can anyone tell me where to find the lock number for getting new keys cut? the locksmith rekons it should either be a small sticker with a 4 digit number prefixed by an x or a y or stamped on one of the lock barrels

I've just been reading some 300zx turbo reviews, lots of talk about 'great for sunday, but too unreliable for everyday' Seems people will think me mad, if i use mine as my daily driver. :tongue: So....Who here uses their zed frequently, or all the time?

Im thinking of putting a double-din sat nav unit in my zed but cant find a double din fascia to replace the standard single one. Can anyone help????

Just think how much the lights on the EuroStar look like they've been modeled off our Zeds! Wonder if with a bit of fabrication you could fit them to a Z!

Just driving back from my grandpas and saw from the corner of my eye a red 300zx with really nice alloys at 9.10pm on Abbey Lakes Pub Car Park in Orrell (Wigan). I think it was a fairlady as the fog light was on and it was stuck to the bottom of the bumper. Was it you???

Will I have to change the chip when the conversion is done? I remember john dixon asking me when i bought it had I an auto or manual, i don't understand the difference.

I'm having my car resprayed within the next month - colour change. My preference is to have the front and rear glass removed for a quality job. What have other people done? My windscreen is chipped - so i'll get it replaced under insurance. But, if I have the rear window removed are the (expensive) seals re-usable or will they need replacing?

Hi myaircon has recently died and a test showed the condenser (radiator) is leaking from the core. Bubbles can be seen when detergent is used to leak test it. Nissan have quoted £340+VAT for a new one and I can't find anyone who does a pattern part. Can anyone help with a cheaper alternative?? cheers

Hi mate was that you i was beside on the slip road off the a A3 today? You went down the A243 towards dorking. I was driving the big blue and silver Carry Gently lorry that tooted you. :)

Had a trawl through old posts, and can't turn up much about running in an engine following rebuild... discussed briefly here: running in but no definitive answers... so: How many revs for how many miles? What oil/ frequency of change? Revving without load good to bed rings? any other useful info?? If we can keep it to proven methods it's be good, and could probably make a good FAQ. Rich

The small fan fitted inside the roof panel I thought was for sensing the cars cockpit temperature and adjusting the heater blower accordingly to maintain a consistant temperature. Is this correct and does it also apply when running your aircon. When I put my aircon into 'auto' mode, it blows a gail all of the time and then freezes your nuts off. Should it be also controlled by this roof fan.

We are often asked why don’t you do an article on Gear Oils? Well, an article would be very complex but here are the answers to a few FAQ’s that we have had over the years. What does API GL mean? API stands for American Petroleum Industry and GL stands for Gear Lubricant, see below for their definitions: API GL-1 Straight mineral oil API GL-2 Mild EP for worm gears API GL-3 Mild EP for spur and spiral bevel gears in axles and transmissions API GL-4 Medium EP, MIL-L-2105 quality, moderate severity hypoid gears, manual transmissions API GL-5 High EP, MIL-L-2105D quality, all hypoid axles, some manual transmissions API GL-6 Extra high EP, now obsole…

I recently changed my oil and have since noticed a Tappet noise. I think I'm going to be opening the old oil debate but I put in 5/50 fully synthetic. I wanted to get 10/50 or 10/60 semi synthetic but these are difficult to get hold of. Do you guys think that the Synthetic stuff is too thin?? evn though it meets the Spec. I never had this noise before changing the Oil so am wondering whether to Swop it for another grade. Your thoughts, Jase
