Nice red zed with 99 spec rear lights and big rims. Was thinking DiddyP?

This morning my oil pressure gauge was acting weird. Everytime I was turning right the pressure increase to 120 psi, when I was turning left it was decreasing to 30 psi. In straight line it was varing from 50-100 psi Usually it indicated between 20-70 psi. Should I be worried??? Anyone have experience someting similar???

Hi all, i have been thinking of getting one for a while now. i have owned a few 200sx's and a few mr2 turbo's but i always wanted a 300zx twin turbo only problem is that i have jusr bought a house with my girlfriend. i was wondering what the average mpg is and any other running cost for them? insurance is dirt cheap @ £370 a year fully comp for me and the missis. i wont use it through the week as i have a r6 for the work commute all help and advise would be great thanks. Aaron

Hey, as title i know its worth something because it in good nick but whats a reasonable price? Cheers, Ste

Ive got my carputer base ( :bow: Legrath :bow: ) all ready to go in the zed but dont have a screen yet. I know they had some double din fascias like legraths set up in japan so it wouldnt need all the cutting out and fibreglassing to size but i cant read japanese and cant really wait 3mths for it to arrive so am looking for some ideas rather then a standard motorized single din jobbie. Any one have a modded fascia or know of a slot in type screen that will fit? Pictures or advise would be great please! Also any good recomendations for a VGA screen please :) Cheers

I am def thinking of a carb'd 350 (simple engine) anyone fancy doing it for me ? (this is a serious enquiry)

I was just wondering if their was an obvious remedy for slightly knocking suspention at the front ? I have had the car up on the ramp and can see anything wrong apart from a split boot on the left hand side ? One thing worth mentioning is that when im going from reverse to 1st i sometimes get a knock and visa versa. Hope that made sense :p

hi im still searching for a barrel for my automatic, i got one from pete on here but it was unfortnatley off a manual and they are completely different. so does any one have one or know someone who may have one? thanks

is the white live wire that goes into the back of the ignition go through a relay or an inline fuse because it is dead?? had to run a wire direct from the battery to start her up.
