OK guys a simple poll to gauge interest in this years JAE show. The feed back from last year was not great from some members and now the entry prices have gone up from £30 to £45 on advanced tickets and £60 at the gate. No Saturday entry price you still pay £45 (or £60 at the gate) http://japcarclub.org/index.php/blog/126-tickets-2016 Please post up your thoughts also and this will let the club know where we stand and what the members want to do. Thanks Guys.

Hi guys. Newby here. My zed is not running very well at the mo, miss firing on at least one cyclinder. Havnt had much time to give it a proper diagnoses, but straight away I can see the injector wiring at the connectors has definitely seen better days. I've seen repair harnesses on the net from the USA. Does anyone supply them from the uk?? I'd also like to do the coil harnesses as well for good measure if I can. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Tom

Hi Guys n Gals Can anyone help I need a pair of front coilovers for a 300ZX TT 1997 it has Buddy Club coilovers on at moment but passenger strut is leaking so I need to replace them if no one has coilovers does anyone have a pair of front shocks with lowering springs that I could buy. Now here's the problem I cannot afford to pay over 100.00GBP if within 75 miles of Cardiff I can collect. If you can help with either type please contact me Thanks Richard

So I understand this is the Japanese timing belt service sticker? Is this 100,000 km one? I cant read Japanese.. Althoug at the bottom it says 10 (something, something) km.

So unfortunately a small electrical fire has damaged a fuse box and carpet so with parts cost insurance say it's a total loss, just had flywheel and clutch done, runs well with 110k on it, 6 months mot, respray, gtr35 carbon spoiler, some rate rims on it, manual TT with leather. So what value should I argue that's it's worth?

Hi guys I need help listing something for sale on here I keep getting invalid category or something Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Hi all my 300zx fans. My name is Dave from the Netherlands. Recently I imported a 300ZX ( Fairlady Z Z32 ) from japan, and it will be fully restored. But it seems to be in Limp mode, it will not rev above 2500 rpm's. I alreayd replaced the MAF and that seems to work good. And did a lot of research but I just can not get it out of limp mode. I also tested the ACC mode 2 and tested the o2 sensors, they dont seem to work, so both lambda's will be replaced. I get the following error codes, can you guys seem to guess what the error codes mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXreJ6jdHsM&feature=youtu.be Thanks in advance for al…

I need to get front bulbs sorted on car so which ones am i looking for?.Its a JDM so ive been told H3c...what are the others?..Can i upgrade these bulbs?

Bit of an odd one inside my Z. When I turn ignition on, if I wait a second or two there's a buzzing noise from inside the cover plate of the map reader lights in the roof. I removed the cover tonight and the noise comes from a foam covered 'whatsit'. Apologies I don't know what that is but it's connected up for some reason. Anyone know what's going on here?

so after a long wait my car is getting painted. the car is red and wanting to keep it red. so far its audi brilliant red I want to use. but there are so many other reds that's are nice . does anyone one have a idea about other shades just looking for a few ideas really.. solid reds not metallic

Don't know if anyone has posted this before, but I was browsing through some old threads and have just realised that the above named gentlemen's car reg's are extremely similar (with the exception of one digit) . I'm not too familiar with UK reg's but if it's like Ireland they're coded to areas, so...What's the chances that 2 Z's would be registered in the same area 100 numbers apart:thumbup:

I've recently had an issue arise with my twin turbo. I've noticed she runs a little lumpy on idle with the occasional mild misfire. I decided to get myself a free version of consult and plugged it in. The readings I got back that I've been advised are out of place are the aac/i-acv readings are at 44% and the idle speed is dancing around the 900 rpm area. At points the engine does run lower but it seems to wander around a little when the mood takes it. The error code on the diagnostic is also showing code 34 knock sensor. This is obviously going to play around with something if the knock sensor is dead. I am going to cancel the knock sensor error by inserting a …

Well the extension is finally finished (ish), although the workshop isn't fully sorted yet. I've spent the past 18 months collecting parts for the car and will be starting work on her once I'm home in 2 weeks.

My new boss is into his classic motors like me and recently approached me about storage in the area. I believe he has in the region of 5 classic cars that he is shipping up north so he is in the market for a warehouse / workshop so after having a wee look about my area I found this : He's got a viewing shortly and hopefully if he goes for it I'll have a new unit to start work on the new build. He also has a 4 poster that can be installed so way hey ! :)

Looking at ordering up new discs and pads all round. Already settled on MTEC discs and Mintex pads (car is barely used and never pushed to limits). Anyone got good places to get Mintex pads at good prices before I just get them bundled in with MTEC?

I have my MOT next month and need a few things doing so it can sail through. Couple of things I would like to know: 1) I have a JDM LWB non-turbo with a HID kit I installed last year, one of my front fog light bulbs has gone. What bulbs do I need? Is there a better style of bulb (the current bulbs were a bit too orange and didnt match the HIDs) 2) To pass the MOT last year I had to change my reverse light into a fog light, I stole my wife red nail polish and painted one of the reverse bulbs which worked, but now I want something much brighter (not to mention the nail polish has faded!) What is the type of bulb I need? I know the JDMs use a H3 or something, …

I have a friend who has done windscreen replacements before, but is there anything special about the Z we should know about? In particular, trim that cannot be saved. Got a quote from national windscreens a while back for something like £290 + VAT for the window and fitting, excluding any trim, which is pretty high, hence my worry. Also if anyone knows of suppliers of the glass in/near Edinburgh please mention (blue tint) Cheers

So, my 99 spec bumper is in the paint shop and so I now want to get a new bumper plate for it. So, do I go UK and horizontal rectangular or import square style? Which suits the 99 spec best in people's opinion? The car is an import so its square import style on the rear. Also, the reg of the car is an Irish style one. Anyone got any photos of their 99 spec bumpers with plates on they can show to help?

Hi All, Saw that Terra Clean on Wheeler Dealers and wondered if anyone can recommend it? Cheers

Hi guys, Im looking to buy another zed, theres a couple im interested in, one of them the owner says the turbo seals have gone, and the car is in safety boost mode? I dont understand, I didnt think the ecus were that intelligent. Would there be another underlying issue causing safety mode? The car in question looks to be in very good order otherwise so i doubt neglect is an issue. Thanks Mark

Hi, I was crusing along on the Motorway at 70MPH and suddenly the Z began to loose power, with some juddering/jerking, the speed slowed down to about 50MPH and returned to normal, it happened 2/3 times, what can this be? Any idea? I thought I was about to brake down, by the loyal 300ZX managed to get me home. The driving surface was flat throughout. What needs to be checked? The car is otherwise in good condition. 1998 60K twin turbo manual, import. Thanks

What leds would I have to use so there bright enough to work an pass a mot Thank you

Just wondering, in advance of trying to put the interior back in the car whether or not there's a list of all the bolts and screws and where they go on the zed. Anyone know if this kind of thing exists? I know there's the service manual but I'm not sure if it says what's the bolt or screws are (sizes etc) and where they all go.
