Just come back from the IOW :cool: Im not sure if we have anyone hear from the IOW? But i saw 2 Z's while i was over there, one i saw on Wednesday (i think) driving through Shanklin, was Black with a round rear light conversion, had a bit of a squeek to lol. The other i see twice, first was evening time driving through Godshill, the second time was around lunchtime driving through Ryde. This was a yellow one with a tailgate skin. I must admit i'v only seen the yellow Z's in pics on here, but in person its a lovely colour, stunning Z!

Hi, replaced my injectors for 555 ones. Put it all back together and now I have fuel pressure but it will not start, if I put a plug in a coil there is no spark. Have checked all connections and I think they are all OK, however there were two that would swap over near the back of the plenum, did my best to get them right, but tried them both ways, no difference. When I crank it, it does not start, and then when I let go of the key the electric fan runs for a few seconds. I will look up how to do a diagnostic for tommorrow, but I am feeling stumped. Did a search and didnt find how to do a diagnostic on the ECU. I can check the various plugs for power, …

Hi Guys Thought i would let you know about the bargain brakes i Bought of ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-200SX-300ZX-GROOVED-BRAKE-DISCS-MINTEX-XTREME_W0QQitemZ200138558124QQihZ010QQcategoryZ23013QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem Have had em fitted for a few weeks now and feel they have bedded in enough to review. Discs : Quality of castings are very good and overall quality is very good, 40 grooves are not too noisy. Pads : Mintex extreme , took a while to bed in and took a medium cooking to get the best out of them, once that was done are performing very well Testing has involved a few 150mph to 0 stops on a private test track and have worked adm…

Hi My passenger side door has not locked for a while now with the central locking. The central locking I am controlling from the alarm key fob. You can see the door lock move inside the car when you press the lock button, but it does not move enough to lock the door. You have to push it in fully by hand to lock it. My drivers side door today has started doing the same thing. Again, the door lock is moving but just not quite enough, and again I have to push the lock in myself, but literally on the drivers side it is about 1mm that I push it in, then close the door and it will be locked. Is this just a case of the door motors being old and weakened over tim…

I'm just about to remove my bootlid and replace with a new one. Do I have to pull out all the T-bar lining to get at the nuts? And is there any pitfalls I should know about? Cheers Rob :)

:wack: I've looked at it.scratched my head+ only developed a bald spot, just how do you get the stereos out, without destroying the dash? Hope i dont have to resort to tying them to a lamppost+ driving off :tongue:

Advice please - I left my 91 300zx tt in to get seal changed in the engine as it was leaking oil. That was 3 months ago. Whilst its been in the garage i've been informed that it was in saftey mode and that the knock sensor needed replaced along with the oxygen sensors as they were broken. The garage is having problems getting one of the oxygen sensors although all of the other work has been completed. I'm being informed by the mechanic that the car isn't running and that the engine floods everytime he starts it. All of this is being blamed on the oxygen senor is this even possible? :(

Iv noticed that the back end of my Z wobbles, almost as if the hicas is all over the shop, I looked into it and found the HICAS hub that should be plugged into the steering wheel stashed under the dash! could this be the problem? I wouldn't have thought it would make the back and move about if it was in the same place though? But i dont know how the sytem works. Any ideas? or am i best getting a HICAS eliminator thing?, or could it be something else?

Red looked like a standard uk spec with the roof out on the A331 heading towards Frimley At about 11:15 ish today. Anyone know who it was ?

Black J spec High rear spoiler, gold wheels. Not sure if this is the car i've seen here before and posted up, if so then its not a member's car?

Well the day has come and my Z has gone to a new home :( :( I will miss her but I am positive the new owner will care for her as much as I did. But I will still pop on here every now and then out of habbit more than anything else. lol I am sure the new owner will be along shortly, or at least when the M5 clears up. Thanks for all the help in the past guys.

Anyone tried or even heard of Cooper Zeon's for the Zed? I have been offered them at the same price as Avon ZZ3's but have never heard of them. :confused:
