Hi all, Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything using the search or trawling through the threads. I have a SWB manual NA, Jap spec, with a burst radiator. From searching various sites, I see that certain TT radiators state that they will fit "with some modification". Does anybody know what is involved? I don't mind fabricating new brackets or making new mounts, as long as it ends up looking decent. Don't want it to look hillbilly if you know what I mean. If anyone can recommend a rad that gives a decent fit, or a stock rad from another model that fits, please let me know. Thanks in advance........ :nana2:

not met before for example at a meet. how do YOU drum up a conversation thats doesnt make you sound like a boring shit! my hate is meeting people for the first time especially at meets cos i trip over my words and can't think of anything interesting to say. most conversations last about a minute and then im back to wandering around the cars generally embarrassed and try to avoid conversation again. its a bit of a social problem with me. i love the cars and im a total petrol head but to interact with the human race i find is the most difficult thing for me. think im becoming a agrophobic ! :shock: perhaps i just don't have must in common with most fo…

Ok so after a few weeks trying to source a gearbox and ordering one for £350 which didn't arrive after two weeks and finally getting my money back and finding another low mileage one (30k miles) almost fitted when the gearbox chap tells me the starter is well and truly ****ed!!!! Another two days after i should have had the car back he gets a new starter (as the old one was not refurbishable!!!!) and fits it. Tells me it's all ok and engaging in all gears ok. Good news is it's now very quiet and as the old one sounded like reverse in 1-3 i am very pleased! However he did tell me he found a very small piece of metal on the drain plug which is something …

Thinking about getting some 19in Kahn wheels. Spoke to Kahn and they tell me to use 8.5 all round, 9.5 won't fit on the rear. Is this correct? I notice most people here are using staggered sizes. They told me the offsets are between 33 - 38.

Just found this on PistonHeads http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/296731.htm I see its got a 300zx.co.uk sticker in the window. Anyone recognise it? Nick

Mine is a Jspec and according to the online manual it takes 1.5 litres where as a European model takes 2.1 litres. I take it the European model takes more because of the cooler, am I correct ? CheerZ Paul

Happy Birthday Mate, Hope youve had ya Z repaired! :D :duffer: :duffer: :duffer:

Ok I have decided to have my wheels refurbed and i want spacers to bring them out a bit to make them look better, However i cannot decide what finish to go for, ideally chrome would be nice, but triple plated chrome would cost £1100, I was thinking maybe either white, bronze or a glossy silver... any suggestions and/or opinions would be great, thanks guys, Dan

Hi the cruise actuator on my late 92 TT jap auto has died. the actuator motor runs but doesn't produce any vacuum. The cruise ECU checks out ok on the diagnostics. Does anyone have a working actuator for sale? I've seen 2 different part numbers on oem-surplus.com, mine is 18910 40P00. Does anyone know how many different types there are? Also does anyone know if they are fixable, is there a diaphagm inside? cheers

:rant: :rant: :rant: What's wrong with kids these days? Picked up my daughter from school today and while driving towards my house noticed a couple of kids standing on the side of the road next to a pile of leaves. You guessed it, just as I came up on them one kicked a huge pile into the air and smack onto my windscreen! Slammed on the brakes as I couldn't see a thing, jumped out of the car to give chase but the little sh*ts hightailed down the paths between the houses and disappeared. I was so PO'd I could barely speak! Took me 5 minutes to dig all the leaves out of the cowl and to hose it down. Feel like waiting for them tomorrow after school but would probably end…

SAW A GREY ZX PARKED UP IN STOTFOLD k300R**,AND SAW SAME CAR IN BALDOCK SERVICES ON THE A1 ON SUNDAY, ANYBODY FROM HERE.

i've got to sell my z, i didn't realize how much worse on fuel it was going to be than my other jap turbo cars, i've only had her about 3 months and i'm gutted to be selling but the sad fact is i can't afford to run it let alone fix it if it went wrong. i love the noise and have considered an na swb but after the turbo i think it will just be a dissapointment. :(

http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=74212 I havn't replaced the diff oil yet :slap: :mac1: But yesterday I noticed it real bad in the wet, cruising at 60mph down a dual carriage way in 5th, applied about 1/2 throttle and it really shifted over to the left on the rear. I slowed for the rest of the journey. Got to work and checked the rear wheels, driver side fine, passenger side real low tyre pressure i.e. that low it didn't evern register on me mates cheapo fag light inflator. Could this still point to diff or somethong eles ? Any advice on what diff oil :nelson: CheerZ Paul
