I am fairly sure that I will need to replace my actuators, should have confirmation from the mechanic tomorrow. I think silverbullet is going to be able to help me out with some second hand stock replacements (thanks Mark) I want to be running around 16psi most if the time SO should I be looking at putting in some uprated ones or sticking with stock actuators? Thanks for the help...

Hi guys, I'm looking into buying a zx. Is there anything I need to look out for? Common faults, problems? Anything that is stupidly expensive to fix? Also, if you have any for sale post up a link or some pics. You can get me on nickg91@hotmail.com too. Cheers.

Hey there my name is Paul and am based in Hertford although venture to Portsmout alot, Now I am moving over to the 300zx scene from the Bmw zone due to now being able to insure a Z with no silly amounts of overtime etc, etc. Now after reading god knows how many posts to get to know the Z much better I am a little confused on the Whole JP/UK model tell signs, I read that the nissan logo on the front indicates Uk version but reflectors on the side.rears indicate Jp. My 300zx is due to be picked up Thursday coming 21st feb and have already viewed and gave deposit as the dude says its a Jap version so kms being at 99k would give around 61/2k miles which i though was not…

Hi hope some one can help me out going to do the lifters[300tt auto] what gaskets do i need and where can i get them also going to do cam belt so want a cam kit as well thanks :duffer:

had a guy come 120 miles yesterday to view the car. He loved it and after a spin and a chat left me a deposit to secure it as he is in the middle of selling his own car. Today was a really nice mild sunny day in Eire and went for a spin with targas off, getting the usual stares and smiles and nice comments. But more than that, I really appreciated being behind the wheel of it again as i have hardly driven it in the last couple of months. What a great feeling, just reminded me of why I love these cars. The sound, the driving experience, the thrill, the relaxed mood. I'm expecting a call in the next week or 2 to say he's on his way to pick it up :headvswal :( …

any one know of a UK supplyer of this bumper? http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/image.php?II=343

Hi all….had to have a new engine (or recon should I say) fitted to my new TT auto jap last October (cambelt failure on way back from Glasgow after just having bought her…..d-ough was gutted!) After the engine was fitted the mechanic advised me that the wiring loom was very brittle. Ever since then I’ve had a hot start issue.. Also cat warning light used to come on when not being driven that hard. Have been just pootling around trying to just ease the engine in for the first 1000 miles. Recently with the good weather I tried to put her through her paces and drove the car hard. After a bit of stick she started to misfire and is very jumpy on idle at traffic lights. Ha…

Can any1 help please? My passenger side rear suspension is approx 20mm higher. I believe this has only recently occured! Has it got something to do with my handbrake? Its a UK spec model and I recall some1 mention you can adjust the stiffness on UK cars using the H/brake?? HELP!

Hi Anyone heard of these manifolds from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250215545097 Wouldn't the welding increase the risk of cracking?

On boost 5th cylinder stops firing and cat overheat light comes on, at that time I can also smell fuel and it's really strong, I've checked for leaks but everything's ok. I will also point out that sometimes it runs rough on idle but revs smooth as soon as pedal is tapped, also when I do boost it the cylinder which stops working will fire back up in 5-10 mins... any eyed dears?
