Hi all, To say I'm fed up with people saying they can do "perfect" jobs and then expecting me to be happy with poor results it's starting to get to me :( The paintshop doing my car ended up saying that the wheels were not part of the job after spraying them but coming out far from perfect so I took them to the company that repaired a dent in my front alloy a few months back. When I went there, they told me that they would be perfect, 100% so happily left them my wheels a week ago to be done. I picked them up Saturday and the first thing I noticed was a pin hole and loads of specs where there must have been dust or particle of something under the paint before the…

Has any other member ordered seat covers and/or boot tidy's from SWBZ? Have you recieved them yet? Ordered mine (and paid via Paypal) some three weeks ago now and they still haven't arrived. :(

Brand New Fuel Pump : £44.50 link Walbro Fuel Pump : £82.00 link New OEM Nissan : ££££ What are your thoughts/experiences with these rather than OEM? I need a new one, its started buzzing on ignition off. Thanks.

Ok why is it never easy to do anything with this car?!?! Just changed my side repaeaters from some clear ones, and switched my hazards on to check they worked. The Passanger side one wasn't working, then all of a sudden all the indicators stopped working. Now none of them work with the hazard switch (not even the green ones on the dash) and the pass side one doesn't work with turn signal or alarm. The rest work fine. HELP!!!!

i've just put the zed back on the road after the winter and the clock has gone off i've checked all the fuses and they are fine, am i gonna have to buy a new 1 or is there an easy, cheap fix. :p

Just done mine using a different method which made it a very easy diy job, check it out :dance: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=92607

morning fellas and ladies , nothing to do with deliverance ....just when i was home and started my zed there is was a high pitch constant squeel from under the bonnet , that goes louder with revs , then after about two minutes it just stops .........but if i put on the AC or put the car under load it starts again briefly ,then stops car runs and revs and ticks over fine no power loss at all , however the battery has been letting me down of late .... my thoughts are alternator bearing gone or problem in that area .....any ideas people ??? Steve :(

Ok, although I've always been into cars and have owned a few high performance turbo cars I'm looking to buy a 300zx TT (Z32) towards the end of the year/beginning of next. Things I know I want are the a for mentioned twin turbos, T-tops and a manual box. I don't want an import if possible, but I heard the short wheel base model was never sold in the UK? Now that's about the extent of my knowledge of the 300zx which is pretty lame hence me asking you guys about them and gaining some knowledge first. Things I would like to know are what should I be looking for, trouble spots, what Modifications to look out for and what ones to avoid. Like I said I know my way roun…

I really hope someone can help me here. I get a red warning light coming on and this just started recently. i have a 1990 TT and i have noticed since this light started coming on my car has seemed to slowed down - i think the turbo isn't actually kicking in? I am not sure but i am assuming its maybe a turbo warning light? It looks a little funny.. kinda like a square with 2 bits coming out either side and seems like its trying to show something is overheating? Maybe someone here has seen it before and can suggest something? i did try search the 'technical' stuff but when you dont know what you are looking for its hard! hope i can get some good advice.... As i'm a fair…

Just to say a big thank you to Paul@SWZ for sorting me out an airflow meter so quickly and for DannyZX for dropping it into work for me today so I could fit it on my lunch break!!

Thanks once again lads, your both ledgends!! :bow: :bow: :)

Right I lost all my favourits and now I can't find Z1 can someone put up a link please.

Was out in Reading last night and the car must of been out of my site for two hours max and when I get back I find the passenger side window has been smashed and they have killed my cd player attempting to yank it out of the dash! :xxx: :mad: I hate these scum that seem to have no thought or respect for anyone elses property or feelings! :cry: Anyway, I am now in need of a passenger side door glass for an import so if anyone has one for sale it would be great as I don't know how long I will have to wait for a new window from Japan if I go through insurance. Be careful where you park your cars at night guys, I just wish I had parked a little near…

Hello all Just ordered some agx shocks, was wondering about fitment?? is it a reasonable job to do yourself??? or have i gotta pay out the £200 the garage want to fit them??? I am gonna combine these with eibach springs, but i getting abit concerned about clearance, because i have 245s on the front the clearance from the top of the 3rd link where the upper camber arm mount from the inner edge of the tyre is minimal, i'm worried that with the eibach springs on the lowering will be so much as to make the tyre and the link touch, which would be a bummer. although the oem shocks are knackered and think this has something to with it??? or is it the fact that the front whe…
