be like of course, but the prices seem good.

When I bought my 300 it had in a Momo Race wheel which I just never got on with. As a temp measure I installed a 350z wheel that I had spare from my Z33 ownership days. It's worked fine, but I always wanted to put in a Series 4 wheel as was original to the car. Anyways, I now have a Series 4 wheel. This is where the problems begin.... I know that the "AirBag" warning light from behind my dash cluster has been removed (guessing when Momo wheel was installed). And some of the spiral wheel wiring has been *******ised. That's fine, I can sort the wiring out. Problem comes when not knowing if the crash sensors are all working ok. I don't fancy p…

Hello, I have seen these wheels around a lot lately and wondered what peoples thoughts were on the make, and look of the M580 model on the zed? I think it might look quite nice in a dark grey with deeper concave rears?...

To save time when back in uk. I have to replace this hose (which I have) Got access to the top part of hose that goes onto the pump. & new copper compression washers. My help/advice is; What is required to fit the lower part of hose? It looks to be a screw type of attachment. Do I need to remove anything from under the car. Is there a seal for the bottom part of the hose? Any one change this hose before as it seems a common problem! Cheers Art

Right, just been told that I have oil leaking from my steering rack boots, which I have been informed, means that it's leaking from the actual rack and not from the hoses, Is there anything I can do to fix this or do I need to buy a new/replacement one?? Thanks

Right I've got a late style ecu, confused as to what to do with it, it's been previously chipped, contemplating if I can afford a stand alone ecu, been recommended the link g4+ as it's a plug in for the 300zx, are there any other good ones out there any recommendations? Tried an early ecu in my old na (also 16 bit) just caused errors...

Does anyone know what the Standard gearknob thread size is please Ta

Hey I'm ordering the cluster ring tomorrow and wanted your opinion on which ones to order! My interior is the black/smoke leather with suede interior. I have the black/grey carbon fiber Hydrodip accessories (radio bezel, dome light, vents, door handle). Should I stick with the polished aluminum, chrome or black gauge rings? I'm ordering these along with a replica titanium key. And replacing the stock cluster lights with LEDs (I have all other interior and lights converted to LED already)... Any input on lights would help too.. Thanks Ikon

So, after buying the new suspension bits, I thought I'll get the car in the air and start fitting them. So, the Rear Upper Control Arms are on. Had to hear up the bolts to crack them off etc but I managed in the end. Didn't do the hicas delete as I thought I'd probably have to take the knuckle out and press the old bush and ball joint out and I didn't have a press there so left it for another day. On to the front, I started with the tension rods, managed one side without any real issue, the other side ruined my life!!! The bolt that goes through the bushing just will not come out, we got the nut off the end but no matter what we tied, hammers, heat etc the bo…

Well the sun was out and very hot in Andover today ,so roof out and the cruz around was on

Just finished another painting of a Zed but this time the Steve Millan IMSA. It fills my time whilst I'm away from the Zed and my family..........maybe that should be the other way around....errrrr, I'll get back to you on that one:surrender: Luckily for me,my mrs allows me to hang my Zed paintings in the study, mainly because she doesn't go in there and because it looks like a Zed museum; oh well love here's another one, lol. I like painting 300's now and find I can put a sketch down really quick compared to the other cars I've painted.

I'm thinking of getting my zed steam clean an chassis wash there's a place not to far from me that does it the only thing that worries me is the electrics will it start up after is there any parts of the engine I should get them to cover up thanks Stephenu

After seeing BambooJoe thread about crashing his zed it reminded me of the biggest body repair we were part of some years back, thought a recap would be cool and Bamboojoe will look at it and think his is minor in comparison......enjoy Jeff Needed some straight mental to work with so to the donor scrap zed........ Quick cut and shut ( eek !! ) some paint and a polish ..........Done !!
