One tuesday early morning Silver A259 towards Littlehampton 9 ish in the morning and on wednesday, about 5 ish A259 Littlehampton going towards Bognor /climping, Black with Apexi stickers on wings and big exhausts, i was the nutter in the white transit van flashing u in the traffic.

I took the car out on the road yesterday for a small ride. My engine has been fully rebuilt by myself and the help of my friend who is a mechanic. I've forged Eagle rods, toga performance bearing, and a second hand for a UK shop crankshaft. The bearing i was using were std and i did 300kms without any problems. Yesterday i raced a audi RS4 (I won :dance: ) but then i heard that my bearing were gone. I took of the oil pan today and found some small particles on the oil pan and a slightly damaged bearing. I haven't took of yet my main bearing but i think the particles are coming from this one. what can cause bearing to go? How to know which …

Hello everyone. Need a bit of help with locating front fog lamp lens for my UK spec 91 300zx. Glyn Hopkins at Watford have tried everything they can to find even a part number for them and thought they had the problem solved when a jap version came up as being the right part only top find the fixings which are two screw fitments to the left and right of the lens were different. So between us we are a bit lost as to where we can get them. Any idears, I only want new rather than off a breaker. Appreciate any help......

no probs now thanks Mr F for your reply ;)

happy birthday bud, hope ya have a goodun, will be having a few tonite myself :duffer: :duffer: :duffer:

i used to have the site address for instructions on how to find fault codes and a list of the codes and the meaning im sure someone out there can help me as i cant find the info i need on the web. its been two years since i last needed such info and through it away when i sold my last car thanks

had the oil changed today and no more rattles, gave it a good 10mile drive, perfect the juddering turned out to be a loose connection on one of the coil packs so that didnt even need changing total cost = 30quid so relieved

hello my name is dave and i just signed up here in this forum. i am seeking for some help regarding an exhaust system. first off i have an us import 1991 300zx z32 non turbo 2 seater coupe. i was also told it is called a swb... i live here in germany and they are just giving me trouble here with their tüv- it' a vehicle inspection place. we can't change anything on our cars here with out proper paperwork that is approved and street legal. i would really like to put on sporty mufflers. but i would need paper work upon these, that stat that they are street legal. otherwise it would be illegal and i would be fined and collect points if i would be caught... the othe…

Been wanting one for years, but all i ever see is tired, tatty ones, seen some on the for sale section on here and :shock: really nice examples. I'm after a nice clean Targa Manual Twin Turbo version, pref leather interior, exhaust and filter........nothing else, thats all I want. Now I have been looking, looking and looking more, and the main worry is if something goes wrong, who do I take it to? Is there any specialists down south near basingstoke where I can go for parts be it trim, bodywork and engine stuff?? I know for example Rotechniks in basingstoke look after RX7s at a sensible price is there a similar person/garage/tuning house that can fix it…

How much would it cost both low end, mid range and upper end to have a full respray in Gloss Black?

I'm just wondering why you don't see any/many imported zed's coming into the country with wide arch conversions already done?? Are they illegal in Japan, or something :p .. .. :confused:

just thought Id type up some thoughts as Im sat here doing nothing. Last night, the water pipe from the lower rad to the block burst. About a mile from home (luckily), limped home. It must've looked funny as steam was coming out the vent in my bonnet and reminded me of a steam train, as I peered through the steam mist settling on the screen. Anyway, got home and replaced pipe (I had a spare one from my red 300 I stripped). Must quieten down my exhaust too, on the way to work this morning I successfully set off no less than 4 car alarms I trundled pass them. I loved the noise to start with but it becomes very monotonous on distances and you cant have a conv…

As above, I know it is aftermarket but I am not sure what make it is. Can anyone shed any light?

and finally managed to get them wired in properly. Big thanks to krsmayo for the last minute advice. Anyway, thanks again to Dave for sorting the group buy. I know the needles are not lit up, that is a seperate issue that I am working on. anyway, here are the pics...

Here is one for you, noisey box Simple you say its shit itself But it is only in 2nd and 4th and when I'm stationary with my foot on the clutch in those two gears (but quieter) Now could a noisey release bearing transmit through to the gearbox while driving, I haven't come across it before but the box feels fine.

your inbox is full mate ;) alex

just wondering how far i can push the limits with my standard engine, im sure i read somewhere around 400bhp is as far as you can go without sacrificing reliability, i was wanting to upgrade to 555's but i already have upgraded tubs and intercoolers, chip, exhaust and induction kit so i musn't be far off that mark, i want more power but dont want an expensive repair bill!! :(

any pics on where the plug is, any pics would be great thanks

Used a boost leak detector to check for boost leaks and i can hear air escaping from the back of the engine (see pic). Has anyone got a picture of the back of the engine that shows which boost pipes it could be? Thanks Paul

Hi folks, couldn't be a better time with all this t-top weather we're having. Business has picked up so got her insured for the year (1200euro) and taxed for 3 months (330 euro) :xxx: .....but what the hell it's worth it to be back for another while :) Lots of new members here, great to see the 300zx isn't getting old and forgotten about. getting around town the last few day's watching people smile and point then row over what car it is never ceases to put a big grin on my face. Funny , there are about 3 or 4 z's in my home town of waterford now, there was only myself when i joined 300zx.co.uk , just yesterday a dark haired lady passed me in a met. green z so there seem…

No Im not joking. I need to know the weight of the block, pistons, crank etc. I am going to get my engine Cryogenicaly Treated and its done on weight. But i need to know the weight of the major components.
