The car i'm purchasing is going to have the doors looked at before I pick it up. The car is a swb 300zx tt manual The key fob only disarms or arms the alarm, you actually have to unlock and lock the car with the key (not sure if this is the same with all zeds?) When you unlock the car with the key, open the door and shut it to again (whilst still outside the car) the door locks itself. This happens for both passenger and drivers side doors. Does anyone know why this would happen?

Are auto and manual turbos different?

OK, if I'm going to have my old rims refurbed which option should I go for? Thanks, Mike...

I have been ofered a very nice set of 6 spoke alloys. They are original Nissan (with Nissan centre caps) and are stamped up on the rear with 18 X 8JJ. Offset is 30 (which I belive is correct for the Zed) and it also states CD100 (not sure what this means). Have tried them on and although they appear to fit, they do look a little big but that could be down to the wrong size tyres - 235/45X 18 front, 255/45 X 18 rear. They are in immaculate original condition and I am only paying £150 for them. The tyres are excellent Bridgestone Potenzas - just a shame they are the wrong size. My question is, what does CD100 mean and if I am replacing UK spec original alloys will the…

hi guys, i've noticed knocking when starting car, diagnosis is main bearings (shells) etc. sorry not the most mechanically minded. where would i get them from and who would you guys use to get them replaced - i'm in east anglia but can travel. have you guys had it done and would you recommmend anybody and how much did it cost you? Crank may have to be re-grounded too. ( crap )

I have the option of getting my old rims refurbed. I don't think it's going to be that costly but I am unsure as to whether I should do it or not. I have a number of questions/dilemas. 1. Do I prefer my new rims? I know, it's a stupid question! 2. Would I prefer my old wheels if they have a black centre? 3. Would I be able to sell either of these sets of rims? Bear in mind that the ultimate dream is to respray the Zed to stock black, so the balck rims would look sweet.

Does anyone have a link for the e-manage install guide? I need to remove one today before a RLTC install and it looks like it's tapped into or bypassing half the ECU wires! Any help much appreciated :cool: Steve :)

Let me know 07944 045178 alex@synchronicityfilm.co.uk Cheers Alex

Is anyone actually going to be distributing the Twinz fascias in the UK or was it just a gust of hot air blowing through the forum :rofl: Venom or twinZ :confused:

I was away last week so my would have been sitting in the presumed wet of london for the past 7 days and now will not start. it turns over but will not ignite. i can hear a knocking sound from the rear off side which i guess is the fuel pump so i guess that is fine. strangly when i first went to start it it seemed to ignite once then immediately die but since then no ignition at all. It was behaving a bit strangly before i went away in all the wet and snow by revs dropping low during idle like it was about to stall. It is a daily drive car and leaving it standing for a week seems to do it no good. Another strange thing is that my cobra alarm keeps getting set off as w…

Okay here goes... I love walking back to my Zed and seeing it's low and mean looking front and thinking that's mine. The pulling up at traffic light with the targa's off and getting stared at by silly little boy racers and then watching them disappear rapidly into nothingness in my rear view. The sound as that V6 fires up. Listening to that deep low grumble as I slowly plant my right foot. Thoose twin turbo's kicking in and pushing me back into the very comforty and supportive leather seats. The feel of it under me as it wants to pull away and give me more and more of that lovely power. The look on the faces of those I've taken out in it…

have to stop spending have spent 5 grand in 3 months on car - and i dont really know what on bits and pieces here and there !!!!!!

Hi folks, I am looking for a heavy duty car cover as the Z will be outside for a while. I have heard that the Gold Technalon ones are good. Please let me know if this is the case or recommend me a good one. I have been through the cheapo ones, halfords etc.. and found that within a couple of months they tend to disintegrate. Cheers.
