Hi I have a slight miss on tickover. Replaced ptu with a series 4. I'm sure it must be one of the contacts on one of the coil packs. I have just ran the conzult power balance test and i have no idea what i am supposed to be looking for!! On one pass cylinder 2 was red and on another pass cylinder 5 was red. Can anyone give me any idea what im looking for? Thanks

Hi folks I'm using the powertrain of the 300zx in my project and have aquired a new engine wiring harness for the job. I can see where most plugs go as they only fit in certain plugs etc but I would dearly like to view under the bonnet of a ttzx just for comparison/reference. My aim is to simply take pictures, no intrusive work. I wonder if any member lives near richmond North yorkshire or can recomend somewhere to go. or even a wiring loom diagram for the engine harness. either would be a great help. thanks to any that can offer advice. cheers Paul :)

Hi, can anyone give me the phone no for any companies dealing in Gaskets for the Z32. I am getting an oil leak fixed, but Nissan have told the garage it may take 4 weeks to arrive :( All help appreciated

Hello mate, found this pic over on the Z Club, Nice angle! :bow:

I was quite content working away on the Z, a bit at a time, doing the job right and not rushing things, I was planning on doing all the bits that needed fixing over the rest of the year and putting it back on the road next spring.... now after being in yours I want it back on the road asap.... must resist or i'll just hash it all back together and regret it next year.

when a 300 tt was new in 1991 what was the top speed susposed to be ?? bhp , 0-60... anyone any ideas????

Hi guys, got hold of a full set of brake discs from ebay for front and back, not bad for the dosh. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-24V-TWIN-TURBO-GROOVED-BRAKE-DISCS-Z32_W0QQitemZ200150628878QQihZ010QQcategoryZ23013QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem need some good pads for them, been told the red stuff arent any good for the odd track day, told to get hawk pads. Does this sound about right. If so where can i get some and how much would i pay. thanks george

today saw you drive past me. i was in a black golf. you looked well pissed off!! :rofl:

Just thought I would let people know that this months Japanese Performance magazine has the 300ZX feature starring our very own FunkySi. It's a six page profile of the 300ZX and has lots of very good photos and write up. Go buy it now! We also get a good plug for the club as well! :cool: p.s. There is also a free Retro-Jap magazine included with it and the 300ZX is one of 8 cars listed as future classics (no sign of any Supras, Skylines or GTOs!!! :tongue: :duffer: )

Any advice on where i should look for a Z in the Yorkshire area? Obviously K-T-C is out of the question. Any one have any views on the other car centre in keighley? or are they the same company using different names? Thank you

Hi, Im currently looking at buying a 300zx TT. Have been after 1 for ages and finally got the cash. the only thing putting me off is the Toyota Supra. I do a lot of quarter mile runs. How easy is it to tune the 300? Am i looking at having to spend thousands just to get a few extra bhp? Sorry if these seem like stupid questions but i dont know much about the zx engine and its capabilities. Thank you

was in my van pulled over for u .. zoomed past :wack:

I am fitting a sub, amp and speakers in the boot area of my 300zx. Everything is going great except one thing. How on earth (excuse the pun) do you get the thick feed cable from the car into the engine bay??? There are no holes in the fire wall and the only way I can see it would be possible is down through the gear box bay and up under the car? I know loads of members have done this job so how did you cope please. Thanks vini

2.30 pm Gun Metal Grey zed, 6 pot lambo light convertion. Flashed at you i was in a Jeep Grand Cherokee, you waved back. Was it you?

Anyone know what the spec of these zx's were, there is a genuine one available in Japan at the moment which looks interesting...

Got some money sat in my paypal thanks to a nice gent on here buying some stuff off me, anyway I cant think what to spend it on. If i leave it there my wife will end up buying some rubbish for the house. Any ideas? Most of the tack off ebay i already have lol. Dont need a boost controller or Tubby timer, or wheels or suspension or bodykit or nismo gearknob lol.

Ordered a set from the states KYN GR2's really quickly delivered, but UPS ripped me off a bit. basically they are labeled $44 dollars in value, looks like customs messed up how much i needed to pay and charged me £15 duty and then ups charged a £11 surcharge. Thats £26 on what is effectivley a £22 item. but i have them now and they look lovely and shiney (unlike the rest of my car :))

zeddy is ill again, when running cold (well up for about 20 mins) she will not run smoothly at all... will keep throttle at a certain position when driving, and it will drop 500rpm for about half a second, then come back to life again. then it wont do it again for 30 seconds to a minute and do it again. when running for 15+ minutes the problem disapears. sorry for the vagueness, but just wondered what the fault may be before i look into it further?

Well, I dont quite know what to say. :hurl:
