Spotted un-known Zed, it was dark at the time, coming down from the George Inn at Portsdown hill earlier this evening?? Front fogs were on. tut tut. LOL

im new the the whole world of zeds and im currently lookin to buy one of my own, but while im waiting till after xmas to get it and for a clean one to turn up at the right price ive been lookin into them and cant find a whole lot of detail on what mods and tuning can be done, as for parts either, ive tuned the tits off a skyline and wana see what i can do with one of these now as skylines are just everywhere now. so what im asking is, what type of mods are really available. i cant find a power fc although i can find the extension lead for these cars, i know the e-manage is available too. as for the elbows and front pipes are these made into the exhaust systems for t…

When removing the engine on a TT do you recommend removing with or wthout gearbox attached- it's a manual btw. Thanks

Lets hope the pics work... i was fitting an Apexi kit i got from Dan at DTA and when i removed the airbox and saw the AFM I notice it was torn. and looks like so... (providing the pics work!) Do i need new AFM or with it be ok? Kinda tried sorting it as it had a big hole, stretched it out a bit and kinda looks a bit better! any advice appreciated.

Is it possible to remove just the lower part of the engine in order to change pictons or do I have to work my way 'down'?

Firstly i wanna say Big thanks to Mujina to his Led dash/pod guide, was a pain in the a$$ as i'm really not so good with eletronics and soldering irons, But after going through his guide i have done 99% of the lights. You are the man!! :hyper: All i really need to do now is the "ring of fire" around the ignition barrel, My problem is that i have been out to the car tonight and have noticed that the plastic clip and ring (http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?p=447209#post447209 Pic 9 from the bottom, its a white clip that houses the bulb) is missing from my car. Now the question is either can i order the part and just replace it and continue with the …

A big thankyou to all your help in finding a Radiator for my ZED. Its been the worst week of my life driving around in a 1.4 Vauxhall astra with no Bo**ocks. Its now back where it belongs with the wife. :hyper: :nana2:

White Z with high spoiler, turning into Blackwall Lane Greenwich towards the 02 Dome about midday.

Any recommendations were i can source some good side mount intercoolers? And what performance gains are there?

I'm taking the Z to Zedworld in Tamworth to get the Hicas bushes redone as they have worn out. I'm thinking at the same time to get my ECU remapped. They say it costs £300 and gives about 70bhp more. Is this a good idea? Will this have any impact on the turbo's or coolng system or anything else? Would it be better to upgrade other elements of the car first. The car has blitz dump valves, sports air filter, and big bore exhaust. It may have other performance mods but I wouldn't recognise them if I was looking at them.

Whats that tiny fan for ,at the top left of the inside of the car in the middle of the tbar where the interior light is? mine makes an annoying noise.... ahhhhh and my aircon and climate control doesnt work would that have anything to do with it? my heating only comes out hot and not cold???/

HI ALL :hyper: AM SUFFERING HESITATION AT STEADY SPEEDS, UNDER NO LOAD AND REATIC IDLE, PULSING UP AND DOWN BETWEEN 600-1400 :rant: TPS IS FINE, INJECTORS FINE, COIL PACKS FINE, TEMP SENSOR FINE AIV FINE. :D AFTER SEARCHING THE FORUMS I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT COULD BE THE O2 SENSORS :D AM LOOKING FOR ANYONE IN THE SUFFOLK/NORFOLK AREA THAT COULD DO THIS FOR ME AND WHAT SORT OF PRICE WILL IT COST :D MANY THANKS ALAN

guys, one of the elements (if that is what you call it, basically one of the heated wires/lines that goes across the rear windscreen) doesnt and has never worked. Not a mega problem as it in not in a key area and any misting that is covered by that wire eventually gets cleared by the adjacent wires. Just wondering if there is an easy fix for this???

I have not had my Z very long and i have just brought a turbo boost gauge and do not know how to fit it can anyone help please. :confused:

Hi guys, just putting things back together and am not happy with the state of my coolant pipes at the rear of the engine (near the EGR valve - or at least where it used to be ;-)). It's the two larger bore pipes that are worst affected but most are pretty poor. Any help with the following would be appreciated: 1. Quite corroded at the ends and very rough around the sealing area but weren't leaking, would you risk using these pipes? ;-) 2. Can anyone supply Nissan part numbers and rough costs please? (I am sitting down). 3. Does anyone have any reasonably good used items to sell? If mods think this post would be better in 'items wanted', please feel free to m…

Finally got the rad fitted in the car, just a bit of plumbing an air box, manifolds and an alternator to go!!

Well what can I say. Yesterday at 11.30 am I had to nip out to see a customer. I was only 800 yards from my place of business passing through some traffic lights when SMACK an off duty **** stable jumps the traffic light give way makers and crashers into the side of my white 300 tt. I just can not believe it really I can. The traffic police came never breather tested my self of the other office, Just had up pass over our details and left it at that. Now im a 300 down which is a right off and very brused. Check the pics of my poor old car. Now it looks like I really can not make the xmas get together

Just found that the "Twinz" front bumper is now available from Z-Centre, called Cobra. http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?products_id=344

YES more new threads from myself. ok clutch has today just gone very stiff, its like a gym workout to hold down as i was stuck in loads of traffic a406 this morning :( and sounds like its making a wistle noise when pressed in? also hard to get in gear when cold, and whines when clutch is released?? help would be nice :)

This is not a for sale thread - I'll put that in the for sale section at a later stage. I've not driven my 300zx now for 3 years. I've only owned it for 5 years and in that time I've spent over £50k on it. I'm just so frustrated now as I've tried everything I can to get the car back from the mechanic but every deadline I have given has been missed. The ones that were quite important to me were: Summer 2006 - missed. Christmas 2006 - missed. My wedding Jul 2007 - missed. Birth of my little daughter Oct 2007 - missed. I was originally quoted 3 weeks, to have the engine reassembled and put back into the car. No fabrication or parts were required that I…

I dont want to seem like im spamming these threads but my 300zx needs alot of work to get it to how i want it My 300zx idles diferently whenever it feels like it, sometimes it idles high sometimes low, i think it might have somthing to do with the ambiant temp as when its very cold like this morning it was idling very high 1.2rpm and i know its not the choke because it was idling high the whole duration but not as high as when i first started the car... sometimes it idles very low .750 im confused. I also get a very strong smell of petrol in side the car and outside, even the police picked up the smell from outside the car when they pulled me over the…
