perhaps a silly thread but can anyone tell me if the short wheel base modesl of the 300zx are more sought after or not and if so do you ultimatly pay for it in the price they go for. just wondered how they compared as I don't belive i've ever seen one. cheers Paul

shall i fix the gearbox in my tt and sell it to buy an n\a or shall i fix it and keep let me know your views

Looking on ebay and found these. any one got them, or something similar. what are they like on standard shocks, or will they need changing as well? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180172856787&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=008

Just wondered if top gear ever reviewed the 300, seen it raced a few times. Would like to know what they thought of it

Found these on ebay, say they are from a group off here. Are they as good and as easy to fit as they say? Also aint there ment to be a sensor on them?

the zed needs a new clutch so i thought id change the flywheel while im there to get it out of the way... as they are so highly spoken of i was always set that i would buy the rps street clutch with the rps flywheel... however, whilst browsing the z1 webby for other clutch and flywheels i noticed this z1 clutch and flywheel combo. it claims to be better than its rps rival whilst maintaining a lighter pedal and its cheaper. my question is, does any1 have any experience with these clutch/flywheels and can any1 offer any advice as to whether they really are a 'better buy' all round than the rps versions. fair enough the are cheaper and supposedly better but wi…

I have been mucking about with my main fusebox by the RHS of engine bay. When i turn on the lights i just get the LHS headlight (as you look at the car) working with both the main and full beam on no matter the indicator stork setting. After poking around i have spotted that i think i have pulled out the wire that goes to the 15A fuse for the RHS lights. Looking at the manual this headlight also controls the dipped beam so makes sense that this is on. could someone quickly have a look at what colour the wire is that goes into this fuse and even where it follows through to because i cant seem to see it. The way the lights are labelled the LHS headlight as y…

Ok then chaps, whats the best way to tackle this, cleaned the plenum up abit but would really like to chincey it up abit, or is it that ive gotta do an american chopper and "send it to the chromer" ?? Cheers in advance.

shhh..... before anyone comments on they are Chav etc. they can look good if done right. Any suggestions to good looking sun strips for the Zed. Z1 do a nice one.

where d i get uprated cams? Links any any reasons why certain ones are better than others would be greatly appreciated Thanks

The lights on my Zed are OK ish but I'd like to upgrade from 'yellow' light to pure white and brighter - what's the score?

My gear box went with a rather large ploom of smoke last night. Its had a nasty vibration and a very bizzare hesitation for a while now. It was selecting gears fine and holding power in gears, it didn't throw up any probs on the computer either. Anyway, whilst giving it a bit of right foot on the m25 last night the bottom seal went and pissed oil all over the exhaust. I didn't know what it was at the time so i was out of the car, fire extinguisher in hand as quick as possible, lol!!! Looks like a new box for me!!!

spent most of the day flat on my back taking the foglights out so i could fit my white led sidelights i also fitted my hid's and as i fitted the crystal indicators a while back they had an extra bulb holder in the sides so i wired those up to the sidelights ...dead easy just scotchlock onto the wires for the sidelights and run a wire round to the other bulb holders all i need now is some more led bulbs ( which are on order ) to complete the front light set up i think it freshens the front end up and once im out of traction ill take her for a spin in the dark lol

After 5 years of trouble free motoring using the Z as a daily drive it's failed the MOT for brake pipes. Took it to my usual friendly(seem to have a bit of interest in cars) MOT station only to discover that the guy who ran it has sold up to some bunch that want to make some money flogging repairs and tyres. It failed on corroded brake pipes, although I think they probably mistook some of the brake pipes for power steering pipes as a few days later they started leaking power steering fluid! So it's Z off road, do the job right, replace all the brake pipes and power steering pipes! Looked at it decided it's not a weekend job so have bought a super duper '98 Honda…

Please help!! Anyone know where I can get hold of a wiring diagram for a clifford 650??

I guess this comes up from time to time and a search will produce some stuff, but................ I have some bog standard pretty awful speakers in my Zed. I have an Alpine header which is excellent. I want to change the 4 speakers (no tweeters anywhere I assume?) So what is a good combo? I want good bass response from the rear set and a pair of good range 2-way spks for the front. What's the smart money on? I don't mind enlarging the apetures a tad to acommodate slightly larger ovals. cheers Chris
