These are sided and one side costs about $50 more than the other! Taking both sides out of the packet they are both of equal length and the only difference is the placement of a little plastic clip, 90% of the time the point this clips into is knackered anyway! Saving you a couple of quid :)

Coming up from Motherwell, turning right at the roundabout..... ..... ...... heading up muirhouse. I though someone had knicked mine!! :tongue:

About 2 weeks ago..... Can't be many scottish ones up here....

Thanks for your welcome but I also need your help and advice... I have a problem in that the car, an auto, won't let me accelerate hard and won't go past 3000 rpm and can stall. I am a slight technophobe but have considered the MAF, it may have got damp recently, I have tried to dry it out but the problem persists. It also has an Apexi filter if that helps. Thanks

Can anyone tell me a mail order parts shop where i can get hold of the gaskets i need to fit standard turbos back onto my engine. Many thanks. :smash:

Hi, Does anyone now where I can get some decent mesh for the front bumper vents? Bought some from Halfords and it's a bit flimsy. Went and looked in B&Q wasn't too impressed with theirs either. Any ideas? Cheers Vijay

Hi Guys, I'm a new guy on this forum and I've signed up as I'm thinking of buying a SWB 300ZX. I've got a few questions, so I hope that you can help. Firstly I'd like to know in which years the SWB was produced. From what I've found out so far the 300ZX was produced in Japan all the way up to 2000, but I'm not sure if that included the SWB? Also, were the slicktops produced in the same years as the targas or did they have separate production runs? Lastly, for the time being, are there any recommended importers/dealers that are good to go to for a car? Many thanks in advance for your help. VladD.

Hello, I have owned my 300 for a little while but never registered, so hello again!

There are some rubbery strips on the bodywork, namely below the windows, between the windows and the targa tops, and along the sides of the windscreen. On mine it is rather messy and discoloured, as show in the pics below: I'd like to neaten it up. The car is black. Do i need some special type of paint to do this, as i can imagine that normal paint will just flake off, what with the rubberiness? Are there any other suggestions, or ideas, something other than black? Wouldn't want to be too garish though. Cheers.

hello, as a trader on this site I am unhappy to advise that Ztech have changed ownership and no one seems to be able to get hold of Ryan, I am abroad and when I spoke to him last week he told me that part of the contract in selling the company was he that had to pay me which he hasnt, he is nowhere to be found and owes me a reather large sum into the thousands. At present I have steam coming out of my ears, over the last year i have tried to help him as best as I can, and helped him through what I thought was a difficult situation, i have spoken to his brother who apparantly doesnt know where he is, and am not happy at all. I have seen the post has been closed for ztech, …

hi zed mates can anybody tell me where i can get the illuminated " 300zx " rear lights from or where i can get them repaired. any info would be appreciated thanks bigmo

Hi, does anyone know the standard front and rear spring height for the 300zx. I have been given a pair, which i am told are lowering springs and lower the car by about 40mm, but i want to make sure they are not standard... Thanks John

ive just had a bit play with the data scan and it came up with a code 53 (right hand 02 sensor), the left sensor was going up and down, the right one was stuck at about 30 odd also noticed that the tps is set at 0.42v, is this ok or should it be 0.45v, how would i do this using the consult (if i can) gonna have a bit more play with it later, am reading the manual at the moment, hopefully get somewhere with this fookin car of mine lol

hi im a newbie from Neath in South Wales , ive got a Swb auto and the box is knackerd , im thinking about doing a conversion to manual , what is needed ? im a mechanical engineer and have done engine rebuilds on vtec engines etc is this too much off a job to take on ? Cheers for any input Stu

going down the road past KFC, I was rather wrecked but it sounded sweet

When i finally get the zed back im going to treat it to a new exhaust to get rid of the ugly single exit kakimoto thing! The exhaust im getting is available with either an 'x-pipe' or a 'h-pipe'... Can any1 advise on what the differences would be between the 2?... sound?... performance? The 'h-pipe' is marginally more expensive than the 'x-pipe' but it does state that... 'Our resonated h-pipes feature the use of larger, quieter, and more costly resonators than that of an x-pipes resonator'... so i guess this is the reason for that.

Heres a little guide whilst I serviced mine. I was trying to locate a rattle noise that has been annoying me for the past few weeks, this was like a ticking noise behind the glove-box only with the fan on low speed and as the car was pulling away in low gear. 1: Remove glove-box so you can see more, also remove the plastic trim that is underneath the glove box. You might not need to do this to get the motor out but i did it anyway. 2: You'll be able to see the blower fan housing on the left. look underneath to fine the motor part which is held on with 3 screws. Disconnect the harness plug and also there is a little black ribbed tube. Mine had a rubbe…
