Hi All, I need a answer to this. Are the electric window motors the same on a jdm 1990 300zx and a uk spec 92. My jdm drivers side motors knackered and I have another one lined up but it's off a uk model. I don't have a garage and with all of the rain we've had and work commitments I haven't been able to get the door card off and check part numbers. Has anyone came across this in their time??? Cheers

I have just received the de cats e.t.c from 2fast to 2cool and i must say they are great, excellent quality and a good price. I was wondering what their intercoolers are like ? If they are of the same quality as the de cats ? If anyone has bought them please let me know. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO-FRONT-MOUNT-INTERCOOLER-GTO_W0QQitemZ220125817180QQihZ012QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQtrksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQcmdZViewItem

Hi all, For many years now I have been using BP Ultimate at 98 RON, but I wanted to know if Shell's V Power at 99 RON was any better for our cars. Does it make that much difference? Prob is that I collect 1000's of Nectar points with BP, if Shell do something similar that would be great. Any thoughts?

Hi guys, yet more on the old Hicas Light. I've checked the fluid level (ok), I've checked the fluid level switch (ok), and the light stays on. I've been reading back through old threads about steering angle sensors, but this only seemed to effect cars with aftermarket steering wheels. I've also tried putting the car into the Hicas Diagnostic but after about 20 attempts gave up. :cry: Please Help!! FYI the car is a J-spec manual, with the original steering wheel. The light comes on as soon as i turn the steering wheel to get out of my parking space. Mark

. :confused: :confused: :confused: Hi all; Has any body got a clue what could be up with my Turbo timer; its a Greedy full timer; the car had a flat batt when i tried it the other day, so i started it with my jump pack, it then started beeping (the timer, not the car :rofl: ) After it had been running for some time i switched it off and it still was beeping. I tried to see if holding the on button would reset it but no luck. So i had to leave it with the ign off (still beeping) so the batt has gone flat again. I am; as i type this; charging the disconected battery. Any one got any thoughts on this one please. :nana2: :nana2:

Hi All Advice from the technically aware please... I've remeber a thread like this but can't find it I'm running 17" wheels at the moment. I've seen some 18's I like. What is the ratio between the profile for 17's and 18's to maintain the same overall diameter. The current 17's are 245/45/17... Anyone know the Answer ? is it 40 or 35 the ratio has to go to ? Thanks Tony

Hope you have a great day :D

which model tubs does the standard zed use, and would fitting suburu P1 tubs be a good upgrade?? Cheers in advance.

Please can anyone decribe the process, and would it be adventagous to the Z32 TT engine?

Just bought some wheels tonight, however, i am not sure whether they will fit or not, or whether i can get away with spacers if they dont... the rears are; 265, 35, 18 with an offset of 38... the fronts are; 235, 40 18 with an offset of 52... i think the rears will fit, the fronts i am not to sure about, any advise please... thanks, Dan

Can anyone tell me if there is anything difficult about fitting de-cats to a n/a? I have done some searches and found one post talking about blocking the hole for a sensor? Not sure what this it for? As far as I can see it pretty much bolts on and then just tie the cat heat sensors up out of the way? Is there anything more to it? Thanks

The rads in Jap tt z's are ally yes? how much is one worth weighed in anyone? I also have a duff heater and air con matrix.

All is well on planet stu and the land of zed (at fooking last) drives lovley and quick. but, a few minor issues i need help on. 1. After a good drive, noticed the turbo boost gauge isnt working on the dash, but the tubs are defo working, there is a small hissing, possible vacuum hose, that ive forgotten about to the rear of the plenium, would this cause the gauges not to work? as everything else is fine? 2. Another good drive, get home, and notice the top rubber pipe to the rad is the size of a tennis ball, by the hard water pipe? this surley isnt normal? is it? 3. Let it cool down, and take out for a little spin, when i parked up, heard pipe pop and water…

Hello strangers! Every so often Zeds get brought up on driftworks and people discuss the merits of drifting them. Personally I don't think TTs are ideal for hard regular track work purely from a money point of view, and having owned three TTs that I tracked a little bit. The NA ones though would be a lot more practical. They are just as fast on anything twisty thats under 60mph and much easier to maintain. I remember at Brunters a couple of years back and slick Pete was one of the fastest in his stripped NA, compared to 300-400bhp TTs. One thing that most people who havn't drift don't really realise is that you don't need much power to drift. I learnt in a 140bhp…

I'm looking at getting some alloys for my zed. At the mo it has Uk spec standard alloys, staggered on the back. In people opinions is it best to keep the staggered set up? Iv seen a nice set of 18s but they are 8 inchs front and back. Does anyone run this type of set up? Any adverse handling effects? ta

Just purchased a chromed one of these for the Zed....was sold as fitting NA like mine put one connection is missing. Any gen on how i can rectify this or route yellow circled one somewhere else....or is it needed?

Hi Paul, A zed im looking at has a missfire on 1 cylinder...now i know you can't give an exact price but would you know a ball park figure for this sort of thing? (sorry cant PM).. thnks Ed

Having only a few days ago buried a close member of Jeff's family who passed away at Xmas, Jeff and the Mrs have today been at the hospital since early hours after Jamie was involved in a 5 car smash on the M1 and is in a serious condition. Jeff has asked me to pass on his apoligies to his many customers who since just before xmas have sent emails or left phone messages regarding their Zeds. He's tried to deal with work as best as possible since the death, but today unfortunately set him right back and for once, has had to put family before his passion of Zeds and those who use Zedworld. He will be back on track asap. Cheers smithy

just a quick question, is it easy to get hold of dash bulbs. from halfords or motor world? cheers Nick

Just wondering if anyone knows what the problem with my zed is. when im driving everything is fine and normal and when it comes to me slowing to a stop (traffic lights / roundabout etc) the revs seem to drop and the engine cuts out. the only way ive been getting round this problem is be breaking harder and then quickly blipping the throttle to keep my revs up. this isn't exactly ideal, has anyone got any suggestions as to what i should do next.???

how bad are these readings??? nr.1 -146 psi nr.2 -145 psi nr.3 -152 psi nr.4 -144 psi nr.5 -149 psi nr.6 -135 psi

Hope alls well after the long move away,and you have celebrated in style. You may or may not have internet as yet but just in case you see this,good luck bud,Tony :cool:

ive just aquired a set of 350z gold brembo`s for less than £600 :D , which i thought was quite cheap. has anyone else got them fitted, is there a significant difference in braking and whats the maximum disc size i can go to. any info would be appreciated.

I dont drive my zed much. Went out and started it up half hr ago. When its warm what should it idle at? When the temp gauge got to the middle mine sits at bout 750rpm, sometimes dropping just a fraction below that. Thats in neutral. If I put it in park and sit with the foot brake on it goes up to just below 1000rpm. Is this normal? Cheers

These look a bargain!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/D2-Adjustable-Suspension-NISSAN-300ZX-Z32-1990-96_W0QQitemZ130191006804QQihZ003QQcategoryZ40192QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
