Here she is on my big day. [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img]

Got detoured through Willingham 'cause on an accident at about 4.30 this afternoon. Low and behold, saw a standard looking red Z on a private plate.

Well finally got my heater matrix done today. Moved onto the rear wheel wobble. Pass side is fine, solid. Drivers side, hold the wheel on both sides and it rocks. Looked underneathe and its the arm that goes into the rack, by the rubber gaitor. Also, held it top and bottom and that rocks too. Looks like the whole hub rocks. Def a problem and dont think it will pass a MOT. Any ideas? I didnt want to take the rear rack off, running low on money. If one sides good and the others bad, is it a chance somethings loose?

Does anyone know what the idler bearings should be torqued to :confused:

finally got a garage to look at my car with lumpy running and top end sounds, they checked it but couldnt say what it was without striping it down, so was going to arrange to get it looked at in detail. got back to work the next day and one of the lads came to look at it and after doing the compression test found out that one of the exhaust valves had gone, so now armed with what was wrong with the car it was time to get it sorted. drove home and just before pull on my drive BANG goes the valve into the piston HAHA cant believe it but now getting another second hand engine in and gearbox so cant wait to get the car back, just thought id let you all now about my luck haha …

I know this should go in the wanted section but this section gets read more often and I am desperate. Anyone know where I can get a clutch master cylinder, second hand is fine.

Finally decided on a design. Should be ready to pick up from Image in about 6 weeks (they've got a bit of a back log at the moment as all the race teams are clammering for alloys for the new season. And they've got even more motorsport business than usual with BBS going bust). They'll be 19" rims, 10" wide on the front and 12" wide on the rears. The main guy Harry is coming over to measure them up personally so he can set the centres right back to give them a very deep dish. Photos from the alloys on their display stand:

Anyone done it or got any Tech specs at all to what I need for the old zedster. I know the tank has to be double the volume of the piping to it excluding the baffles, but will I need to T both breathers into one line or will I have to have a dual feed tank.???? My PVC's are full of oil again and smoking for Britian everytime I've been sat on the motorway at about 3000 to 3500 rpm Then come off and drive round town it smokes like a t@wt. If I use A roads and nail it it don't smoke when i then go into town.

Could someone confirm if these are the correct OEM tyre sizes? Front: 225/50/16 Rear: 225/50/16 (J-spec) 245/45/16 (UK) Cheers. :)

Anybody know the sizes of the windscreen wipers? so I can pick some up from hellfords on my way home tonight. Cheers Paul

saw this and had to show you lot http://www.carpoint.com.au/used-car/NISSAN/300ZX/Victoria/2294614.aspx

for the front, Where can i get em from, and how much? getting tired of swapping my tyres over every 5 or 6 months..lol its lowered by about 35mm and keeps eating the inside edge of the fronts leaving oodles of miles left in the rest of the tyre..lol thanks guys

after 4 months of no sleep waiting on the car arriving from japan its now finally road legal, and i'm tempted to sell it already as it really isnt a road car,to do 30mph you have to sit in 2nd or it jumps along the road,the clutch(os giken triple plate) really is an on off switch, i dont care if i sound like a pussy but it really is just too fast :o every gear once you hit 4k the world warps around you and you go deaf as the screamer pipes engage :smash: its just far too extreme to use as a fast road car 100mph+ is instant,theres no playing with scoobs or anything anymore even pulled away from a gallardo without too much effort(which was when it sunk…

I am planning having a full respray soon. I am thinking about BMW Alpine White. Does anybody know any Zed's in this colour? or if not do you think it will suit the car?

Does anyone know how to get in touch with Russ at 300zx styling or if he is still in business? cheers ronnie

Of the two senders in the top water tube, which one is for the ECU and which one is for the gauge. Can I remove the gauge sender and put in my after market one.

eh up chaps just doin a bit of research for my new toy. i currently have a series 2 93 zed which has pretty much all the toys u can get... dual elec heated seats, digital climate, cruise, etc etc. What i am curious to know is, what am i going to gain and what am i going to lose buying a version S Z (95+)? I am aware that the version s came with a drivers airbag and that it no longer had a boost gauge in the dash (which isnt really much of a problem as the stock one was always unreliable), but what else will i lose or gain? im told nissan started to scrimp a bit and went cheap on the interior/gadgets in the later specs... any help or advise would be apprecia…

Hi Chaps. Having a problem with a bad connection from what my friend informs me is the main engine fuse. Forgive my ignorance, it's the big sucker with a blue wire loop coming out of it. Can any body tell me what I need to ask for? and any guidance as to where to get one. Always appreciate the input. Look after 'em

As some of you might know, im in the middle of having my engine rebuilt. The engine is basically finished but when we came to last turbo, we found the braided hose that came with it didnt fit. Phil at C and S Woods rang Smithy to see if he could supply, but Smithy couldnt but gave us a company who maybe able to supply an adaptor for us. The following day Smithy found a spare oil feed line he had and sent it to Phil just incase it would fit and yes it did :) Just asked how much I owe and he said dont worry about it! Great bloke, always been helpful in the past and now giving advice on home extensions lol. Great trader for the 300zx.co.uk community. Ba…

1990 J/spec. Replacement rear dampers. F/OS and R/NS corners replaced from donor cars. 17" rims. 235/45 on front and 265/40 on rear. Why is this car not handling? My Mitsi Shogun Sport handles better than my Zed! :headvswal Have been having handling probs for YEARS. JeffTT spotted damage to F/OS and R/NS steering assembly probably caused by curb hit damage after a spin. He replaced these corners from a donor car and driving it back was a dream. A couple of weeks later and I'm kinda back where I started. Slowly, the handling has worsened. I am now getting 4 wheel drift on right hand bends and on left hand bends the car starts to lean into the corner, then…
