Hi all, i'm trying to remove my back brake discs but they appear to be welded on. I have removed the calipers and slackened of the handbrake but they won't budge, i thought these discs were floating so any ideas appreciated. I have given them a bash around the hub section with a copper mallet but nothing. Am i missing something.

Where on earth do people mount the ballasts, do i have to take the whole headlamp out or something???

Are the side indicators on the front wings a legal requirement? I know you have to have front and back but do you have to have the side ones?

As above, has anyone removed their roof trims and filled them in? Would really like to see some pics if anyone has any.

Under Bonnet Mirrors Hi people,i currently want to install some sort of underbonnet mirrors on my zed (LIKE THE PIC BELOW) Now i understand that mirrors are just for show and would break on daily driving So im thinking of getting a metal fabricator to laser cut some thin plates and getting them chromed My question is ,what do people do to have these in there car on a permanent basis,do they use mirrors,or cut and chromed plates, Also is there anywhere that sells this sort of thing ??????,thanks alot for any help ,Simon

How does yours turn on? Does it come on with the lights or when you open the door etc? jay

hi all, car is running nicely now and I am really enjoying it, I tried to get the aircon to work tho, I could only see one valve on the system near the dipstick hole, we charged the system thro that and system pumps, I can see liquid passing under the sight glass with no bubbles in it, but it has no effect on the temperature of the air blown into the car, any ideas anyone?? Thanks a lot Brian

just a quick post to see what mpg people are getting out of their zeds please list mods thanks kyle

Anyone know how to enter the HICAS Diagnostic mode? I have tried the way in the guide and cant get it to work :(

...........Is it because the price for a 300ZX has plummeted to almost the price of a decent Vectra that lots of people are breaking their 300's? I cant believe I posted a for sale and even dropped the price to £3500 and didnt even get a look (well one new bloke but nothing at all came of it.....Typical) I mean Ok it might not be everyones style but £3500 for a very low milage completely fault free TT and nothing. I aint moaning about that. Fook it I dont care I'll keep it. But I just cant imagine why they aint selling? I wouldnt break mine but there does seem to be one a week just lately. Just dont make any logical sense does it? Maybe its a gap that we have come t…

It's not my fault - I have been a Ford Capri person for 20 years. Never a Jap car - then this mate of mine went and sold his Capri 280 and got a Zed. Huh! I said. He'll be back for another 280. Then I saw his Zed and the doubts started coming thick and fast. No problem says I - this is something I can handle. Won't get to me I thought. So I find myself Googling 300zx instead of Capri - and all these visions appeared and forums and it all got too much. I even joined this forum, just browsing you understand. I mean who wants to be a member of the Worlds Biggest Youth Club I told myself. It's not decent, it's not right. Is it? So there it was - a 1994,…

White import going past b&q chelmsford,these cars have such a great presence always gets me :)

Sliver Zed in the car park at Chepstow race course. For the drift championships.

ive got an annoying creak from the rear suspension at low speed ,the shocks and springs are less than 2 years old ive had a quick look and cant see any wear in the the bushes ,its very dry in there so do i need to lub any thing up or is it some thing more serious ,cheers folks ,

Wheres the best place to look? I don't want to order something which won't suit. I'm looking for the twin pipes stainless steel that looks like the stock setup, but a bit bigger and shinier and will fit snugly into my rear bumper. Been looking at ebay not sure if any of these will suit, i'll try and find a pic to post up of what' im looking for. found this one on ebay, pretty cheap at £64 but it's the shape i'm after. Could anyone point me in the right direction? I know stillen did one like this but too expensive. most of the exhaust is off the car at the moment ,thats why i'm thinking of changing.

Well.. I think it was a Zed, had some pretty heafty bodywork modification. Each to their own! You were heading south, i was heading north in my grey LWB, at no mph... lack of fuel!

are any of the nissan v6 engine sensors compatible with the 300zx? if so which ones wouldn't mind a replacement ptu or a kock sensor if they are cheap to pick up. seems zx breakers these days want a lot of money of what are quite old components now. just my feelings

http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=100752 I'm now going to put my coilovers back on until i get some plates. When it rains it fu*king pours.

Hi guys and gals, I drove up to Norfolk today and met up with Andy to get some bits for my Z and I have to say, Top Bloke! He managed to sort all the bits I needed, and was really helpfull. Keep up the good work Andy! I was also quite a nice drive once I got out of London :-) Cheers

Whilst driving about in Yorkshirethe passenger side of the engine started to make a noise like a scalextric car with 415V up its arse. Well when i bring up the revs. Turbo power is half with the needle on the dash not going beyond half way. So is me turbo buggered and how much to replace? Bum grapes :(

todays plan was to: 1) calibrate my speedo correctly 2) a)replace my km/h to mph converter to see if this helped my power steering problem or b) do the resister replacement mod 3) remove the annoying reversing bleeper not going to plan so far: 1) where is the pot to calibrate the speedo??? any ideas how to adjust it without a pot, as it is way out since my manual conversion: 2) a)new km/h converter fitted - still got power steering problems so b) where is R10 that needs replacing., mine only go up to R5: 3) where the @**$@ is the reversing bleeper, i can hear it from somewhere behind the dash, found the lights left on / t…

Hi guys, Got my first Zed - 92 TT Manual in black. Really happy with it but i think i have a boost leak. On hard acceleration i can hear a hiss from the engine compartment when the boost kicks in. Dont think it wasw doing this when i got it. Also, when engine is warm the idle is a little rough at times. Someone mentioned that it could be o2 sensors? Does this sound right? Cheers guys, Andy
