Are there any manuals like the Haynes guide avaliable for the 300zx. My car knowledge is general is basic. My knowledge about the 300zx engine is none existant and I really would like to built upon it in anyway possible. Something as simple as a basic engine map would be a big help

I've taken some injectors out of my car that look like 555's but it says Nissan on the top in the middle of the part number. Also on the blue plastic section that surounds the feeds it says made in Japan and the 46-00. Anyone know where I can get a definative answer? Mr Nissan is no help Anyone know the Nismo 555's part number and what it says on the blue band round the middle where the feeds are?

Saw one today, first one Ive seen on the road for months. Its was going the oposite way, about to go into an horrendous down pour, i just came out of. May of had an aftermarket front bumper, was very loud.

I've found a broken manual z not too far away . Only thing is it's n/a. If it does suit and i need other parts for the convertion would it make it messy, should i just hold out till I find a tt box? Any advice appreciated, thanks.

First is the clutch, possibly. Drove to cardiff from bristol with no silly stuff parked up outside my mates house for 20 mins and when i got bck the car the clutch was really heavy and it felt like it was slipping in 3rd but only in 3rd. got back to his house and left it for about an hour, when i got back in it was absolutly fine and no problems since.(?) on the same day and a few times since ive got out of the car armed the alarm and the left hand indicators have stayed on and have had to turn the alarm on and off a few times to get them off. Anyone?

As title! How many of the 300zx Owners on this Forum have spare engines for their 300zx in case they need them?

Flashed you in my black Mitsubishi Warrior. Bound to be someone on here.

My Z currently has the two seperate cd player and radio (standard nissan) i want to take them both out and put in a double din cd player... Do i have to cut the middle plastic bar between the two or can i get a suitable double din surround...? Cheers Guys

The Picoo Z radio controlled helicopter for £20 haha! best distraction from work I've ever had. Almost as good as forums!! Got it from Maplin here: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=220841&TabID=1&source=1&doy=25m7 You've got to tune it a bit to make it fly right. You set the trim up until it doesn't spin on itself. Then go forwards by kind of waving it right and left a little bit. Its not easy and I've not really got it yet but its great fun crashing it horribly! doesn't seem to break either. All the body is polystyrene! It only lasts ten minutes then you have to plug it into the controller to charge it up again.

bit of a pointless thread really but an hour ago the clock on my car turned to 130,000 miles, on my uk spec tt dont want to tempt fate by saying any more, btw its running great

Taken my car to the garage this morning to replace the O2 sensors just got a call from them saying it is too low to get on any of their ramps apart from the MOT ramp which is always being used. I said to them that the O2 sensors point up out of the engine bay so would of thought it would be easiest (or maybe even the only) way to get at them would be from above rather than underneath. They said they need to get at them from underneath and they cant help me. Is this correct or are they flobbing me off??? I am guessing they tried to put it onto the ramp to try and see them in the exhaust and couldnt get it on the ramp and just gave up without looking from above.
