thought you might be intrested what i did this afternoon, instead of buying de-cat pipes and all the trouble that goes with fitting them just de-bowel the originals ;) took me about an hour after getting zorst off and this is the results. you need a long spike and a torch allso sneak the wifes dyson to keep sucking the small crumbs out

are there any differences between series 1 and 2 can you tell just by looking or numbers on the unit??? cheers

Stopped in to get some Plastikote Black for my scuttle panels and ended up with a bag-full of goodies. Which is unusual for Halfrauds! Also got some - chrome paint for headlight inserts - Megs Endurance Tyre Gel - no better stuff! - AutoGlym tyre gel - great for the engine bay, as its in handy spray bottle. - For my 3for2 free purchase I got a Megs Super Plush Towel (god knows why!) I didnt need anything else! (I think I might have bought the wrong Plastikote so those that have tried it on their scuttles, let me know.)

Well i was up for a MOT and got talked into taking some pic's of my car along side Bazza's. It's peed me off a bit because Barry has had his engine bay newly painted and all his wiring is so neat I'm going to have to do all mine now. Baz the car is gorgeous mate. I hope you don't mind, but I think Phil wants some picks for his customers wall. I took loads more so that I can look at them so as to get under the bonnet and sort all my wiring bits, a bit more bling and retouch my inner wings. If you want me to email you the pics Baz just give me a shout.

Had my car at what you call a MOT test. Failed because Co2 was to high. even tried to pull the pipe to the fuel dampner. Only one ecu error code number 54 when I checked. (need to replace my ecu soon) (and yes it is a manual) Soo, any tips to what I can do to get the co2 down? Going to check the plugs of course.

Hey guys. I've just put a deposit down a on 300, uk spec twin turbo manual. But in the advert, the guy said it has a two stage boost button. I'm just wondering if anyone in here knows wot it does? I'm assuming that it either alters the boost pressure or injects something to give more boost? Any help would be appreciated Mikey

hi peeps,had me 300 about 2 years,its a 1996 non turbo,auto,2+2 and i never got a manual with it but ive struggled to find a way to store the glass roofs in the boot in a way that stops em sliding,dont know if the manual would have shown how to but ive tried a few ways but im sure there must be a stock way! pictures would be superb but any answers would help! im aware this is a silly question but ive never been shown or told how to and they always seem to slide around a bit!

If only I could get my car to grip like this :) http://www.break.com/index/drag_racing_filmed_at_1000fps.html

How do I remove the bootlid then? I want to completely remove the bootlid because it's damaged and I have an exchange part on a donor car to fit in place. Thanks in advance! Dave

Does anyone know where I can get replacement curved metal valves for my Nismo alloys? Been to a few normal tyre places and they say they can't get these curved ones! One of mine is about to shear off, can't put any air in with pump anymore, and they are all a bit worn on the end of the thread where the pump goes on. As always, any help greatly appreciated guys.

i meant to post this ages ago. heres some pics of a tool i knocked up to press out the balljoints. dunno if it will inspire someone to help do theirs or not. it worked a treat ;) id like to see how the proper nissan tool looked

Is there anybody near the oxfordshire area with a conzult that i could come over to use? Pretty Please!!!!

I've noticed that in damp conditions my car seems to hesitate, but only when opened out and with fairly high rpms. As the coil packs are not exposed, I could only put this down to the mushroom filter being rubbish and allowing moisture to hit the AFM wire. Has anyone else had this problem and would an Apexi sort it out? Cheers Dave

anybody know anyone selling em? and what sort of price should i be looking at for a set of front and rear? cheers

Was reading through some old threads, just wondering if anyone had taken this any further yet ? Maybe John Dixon ? Def tidys up the engine bay and gives a lot more room to work e.t.c !

theres one short headbolt for each bank. where does it go? i cant find any info in the manual. any ideas? cheers

Markzx. I like your icon/avator. I am looking for ideas for customising my zx300 and that red and gold zx looks hot. Where could I get a better pic of the car.

Just seen this link on our Aussie cousins forum. http://www.ttxtz.com/index.html Anybody know of this? Seems like a comprehensive site. I notice we arent on the forum list either. Darrell

Australian zed member here, Im just curious if anyone with a 94+ model zed has rare interior illuminated door window switches which light up when u turn the lights on, like the side pods writing lights up?? Ive been trying to source these without success.

Well its obvious, you have to love them to own them. BUT Every day i drive it, it gets better. My autobox is improving every change, smoother and more responsive. Went out over the weekend and gave it some rice, so you would have thought that the fuel consumption but it would be abysmal... however this tank has been the most economical ever The vibration my car had at speed has also just pretty much disappeared! So whats changed?? Fitted an Apexi air filter over the weekend, amazingly seems to have massively improved fuel consumption?! Also fitted smithys big brake kit to it, (so it stops much better as well!) So i've come to the conclu…

Just wondering if there is any extreme mileage reading on any of the z's here. I read threads so often beginning with "i've got a 1990 z with 55k on it........" I'll start the bidding with 132k. (did have a KPH to MPH conversion before I bought it so only god knows the real mileage) . Love to know of any 200k plusses
