A red Z waiting in traffic by Bognor bridge roundabout in Chichester at about 2.00 today. I gave a beep and a wave!

Is there a fellow Zed owner in the Marham, Swaffam area who's car I could possibly take a look at? Problem finding the location of all the vacuum lines post engine fit on tt. ta

As I posted before, my ZED chucks its water out when I give it some stick. I thought the system was pressurizing from either a crack in the head or block. BUT, today I got round to running it up and putting a Block Tester on it, this proved negative, No gas in the water. :hyper: Now, I've been wracking my brain and realised that this problem started after I fitted a lightened and smaller underdrive pulley so the pump isn't turning so quickly. the engine runs fine, sweet as, no misfire or any other tell tale sign of a crack in the cylinder area. Has anybody else had cooling probs due to underdrive pulley or a weak water pump?? The temp gauge does not go over …

Who had their's off today then?? What a nice day it was for a blast through the Buckinghamshire countryside in the ZX......Tops off with the rocking sounds of Alter Bridge in the CD player and empty country lanes for miles and miles.....:hyper: We had lunch at Claydon House, then finished up with a walk round Stowe Gardens, near Buckingham. Richard :cool:

Not bad for a 17 year old car, replaced the rear steering arms and outer ball joints and replaced the front anti roll bar mountings , these were advised last year as being worn but not a single advisory on anything this year :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: LONG LIVE THE ZED :bow: :bow:

Hello and good evening! Could anybody help me with possible causes of my clutch pedal travelling all the way to the floor with no resistance and i`m also unable to select gears,fluid seems ok in reservoir,has been bled because was being a bit of a git to change before, this helped, has been ok some times and a sod the next.I`m thinking more air somewhere maybe? Even pivot ball or clutch fork? All suggestions gratefully received..oh and tough luck France! :p

My N/A has developed a missfire..... On the journy home it cleared after, 1/2 a mile? Anyway seems more consistant now, ive pulled all the connectors off and each one makes a change in noise apart from the one at the back on the right of the engine, as u look at it, Behind all the pipes etc.... I managed to get a knife between the pipes and prize the connector off, if this isnt creating a change in noise is that likely to be the problem zone? Is getting to this connector hard? being behind loads of crap, if so Theres no way i can try a diff coil pack as im a total newbie. Any ideas?

With bodykit and spoiler and some initials stenciled on the right hand rear.

How the hell do you get these of without knackering them, i can only get one off, lol the rest are stuck fast. any tricks i should no about. Cheers

My son bought a new turbo, GT3082 ball bearing. It arrived and we thought that maybe we had been sold a Chinese copy. I spoke to Turbo Technics, they could not have been more helpful. My son took it over there Saturday morning and the owner Jeff Kershaw had a look and set my sons mind at rest. All for no charge and no profit to them. Good old fashioned nice people. They will always be my first call in the future for anything turbo related.

Im not sure if you guys can answer my question or let me its true or not but the other day i found a guys personal 300zx page by accident (i was trying to goto the http://www.z32-zone.com website to check prices) and come up with this site www.z32.com Not sure if anyone on here has be to this site or not but he has a few scans of pictures from the 99spec Bochure and i just wanted to ask if any of the material in those photos were actually in the 99spec model zeds?? In this photo im curious to know if the door sills are chrome or painted silver and does the 300zx logo light up??? And what about the Shifters were these optional extras for the 99spec??…

Engine was taken out 3 weeks ago by a very good mechanic but sadly he has had to leave the refit for three weeks and is now finding it a nightmare sorting all the vacuum and sensor rubber lines. I've looked at the manual but the pictures are rubbish. Anyone Know where else to look? TT. If there is a Zed in the Norfolk(Swaffam,Downham market area) that we could possibly have a look at could you let me know, I will reward. Many thanks :smash:

dude you may want to pop round have got some gooooood jobs going at the mo including twin electric fans and an alternative gas lift for the bonnet :hyper:

Ok First off my name is Asim hey everybody im 21 years old (22 in january getting old) love jap motors, my uncle has always had jap cars and i just cant get enuff. Having not owned one jap motor yet and having the money to buy one now my first choice was a r33 gtr, however a decent one was gonna set me back about 4 grand over my budget. I had worked out for insurance and the car but of 4 grand fully comp on a standard car cheapest was 3500 standard car even adrian flux and a few others couldnt get it cheaper than that as me being first driver with 4 points. So the next best thing a twin turbo 300zx and ive already checked the insurance 1500 quid fully comp point …

looking at autobox/oil cooler kit from z center. Is this east to fit? anyone got a pdf or own they can mail me? Also pcv valves/hoses where do I buy how to fit? One more...... boost gauge. deceided on a swoosh psi one are they easy to put in anyone any guides. All or any help would be appreciated

I am putting a warning up to all those who were part of the group buy on the indiglo dials. My main speedo cluster stopped lighting up the other day. I finally got a chance to investigat the problem today and found the problem. where the connections join the dial, it has cracked and kind of melted! The problem is the connection is a little too big to fit in the housing so it needs to be bent slightly. I will be contacting MyGarage to arrange a replacement as soon as I can but I thought that I am unlikely to be the only person affected by this. I thought I should add some pics for those that are interested...

oh dear oh dear oh dear, Right then, who can tell me if me turbo is fooked. only got the stock boost gauge, but upon turning on the ignition the needle no stays to the far left, and when i drive the car it doesnt move either, ecu is code 55. I think the off side one has gone. But is there a way i can really tell, apart from lack of power, got aload of smoke out the back when i rev the engine up, Regards Dave

I have a technical question ! I did the modification to headlights today so that my HID dipped beam stays on when I put on full beam....however it resulted in the HID dipped beam flashing on when I flash my full beam too. This is no good, as will severly shorten the life of my HID's. I want full beam only to flash when my headlights are off....and for my dipped beam to stay on when I flash with headlight on. I did it my earthing the middle pin (5) of the Headlight dimming relay in main fuse box. I got the same result by just earthing one of the HID dipped beam earth wires. is there another way ?

as title says ;-)

After years of searching I think I may have found the cheapest and best quality restorer. It works on 'that grey bit in your front bumper', Window seals well basically anything that is palstic/rubber based (On your car before anyone tries anything they really shouldn't!!) It is called: Meguiar's Gold Class Trim Detailer. I'm not one for following instructions but I'd advise doing so with this stuff as it does give the best results. Unfortunately the only place I have seen it is Halfrauds, but then again it was only about £6. :D
