HB mate - have a great day :duffer: :duffer:

Hi Guys, I would much appreciate some help on a couple of questions. i am in the process of fitting the lambo conversion from zcentre. I had to modify the brackets to bolt the panel on to which is no problem - but have noticed that the gap at either end is about 5mm each side. do i need to fill this or once bonded and bolted just leave it. The panel also is proud at the bottom about 3/4 mm - what is the best way to get this to sit flush without damaging the panel. I am assuming that the wiring is straight forward. I am working long hours at present in an area with no mobile signal so cant really try luke - just wandered if anyone had experienced the same and ove…

Been on z1's stie lookin at exhausts, wots does everyone think of the g reddy sp2 exhausts and has anyone tried the labree?

Guys, Sold the Vette, very sad ! :cry: But back in a Zed !! :dance: :) Drove her back home to Airdrie, from Ossett, Yorkshire, some 250 miles and she went great !! Nowt special, pretty standard, except the old set of BBS. loads of service history and she runs real sweet. Oh, specs are Jap Import, Auto, TT, 1990, Metallic Grey. Will get pics up at the weekend. What is it with these cars that get under your skin ?? Alan..........

Thinking of buying a z very soon and need some help from the experts on here ;-) I have seen a 1991 black lwb twin turbo with 70,000 on the clock. The car is owned by an older man who is retiring now and wants something else. He is the only owner since import and has serviced regularly. He has no modes apart from nismo cat back exhausts, on since import. It has full leather which is bloody immaculate. All in he wants £2200. is this too much? too little? Are there certain things to check for when looking at these cars, and if i should get it are there any things you would reccomend i get immediately?? i have an apexi turbo timer/boost gauge already, but are there…

Anyone know the effect of the speed sensor being disconnected from the ECU? While running the power for my amp I noticed a Greddy speed limiter controler cut next to the ECU with one loose wire so I figured it had been disconnected. With some help from the friendly people at 300zx.com I got the wiring diagram for the Greddy and the ECU. :bow: However when I went to wire it up I found that the connector used to splice it into the speed sensor had come un-crimped and the bare wire was laying behind the ECU! I got everything hooked up properly and it seemed to be running smoother and also seems to have more power. Is it just my imagination or does the ECU go into some saf…

hi all, new to this. just bought a mint 300zx tt, import on l plate, bought it from a nissan garage and just having a couple of problems but under warranty so not so bad. The problem is the chorley nissan garage are strugglings to find the solution to the problems. any help would be greatly appreciated. 1. vibration between 40-60mph from back nearside corner. not the wheel balancing gets slightly better after distance so heat makes it better, it can only be described as a wheel bearing noise coupled with an out of balance wheel. strange. 2. knocking when going over bumps from front right, again not as bad when warm. 3.nissan diognosed the vibration as a k…

well the first mot for my Z has come round, im hoping for a clean pass but you never know, be prepared for the obligatory " how do I posts" if it fails :x:

Hi My Zed's still restricted and running in kilometers. I have heard that a chip behind the dash is the easy cure, am I looking in the right direction or am I a total dick.

Ok so hes had my car a week, As i said last time he thinks an injector has gone? So phoned tonight he has the part and hes going to do it tommorow. What else could it be if it doesnt turn out to be the injector.. All have sparks etc he tells me hes ruled out coil packs and the PTU, he says hes cleaned all the connectors, So now hes replacing the injector, So if it isnt that what other options are there ?

hi can anyone tell me what would happen if i put a manual ecu in an automatic car thanx

Anyone got any ideas? I would of kept going back the dealer i bought the car off but hes taking so long to fix this misfiring problem i dont think id want him to do my services/repairs in the future. thing is i dont know of anywhere else I could take it ?

Hey guys, im looking at some forge valves and i need some help?! :( Does the ZTT have an airflow meter? If so is this the right type of valve? or does the ZTT not have an airflow meter? If this is so... is this the right type of valve? :confused: Thanks guys Ethan :)

Hi guyz, I'm looking for z. I've read the buyers guide which is great!! But i was just wondering what exactly is involved with the 60k service? I heard these cars need a big service at 60k obviously cambelt but what else?there seem to be alot of Z's for sale on about 59k. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks. Joel

do zeds have reserve tanks?? (Jap TT) If so, how big are they?? (Im probably being daft asking... but dont wanna chance anything... ) thanks xx

Hi Everyone Sorted out my steamy problem ...kindof Slick Pete came to visit me and after cups of coffee and a new rubber hose problem was alleviated :bow: Got in the car to go to lunch to celebrate, dreaded steam is now coming out of my vents ... looks like the heater matrix thingy has gone So back on the bus for now until I get a new one, as don't want to risk losing lots of water.... I'm slowly replacing parts my zedby next year I think I will have a completely new one :rolleyes: oh well... nearly got excited :( Thanks Pete so much for coming over and helping me out, it is much appreciated ¡Gracias mi amigo!

As all of you dont know, I STILL WAITING FOR MY MONEY FOR MY ZED but im currently studying Automotive Design at Coventry Uni which is most awesome...iv got access to rare book that has concept development of cars from the 60's up to present day. So since we all love the Zed i thought id go very much out my way to get all the info for you all....as far as im concerned they picked the best design out of all of them.....

:bow: :bow: Just checking out a site given to me by Bee Gee Vince, and came across this on their site. http://www.zcarparts.com/shows.htm I know they say that when you visit the US you should take an empty suitcase with you - but I think with this it would have to be a container to ship all the lovely goodies home!! :cool: :dance:

...and i'm not giving to much away but i've figured out a way to give my car something completely unique and possibly market it afterwards. Was thinking of how to update the rear lights, looked at the venom 3 pots etc but i don't know if they'd suit my car. So was thinking if i could update the technology of the present light cluster without touching the lovely oval slits across the back. I'll keep you posted but should be relatively simple i just have to work out the pcb for the boards it'll need. Basic idea is to completely remove the diffusers and use LED technology to replace all the clusters (rear lights, brake lights, indicators, fogs and reverse…
