Guys, I need to clean or replace my HKS mushroom filter. Does anyone know if it's just a washout and re-oil or do I need to replace it. Does anyone know who sells replacement filter cartridges? Cheers.

Right guys, still looking for a Zed, been monitoring the prices, for what I have seen so far and quoted by a couple of importers this seems a fair price. Any feedback welcome, gazwoz should have his cars ready soon for sale soon. Cheers. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/300zx/stunning-nissan-300zx-fairlady-twin-turbo-manual--26000-miles-since-new/5414664?v=b

I just got a manual 75' 280Z today the first year of the 280 not sure if it's going to be a parts car or project! Once I have my mechanic inspect the quarter panel damage we'll see. I'll be posting pics soon. I was at one of my employee house dropping him off and bam it was just sitting there looking helpless! He had gotten it in a trade with a 97 Buick lesabre and a old pickup for work from another job 2 years ago. He's old school gent that thought he wanted to restore it and now I'm the dummy that wants too I think! LOL.

I feel I need new wheels, sooner rather than later. I currently have a set of fuel 6s. I painted them gun metal a few years back but they need a refurb. They arnt the style I want really and is like something simpler. So what are they worth? They were about £650 new, I didn't pay this. Ideally I'd like to swap them. I need 18s though as my brakes won't fit behind anything else. Real pain in the ass, I'd go back to stock for a while otherwise. To sell these save then get what I want. Every time I look at the car though I feel disappointment with them.

i need to make some intercooler ducts out of sheet alu what i want to know is that thickness to use is 1mm or should i use 2mm or 3mm

Hi guys Hopefully looking to get back into a zed. Gonna start and stockpile on parts for my perfect zed!! Quick question for the wheel techs, would 18 x 9 and 18 x 10 wheels with both offsets at +22 be OK on standard zed arches? Thanks in advance

What was you're first car? Comment it down below and hopefully with a picture mine is a 1994 slicktop 300zx fully stock except the radio Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I connected my laptop to my car and got these results: This is with my demist front screen thing on, temp set to 30C This is with the demist thing in the off position This is my friends Z working perfectly My O2 sensor seems to be broken as it never changed from 0.04V. On top of that my IACV-AAC/V reading only changes from 25-27% when the demist is on/off. My car hesitates when sharply pressing the gas. It almost stalls when you try to do a spirited start. Im hoping someone can look at this and suggest a route to take. Im thinking that the O2 sensors and the idle air control valve need replacing and testing the car again…

Well my turn has come where the dash starts to lift by the screen vents so I will be looking at taking the dash out at the end of the show season ,is there any tips on repair once its out ,im thinking glue and bull dog clips till it sets ,dash looks easy to remove think I could do it in a day what you all think

Hi all.Now the car has clocked up 71000 miles im looking at changing the cambelt as im not sure of previous history and if this has been done in past.Im drawing up a list of could/should bits to replace and any more info would be welcome,Currently the plan is replace following..Power steering belt,Alternator belt.Cambelt,water pump...Underdrive pulleys for lighter ones?.Anything else i should be looking at?

OK, so apparently my fog light wasn't working today for the MOT, so the garage tried to fix this by checking the wiring. The wiring seems OK, so I said I would bring it home and check all the fuses. Have done that and still can't fathom what is wrong. Now I have no side lights. Have checked the appropriate fuse and it is fine so I am a little perplexed. No sides, no fog, but yet have mains. Any thoughts?

it was a year ago today that our much loved roobarb passed away. a true z enthusiast and committed member until the end, attending meets and shows as long as she was able. as mentioned on the original thread, there will be a roobarb award in her name at the Coventry meet. gone but not forgotten. x

Finally the weather clear up and got a chance to film a quick sound clip of the new (to me) exhaust. Hope you all like it.

Ok so before I commit to anything this year i need to make sure my car is tip top mechanical condition. First question is do NA rear disks fit a TT. I have aftermarket wheels with a bigger offset if it makes a difference. If yes then will they be okay if they have been sat for ~6months and have some surface rust but i would prefer to use them as they are slotted. (will the integrity of the disk be compromised are being sat?) Roughly how much will a full set of disks and pads be? Should i get ceramic pads or some upgraded ones? What tyres for strictly road use? And finally I need a pair of front coilovers as one of mine is cracked if anyone has…

hello, So being a numpty I may have broken my airbag. Taming the wheel off, I missed the lower connector which connets the wheel to the airbag thing behind the wheel and when I pulled the wheel off a trail of ribbon fell onto my lap..... I have wound it back up and clipped it on again, but I am wondering if this has now blows my airbag stuff up... bit worried to reconnect teh wheel and battery now! Not really sure how an airbag sensor works.... Any advice?

Hmmm am I being too suspicious or has this got "STOLEN" written all over it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/car-spares-/231873354456?hash=item35fcba9ad8:g:VbIAAOSwYlJW4cnY :lol:

So when I drive my car (left hand side steering wheel I live in Canada) there is random radio noise on the left no words just weird radio sounds and it's only on the drivers side speaker the 2 back and the passenger speaker doesn't make any sound does this mean I have a busted speaker or does it mean it's the radio itself I bought the car not to long ago and it had a new radio in it could it be the wires are sort of disconnected Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Guys ive got a TT Auto and it seems like its idling on 5 cylinders then when you drive it over a certain rpm it seems ok until im waiting at lights or junction and the revs drop to which its lumpy again and some times stalls. What should I be checking that could cause this issue.......Car was serviced tonight with all fluids/filters & plugs but no difference? Thanks Taff

Looking at it from all sides but still nor sure if I like it. Would need to see one in front of me but until then :thumbdown:

Gents, here is another one of those rare opportunities of getting your hands on an extremely hard to find, awesome quality and great sounding exhaust for the Z32. It is for a LWB and it is used. CLICK ME!!
