Hi guys, Has anyone ever used Garage-D in watford to have any work done to their 300zx? i understand that they are 'skyline specialists', and with zen not being in london, i need to find someone local to Harrow who can look after my car when need be! darren

My UK speedo on my UK TT stopped working properly. I got replacement jap dials yesterday and removed the speedo only (not the boost gauge part) fitted a blue 20,000 ohm resistor to the R10 slot. The resistor that was in there before was a 33,000 ohm. Wacked on my UK dial face and fitted the modified Jap clock back into the UK cluster. I put a small cut in the dial face so I wouldn’t have to remove and damage the needle. The Jap dial face went upto 180kph, not sure what the UK shows but they all show the same don’t they? Anyway, the speedo isn’t showing the right speed, it seems to be about a factor of 2 out, i.e. showing 20mph when going 40mph, or it could be an offset…

This is a must for a manual, got it off here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-200SX-SILVIA-S13-S14-S15-300ZX-GEAR-BOOT_W0QQitemZ180103417783QQihZ008QQcategoryZ30861QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem and it’s perfect all the holes are in the right place and the leather is very high quality. looks better than the old one. :D

Hello chaps What do you think is the best size injector upgrade for the zed tt. 555cc or something a little higher????

Popped round to see the fella who did my bodywork for a touch up and low and behold there is a bunch of zeds parked at teh end out the unit workshops. Turns out ethere is a new firm moved in that is braking import cars, zeds etc. Thought I would scope the couple of zeds I parked next to, imagine my supprise when I noticed the 300zx,co.uk stickers on the cars. Obviously owned by members on here but being broken for parts. Shame, plus side is I am in walking distance. Anyone know hwo they are. Stock Road industrial units, Southend.

Great, 3 days after passing the MOT my car died on me on a roundabout. I had steam coming from the engine and water/coolant in my footwell. All the water from the radiator had evapourated and is bone dry. Once got the car towed home I topped up the radiator and left it over night. There is no sign on of any water leaking from under the car but my mats are soaking. Anyone know what this is or how it could be fixed. Guessing a split pipe or something but been reading through other threads and thinking possible heater matrix? Also there is a slight hissing when the car tries to start up coming from under the steering rack/footwell and can see some coolan…

Barry, what you having done at C&S??? I need you to get your heap off those ramps cos i need them ramps and Phil said hes busy working on some crappy red one, presumably its yours, and he cant do mine until hes done yours!!! :tongue: :tongue: Bloody zeds, always breaking and clogging up garages...... ;)

Are these correct?? what would the implications be if they are wrong. they were changed when i bought the car and seem to be burning correctly.

How much does it cost for a blank one of these keys? I saw one on ebay with a buy it now of £100 ($200) is this how much these are worth or is it a mistake? :shock:

I sent an email to api asking if they have got any recon z32 tt engines and got this reply, do they think i'm stupid or what?! Dear Ed Thank you for your interest in API Engines. We do not have any of those suitable for recon at the moment so it would have to be done off your original engine. I would expect the cost to be £2495.00 for the engine work and a further £750.00 for fitting should you need it. Mostly on these cars, many ancillary components are worn out too. such as coil packs that suffer from the heat of the engine and fall apsrt in your hands. together with may of the wiring plugs and connectors. the job can turn into a nightmare i…

Wheres the vac tanks needed for the manual box conversion, thanks

cause thats where my blow off vlaves were off the tee.

I've been toying with the idea of buying a manual ZX recently, not for any other reason but my SLK is an auto so having a manual ZX would be different. Anyway, I've seen a 1994 "L" reg UK spec fully loaded manual advertised in a car dealers near me. It's had very few owners (the last, a Z-club member, for the last 8 years) and it has only covered 70k miles with full detailed history. It's going for £5k. Now I'm very attached to my current ZX - it's a 1991 UK spec with only 88k miles and has never let me down at all. A manual conversion is not an option as I consider it a waste of money; I think it more sensible to replace the car rather than do that. I'm n…

My mate was behind me the other day in his new 3Litre Turbo jeep when I put the foot down and and though I'd be the clever one and zoom into the distance, which I did :D He noticed blue smoke coming out of my exhaust, what does this mean exactly? :shock:

Port Marine is the new development I live in in Portishead. There's a sales office at the entrance and after a bit of a drive around today down the coast, I decided to come home and past this. Now today, there was a flustered looking woman, probably in her mid-50s in the road pointing then made an arms outstretched gesture as I rounded the corner. Thinking there was some kind of problem, I pull over and wait for her to come over...she didn't, so I pepped up and in a loud-ish voice asked what the problem was. She couldn't quite hear me, but came over and bellowed, "what's your problem then?"....to which I replied, "well, I was a bit miffed at your gesture and th…
