Seen parked there for a little while, not sure if local, broken or dumped?

Ok this is not a new item for inspection having seen many cracked front arms where the tension road arm fixings pass through but the level of damage to this arm is a first for me and it has been a good while since seeing something so bad and dangerous. Forced by oncoming traffic to go kerb side whilst driving through a pot hole and the owner of this zed hear a loud crack and then the steering went very odd feeling, inspection found the nearside wheel pushed way back and rubbing the back end of the front wheel arch. The failure coincided with a requirement for 4 x new discs and pads so a good time to sort it all out at the same time, today`s sunshine provided a p…

Hi all, this winter I'll probably take out my engine to overhaul the turbo's. As the engine will be out I'll change alle gaskets, o-rings, oilseals, vacuum line's etc.. Now I can find a lot of all this things on E-bay. I was wondering if these were good quality or should I buy everything at a Nissan dealer? Same thing for al the silicon hoses, I see they mostely come from china, any good or better not to buy them? Greetz, Mike

Opinions required please, team :) I'm debating losing my boot spoiler and having the shaved look... I know that Shorties can pull it off far better than the estate version can, but I'm just looking to hear some "for or against" opinions. Cheers :thumbup1:

I'm looking into getting a Momo autoshift knob with the release button on top and I will relocate the overdrive button. http://m.ebay.com/itm/MOMO-Automatico-Black-Shift-Knob-MOMO-/281956142739?_trkparms=aid%253D222007%2526algo%253DSIC.MBE%2526ao%253D1%2526asc%253D20150519202348%2526meid%253De812b1104ebc4e97b674022001039c98%2526pid%253D100408%2526rk%253D4%2526rkt%253D6%2526sd%253D111918821607&_trksid=p2056116.c100408.m2460 I really would like this knob but it doesn't have a button to change gears. http://m.ebay.com/itm/MOMO-COMBAT-EV....c100408.m2460 I've read of people changing it by pressing down on the knob like many cars to change BUT are there any cons …

Help needed! My Z has just lost auto transmission drive! With lots of ATF on the drive! Looks like the fluid is is spilling from front Right of engine/radiator looking at Z from the front! Highcas light came on too! Is there a pipe there? How much do I need to strip out? Is it better to go from under the car taking the bottom shroud off? It's not the pump or any pipes from the AT power steering side. Any thoughts, ideas, technical/mechanical knowledge please. Before I start getting to work! Art213

I viewed it as a spared car for the 99spec bumper but walked away thinking it probably wasn't worth more than £800 of anyones money! The speedo/electrics were completely shot, terrible interior, rust everywhere, sills gone, misfiring engine, and a page of MOT failures. It has obvisouly had a bit of work to get it through an MOT, but I would highly advise anyone to steer clear. I have viewed some poor Zeds over the years, but this was the worst. Best regard…

is anyone planing on ordering part or doing a group buy from the us ie concept or z1 in the month or so ?

Just seen these on Fbook, don't know if they're photoshopped or not but either way I think they look pretty cool:thumbup:

Here's the pics of the interior bits I have... Hydro dipped carbon fiber. What do you think?

Had to get a new battery today but seems the last owner has cut down one of the battery threaded rods, has anyone got one for sale

Just want to say thanks to everybody for good advice and suport. But too many shit bags taking advantage in the club . Goodbye

Anyone got a steering gator secretly lying around. Need one for mot. It got picked up last yr but now finished. I remember Jeff saying a vauxhall one fitted. Any ideas please. Cheers all!!! Jonce

anyone seen the 60k 300zx hard top / convertable on ebay and one of a kind that cost 80k to develop, woooh,

Saw you coming the other way in the snow. I was in my white zed trying to get to work I got 100 yds further up the Rd then turned round and came home . Loosing traction and crap traffic not worth the risk she's back on the driveway.......just with a lot of slithering and sliding fun though.

I was going to order something from the states for my 300 but turns out its nearly as much to ship it here as it is to buy it ,is anyone on here doing a large order from Z1 ?

What's involved in servicing an auto box? Is there anything worth doing other than changing the transmission fluid?

I recently bought a 300zx and it has aftermarket rear lights currently fitted. The car came with the standard lights and a centre panel but they are all looking a bit dull with some light scratches here and there. Iv seen modded clear rear lights and also cars with the 99 spec panel (which I have) but with the 300zx logo illuminated Does anyone do refurb/ conversion on here? Thanks, Dave

I get tick over smoke, from one exhaust, before I commit to buying new turbos from the US, and totally rule out the engine, (compression test results are ok) if I disconnect both pcv valves/tubes and so the block vents to atmosphere whilst the exhaust is smoking, if it was the engine thats worn in theory should the smoke from the exhaust stop?? Thanks

I'm considering whether or not to upgrade my suspension with adjustable parts. I currently only have MeisterR coilovers and I just bought a drift works total hi as delete. What products for people think I should go for / consider?

Don't know if any of you saw this already, but there is currently available from Japan a complete Veilside Evolution exhaust for a 2+0. If you know about this exhausts systems you know how hard they are to come across, you also know that finding one for a 2+0 is almost impossible, and brand new too? Unimaginable. http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f172121543 Thought you guys might like to see it or even buy it! Rob

Hi guys, having trouble with the clutch, I've replaced the slave cylinder but have gotten nowhere, the clutch pedal is up but is extremely soft with no real pressure / resistance, thinking of replacing the clutch master cylinder now. I've done a few searches regarding bleeding / replacing clutch system but I can't seem to find an actual master cylinder removal? Do I just empty the reservoir and then unbolt it, I don't have the top bleed valve on my car but have the braided line from the master to the slave, Is there a different way to bleed this setup? should I try bleeding it again or just bite the bullet and give Nissan ireland €120+Vat for a new master cylinder? The…

:sad: Ok! I have put this off as long as I can, but a decision needs to me made as to what I do with my LWB TT. The car has been sat on the drive (undercover) awaiting an engine change (big ends) and although I have purchased a spare engine (needs some valve work) and still have a number of performance upgrades which were going on it, I simply don't have the time or enthusiasm to undertake the work. I won't go into details but the last 18 months have been very difficult and every morning I look at this car and think it deserves so much better and as things stand I really need to free up space and cash to re invest into my new detailing business. So, given t…

I'm still in the market for a HKS ALC II or the first version. The other one that I thought I was going to buy was sold already!!! So please keep me in mind and help me locate one ASAP. Any leads will be appreciated. Thanks a million. The Ikon
