All the best bud! Have a good day :duffer: :duffer: :duffer:

The Zed I recently purchased only came with a 'valet' key which as normal for these only opens and locks the drivers door, and not the glove box or boot lit. Being an import does anyone know how to get a proper key cut / supplied that will do all the locks.

About 2 this morning 1/8/7. HID lights was about all I saw but I think I got a glimpse of a 300zx.co.uk sticker on the back quarter light. I was the guy flashing me lights in the transit connect waitng to turn right at the lights. Darrell

I know it is a long shot but saw a lovely 92 silver zed today.....6 pot rear lights! Was a beauty in the passenger seat and the car wasnt half bad aswell. Came from the airport direction and turned into airside retail park so my guess is was on its way to the windsor garage in there!

Parked outside DooDahhs burger bar and the arcades.

i have just put on my new dump valves , had a job removing the recirc valves but got them off. just give it a run seems ok .. but....... i was under the impression that every time i took my foot off the throttle even under normal driving it should hissss. i have to cane it to get them to hisssss. i think i may have to adjust them to hold the boost longer or have i done all that work for nothing apparently they have trumpets on the dump valves so there noisy ...but not yet any advice on how mush i need to adjust them thanks

Dark marroony brown convertable going down the quarter mile.

Pulled into work yesterday and spotted one black convertable 300ZX!

I've just removed my front wings and bumper to replace with viper wings and a strosek front bumper. Just about every bolt sheared or rounded due to rust so i had to cut them of with an angle grinder (very messy) what i want to know is what do i need to salvage from the old bumper (if anything) to use when fitting the new Strosek bumper. Please remember that a lot of bits were so badly rotted they are unrecognisable so any new bits that you think i might need let me know.

Was out in my car the other night and i launched from a standstill in first up to the red, into second and straight up to the red again, then i braked, as the car was slowed to about 20mph the revs dropped until it almost stalled and i lost my powersteering for several seconds... Does anyone know what this could be? The engine was not cold, i had been running it that night for maybe 4 hours previous...

Advice please. Is it advisable to use an engine flush or not prior to oil/filter change? I have TT Auto,

red zed in maidstone this afternoon about 3.30 on ashford road by the haynes garage had a blue FTO very close behind was it you JB? if so hope you showed that FTO where the widow maker got her name must admit it give me the bug to get the old girl back on the road. Karen. :hyper:

when i first put car back together it went like a rocket, boosting nicely, then my lad had PCV valves of to clean em as she was still smokey, he said the pipes were crappy so i have got some more on order, could a leaking pcv pipe cause no boost, or has he put something back wrong, when driving if you put your boot down the boost gauge just goes to the middle!! Thanks for any help

Has anyone got any pics of the cam pully drives? and any other pics of around the cam belt area? thanks.

as above anyone got an approx guide of what this will cost me.. i have managed to source a gearbox, my car is an import auto TT and wondered what i would be looking at for fitting ?

I just had to insure my 2nd Zed and got the runaround from not only my current insurer but also others. However, I was happy to find Lynbrook Insurance thanks to a thread here who just sold me fully comp on a 1990 TT Z32 as a second car with 2,000 annual mileage for less then £200. Thanks, atc300zx .They also do "Laid-Up" Cover and Agreed Value and will even cover "Basket Cases" which they describe as "a collection of parts which, if assembled, could create most of a car". Might possibly be of use to some fellow members hehehe. They're in Mawdesley, Lancs on 0845 130 4662. I did a list of the insurers I asked for cover on my new L reg NA 2+2 Auto. It's not cheap be…

Just remembered ive seen one in mansfield, i did see the number plate but cant remember anything now, it was silver and standard i think.

About 8pm last night. Managed to catch your attention all the way round the other side of the roundabout. Cheers for the wave.

Stevie007!! :hyper: Hope you have a fantastic day!! x

can some one post a list of all the torque settings of a 300zx tt engine like head, exhaust malinfold and the rest etc etc many thanks in advance lee :nana2:

As some of you will know I'm not using the speed sensor in the g'box, or the original speedo, so have left the rest of the electronics to sort out the steering weight. What happens is that after starting up the steering is very light, very nice to get out of the drive etc, and after about 15 secs the steering goes heavier and stays the same for the rest of the journey. The actual driving weight is fine but it would be nice, and hopefully simple, to have a switch to revert to lightweight mode on the odd occasion. Looking at the circuit the steering computer seems to take in various signals to activate the lightest weight, ie. handbrake on, but putting the handb…

Just to inform you all i have just discovered a new oil brand. It's called "Q Horse Power". It's recommended by Ferrari and is what they use in the Enzo. It's a little expensive and come in different grades but is well worth it. Now the downside. I have only seen the oil for sale in the states and you have to get it imported, but is well worth it. Even my M5 loves it. Check it for yourselves. http://www.Qpower.com :bow:
