Just to let those know who are waiting to hear from Danny at the mo, he had to suddenly fly out to Holland on Monday for serious family reasons, he is back in the UK tonight and will see to all the PM's and emails etc. cheers smithy

I've just put the engine back in the Z and I am in the process of putting the prop/exhaust etc back on. I am trying to bolt the torque converter and fly wheel back together but when I turn the engine to move the flywheel the torque converter moves as well, how do I stop it turning so I can line up the bolt holes??

Hi Anyone tried using the Ultimate 102 fuel yet ? What results in a TT ?

Anyone got one of these?? it looks pretty straight forward to fit apart from one bit which is 2 lil pins, i'm assuming they stich in the bottom and they are for turning off the indicators, but there are several holes they could fit in and i'm not sure if that is what they are for.

having been looking around for the last few weeks for new wheels as 2 of my old ones have cracked and they look very tatty (they are old and came on the car) i think i have decided to go with the same size and company but different style the new ones are compomotive PS 17 8 1/2" rear with 3 1/2" polished lip and 8" front 2 1/2 lip cost shipped to dublin without tyres 1,550 for the set as regards colour of spokes there is a choice of silver, gold, black, white or pewter grey, which do you think would look best on a red car, they have some other lovely wheels but they said this model is the only one suitable for a z32 fitment i cant do links, so if an…

Hey all, My car's been standing for about 3 wks and when i went to move her last night brake peddle went straight to the floor :shock: The brakes did engage but only when peddle hit the floor :smash: I checked the fluid and it was low but still above the minimum in the reservoir, so toppped it up and pumped the pedal but still nothing and fluid level has dropped.......No visible signs of leaking fluid. :confused: Now this has happened once before, last year, same circumstances on returning from holiday but after a bit of driving and lots of pumping of the pedal then brakes did return and continued to work until last night. I'm suspecting possible seals in…

just back from dublin where myself and Trish(tulip) went to see this car as i wanted some interior bits from it. we were a bit shocked to find it was a manual slicktop n/a badly neglected now being broken. no crash damage or anything, just a coil and propshaft problem a few months back . since then it has been hacked and pulled at and in a very sorry state. seems to have been hoisted by a forklift or something as both sides of the roof are badly dented in exactly the same place. Been sprayed a very weird colour too, was originally grey. we thought it an awful shame to see a rare z like this broken up

Hi all,when i`m under the motor checking the afore mentioned,if either is bust will it be obvious to the eye i.e hanging loose or in a certain position or is it a bit more difficult to tell? cheers in advance. :D

My cars a 91 jdm model and has a matal fairlady z badge just below the n/s repeater.ive only ever seen this on one other car in exactly the same place.Does anybody else have one or can anybody shed any light on these.are they rare or perhaps most people have removed them??

Hi,this is my first thread so im hoping someone can help. When I start my jap spec 96 NA fairlady a squealing noise comes from under the bonnet . Some times it is just for a second but more often it is for longer. Sometimes it does'nt do it at all. The squealing stops when the fan starts up. I have had the belts replaced and adjusted but its starting to drive me mad now. Anyone had the same problem?

Thanks all

HELLO ALL! This forum has cost me already, but brought a smile to face... I did it, I finally did it! 300ZX all the way baby, yeah! So I've owned one of these babies years ago, but had to sell it (UK/95/LWB/AUTO/RED). I only had it for a few months but it's one of only two cars I have ever really loved owning. I said I'd be back and now I am BACK... BACK IN BLACK!!! JAP/94/LWB/AUTO/BLACK!!! So after carefully studying your forum I took the plunge on Monday, but... I was sneaky and you are all gonna hate me for this, but I hedged my bets by going halves on it with a friend! nice, huh? :cool: I loved the zed for a simple reason, it's a pleasure to drive. I live in Lon…

.....As you may have noticed I was selling my car. I had a bit of interest but due to the drop in popularity nothing fruitful. Anyway its been parked up for the last month or so and today I put some petrol in it started it up and took it round the block. Getting it ready for MOT. (on my private road of course). God, I'm really glad it didnt sell. :D

i just need a point in the right direction, the hose that comes of my AIV has come off (the top one) it T's off, one end goes down but i dont know where the other is ment to go to, the cars a mannual tt uk, if it makes a difference, anybody help? and while im on the subject whats does it do? cheers in advance

after nearly 7 months my zed is finally back on the, now wet road! wohoo! :smash: :cool: :hyper: with her new rebuilt engine she now pulls like a train and purrs like a lion, an absolute dream to drive! cant wait to get her properly run in so i can pump the boost up and really get the wisecos working hard :) i also bought her some 99 spec rears, a quad exit exhaust to replace the silly kakimoto single exit thing, new steering wheel so i can throw the 'rather interesting' wooden number as far as possible! shes got a full carputer setup with an 8" screen that i am fabricating in the din slots... all in all.. HAPPY DAYS!! :hyper: ZEDDING again after…

Hello, I seem to have lost reverse gear on my manual Z32 gearbox? No matter how hard I try to get it in gear, it won't go. It was driving fine before hand in all gears, no knocks or bangs :confused: Anybody got any ideas please?

Are R32 springs the same as the Z32 spring. I know all the camber alinement gear is the same and I've seen aftermarket spring kits saying Z32 and R32 fitment. Want to be sure though.

:cry: :cry: Just got a phonecall... "Mr Mitchell, I'm really sorry... your 300zx has just failed it's MOT" "On what, I thought it would sail through?" "Front headlight bulb......Rear Brakelight bulb.....one numberplate bulb.... and a front tyre" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I almost had a heart attack! Just got to get some insurance now!

I have 2 rear panels spare, both have odd fractures in, sometime they show bad other times you just cannot see it at all ? Anyone else had this ?
