There have probably been a number of these threads over the years, but let's have another one anyway. :biggrin: My Zed was in use yesterday - topless, no less! - and she's currently parked outside the house. So I'm looking out of the window and finding myself asking "So what is it about her...?" Personally, there are a couple of reasons: I always loved the shape as a kid... they were just so sleek and almost space-aged. I remember being in the car with my parents and there being a Zed behind us and it was like being trailed by a shark! When an opportunity arose for the driver to overtake, I watched it go past (it was a nice day so the driver had the roof of…

Hi all, Big thanks to everyone who voted for my car in COTM and COTY. Finally decided what to do with the Halfords voucher and bought a 200 piece tool set in a sale today. Originally I was going to put the money towards a new compressor for the garage but it was proving to be a brain ache ordering a compressor though Halfords and paying with a voucher. Any way you can never have to many tools laying around the house or garage i say lol. This set will keep the Zed on the road for many years to come. Many thanks Dan

Hi All, What's the model number for the spark plugs for the UK TT LWB 1992. Cheers

Hi really need some help on this, driving the car this morning when all of a sudden smelled something kind of burning, then car just lost all electrics dash etc and stopped, the burning smell went, i pulled the bonnet pulled battery lead off fearing a car fire, but now when i put the battery lead back on i get all electrics working that dont require ignition on, the lights, wipers, radio heater blower hazzards, the boost controllor powers up, as does the turbo timer, the alarm arms and disables the doors, but when i turn on ignition nothing, when i try to start the car the only thing that moves is the stock turbo boost gauge needle moves up to 3/4, ive had the ecu out and…

Hi All, Is there anywhere other than Z centre that sells arch and sill replacement repair panels? Cheers.

Now that I have been driving the 300zx for a few days after months of driving ordinary saloon cars I just love the way the Super HICASS helps the Z turn into corners at high speed. It feels very quick, solid and safe and brings a smile to my face every time. Thank you Nissan for this expensive mod you have put on our cars. Now bring on the HICASS haters so I can advise you how wrong you are.:gunsmilie: Gio's thred http://www.300zxtt.co.uk/techsuperhicas.html

I am sure i have dealt with this ebay seller before but i'm having no luck with him, i have messaged him twice without response and i really want the spare wheel or space saver that's in the middle of the picture, i don't care for, nor can i make use of anything else apart from perhaps the air bag but i need the spare in my life...................or boot !! I need therefore to win the auction within my budget, i then require someone who lives in or near Worcester whom i shall pay plus some extra for their trouble with paypal gift and to collect 'the lot' for me. I would then pay all courier costs to get the spare to me, the 'collector' can then do whatever they like …

I got a lend of a friends vacuum tester so thought I'd go round all the pipes etc and they all seem good (providing I'm doing it right) apart from one, so thought I'd ask. The tube goes from the back of the balance bar down to 2 tiny pipes under the passenge side intercooler pipes. I believe this to be the Carbon canister piping. So, I'm putting the vac tester/puller on the end that would normally fit to the balance bar, so I'm trying to suck from the carbon canister and it doesn't hold, just lets air go pretty quick. Does this mean there's a vac leak down there or should it hold?

Hi is anyone here using tein adjustable suspension super street who is knowledgeable about their initial set up that I can talk to this afternoon please. Sayers. 07929159828

Hi, I have had a look through the archives but not really finding the answer I'm looking for. Running a stock setup, with 18" rims (staggered so 9" on the rear and 8" on the front), please can someone tell me what tyre sizes I'm looking at? I'm thinking 265/35/18 on the rear, is this as wide as I can go without rubbing? On the front I'm guessing 235/35/18? Does it need to be 35 to keep the original circumference the same (would a 40 matter for example), how crucial is this? I don't want to be going 35mph and showing 30mpg on the speedo etc. I don't want to stretch the tyres or anything like that, just a normal setup. Cheers :)

