Hey guys, can someone clarify that when the 'CLOSED THROTTLE' module is selected we're looking for the reading to be '1', same as a multimeter to show continuity? Pretty sure my TPS is rooted as I can't get 0.4-0.5v when throttle is closed. Presuming it's a 1 for closed?

I know this is a polarising mod but I am fitting a NA rear end to my car. A lot of the appeal is the opportunity to hammerite and re bush the back end with it on the floor, not on the car. The gearing thing is a nice extra for me, but the weight saving should be great. I already have the back end, I would like some advice and guidance for the other bits I'll need. I will get my one piece prop modified to fit. I think I will get upper camber arms but keep all the others stock. I don't want to ruin my NVH and shake my teeth out. So which bushes should I go for? I am happy to just loop the PS back to the TT resivoir. New wheel bearings too…

To start with, I'd like to say that this is only about the standard Sumitomo calipers, not Brembo upgrades or anything like that :) Anyway, I have a set of alloy calipers on my Zed at the moment and a set of cast iron calipers that I bought to refurb. I think right in saying that the alloy ones have the "ribs" around the piston mounds on the outside, whereas the iron ones don't have these... is that right? Which are the better (or more preferred) calipers? I seem to recall there was some issue with warping with the alloy ones, or is that a bit of a myth? So, which set of calipers am I going to be better off refurbing - alloy or cast iron? :)

Car is now off the road till the weather improves in March/April. I'm no mechanic but do like to play around and sort what I can. I hate how cluttered the Zed engine bay is know guys delete certain things. Just now I'm trying to get the air regulator off and it's just a pain, so would like to delete what I can to make things less cluttered and easier to access. What would you recommend deleting guys?

So, my Zed is going in for a respray early next year. I still want it red, maybe a little more of a vibrant shade but the thing I can't decide on is whether to have the moustache sprayed black/dark grey or whether to leave it off as it already is. Any preferance guys?

Used in the Tokyo Drift movie and was the personal Z of Takashi is for sale in the UK. How much guys??????

Hi Folks, here is my story so far - I have drawn a blank so hope someone out there can help as I am slowly going crazy!! Speedo stopped working and power steering got heavy. removed clocks and re-soldered all connections on the speedo PCB replaced clocks - still no joy fitted secondhand set of clocks - still no joy fitted new VSS - still no joy so, now I have two sets of clocks and a spare VSS. Checked old VSS with multimeter and it's OK To eliminate this problem being the clocks, is there any way I can connect the VSS directly to the clocks whilst out of the car and if so what colour wires do I connect from the VSS to the speedo mylar sh…

As no one has started a thread on my favourite colour I will start it of with this baby.

I know we spoke of this Z before (silly location of the fog light) but looking at it again it has a few extras that the seller has missed or he just knows very little about these cars. It has a very nice Nardi steering wheel and take a close look at the rear side windows. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/used-cars/nissan/300/used-nissan-300-peterlee-fpa-201510077577674?logcode=p

Never seen a UK yellow300zx before and this one owner, low mileage Z is a nice example and maybe a one of. Unless you know better :) http://www.autotrader.co.uk/used-cars/nissan/300/used-nissan-300-3-0-zx-targa-3dr-cricklewood-fpa-201510167906705?logcode=p

Has anyone here got an arch rolling tool and can do my arches for me?

Gumtree link This is the one that JaiKai went to look at for me last year in Troon - the price just keeps going up!!

I will be upping the power of my z soon, what is the best tyre (17") to achieve substantial grip. Thoughts

Does anyone know how SLICKTOP has his impul lenses tinted black like: I have access to a laser cutter so if i could buy tinted acrylic then i could cut that to shape, otherwise i thought about 5% window tints to cover it, or spray it with niteshades but i don't think it would look that good. Any ideas?

Just spotted this on ebay if anyones interested.... looks tidy:) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300-Zx-Fairlady-Z-Twin-Turbo-2-2-Auto-Just-32-752-Miles-Imported-98-/131637408336?hash=item1ea6337250:g:0PMAAOSwhcJWLfa6#ht_10361wt_1141

Does anyone want to do my water bypass for me? Bit to much of a job for me to do Was thinking of getting the matrix hoses done at the same time.

A few of the connectors on my zed engine are needing replaced. Namely the air regulator and both the idle valve connectors. They are cheap in the US at around $6 but shipping is crazy expensive. Z Centre do them but but around £12 a connector which is insane. Are there any other Nissan cars that we can get these same/similar connectors for? I've managed to do this with other cars, but not sure which other Nissans may have what we need. Or can anyone suggest another seller of these? Thanks guys.

The lever will not effectively open the boot, when you pull the lever it just wont unlatch unless you have one person lifting the boost and the other pulling the boot. I guessed that the wire was just not taught enough to pull the latch open but i took apart the lach and but a bolt spacer on the wire so it would act tighter, but it still didn't fix it. Has anyone had this issue and if so how to fix? i did have a look at the lever side but i was not in the position to lift up the carpet to just fix one lever. It's ok i can just use the key to open the boot but not ideal.

Hi Guy,s, The time has come due to my health to say goodbye to my Z Full details of spec, spares, goodies etc , plus fotos will be on here tomorrow, or as soon as my wife writes a book on it lol Thanks Keep on rockin guy,s Chris

2015 Nissan 300ZX Z32 Twin Turbo (2015-10-24 13:45:56)

In case anyone is interested this zx has some nice features in it. it has recaros, brembo brakes, nice rims, braided break lines and a stainless exhaust, would make a nice track car. - - - Updated - - - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300ZX-twin-turbo-/331687087598

Just finished my 350 drift to go with my 300 what do you all think

pretty sure i know the answer to this but after fitting a pretty much straight through exhaust im getting intermittent blue smoke out of my passenger exhaust im guessing its turbo seal time but it being intermittent seems odd. Always at idle but will be fine for a day then just do it while sitting thanks in advance :)
