I'm planning to change my nose panel & have a z badge which is 10.5 cms across! Is it too big?

He is trying again lol http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300zx-TWIN-TURBO-STROSEK-WIDE-ARCH-BODYKIT-15000-/291583048839?hash=item43e3b43c87

This has happened intermittently for a while, basically the fuel pump makes a slightly higher pitched whining noise than normal, engine cranks but no joy. Then sometimes it fires normally, very odd and I heard it might be the PTU so dremelled it open only to find all connections were good, cleaned the plug connections too while I was at it, still the same. Any thoughts guys?

I visited a scrap yard today expecting it to be a LWB and to my surprise it was a shorty targa, that matters not with tail lights I am well aware. It's always best to examine them first hand as pictures can be misleading, I negotiated a price and began my work. As soon as I removed the twisty bolts on the boot panel I noticed the original Altia inverter ! Anyway, still with my poker face carefully I removed all 3 pieces, got a few more bits off the old girl that were very tidy, I plan going back as I was not blessed with much time. Got home and plugged it in - happy days, not sure what I'm going to do with the 26 year old item :cool3:.

1992 Nissan 300ZX SWB TT Manual (2015-10-06 15:31:15)

Just bought a replacement stereo for the 300 I've been on the lookout for a suitable replacement for this Managed to pick this up- It's supposed to be unused- nakamichi cd45z I'm sure it will split opinions but it's just the look I'm after plus it has an aux in so I can plug my phone in.

Does any know what is the size of the Halo / Angel Eyes required for the 99 Spec replica headlight insert? Any recommendations where I can get one? I would prefer LED type but may consider a Solid ring in white. I know the HALO/Angel eyes look good with the normal headlight inserts, how does it look with the 99-Spec headlight insert?

2 £6 parts can make, had the annoying tailgate rattle for a while so i placed a couple of small pieces of vinyl from my retrim under each one as a test and it reduced it considerably. so i bit the bullet and bought 2 new tailgate bump stop rubbers, the difference, was quite a surprise the old rubbers had gone hard where the new ones are pretty soft but where the old ones have compressed there was a 4-5mm height difference between new & old. result is no more tailgate rattle! part number for the rubbers is 90878-30P02 if you are thinking of changing them.

Hi Guys, So I decided to give my paint a bit of attention today seeing as I am sprucing up the interior - I bought a rotary buffer, and some polished and compounds from halfords. i wasn't expecting too much, but the finish has completely removed the swirl and any small scratches from the car! Actually really impressed on my test panel and will be applying this to the whole car next week. I used G3 professional paint renovation after a full wash and polish from the local garage, buffed that over the panel for a couple of minutes. Wiped down with a microfiber, and then polished with an auto glym super resin to leave a deep dark shine. So yeah very impr…

So I fitted what I could of my exhaust today, backboxes, centre section with H-pipe. When it came to the 2 front sections that come down from each turbo, I found one side would not fit. I'm putting this down to them being modified to fit the old turbos and manifolds. So what is it I'm actually looking for, decat pipes? Is there a difference between SWB and LWB?

Unusual but nice wheels on this 300zx imo. Anybody know what make they are?

..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300Zx-Fairlady-Z-Breaking-For-Spares-/381418645786?hash=item58ce52a91a It's missing the tailpiece badges that sit on the sides of the tips. I am not 100% sure as you can't see the main badges on the cans, but this could be a Veilside system - I know there are a few people looking for these.

Hi guys I'm delighted to say I am now back on the road in my Z :cool3: She's been off the road since Dec 20th last year and to be honest was running like shit for several months prior to that What finally killed her (I thought) was the piston rings failing when I went up to Blackpool to a christmas Do - but according to Lee Dent who stripped her down it was actually two pistons melted!! And to think I actually limped it all the way back from Blackpool to Stoke in that condition! Says something for the resilience of these cars I guess. Anyway I now have my original engine back in place, not the one that Noz sold me. The original engine always see…

Hi all I'm starting to think about my next round of upgrades/restoration parts I'm sure several of my injectors are blocked/stuck open which I'm quite sure is my own stupid fault for not cleaning out the fuel line before connecting it all up. I already replaced one as I has a misfire. Replacing them is no big deal but I'm wondering what to replace them with. Stock would be the most simple/ cheap as they will drop in and require no chip etc but will not give me any future proofing 550 nismos would be great as they drop in but require an obvious remap- they would have enough capacity for me I think but are real expensive 750 nismo/ jecs etc wou…

I have just had the pleasure in collecting my zed up from Jimmer at powerzed toady. it had all the suspension changed and full big brakes set up - service, mot and ebc fitted plus a host of jobs that he picked up on that would have caused issues in the future. I have to say I am well pleased with everything Jim has done - it is by far the best service I have ever received in my life - communication and attention to details was outstanding - pictures taken at various stages - The car drove better than it has ever before. Would recommend Powerzed to everyone - well worth the 2 hour drive each way. Many thanks Jim for all your hard work kindest regards dave

So my cousin has bought this. He is looking after my zed atm too so has an awesome driveway. Problem is he bought is a bit blind, it seems a really good car but we don't know anything more than this advert. (It was a suprise to me by the way I knew nothing till the picture came through) Im a but concerned that it has an aftermarket turbo, exhaust and intercooler and hasn't been mapped at all. And it has BOVs. I will be grateful for any advice or knowledge you guys may have to help us make this car all it can be. Thanks.

Apparently it's an 'upgrade'

Hi can anyone tell me were the Fuse box is for the cigarette lighter I done a search on here it say driver side footwear I had a look but can't find it unscrewed the cover below look like heater tube any pictures would be handy thanks Stephen

Alright guys. Had this problem recently where my passenger cluster rear light's won't work... after a bit they turn on. I have just looked at the light sensor thing and I have noticed it smells like slight burning and also I notice it's slightly brown on both sides near the resistor? Could this be the cause?

Hi all, With all the body work mods I also wanted to make the Z feel more like most big luxurious cars. Cutting out road noise as well as making the car feel more solid. Also by having 12j and 10j wide tyres, poly/solid bushes though out and quaife diff/leader gear set up I was experiencing droning from the straight cut leader gear and more road noise from the tyre's. So I set out to fully sound deadening the car using 2 types of sound deadening. I used: Silent Coat 2mm Damping Mat uses mass loading to lower panel resonance and absorb structural vibrations, Stop those nasty rattles, eliminate road and outside noise, insulate your vehicle and dramatically imp…

Just come back from Tenerife, while I was there I needed my dose of petrol and found these whilst lying on my sunbed by the pool lol! Don't know if anyone's already seen them: And: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=

Seen about 5pm yesterday by Asda, Abbey Park. Think I saw it earlier in the week on Beake Av. Coventry.

Was out having fun in the car last week until it decided to keep going forwards in traffic when I put my foot on the clutch lol... I had launched it quite heavily a minute or so before but now it's broke :( Getting it on the ramp tomorrow to see what the hell has happened to it - the clutch presses down and the slave appears to be moving the normal amount - but I cannot select any gears with the engine running. The only way to move the car is by starting in gear and letting it roll forwards then start driving but only in that gear. So I was wondering what might have gone wrong? Snapped fork maybe? Any thoughts guys?

Now that all my components of the gearbox have arrived. Anyone got recommendations on what oil to use ?

Hey guys. On the intake you have the air filter then the maf. Then it forks off. Does anyone know the diameter of the holes on the intake pipe please? Thankyou
