Pulled out a pair of Addzest 80W tweeters from the back of my Z and they look beyond saving. Standard size 10*15cm (4*6inch). What else is out there for a direct fit? Preferably cheapish, don't need a great sound system really.

Story goes a few months ago (without naming names) I brought a fibreglass bumper here on the forum and it looked great, so as its fibreglass gave it a test fit.......... bent! Don't fit i was expecting some fettling but when you take a closer look its had some rather extensive repair on the drivers side. messages the seller..... no reply. but as I was expecting work to need doing to it anyway I left it. but now iv taken it to my bodywork guy who has written it off im feeling a bit hard done by. iv got oodles of photos showing its twisted but now got no clue if its too late to at least try sort this out? just looking for advice Thanks :3

Does anyone happen to know whether the velour interiors had any variation in colour/shade between different specs? Specifically, are late spec blue Zeds velour "bluer" then the early model velour (which seem to have a blue hue!)?

Hey, Is anyone placing a concept z order at the moment and wants to split postage? Let me know!

Watching my brothers restoration of this 240z was the start. A lovely car so much work, but she looked awesome when she was done. I wanted another Z and he pointed me to the Z32, thanks bro :)

Hello, My 300zx (1990 Z32 tt) is a work in progress - bought it as a non runner. Current issue I'm facing is a horrific groan/whining from the power steering when the steering wheel is moved even slightly. I was going to go ahead and order a service kit, strip the pump down etc and try that before getting a new pump ££, but looking for confirmation of leaks first. I have a huge history for the car, and it shows the HICAS was removed in 2010 at 131k miles, shortly before it's SORN (owner passed away) in 2011 at 132k. Currently I have some of the engine stripped etc so can't start it up and test it with new fluid (is a little low), but I was just wonderi…

Jacked up on your drive, are you on here?

I thought some of you might be interested in reading/discussing this thread about 300zx's i saw on reddit today:

Just spotted this on ebay. Fresh import NA but looks really clean:thumbup: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MANUAL-NISSAN-300-ZX-ZXT-TARGA-TOP-FRESH-IMPORT-/351611618916?hash=item51ddaf8664:g:-EsAAOSwhkRWeqA4

Of work today till the New Year so went to the local shopping center this morning to get a few presents and my God it was bedlam. It was 1130 hrs I went in and escaped an hour later :sweatdrop: Why do people go mad filling trolley's with so much stuff! the shops will be open in a few days after Christmas day, Any way be careful out there guys its getting maaaad.

so soon I will be getting my car painted. just wondering the cost you guys have payed in the past. my car is fully stripped down and welding all done there will be a little bit of filling for them to do but not much. so what did you pay for yours to be painted. the guy doing mine did a car for me a few years ago. due to the car being stripped already so its just prep and paint and I will put all the bit back on bumpers front wings etc,,, what work did they do to your and how much did you pay

I'm just interested in people's thoughts here. Forever, I've used the better patrols such as optimax or v-power. This is also what the car was mapped on. The other day, I was running out of petrol and had no real choice but to put some cheaper petrol in from Morrisons (only £10). I noticed absolutely no difference at all in the way the car drove. So I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on using the cheaper fuels and whether it 'really' makes a difference or every day use. For info, it's a jap car. Thanks, Lee

Evening everyone. I've had a bit of a problem this evening. After finishing work, I went to start my car... and nothing. The previous owner is a land rover mechanic who fitted a land rover alarm and immobiliser. The dash all lit up when the key was turned, but when you fully turn the key, there's nothing at all. This is the immobiliser. For some reason my button fob isn't working. I assumed it was a dodgy battery so I got the Mrs to drive my spare keys and fob to work. Same thing. So the batteries in the fobs are fine, as is the battery in the car. Anyone ever experienced similar? I'm assuming it's something to do with the alarm receiver? Any advice more than welc…

Hey, has anyone bought one of these and fitted? - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300ZX-Terminator-Style-Body-Kit-Front-Bumper-/251324646044?fits=Model%3A300+ZX&hash=item3a841dc29c:m:mn_W46JE0OPe3rcWbkPy1aQ I'm just wondering how much work is required to make it fit. Cheers :)

Just bought my new zed and it has these, kinda cool and a big surprise when they came on :) When they do it they light up the full lane next to me. Anyone else got these and are they legal as they are very bright.

In the new year my next job is to get my AJ4 series six spoiler resprayed and refitted. Its lacquer has long since been defeated by the Japanese sun, and the left mounting is probably the source of a very slight boot leak. Few questions on the spoiler: Bolts needed? Is there anything else holding it on, such as glue or clips? Anything else worth mentioning?

Afternoon one and all I have not long ago started on my Zed adventure, but I would like a bit of advice, I can start my car like a dream, fires up and idles fine....but sometimes if you were to rev it the rpm would drop to almost stalling, but other times she is fine. I'm new to these engines so before I go looking for a problem that isn't there, has anyone else had this happen to them? any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks Monty

Have not been out in my car at night for a while. I came home from the south coast. I forgot how bad the lights were I need to do something to sort them out. What have you done to yours to make them better?

By the end of spring, I plan on replacing my KYB AGX and Tein S Tech for a set of MeisterR Zeta-S coilovers. I've come to the conclusion that the stock strut top bushings are crap and start to creak, even when replaced with new. I also want to lower my Z a little more and have a little more adjustability in the dampening. I believe you can set the pre-load to a lot lower than you can with KYB AGX shocks. Generally, the MeisterRs are held in high regard, they're comfortable and well made - but I'm wondering who here has them AND, just as importantly, what was on the car before you fitted them. I've driven JoelyP's Z and that does feel nice, rides well, isn't…

Just pulled out of my road right behind this car on the way to a SE meet to see this! Unfortuantely the Z wasn't going to the meet as such, but how ironic timing. Anyone know who's this belongs to? The only other person i know in my area that has one is Cybernet, but i heard his car wasnt on the road?

:helpsmilie:after a couple of the blue relays same as aircon and headlights need them ASAP? dan.

thinking of getting some obx headers and de cat pipes for my n/a convertible . car already has stainless cat back . read that centre pipes all the same for lwb /swb . believe headers are a swine to fit . some ridiculously cheap headers on e bay but good reviews form obx ones. what others mods do people do to n/a,s .read a lot about not worth doing . my mitsubishi tt gto passes mot ok without cats and that's got a full race exhaust on . bit noisy lol. comments please cheers simon

Personally mine are series 4 but as far as i am aware all through the years all clocks have 4 x 501/T10 wedge type bulbs for the illumination of the dials/needles, 1 x 501/T10 is for the illumination of the low fuel symbol. All were originally clear filament bulbs with coloured rubber johnnies on, these are shown on the first pic - the 2 on the left. In this pic we also see some of the different types, some are clearly way too long, there are literally hundreds to choose from, all of these were bought on ebay from the far east. The most recent i bought are the red boarded smd ones, it was in the back of my mind that they may be a bit long, lets n…
