I need to sort the brakes on the new zed so I need to but some fluid. I know the recommended fluid is DOT3 but can I use the higher grades, such as DOT4, 5.1 etc.

Guess it was never meant to be :( Only a few things left to strip out of the old zed before she goes to the carpark in the sky.

Not sure if anyone has ever seen this before and as I've just removed this to ship to Lexx I thought I'd post a few pics of the internals to see what they are like.

opinions please I think it sit to high I think it would look better about 4 inches shorter but is it because it white at the moment don't know if I should get painted or get something smaller

Any one tried putting them in their Zeds, any pictures if so?

can anyone recommend a 10 " sub speaker, I need to replace the old one but don't want to spend a massive amount, looking for something of > 1000 watts and good punchy performance. cheers

Just came across this on you tube, enjoy! thttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q16JL2YsD3M ube

Hoping for some suggestions, I can't decide if I like my current spoiler, now I've had my fun don't want anything too over the top this time round, and baring in mind I've pushed back it's bodyshop date, I might change it, As some know my cars going gold, thats decided, but I'm thinking carbon 99 spec spoiler? Just to break the colour up a bit, anyone got any other ideas? Or know where I could get a carbon 99 spec, sure I saw a thread somewhere. Current spoiler: New colour:

I'm looking for the Richmond 4:10 diff gears for the r230 diff. If anyone is selling them please pm me, thanks .

Long shot - Anyone got a front and rear gasket for the suspension struts that they can lay their hands on today and measure the thickness? I have access to gasket material on the boat, and want to take home some of the correct thickness and make up my own gaskets when I take the suspension off next week. Thanks in advance.

I'm just curious how many of you have changed one of these out on the zed? How much or a pig was it?

never seen this z before nice engine bay but not sure about the rest a little obscure http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300-zx-Custom-/272111673623?hash=item3f5b1ea117:g:rqYAAOSw-zxWoMQI

Looking for an idiot-proof guide to removing/adjusting the boot lock as the key won't turn in it most of the time. This guide isn't doing me much good without the pictures. Releases fine by lever.

I need some help, it's winter time and I love driving my 300ZX TT, but not without a working heather! It blows in low & high, but where is the warmth? ( I have it on maximum heat, but nothing :( ) Does anyone has an idea what it can be?

ok so been thinking about this for a while and in my head i seem to think it would work. but head and reality are 2 different things. we know with the aid of a bracket that 350Z discs can be fitted using the stock calliper on a 300, and that same set up can be fitted on a 240sx also with a 300 calliper. so reason stands the platform is the same and the bracket that allows more room for the disc should fit both 300zx and the 240's. reason im trying to work this out is because the brackets for the calliper are easy to get and with a set of 350z brembo discs would be a good option for a simple brake upgrade?? i have no real experience with 240's or 350's but my b…

Has the JASMA stamp which means its legal for the Jap roads. But can't find anything on the F&K stamp? Anyone know? http://imgur.com/a/Le6LA

Hi all, just wanted to ask you all if you know which bulbs to buy for the dash back lighting and switches etc.. Took a look inside one of my dash pods today and the plastic backing on the bulbs is completely flat? Most replacement bulbs I've found have had a tab sticking out the back to enable you to twist them in to place. Does anyone know of these are suitable for replacing the originals or do we need to find the exact matching bulbs? I am looking to replace all my.pod lights and switch lights with red backlighting and the dash ones with an ice white or maybe even blue? Not sure if red would be a good choice for dash but I'd like to try them and see how they loo…

How could they :shock: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-Fairlady-300zx-manual-Show-promo-cop-car-/321976299263?hash=item4af7486eff:g:3YgAAOSwwPhWl920

Hi guys. Been around 10 years since I last owned a 300zx so slightly out of touch. Basically, I'm looking to sell my Skyline which I have had for 4 years now as I miss the comfort and smoothness of the z32. I'm just wondering what is a good price to pay for a good one nowadays. Id be looking for one like my first 300zx, series 2 (spec 2, facelift?... I can't remember the terminology now lol) but it had the seat belts in the correct place instead of the doors, illuminated kick plates and those really comfortable seats (alcantara maybe?... it's been so long). I can probably only push for about 4k for my car so am I looking at a budget option here? Sent …

OK, so I am trying to get a rear bumper to one of the chaps on here, but it seems that every courier I try prohibits the transportation of car bumpers! Does any one know of a courier that DOES courier them that is cheap. I have tried parcels2go, Parcelforce, Paisley Freight, TNT and Citylink. :cursing:

Last winter I did a major overhaul of my suspension. Two of things I fitted to the rear were adjustable traction rods and I deleted the hicas. The kit I used effectively converts you to NA style rear arms. The issue I have, is the passenger traction rod has a habit of changing, pot holes etc cause it to change. I did consider locktiting it, however I've started to wonder, do I actually need this extra complication. The ball joint on the lower arm is a fixed position. So toe adjustment is changed by front AND rear arms. This is just over kill, no? A fixed length traction arm should in theory make life simpler. So should I, replace with fixed length stock ones o…

So I shelled out for some insurance today and reconnected the battery after what must be 2.5 years. Unbelievably it started first turn of the key which is amazing. Took it round the block for 10 mins and I didn't break down which was a good start But day 1 = problem 1 with these cars, it didn't feel like there was any boost under load, the turbo gauge sat just above 0 and didn't move, from memory (it's been a while) this used to swing about all over the place so apart from the obvious 'your turbo is shagged' is there something simple it could be? It was ok before it went into storage and hasn't moved for 5 and a bit years. Thanks Sent from my iPhone usin…

http://www.greatestdrivingroads.com/great_roads.html Aside from the shows, meets, et al this year, I'm going to try and drive on as many of these roads as possible during 2016. This appeals to me more in some respects than the obvious group occasions on offer, althougth I am looking forward to these. It would be even better if some of the club members who could make it, would join me? I'm not putting any dates in the diary for this, just make my mind up which one I am going to tackle and when, as far in advance as possible, and put a post up as early as possible to see if anyone fancies joining me. Can a sticky or something be made up for all our members to list their…
