wahoo after 2 months the engine is ready for picking up from the engine shop. Hopefully there shouldn't be anymore hold ups. The built, polished, ported and 3 degreed angled the heads. pistons, rods, crank and pulley, clutch were balanced. Also knife edged the crank. wooo..... how exciting :hyper:

front windscreen: sitkcer 1 sticker 2 like these for the rear quarter glass? quarter glass and i'm thinking of fitting one of these above one of the front headlights on the bonnet but they are also availible in 9" as i think 7" may be a wee bit too small bonnet

Not sure about not having your Front bumper on. http://modifiedcartrader.com/findVehicle/listingDetail.asp?directID=7537&userZip=&numLat=&numLong=&txt=1990_Nissan_300ZX_TWIN%20TURBO_FOR_SALE

I'm ordering a sticker off ebay to sit just above one of the headlights but what is the width?

Here we go mates Ive gotten a little futher on her. I must admit though im having fittment issues with my oil dipstick getting in the way of my manifold. Starting to piss me off. Anyway here are some more pics of me getting further alone in the build! Thats it for now Ill try and get more done here soon.

a knacked front bumper. only want it to canibalise.

Anyone know where I can get a steering boss to fit a momo/isotta steering wheel that has the cruise control functions on. Cheers.

Really peed off this morning, went out to start the car and just kept turning over. Battery went flat so I got my other car out the drive to jump it off. As I was starting it it kept trying to fire but not quite starting, just firing every now and then. Kept trying it and all of a sudden a large bang and I think the starter jammed followed by thick black smoke pouring out the engine bay. I quickly shut the ignition off and wipped off the jump leads. Went to move the car I was jumping it off and it stalled and wouldn't start as it had ran out of petrol. Luckily I had a can in the back so I filled that back up and put it back on my drive. Was having another look unde…

Before i pop the car up to do this could somebody tell me where the oil filter and plug are under a zed? I've never done one myself on the zed yet, is it a bit of a bugger? lol

Just taken my rear lights apart and was wondering, should I just change the orenge lens to clear, or the orange and red? I know im gonna need new bulbs if I do the full swap, also is it best to leave the reflectors white or should I paint em silver, this isnt for personal choice, its just when you look at most lense conversions they only seem to show changing the orange lense but my red one looks a lot reder than most completed ones, Ive got the oven on at the mo so this is a bit rushed hope you can understand it

Quite like it actually as far as aftermarket rear bumpers go. Very little I like to be honest. Never seen it before.

Well so much for the engine running cooler with the new oil cooler fitted :D My car dumped it's water after a 4 mile drive this morning, fortunately just after pulling up in work's car park! I've had a look round and can't see any damaged hoses :confused: Most of the water is around the battery area, there was a pop as the hose went and lots of steam. The engine temp was marginally higher than normal and it still ran fine on all 6. Any ideas/shared experiences with the cooling system's weak points would be much appreciated as I need to get this baby home tonight.

Can anyone tell me where i can find a wiring diagram that shows where the injector cables go back to. ie do they go back to a resistor or straight back to ecu? any info or links greatly received. Muffin.

Morning peeps, i am thinking fo tinting out my rear lights on my Black Jap TT does anyone have any pics of what this may look like before i go ahead with it?

Just a reminder what it looks like :rofl:

I need to get myself a soldering iron but realise i actually know fook all about them! Would there really be any difference between a cheap 5 quid jobbie and one for say 30 quid? is the wattage important or will that depend on the gauge of soldering i intend on doing? i kinda like the idea of gettin a butane cordless one but would i be right to assume that it would cost a bit more for the same spec as a cheap corded one?

Hey guys, I have a 1996 JDM N reg Silver Manual with 80,000kmh on the clock in good condition and running well, only mod is an air filter and alarm system. Engine Oil changed every 3 months, all the usual servicing has been done in the last three months - i.e. sparks plugs, fuel filter, gearbox and diff oils, all known issuses have been sorted and the cars been fully wax oiled and underseal applied and the timing belt has changed at christmas. Records and Receipts for absolutely everything. Was thinking of selling to help fund another project, My question really how much would i be expecting for it in the current climate pricewise? Any comments would …

Aftermarket steering wheel... iv got a stupid wooden one thats half the size of a 2 pence piece and im too embarrased to put a photo of it up! i want to change it but can never seem to find an aftermarket design that i like, some ideas please?... so far my fav is the momo millenium in steve-300zx's car, closely followed by apaches momo.

A mate of mine owns Clarksons old SL55 AMG and reckons it would piss all over my Z. I've got a SWB with basic mods - filter, decat, chip, 1 bar boost, and it feels pretty quick. What are my chances of shutting him up? :) I reckon they'll be about neck and neck, the SWB flies to 100 and we wont be going over that anyway, cos someone said it was illegal?? Anyone have experience of the Merc? Paul C, hope you read this, how does your Z compare to the AMG?

Yup!-missus took the Z to work tonight,and fookin' broke down!!! :wack: Oh! it's good to be in Z ownership again! LOL! ;)

Could anyone tell me exactly where this connector is located see pic thanks ;)