Not my cup of tea, but I've not seen anything like this before. (Ignoring the engine bay modifications and V8 install!):

ive looked but cant find the template for cutting out rear boot shelves to allow the fitting of a strut brace , anyone help with a how to, ? ta

....... and still they come, the continued arrival of zeds with corrosion requiring welding attention is at the busiest ever, I guess this is inevitable really as the cars get older and spend more time in the UK weather and road conditions. The floor on this one has had to be repaired, seeing this more often too now, the sills had been repaired before as you can see with ocean`s of filler !! At least it is another one that will be saved by the Zedworld welder, should have some pics when complete. A reminder to all that the sills, floor and wheel arches are slowly corroding away, do not be fooled by shiny paintwork unless they have been done correctly, the…

As lovely as my zed sounds, not having a stereo installed is beginning to irritate me. I’ve ordered the usual bits and bobs and I’ve been looking into how to install the stereo, but I still have a few questions… Firstly, can I install a microphone inside the reading light facing out of the vent? This looks like the perfect place for hiding a mic, but I’m curious as to why there’s a vent (see picture) and if I’ll be blocking a sensor, or something else I shouldn’t be messing with. Secondly, I removed the rear speaker covers yesterday to see what size the factory speakers are. Turns out they’ve been removed and I don’t have any speakers there! Looking at …

Posted on TT.net - a new BDE product in development: http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2607016/BDE-Z32-transmission-mount-in-the-works.html

Past week a friend of mine has repaired my rear sill wich were a bit rusted. Most of the rust has been cist out an the rest has been treated with rust-stopping products. Everything has been redone with wax afterwards :-) Below, pic's of the work.

Hi All, Does anyone know if Nissan maxima or any other Nissan makes will fit the ZX? Cheers.

hi does anyone know of this car , any build threads etc on here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300zx-z32-tt-manual-import-track-race-modified-not-supra-skyline-rx7-gto-/291736139215?hash=item43ecd435cf:g:YWUAAOSwJQdXDTBn cheers

I am about to purchase an alloy rad for my auto (cracked at the top), but I will be doing a conversion at some point. Could someone please advise if I should get a manual rad or an auto? I was thinking get a manual and T piece the gearbox cooling pipe into oil cooler hose for now. Or do I get the auto and block off the extra outlet...

A short video from MeisterR sponsored driver Michael Marshall (2013 British Drift Championship Champion) We ask him to explain how the MeisterR coilovers adjustments works in a simple and easy to understand way. A few shots of how the MeisterR GT1 are build, as well as his latest BMW E92 M3 drift car in action included. :) We hope this will be useful information for everyone. Enjoy… Jerrick

Reading through some old threads the other day, I unexpectedly found a previous owner of my zed, so naturally I did a bit of digging! And found out some quite worrying things... Looks like it had major welding done TWICE (for some reason?!?) In 2012 http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?158835-Loads-of-work-done-Thank-you-Lee-) http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?162871-Got-the-Old-Girl-back-from-the-bodyshop-) And I've then got an invoice that it had one of the sills done AGAIN in 2014, AND the other sill has currently got a horrible patch on it so looks like that was done again... AND it still needs all redoing again now! Including one…

As part of the cars ongoing refresh I'm replacing all the crap or under performing bits. The 501 LEDs in the JDM sidelights were old ones I had lying around and are practically purple. So anyone got any RECENT experience of the best ones to buy. Looking for ones with a colour output similar to my 4300k Hids.

Hi all Just after advise on correct tyre pressure as the drivers door sticker is worn and I can't quite make out the recommendation....could be my old eyes ! Front 225/40Z/R18 92W Rear 265/35Z/R18 97Y These were already on the car so I am assuming they are ok ? Thx Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi all Looking to get my interior tidied up. 1. Any recommendations on someone to help repair my leather where stitching has come away slightly 2. What products do you recommend to get my tired leather back to its former glory 3. What solution can I use for the tweed door cards to feel like new again 4. Is it cheaper to ignore 1-3 and look for a good secondhand interior ? How much do they go for ? Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
