OK Im in two minds of what to do, ive owned my zed for about 3yrs now and wanting to start modding it in a big way but ive had a notion for a escort cossie for a long time now and i just dont know whether to sell up and go for the cossie or to start the modding prosses on my zed! The other thing is that my zeds a standard 93spec uk spec tt manual with only 50k on the clock and in mint condition! All the orginal stickers full service history etc etc etc, the only thing that it has is clear side repeaters. It just feels like a shame to start modding it now! :nono: I was thinking of buying another zed that has a bit of work done but this will mean i have …

Does anyone know what the output voltage and frequency is of the inverter that drives the illuminated rear panel???

hi guys, i have a 1992 uk car and will be fitting a 99spec front bumper, has anyone had any issues with the tow hook being in the way? darren

I love my Z32 tt more than any other car ive owned, even though i have done less than 500 miles in 18 months. Partly because of a gearbox failure, & partly because i got fed up with it. Just put my autobox back in with new seals & a new torque convertor still no drive ................ :cry: I guess the box is knackered, btw it was nt cheap, but had it about a year so i suppose i cant complain now, thought it was T/C .been in /out 3 times now :shock: but i do have a spare lol :cool: I have bought a few over time, anyway ordered new propshaft bolts today, as the last set where ***** So monday will start over again lol …

I am getting conflicting reports from different people, I want to buy these wheels at the weekend please help me ? ? ? :nana2:

I had the thought of painting my drab grey front and rear brake calipers red with the nissan logo in white. But the 300zx server manual often mentions do not remove x bolts from the calipers. Can i dismantle the brake calipers to just the housing to paint them red?

I'm having trouble removing the sticker on the bonnet. I've tried the kettle method but it doesn't soften it at all because it's not like vinyl graphics that peel off easy. The only possible way is if it's sliced with a razor bit by bit and it looks as if someone had allready had a go at that.........any other ideas??

hello all , back from Kazakhstan , nicer weather here by the way .. can any body tell me which cable ( what colour is the battery constant 12v+ feed on the ignition switch ??? any pictures greatly appreciayed as i am colour blind so blue is the same as red to me ......hey we cant all be perfect :nana2: cheers guys and gals Steve

Gday fellas, i have tracked down one of my timing issues with my Zed. i have a Jspec TT 2+2 ,manual. my car was converted from auto 2 manual in japan. The ppl that did my conversion havent hooked up my neutral switch, the physical switch is hanging out of the tranny but there isnt anything connected 2 it. is there any way i can connect 2 female spade connectors and wire them up 2 the harness 2 save myself buying a new alternator/tranny harness... I found this post very helpfull but it still leaves a few questions unanswered. [ http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=1001668&forum=technical&dtSearch=4 ] Over and out,…

Righto, I'm getting what feels like a wiggle coming from the rear, yes that sounds funny I know, but seriously guys....... Now, the best way to describe this is that only at speeds over 40 or so whenever I go over those painted lines that you usually get on approach to a junction, you know the ones? ripples, cracks or even cats eyes if I hit them right, I'm getting a weird steer from the rear feeling, kind of wobbles about and I find myself gripping the wheel to fight it ffs. So I'm thinking is this could be a problem with the hicas, the hicas light doesn't come on, only apart from when you switch the ignition on and goes off when engine starts, which is normal,…

You were heading down The Street through Tongham towards the A31. Couldn't make out any details such as colour or any level of body detail as my glasses had buckets of condensation on them- I was in the bunch of 6 mountain bike riders going the other way. :)

I read in a few threads earlier in the year, and a few years ago that there was someone who sold a double din 300zx dash board. Would really appreciate one of these as i have a full kenwood pack including bluetooth and ipod and sat nav, and im quite partial to my double din to be honest. Any help much much appreciated.. Failing that, how would you like a little weekends work legrath??

i think someone doesnt like vents! http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=25181 found it while lookin for somethin "chav" to laugh at.

Thinking of buying this http://www.cruising4pussy.co.uk/store/product_info.php/products_id/267 It's really only for when i come over to the UK as i always stay in hotels, cars don't get nicked over here, well 3 did last year but they were found next day, lol anyways, anyone got one of these type of alarms ? anyone had Bob fit it as i'd prefer him to. :) it works of a mobile sim, if i get a simple pay as you go UK sim, do you HAVE to keep topping up the sim to retain it ? over here you must add at least 20 quid a year to retain a payg sim. cheers smithy

black Z coming out of ASDA Grangemouth today, nice motor and even nicer looking driver ;).
