Hi all, My Z has just come back from Jim @ PowerZed, new cambelt, fluids, filters. I now want to move onto the bodywork, unfortunately in the words of Jim this is looking like a 'Deep Pocket Edition'. Please could someone let me know how I can post some pictures as I was hoping to get advice on where I can get some parts from.

Let’s get a thread going with pictures, of off the shelf and custom made exhausts. Please include as many details as possible including the brand/manufacturer, bore/tip size, flow design (X/H etc) and any other relevant details. If you’re unsure of the specifics, post a picture and other members can help to identify it. Feel free to duplicate systems that have already been posted to give ideas of the aesthetics on different colours and mod state cars. It doesn’t have to be your own car, post away!

Just seen Nathan Chadwick's article in Classic and Sports Car...... 12 sub-£35k twin-turbo classics (msn.com)

One of the things I'm trying to get sorted this summer is the power steering leak from around the pot area. All 3 hoses that connect to it are cracking badly so wanted to swap them all. The one I'm having issues finding is the middle one with the "b" label. From what I can tell this seems to have been available at some point on its own as 4972530P04 but is now NLA, and also as a set with the hardlines, brackets and bolts (circled red on the pic) as 49790-30P01 Does anyone know if there's a silicon version available out there (Z1 and Concept Z seem to have different shaped silicon hoses for that area, assume the LHD are different - also both stores don't s…

Was looking through Concept Z to get an order together and came across some "BlasterZ" accent stripe replacements, I may pick some of these up ready for when I have the respray done. Found their website and they seem to have replicas for a lot of stickers on the zed too: https://blasterzgarage.com/products/complete-accent-stripe-kit-all-models?variant=32632120377475 Has anyone tried anything by them before? Is the quality any good?

Hi all, We have reserved a club stand at this year's Simply Japanese show, Beaulieu, on Sunday 24th July; details in the events section as below... This is one of the year's best shows in my opinion - with something to interest everyone. Not only is Beaulieu a great location, considering it houses the National Motor Museum, but the house and grounds are lovely too.... Simply Japanese is always well attended, with some truly excellent Japanese cars on display..... So if you're interested, get your names down and your tickets bought. I shall look forward to seeing you there ?

Recently had my front upper control arms powder coated and am aware they are handed. I hole punched the left one so I could identify it. However, I was wondering what the actual difference is between them as I cannot tell from a quick look. I was wanting to double check I had it right.

Hi. I sent all the details in for my zed to get a club valuation, Saturday before last. Just wondering how long it takes, as I didn’t get any confirmation that anything was received, worried email might not of arrived.

So on Saturday, I headed west to Infinity Exhausts - next door to Jimmer - to have a nice new exhaust built and fitted.... ........It looks just like the BB system from America, so the tails fill the apertures in the rear bumper very nicely. I didn't go for an X- or H-pipe link, keeping each side separate, just like my old Mongoose. Mindful that I didn't want it too loud, the guys at Infinity added a small silencer each side, just after the cats.... So it makes a nice burble right out back at idle, yet still remains relatively quiet at motorway speeds. Plus I asked for the tails not to protrude past the rear bumper, like my old system did.... And they got everyt…

Hey, I am installing a Greddy profec B and just want to check opinions on slightly varying info between the excellent z32 wiki, manual and other online info. Wiki diagram runs the vacuum hose from NO on the valve unit to the solid intake pipe going to the throttle body after the intercooler, the manual shows it connecting to the hose at the other side between turbo and intercooler, surely there is more pressure after the intercooler, which is correct or am I overthinking it? Secondly Wiki suggests the vacuum line on the passenger side can be blocked up, other online info suggests to T into NO from both sides, I can see advantages to this in its giving a balanced read…

hi all i'm replacing my injector rail and will need to replace the cushion seals.are these available in the U.K? thanks. Trev.

I have a small leak on my power steering, which I've been topping up with power steering fluid. I've since found out it needs to be automatic transmission fluid, i presume Dexron 3. To replace the power steering fluid with ATF do i need to drain all the power steering fluid out and flush it, or can i just get most of it out and top it up with ATF?

