Okay, a few jobs were done on the Zed (TT) in the past week.. New oil pressure sensor fitted - all working okay (I've never seen the oil pressure gauge read so high). New fuel regulator fitted - seems fine at the moment. Idle speed adjusted - was idling a bit too low, with a tendency to stall (infrequently). Connected ECUTalk and went for a wee drive (screenshot of the info at idle) Comments on the gauge readings welcomed, please. I think that the AAC % is way too high and the IACV/FICD has no activity at all. The car runs fine but quite rich, it does have a Zedworld chip fitted and is decatted Would the high AAC reading have anythi…

The outer strip that brushes against the window as it goes up and down. Is there any way to restore these or paint them? The silver is starting to show and I would like to tidy them up.

Looking to get my car insured again - all mods declared. Do people have recommendations? I tried performance direct but they told me they cant offer me anything instantly and it's one they would need to "put out" and come back to me. Also sent details to Greenlight insurance and am waiting on quotes. I have seen elsewhere that Adrian Flux are very expensive these days. Any info on what people pay would be helpful too. UPDATE: Performance direct have said they can't offer any cover as the insurer does not like that the car has been off the road for the last year and a half? Strange.

Firstly, a big thank you to Gary, Jack, Ian, Pete, Steve and Tom - it was great to see you all on Sunday....! I thought I'd start a new thread for sharing pictures of the day. My starter for two, begins when Julia and me arrived at our hotel on Saturday afternoon

And Tuk - Tuk took the rears ?

Afternoon legends, So I’m not overly technically minded but I’m trying to learn! I have an issue with my fan on start up. I start the car and I get 2-4 seconds of light belt squeak which stops the second the fan kicks in. As far as I’m aware, the fan should kick in immediately on start up, right? I want to have a go at fixing myself so looking for advice on what the cause is and how to fix cheers PFA

Hey guys, a youtuber going by "Jesse's Garage" has been rating his subscribers 300ZX's and so to get some exposure of my Z and my 2kspec replica project, I sent Jesse in a few photos and some details about my Z and he then gave his honest opinion on what he thinks of my car and then giving it a grade of between F to A. It was a fun little exercise for me to participate in and I was differently excited to see my car finally posted on youtube. I am still editing my very first youtube video atm and it could be a little while before its ready to be pulished but I'm hopeful i can get it done sooner rather then later. Here is the link to the video with my car featured in it,…

Hi all, been looking for suppliers for original oem parts and seem to be struggling slightly, is there anywhere people recommend that do all the little bits and bobs aswell as trim pieces etc?

Hi all, My Z has just come back from Jim @ PowerZed, new cambelt, fluids, filters. I now want to move onto the bodywork, unfortunately in the words of Jim this is looking like a 'Deep Pocket Edition'. Please could someone let me know how I can post some pictures as I was hoping to get advice on where I can get some parts from.

Let’s get a thread going with pictures, of off the shelf and custom made exhausts. Please include as many details as possible including the brand/manufacturer, bore/tip size, flow design (X/H etc) and any other relevant details. If you’re unsure of the specifics, post a picture and other members can help to identify it. Feel free to duplicate systems that have already been posted to give ideas of the aesthetics on different colours and mod state cars. It doesn’t have to be your own car, post away!

One of the things I'm trying to get sorted this summer is the power steering leak from around the pot area. All 3 hoses that connect to it are cracking badly so wanted to swap them all. The one I'm having issues finding is the middle one with the "b" label. From what I can tell this seems to have been available at some point on its own as 4972530P04 but is now NLA, and also as a set with the hardlines, brackets and bolts (circled red on the pic) as 49790-30P01 Does anyone know if there's a silicon version available out there (Z1 and Concept Z seem to have different shaped silicon hoses for that area, assume the LHD are different - also both stores don't s…

Was looking through Concept Z to get an order together and came across some "BlasterZ" accent stripe replacements, I may pick some of these up ready for when I have the respray done. Found their website and they seem to have replicas for a lot of stickers on the zed too: https://blasterzgarage.com/products/complete-accent-stripe-kit-all-models?variant=32632120377475 Has anyone tried anything by them before? Is the quality any good?

Hi all, We have reserved a club stand at this year's Simply Japanese show, Beaulieu, on Sunday 24th July; details in the events section as below... This is one of the year's best shows in my opinion - with something to interest everyone. Not only is Beaulieu a great location, considering it houses the National Motor Museum, but the house and grounds are lovely too.... Simply Japanese is always well attended, with some truly excellent Japanese cars on display..... So if you're interested, get your names down and your tickets bought. I shall look forward to seeing you there ?

Recently had my front upper control arms powder coated and am aware they are handed. I hole punched the left one so I could identify it. However, I was wondering what the actual difference is between them as I cannot tell from a quick look. I was wanting to double check I had it right.

Hi. I sent all the details in for my zed to get a club valuation, Saturday before last. Just wondering how long it takes, as I didn’t get any confirmation that anything was received, worried email might not of arrived.

So on Saturday, I headed west to Infinity Exhausts - next door to Jimmer - to have a nice new exhaust built and fitted.... ........It looks just like the BB system from America, so the tails fill the apertures in the rear bumper very nicely. I didn't go for an X- or H-pipe link, keeping each side separate, just like my old Mongoose. Mindful that I didn't want it too loud, the guys at Infinity added a small silencer each side, just after the cats.... So it makes a nice burble right out back at idle, yet still remains relatively quiet at motorway speeds. Plus I asked for the tails not to protrude past the rear bumper, like my old system did.... And they got everyt…

Hey, I am installing a Greddy profec B and just want to check opinions on slightly varying info between the excellent z32 wiki, manual and other online info. Wiki diagram runs the vacuum hose from NO on the valve unit to the solid intake pipe going to the throttle body after the intercooler, the manual shows it connecting to the hose at the other side between turbo and intercooler, surely there is more pressure after the intercooler, which is correct or am I overthinking it? Secondly Wiki suggests the vacuum line on the passenger side can be blocked up, other online info suggests to T into NO from both sides, I can see advantages to this in its giving a balanced read…

hi all i'm replacing my injector rail and will need to replace the cushion seals.are these available in the U.K? thanks. Trev.

I have a small leak on my power steering, which I've been topping up with power steering fluid. I've since found out it needs to be automatic transmission fluid, i presume Dexron 3. To replace the power steering fluid with ATF do i need to drain all the power steering fluid out and flush it, or can i just get most of it out and top it up with ATF?

Hi all, thinking of experimenting with some DRLs, I’m looking for a switched live in the engine bay of my 96 TT. (I know I could use a DRL controller board connected to the battery but I’ve had bad experiences of weird behaviour of these on my daily driver so would prefer a simple switched live supply that’s cut out by a relay when lights are on). There is a 10A fuse for the Shift Lock in the junction box that seems to fit the bill, and as my car is a manual I can’t see that it serves any useful purpose. Wiring diagrams seem to concur, but can anyone out there confirm that I won’t generate any unintended nastiness if I tap into that supply for DRLs? I’d rather a…

Posted here because FB not playing. Can't remember where I got this from in 2019 when I was researching my HZ32. Cheers! z32-jdm-production-numbers.pdf

Hi all, I'm after a set of trim tools for interior and exterior trim, but on looking on Amazon etc. there seems to be so many different types! Amazon Trim Tools Can anyone recommend any that work well with the different trim clips etc. on a zed?
