Hi there, my insurance is up for renewal The value of my Z for the past 4 years has been 6k I know our prices have risen but at what value should I be thinking of? I know it difficult not seeing the car so here is a bit about it, Imported by me in March 2014 a 91 TT manual pearl white. Past 2 years it has had a manual conversion with new clutch & lightened flywheel + what has been listed below (Exedy PRO-Kit complete clutch kit & bearing) Full 120k cambelt kit change + 6 new coil packs & plugs All new fuel lines done New grooved discs & pads all round (March 2019) Oil change every year regardless of m…

I need to find a mechanic/shop to replace the evaporator core (all other parts newly replaced) for my 1994 300ZX. Phx. Az. area

I've recently deleted my HICAS and only just now put the car back on its wheels and started it to turn it around in my garage. So this is the first time since the delete. I now seem to have no power steering at all. The HICAS light is illuminated but I expected that and I believe there is a wire snip fix for that light, which I was going to do later on? As far as I was aware this wouldn't cause loss of power steering? I have deleted the solenoid completely though and used the common fixing to loop the lines in the engine bay. Are there some additional steps when deleting the solenoid?

No words.

Hello Everyone, I'm new to this Forum I really need your help. This is the first time in trying to change my timing belt and while going through the steps per the Owners Manual, while attempting to remove the bolt on the passenger side, intake camshaft sprocket, the sprocket turned a few degrees to the left of the timing mark that's located on the rear cover. Will this cause anything to be damaged? Can I rotate sprocket back to its original position at the timing mark before I place new timing belt on? Thanks for any help on this matter. I got really nervous when this happened. I had a friend who was holding the inner bolt (10mm) with a socket and ratchet, but…

Hi i have a 1992 2+2 manual z32 with a prop center bearing gone ..best recommendations where to get a replacement from please ?

Does anyone know off hand what thread the lower drain on the aftermarket radiators are? Mine got an issue and before I go down there, I’d rather just have the correct size part to swap over.

Started to get a horrible rattle on the Z at low revs, so i got it on the ramp and noticed the down pipe heat shield is coming loose. I’ve clamped it for now but i want to remove for new, as it has a SS cat back exhaust fitted. Any opinions on what to get? also I noticed that the Co sensors have both been cut, any ideas why someone would do this?

Afternoon, I know the R33 brakes fit the 300zx, are they much bigger than the 300zx standard callipers? Im buying a set tomorrow to get better clearance for a new set of wheels (currently got Evo 8 Brembos and discs on), but don’t want to spend all the money only to find they are too big as well.

Hiya, hope you're all well. I haven't visited for a while - a combination of being particularly busy and also now on an island with no cars (which might mean a nice 'vert for sale later). Reason for the post is that I've just had the renewal notice for www.300zxtt.com which I've had for years but never done anything with. I'm happy to pass it on if anyone here wants it (no charge). You've got until 10 April to pm me. Oh, and for fun, here's me and my ride on this island in 1978 Cheers!

My rear 300ZX panel has stopped lighting up. I think the resistor has failed? Can someone shed a light on what is required? No pun intended ? Arthur

Is it true that I can’t get 99 spec front lights any more, that they are discontinued? I wanted some and most suppliers have discontinued. Z1 say they are getting more (2 months ago) but no one else is saying that.

....As subject, I have finally managed to kill my auto-box after 122k miles. Driving back from Dorset, I was about 40 miles from home, thundering along a dual carriageway, when the 'box changed down to second without warning - and would not, despite anything I did, change back up. I had to limp home avoiding the rest of the A34 and M4 at no more than 40mph so as not to rev the engine to buggery. All I have now are first and second gear - third and overdrive are gone, it seems ? I know an excellent auto-box specialist in Aylesbury, who can do a quality, warrantied full rebuild - he did my red Zed - and it would probably be done within a week. I could final…

Hi folks, Whilst I have been away for a few days, I haven't been neglecting club matters..... I have secured us a stand at The Pageant of Motoring on Sunday 5th June, at the Her Majesty The Queen's residence, Sandringham, Norfolk...... I will post further details in the events section shortly, once I have more details from the organisers!!

Besides Z Centre, are there any other UK supplies of aftermarket parts, primarily spoilers that people use? Or is it imports only? I want a new spoiler as I don't like one on the car but fancy something a bit different to the ones on Z Centre. Thanks

My 94 N/A 300zx stopped cranking, I replaced the starter and the starter relay but still no crank. Whenever you try to crank it a loud squealing noise can be heard from the rear of the car. I can't seem to figure out why it won't crank. If you have any ideas on what I can try to do that would be greatly appreciated!

Now I’ve finally got a 300zx, I apologise for the amount of topics I’m going to create! ? I live in the Bucks/Herts area of the country and am looking for a specialist local to me to look after my Zed in terms of servicing and maintenance. I know Jimmer is the UK God on this matter but logistically it’s not easy for me to get over there. Zed Perfomance in Dagenham good? Cheers

Hi, I have just bought my first 300zx, picking it up Wednesday hopefully! The previous owner has installed a larger set of discs to the front as well as some Brembo calipers from an Evo 8. They are pretty good, however I am looking at getting some new wheels and want to make sure I have got some decent clearance so I can get a somewhat deepdish. Is it worth me going back to standard discs and calipers or is there a decent upgrade that I can do that would still give me good clearance for wheels? Thanks,

Ok I have a feeling I already know what the answer is going to be on this BUT as always grateful for the knowledge of you guys. while lecturing my bro to change the belt on his Alfa GT I realised the Timing belt on my 91 twin turbo in mileage has done only about 16k mainly easy road miles with regular oil changes BUT in terms of age it was last changed 15 years ago. SO - is the belt still ok or needing changed just down to age? Thanks again for any advice.

Is it just me or do I have two left side sunvisors? Should the writing on the visor not be on the other side?

I know this is proabbly a long shot but i have to ask it anyways. Im looking to install the oem power steering cooler into my jdm z32 as a rare modification project that interests me and i have everything to do the install except the power steering cooler as i cant find any for sell on ebay and what not. Ive asked the question here before but no one has ever been able to offer me a chance to buy one. So if someone out there is wanting to sell even a rusty old ps cooler ill take it.

Hi all, I have just installed a haltech platinum plug play ECU and seems to be having issues with it turning on after checking relays and fuses I can see that when the car is in the on position pin 3 on the eccs relay is showing 5v so I replaced the relay with a new one and still same issue, however when I remove the relay and jump the relay connection therefore giving it direct 12v at pin 3 the ecu turns on and it all works like normal. Therefore if it's not the relay what could be causing the 5v at pin 3 instead of 12v I am running no MAF if that makes any difference and the car is a 1991 Any help will be much appreciated

Hi all, I have an aftermarket fob which the previous owner had programmed along with just one key. I would like to have a spare fob and/or get a spare key made, I have tried high street key cutters with no joy. I would be grateful if you could recommend someone where I could get a spare fob programmed and also a spare key cut.
