Hi, i am wondering if a mod could help me?? Can you tell me why i cant pm yet or post in the items for sale section??? Do i need to pass a certain limit, im not selling anythin just interested in a few items :) Thanks

well i recently discovered that the price of new inner hicas joints would be more expensive than just fitting the hicas eliminator. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-300ZX-Z32-90-96-HICAS-Eliminator-Kit-Bypass-Kit_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em122QQcategoryZ33591QQihZ020QQitemZ300185683260QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD2V so im all for the hicas eliminator bar seen as the inners a pooped and the outers seem ok. how hard are these to fit? has anyone atempted to do this themself? what exactly is involved? and what if the rack is siezed etc? Out of curiosty how much would someone fit these for?

I'm trying to change the steering rack gator today but the track rod end to get it off does not want to shift, tried penetrating spray and heat..... Any ideas??

my car has a hole in the rear of the carpet in my zed, do they come in two halves ie: front and back, or is it all one piece, is it an easy change how much am i lookin at to buy one

Does anyone know how many zx's are registered with the dvla in the uk it would be nice to know dont you think :)

Im getting a knock from the back when putting in gear and releasing the clutch like a thud, probably from rear dif, :mad: does anyone know which bush or mount needs replacing for this? its amplified when in reverse and releasing the clutch to drive backwards???

Only subscribed members can sell on here - sorry!

I just got a TT donor car it runs poorly but i think it has the wrong ecu the part # is 23710-30p11 but i cannot find a ecu guide to look it up any one know if this is the right ecu ? if not i can just put my project ecu in and flash a tt config to it ;)

Hi guys, sold my Zed at the start of the year and just wondering how it's doing, still miss the beast!

What do you folks think of these springs, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=006&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=160192456312&rd=1 they are cheap and cheerful but at least they have a brand name, ive seen others on ebay with no brand. bomz also have a website. http://www.bomzracing.com/ Do you think these will have a horrible ride quality? and as long as my shocks aint too bad? but il probably replace them with new oem shocks. Has anyone used these or something similar? I just want that low ride look without spending too much.

Ive never seen this set up on a zed before ,its a bit like what mr2s have. http://www.temple-tuning.co.uk/hks-legal-muffler-exhaust-system-nissan-z32-300zx-dual-2x2-outlet-1461-p.asp

I haven't had any luck on http://www.tt.net, http://www.300zxclub.com, http://www.aus300zx.com or Courtesy Nissan I was hoping this may be the right place. I'm trying to source one while I'm on deployment so that it will be ready for install when I return in Feb. Many thanks in advance.

just done an oil change and it was all going fine until i was tightening the sump plug and think i tightened too much as it then became turnable by hand. have i sheared the plug or the sump casing?? the sump would be alot worse. I have a sump plug from ebay with a magnet on. I am hoping this is the softer part and would of sacrificed or is this false hope??? do halfords do 300zx sump plugs or how much will nissan charge me? hope to get a reply from one of you guys in time for me to go to the shops before they shut. my big question is will i more likely need to replace the plug or the sump???

Hi everyone. I love my zed and provided i can pay to keep it running for 100 years i would drive it for 100 years^^ i also thought that this is a sensible investment as when it gets to classic car age 20-25 years it would be worth more. it seems that people are in a hurry to sell these and sell em cheap.... Even high spec ones..... whats going on...? is this because of the market crash or are they only going to kep falling and falling fast. i looked last year and a descent one would be 3-4 k and really good or high performance were going up to anything like 10k. this year a descent one seems to be 2-3 . i know that as tax gets higher the interest for these big super car…

Hi All, Just pulled the recircs off (I have Blitz BOVs, been running these for a while with the standard recircs in place). Thought I might as well junk the old recircs whilst the engine was out. I now need something to effectively and reliably plug the hardpipes where the recircs were fitted. Anyone done this? What did you use?? I also need a few rubber covers to blank off various vacuum take offs from the balance bar etc (removed EGR and AIV) - these seem to be easily available in the US but not over here...any ideas anyone?? Thanks in advance RobH

anyone know what setting the need to be

OK, so I've resolved the problem with the MAF from the other week, fitted a replacement one. Now I don't seem to have any boost at all! Car drives OK, revs OK, but the (OEM) boost gauge doesn't go to the + side of 0! It'll run between -7 and 0, but wont go past it, and I'm just not getting any boost at all. Done an ECU diagnostic, and come up with code 33 (Left hand O2 sensor) Would this cause the ECU to stop the boost? And if so, how come it's only just started doing it, as I've known that sensor was faulty for quite some time! If the faulty O2 sensor has nothing to do with the lack of boost, any pointers anyone could give me? I'm almost certain that just after …

who will have these hicas steering joints/bushes in stock? wanna change them today.

hey folks short one on air filters : I know you get this " annoying" goose honk sound from the recirc valves when using a K&N cone type filter , but is it possible that you get a quieter , low toned "goose honk" when using a K&N drop in style filter ? ....kicks in at about 5000-5500 rpm. Maz

When I bought my 300 it only came with one key. I took it to my local key cutters and they cut me one and it didnt work. Took it back and the bloke said that the barrell of the key was too worn and they should have never cut it for me in the first place! Anyways... how do I go about gettin a replacment? Is there a key number stamped somewhere on the car that I can use to get a key cut? Cheers
