My zed hasnt been driven for a while about a month actually, this was due to a few things, most serious I found was one of the lower arms where the tension rods bolt on was seriously cracked and hence when i took the TR off the bloody thing fell apart ( will post some pics). Any way now, started no probs but noticed water dripping ( not engine coolant) from the front lower edge passenger side wheel arch, its where the front bumper screws into that like plastic pan just underneath the front edge ???? the car hold temperature ok, but thats only idle, havent driven it as shocks are knackered, also got dampness in the passy footwell, i know one of the door seals has a leak, b…

Hi All, Is there anywhere on here or out there that has a list of what is different between the different series 300zx's? I hear people talking about series 1 and 2 and occasionally 4. What are the differences? Cheers, Michael.

I Had New Manifolds And Down Pipes Fitted On My 91 300 Non Turbo But When I Came To Get It From The Garage That Done The Work I Found Pipes Hanging From Under The Car Up Near The Engine Which Were Then Cut Off. I Was Told They Went From The Engine To The Exhausts On Either Side And Now That Their Gone The Car's Been Getting Worse By The Day And It Wont Sit Idle And Keeps Losing Power When Im Driving. After A While It Takes Off But Still Chugs And Spluters Every So Often. Why Is My Baby Not Well And Is It Going To Be Exspensive To Fix? Plz Help Me As Im Going Mad And All Out Of Ideas, Its Up For Mot On Fri Aswell. Cheers Yall.

Reversing out a carpark today , which was fine when i parked it, but a van and a people carrier had me sandwiched in when i got back with my chinese and dvd. Pissing rain, windows fogged up, you know the story. Anyway, i stalled it (auto,even worse!) and a big roar came from a pub behind me where a group of guys were out having a fag and i was giving them great entertainment by my manouvering. "hahaha go on ya big dickhead in you're twin turbo"............i wasn't having a great day so far anyway i rolled down the window, looked back and shouted " what did you say?" They all looked at each other in surprise with big sarcy grins on their faces . I opened the door and went …

I was there this morning around 11-ish. Driving between M4 J15 along the A419 (I think) and the retail place/STEAM museum. A silver ZX was parked on the opposite side of the dual carriageway..... ....anyone? Richard :cool: (Sorry about vague location - I don't know Swindon at all)

Well, after a 1000 mile road trip and 30 hours Im home with my New toy. HUGE THANKS to Paul@SWZ who took me to collect it all the way from Somerset to Glasgow !! Left 1pm Saturday and got home at 7pm Sunday. Just under 1000 miles and did'nt see a single other zed (except a couple of 350z's). Nice to meet Petrolhead, many thanks :) I guess its time to change my Signature and Avatar

Came off the m1 at j27 on my way back to mansfield and saw a blue 300 on the back of a trailer, i think it had the original back lights but blacked out, no front lights and being towed by a 4x4. Anyones on here?

Hi Everyone, Does anyone know where I can get a new shim kit from? I've just had new Tarox pads put in and they squeal like a stuck pig. I'm kinda guessing that the chimp at ATS has not put it back in when he installed the new pads. Ian

Hey guys, just have another question.... I used to be the owner of a 200sx S13...the turbo model.....when the 200 warmed up you got lots of funky ''pops and bangs'' from the exhaust and when letting of from hard acceleration, sometimes you got the odd flame. Now this sounded extremely ''cool'' and i was wondering if the Z's do it too? As of yet i have only noticed the occasional ''pop.'' I read on the 200 forums you get these noises from BOV's and de-cat pipes? Thanks Ethan
