I was recently unfortunate enough to pull out of a junction in front of a vauxhall omega :mad: It was totally my fault and although the omega was a write off the only thing that i damaged was bumper, drivers headlight and drivers intercooler as the car seemed only to be pushed down by the impact. It still runs etc but when it went to the bodyshop to be put on the dozer for straightening it couldnt be held down enough and have now been told it will prob have to be jigged :cry: I dont think there is any actual chassis damage but the nose cone is twisted and about 10 to 15mm out. My dilemma is do i fix it or do i buy new one and strip mine to sell parts :confused: …

Well sorted the non starting prob's and while it ticking over nicely, thought i' give it a little rev to help clar out the unburntfuel and soot from the over fueling so revved her up a few times to about 2500rpm, and let off, had a smile starting to form waiting for the PTSSSSHHHHHH...... and........and....... and fook all thats what! no noise not even a hiss WTF ibought these second hand from a long established member,so i doubt very much they are nackered, and it started to rain so didnt want to get under the car (fitted in place of recircs)to have a look and see if it's got screws or something, i dont remember seeing any, Any Ideas???? they're of Blitz flavo…

Has anyone got any pics of any of the Veilside Gt wings or the Wings West universal carbon spoiler fitted to a 300zx?

And Buying a 350Z :x: What do you think?

Futher to my last thread (Poss PTU knackered) thougt i'd start another one with ohter little probs now!! :headvswal :headvswal Well it's not the PTU, one of the Mrs mates is round, fella prob's by the sound of it!! So used the time to nip out to the garage, changed one more spark plug, and conected the coil pack to another new one and it sparks.. so thats ok,and then she started!!!! but was running like shit!! only ticking over with my foot onthe gas.... and i mean only just... about 3 - 400 rmp, oil pressure gauge showed nothing... then it started to move very slowly and settled at just under half way, which seamed strange, as normaly it's straight up there, but …

I have got a spa gauge that reads oil pressure and coolant temp. It sometimes drops out showing negative oil pressures and was told by the previous owner that it might be a dodgy contact where the sender is contected on a sandwhich plate with the filter, so when i did my oil change recently i pushed it around a bit in the event i might get lucky and make a better contact. I dont think it made much difference but a couple of days later the gauge went completely dead with no readings or any sign of power. There is a small leak in my windscreen that lets a bit of water near my pods when it rains hard and it had been around that time. What has caused the failure and how ca…

:duffer: have a wonderful day and put your feet up. Love Me and the kids :dance:

who's selling? click me and me

thinking of going the aem way is this a good mod or is it too much hassle to set up, if so who has the maps to get it set up , or who can do it on the rolling road for a good price.?or is it overkill with a engine rebuild/jwt sports 650 and forged pistons/555cc inj etc. richard

click me for ebay Zed I think it looks ok and a real good price at the moment!

Ive got the clocks out so thought i might aswell clean it up. I dont want to take it out though as the clocks were hard enough so im after some kind of product like back to black but thats preferably not a spray, something like a wax but that is a black paint type thingy whojuwotsit.

Now it's been agreed we'd not swap our Zeds for a frog on a roller skate. How about one of these? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/122547.htm TVR engine (maybe / maybe not a good thing?), looks fantastic. Yes please anyway.

Is this a members car, just found on another website

I moved house about a month ago. Today I sorted out the garage so I could keep my 300ZX in there. It's a really tight fit thought the door - I have to fold the mirrors in to get it in (thank god they're the electric folding ones). Is it worth the hassle of carefully putting it in and out? Will living outside cause it any problems? Or is it worth the time (and risk I scratch it) to keep it in the garage?

Is the lower control arm the same for all 300?? http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=54501-Z320289

Anyones here?

The vans, What sort of distance do they detect you at? Was coming home this arvo down the A11, turned round a bend and saw one of the lil gits on a flyover bridge, he was a fair distance away i was doing bout 85 and anchored on down to 70 soon as i saw him, there was also a car infront of me at the time. Dont know if he would of got me?

Went out in the beast today round mansfield, on the journey home i saw a scooby on the horizon, (which isnt rare, theres loads round here) anyway got behind it and it was a new one, WRX STI blah blah blah. I dont know what that means, i was looking for a badge that just said 2.5 turbo or something. No one was coming down the other side so i decided to try and overtake..... and it was soooo easy, i thought he wasnt trying but then he started to comeback, we got side by side, but i pulled away from him and was away :dance: :dance: . Should a 300zx tt beat a wrx sti or was the scooby just not trying?

anybody give me advice on the electric cooling fan . as mine is running constantly . from the moment you start the engine it's running . i have read that this fan is powered from the ECM [ECCS CONTROL MODULE] . IS THERE A WAY I CAN STOP THE FAN [OTHER THAN DISCONECT IT] . DO I NEED A NEW CONTROL MODULE OR ECM OR ARE THEY THE SAME . ANY INFO WOULD BE GREAT . CHEERS :smash: :smash: :smash:

What sideskirts are these aswell? And im guessing that its the standard rear bumper here? Thanks

just got this, not a bad fit cost me £76 from a place called cover-zone, also went to my mates mew body shopthat just about to open on thursday and saw his new car

which of the parts in the photo is the 'circlip', and is it vital to the installation of the shifter?

Just fitted a new engine about 2000 miles ago with bigger turbo's, pistons, intercoolers and injectors and running it in on a 555 chip until i can get my aem ecu mapped up. Everything was running fine until last night when i broke down! The car would turn over but not start until it had cooled down then once warmed up again it would die. i noticed the wiring harness going to the knock sensor was damaged so i repaired it but the car still cuts out once warmed up. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Just looking at the steering wheel boss that I have and wondered what makes it special that it works with the HICAS? Vijay
