I understand that we should not have our Zeds MOT'd on the 'rolling road' because it might damage the LSD. Is this actually likely to happen or is it only theoretical? Is it a must that they take the car out with their decelerometer device or just preferable? Discuss..........:D

Well this is my first manual Zed and its a different animal all together from the Auto dribble box! DRIFTING!!! Fook me! Its so easy and readable! Can pull out of roads and go anywhere I want sideways, exactly where I tell it to! :bow: Roundabouts! These are no longer an anoying obstruction but my new playground! :D I'm liking this choosing your own gear milarky you may have guessed!

Had my first kill last night in the new Zed. Scooby WRX thing on a duel carrageway. Both cam off the roundabout im behind him by a cars length and we both floor it in 2nd. By the time I was half way through third gear I was over a cars length in front! :D :smash: :nana2: Scooby driver was well upset his "Ferrari eater" had been whooped! :D

A patch of lacquer & some paint has come off the bonnet of our dark grey zed. It's about the size of a dinner plate! Not sure why....it had been parked under a tree for many months without being used so.... If anyone has a theory as to why it happened as well as advice about how to fix it (will we need to get the whole bonnet resprayed, cost, where to do this etc) I'd be very grateful! Thanks.

when i put my headlights on as normal the dash doesn't light up but I get full beam on :confused: when i put the lower fog lights on, the main beam will come on, and so will the dash lights, but as soon as i turn the lower fogs off, the headlights switch to main beam :confused: i have checked the main beam switch (pushed it back and forth) but it doesn't make any difference. any ideas?

I have a really daft question, i have a 1993 import ZX, are the indiactors meant to automatically cancell? Or not? Seems mad that a car of its specification (when it was new) wouldnt have indicators that automatically cancelled after completing a turn, but then again it is from Riceland

Where can I buy these from ? Also how hard are they to fit ?

couple of questions, i was thinkin of havin my Z converted to manual but due to low prices of zeds at the minute i cant help thinkin about just sellin it and buyin a lower mileage manual, only thing puttin me off the idea is i know what needs sorting on mine (for now) and the next one i buy could be a complete scrapper, so i was just wondering if i was going to sell mine how much should i ask for? its a 1993 uk spec tt series two auto,127k with full history(just had service so got a new stamp) full heated leather, new front tyres (eagle f1's) plenty tread on the rears, brand new stainless cat back exhaust (about 2 weeks old), brand new ripspeed head unit with motorised to…

Hello, Wondering if someone could tell me where I could get replacement tyres for our standard UK spec wheels? Thanks!

Ive finally got round to having the funding to revive the Z. Ive had the cursed water pump replaced and the car has sat for a good couple of months. I started it today with no problem and it ran smoothly at a normal idle. Trouble is, there is a knocking coming from the rear of the engine which I don't like the sound of. Im hoping that its just because its not had a good run or service for a while. Trouble is, it did overheat for a while before I had the pump diagnosed. It was turned off straight away and not driven but I have heard bad stories about this. Any thoughts? Please try not to se[ress me too much though!

Recieved the lighter today. very pleased top quality cant fault it one bit. Packaging is one of the best. Top job speed freak thanks a lot crap camera doesnt do it justice

as per title, any1 know what colours were available for this series? iv had a browse through andyps site to no avail, though i could have had a 'womans look'! all i could find is that 'Off-white 'Pearl' color is dropped. Future 'pearls' are more of a semi metallic white'.

Is that a good price? http://www.nemesisuk.com/mm5/merchant.mvc? HKS - GT Sports Turbo Kits for Nissan 300ZX Z32 with VG30DETT (GT2530) Code: 1104-RN041 Price: £2800.00 (+ vat) Quantity in Basket: none

Never had a car fail on this issue before, but my local MOT station have failed a 300ZX because the dip beam is "switched off" whilst the hi-beam is on... what is the easiset solution to remedy this and also do we have any MOT testers on the club who can confirm whether this is an MOT failure issue!! Thx Lee Also now have the same issue with a R33 Skyline which does the same!!

hello all, i bought a os giken twin disc for my z32 TT. And i tryed to install it today but it won't fit :( There is 8 hole on my cranckshaft and the flywheel from the os giken as only 7 :( :( :( Also, i call the guy in the USA that sold it to me and he confirm it was install on his 300zx TT 1995. My Z is from 1992, is there any difference beween the crankshaft? :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal
