just out of interest, those that have broken their zeds for sale, how much did you make???

I've seen one on ebay that looks as if it's an air filter :confused: and it looks quite 'blingy' but can I use one on my '95 N/A? Cheers - Dave

When the AIV lines are disconnected from the exZhaust is it important to bung the lines up? What would happen if they were just left open? Appreciate any advice on this as my mechanic is only waiting on this and then I can finally get my Z back! Cheers

Is the forward Exhaust up to cat back of the SWB NA the same as the LWB NA??

OK I hope this isnt the wrong section to post this but I didnt want to keep it to one area. I also hope any REO dosent mind me doing this..... I have had a chat with Spongey and we thought we could possibly arrange a day outing for anyone interested in or around hearts beds or bucks. Just Sunday really as an alternative for those that like me have booked the weekend off for Billing. (although I have an hospital appointment on saturday). I must say at this point "Thanks to Steve" :bow: for the polite and concise notice of the cancellation of Billing. Its such a shame as it was looking like it was going to be great. :cry: Anyway if anyone has any local ideas fo…

Had a quick search but couldn't find anythig + I'll get a boloking for being on here during work LOL (sorry in advance) Question :- Is it possible to put larger disks behind stock wheels with stock calipers Cheers

Heater fan not working as in blowers for screan etc., but if I switch auto/aircon on it does. Is it a fuse or a wiring gremlin?

Better late than never, have a good day mate. ;) :duffer:

:shock: I put a thread on here about 3 days ago regarding my rubber I have turnados with a little tread on the back and runways on the front. I can now say believe it or not I havnt been able to loose the back end!!! i have tried whist going round corners and even from standing! (in the dry) I know someone said on here that they were malysian budget tyres but i kid you not. :shock:

I have an aftermarket kit and have disconnected the cc in the car, yesterday i disconnected the cable on the left (as you look from the front) which i assume is the cruise control cable. my question is : the cable runs to a black unit and then to a box in the upper drivers side of the engine bay, can i just remove all of this or will it affect anything else? cheers Speed

Just out of curiosity, those with an SP30 with a ban what difference did it make to your insurance? One of my colleagues is saying it's going to be on a par with a DD10 (Drink Driving) ban, and I can't see it being that much.

just a quick one.... are there kits out there for the third link kingpin? if so, would these kits sort out excessive play in the steering knuckle or would that be a lower ball joint issue? cheers Mark

Any recommendations for an alarm guy who knows Zs anywhere between Slough and Brent Cross? TIA - Gio

do any technos know if the Nismo 555 are the same as the Denso 550 injector the part numbers are identical and they look identical , is it the same scenario as Jun using cosworth to make their pistons then re badging and charging a fortune for them , as Denso injectors are a good 100 quid cheaper .........why pay for a name ....... Steve

Bit vague i know.....but. Just got my first Zed and i know i aint posted any pics but my car is a metallic blue, pretty sure its a standard colour, is it called "Marine blue" does anyone know ? I am too lazy to go outside now and take of the slam panel thingy to find the paint code, i just though someone might know what the name of the standard blue colour was. Its a UK manual if that helps, series 2 1993 Also anyone know if touch up paint will be available ? Cheers :duffer:

My electric fan doesn't work and i've been trying to figure out why. First port of call was the relay box, there is 'RAD FAN' and 'SUB FAN' relays in there, which one is right? The relays in both of those are blue ones the same as the aircon one, I know the a/c works so i swapped over the both of these relays with the a/c one and it was still dead so I guess that rules out that. Is there a fuse for the fan? I read the footwell fuse box translation and there isn't one in there, maybe one in the other box behind the suspension turret? Is there anything else that might cause it not to work, other than a dead motor? I've been trying to make it start with th…

Heading towards cinderhill island , i waved ... you didn,t :headvswal :headvswal :D

I know Vinz has just posted a similar thread but this is in a slightly different league. A few weeks ago now my car was hit while parked up, and I have managed to convince them to give me a full 4 wheel race alignment. Some time ago I found 2 places that could do it Weltmeister and Racing Developments which isn't responding for me at the moment. Does anyone else have any recomendations for other places that can do a FULL 4 wheel alignment? Thank you

hiall. just got my new dump valves today all ready to be fitted . it says that they replace the normal by pass valve ..anyone know where that would be i know its somewhere between the turbo and the throttle boddy is it a big thing or small..

i keep getting a code 13 coolent temp sensor. from searches it seems that the course of treatment is give it a clean up and if that doesnt work replace the sensor/connector. tried the clean up and didnt work. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=94431&highlight=ecu+coolant My question is what actually do you replace.....the connector plug or the actual sensor that screws into the top pipe or both. If it is the connector only how do you splice the wiring of the new one where the old one is? If it the sensor is it easy to remove it without snapping, shearing or threading anything? I imagine it would be held tightly to stop leaks + the odd bi…

ah, zeds started to misfire & just confirmed its an injector! :rant: trying to decide if its worth going for it & getting 555's turbos etc or fixing it with a stock unit selling up?!? :wack: just dont know! have got a nice bit of wedge due in soon & have been trying to decide whether to do my zed up selling up & going for a R33 or maybe a 350Z bad timing for this to happen!! anyone want a series 2 UK manual TT with some nice mods? LOL! :x: or anyone got any cheap JWT530's & 555's for sale?!? :D

I had my Zed four wheel laser aligned by http://www.m1fourwheelalign.co.uk and what a cracking job Shaun(The Boss)did on it as well. :bow: :bow: :bow: Also before he set it up,changed all four tyres and balanced them for me.Can't praise the firm enough.I had a cracking time there,enjoyed it that much that I found it hard to leave.Thanks also to Shauns wife Judy for keeping me supplied with loads of mugs of tea.He spent three to four hours setting my car up unlike the previouse firm who managed to fook up all four tyres :xxx: in their 1/2 hour effort,get off the ramp, next outfit.So give this firm a try and your car will be spot on like mine.Mention me Vinz and he will…