Hi all, thinking of experimenting with some DRLs, I’m looking for a switched live in the engine bay of my 96 TT. (I know I could use a DRL controller board connected to the battery but I’ve had bad experiences of weird behaviour of these on my daily driver so would prefer a simple switched live supply that’s cut out by a relay when lights are on). There is a 10A fuse for the Shift Lock in the junction box that seems to fit the bill, and as my car is a manual I can’t see that it serves any useful purpose. Wiring diagrams seem to concur, but can anyone out there confirm that I won’t generate any unintended nastiness if I tap into that supply for DRLs? I’d rather a…

Posted here because FB not playing. Can't remember where I got this from in 2019 when I was researching my HZ32. Cheers! z32-jdm-production-numbers.pdf

Hi all, I'm after a set of trim tools for interior and exterior trim, but on looking on Amazon etc. there seems to be so many different types! Amazon Trim Tools Can anyone recommend any that work well with the different trim clips etc. on a zed?

I'm trying to install my copy of Conzult on a different laptop as my old one no longer works but I can not get it to connect to the car The light is flashing on the interface but that's it I have a freeware copy and that connects Maybe a problem with the disc ? The program seems to be installed correctly I'm using windows 7 and Conzult v1.3 Has anyone had experience with this or where I can dowload a new copy ? Thanks

Hi All, After my respray having been completed, I’m eager to get my front end covered with paint protection film, as my car will be no garage queen, it will be used a lot over the summer months. As far as I’m aware, PPF is CAD designed for each model of car - well for common cars anyway. The film is then printed in that shape to then be applied directly to the vehicle. For uncommon cars such as ours, I believe the companies cut the film to shape on your car. I will absolutely not have someone cutting a film on my paintwork! as I’m worried the process will nick the paint. Has anybody applied PPF to their cars and if so would there be a file saved with your supplie…

As you may have read, we had a small club stand at the Pageant of Motoring, held in the grounds of Sandringham, to celebrate Her Majesty's platinum jubilee yesterday.... Thanks to Craig and Gary for coming along; it was a real shame that Paul did not make it. We all missed you mate - you weren't the first and sadly you won't be the last... It just serves as a painful reminder to take care in the wet ? Despite that - and the weather - it was still a good show. Sandringham is a lovely venue, with so much more than the cars to see. That aside, here are a few car-related pics of the day.

Had an message from Mark Dodd, owner of the GTR-Registry.com website to say that JDM production data has now been added to the existing information which includes UK/European, American, Canadian and Australian records. https://gtr-registry.com/en-fairlady-z-z32-japan.php Big thank you to Mark and ryzan (Australian owners' association) for undertaking this work to provide a complete worldwide production database to the Z32 community - well done chaps!

While removing my boost pipes to get to my power steering pump i managed to split this rubber hose. It has a little wire brush in it and connects on to the boost pipe and near the throttle spring (pictured).Can you still buy these? Or can i just replace it with a new rubber hose? Sorry for the blurred pictures, i must of got some oil on my camera lens ?

I'm on the hunt for a TT clutch booster and pedal assembly for a manual conversion. I hadn't realised these were NLA so hoping someone here might be able to point me in the direction of one. I've already spoken to Paul over at Banzai Breakers but nothing available at the moment. TIA Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Hey guys, I am regretfully selling my Z! I have it up on autotrader (2006 Silver Nissan 300 Twin Turbo Manual 3.0 for sale for £16,000 in TELFORD, SHROPSHIRE (autotrader.co.uk)) and it's been up there for a couple of weeks now but I've had no calls or real enquiries. Would you say I'm in the right price range? Any recommendations on where else to advertise it or how to sell it? Thanks!

Hi all I'm looking for an original air cleaner box for a z32 Anyone got one for sale Thanks

Hi everyone I've been away from the 300zx scene for quite a while and trying to slowly get back into it. Where are the go-to stores now for parts, etc? I recall I used to use DTA and MJP but it looks like both have closed up now. Do we have any left in the UK / EU? Would be great to save on shipping and import fees if possible! And in the US is it now mainly Z1 and CZP? I'm looking to pull together parts for a manual conversion...?
