Well I snapped two of these buggers. So need new ones, can't seem to find on eBay not sure where else to try?

My local Nissan dealership sourced me a left hand door scraper moulding in 2 days! Apparently Nissan have a massive warehouse in Amsterdam. Now it will look pretty at JAE tomorrow.

Well I put up a few pics etc in my build thread but I thought I would make a brief collection of my cars journey Picking the car up in January 2010 Moving house after most of the metal work was completed Underside painted and mostly together Engine going in And finally passing its mot after 5 1/2 years

Right, I've searched and searched but can't find anything definitive so now I'm asking: How do I wire my rear fog light (O/S chamber on rear panel) into the JDM front foglight switch? I'm more than happy to sacrifice the front fogs - I just want to use the existing switch to operate my rear fogs. Idiot-speak more than welcome! :lol:

Assorted pictures from the recent run in France over 5 days and 1600 miles. Thanks to Simon and Joel for an unforgettable experience. Day 1 - Home to Eurotunnel then Le Mans to meet up with Simon and then on to our first night's stop at Berry-Bouy. Day 2 - South to the Millau Viaduct and then our second night's stop at Saint Jean de Cuculles.

Not only is the manifold/downpipe leaking making it sound like a tractor now there's a squealing noise on full boost at 20psi but no noise at 16-17psi. Any ideas. I've added a video in second gear full throttle at 20psi. Problem after problem..... Was just thinking, could it be the exhaust leak making that noise once it at full pressure?

Yes, you heard it here first! I've been umming and arrrrring over my spoiler for quite a few months now and I have come to the stark realisation that I really do want a change from my 99-spec. It won't happen until next year, but the choice in spoiler I've gone for is a TwinZ Type 1, the very same as JoelyP's. I've totally fallen in love with it after viewing Joel's car out on the open road for many hours at every conceivable angle! I also think I am going to get some MeisterR coilovers so that I can mess about with the rear ride height a little more as it just doesn't sit quite how I'd like it. I said I was finished with bodywork - but nope, I really want a change!

Hi All, I've owned my Zed for 5 months now and during that time I've had many ups but prob more downs! I've put blood, sweat, tears and more money than I ever planned on doing in such a short time but finally, I feel like its all starting to be worth it. (I really hope I didn't just jinx myself then!) Anyway, there is still abit to do but I thought I'd share some pics from since I got the car to now, apologies but there is quite a few:whistling:

one of my projects for winter is gonna be finding and fitting a one piece prop i know jefftt was doing these but now he has retired does anyone do them on here? dan.

all my pictures i upload recently seem to be at 90 deg. they are the right way up on the pc etc, i have even tried to save them on the piss so they would hopefully come out right side up but to no luck!!! help what am i doing wrong!

Ok A while ago now I bought some new window nylon runners online from a site in the states ( conceptZperformance) got them and installed them but still have the same rattle, by browsing the net it seems that these nylon runners are meant to have a cap on each to make it fit snuggly in the runner., mine did not come with any! does anyone have some for sale? and also has anyone else had this issue? without the caps being supplied as ive read that they don't send them out with the nylon runners.. ..

eBay link He's selling his SWB manual... except it's a LWB!! I despair sometimes.....

After buying my Zed at the end of 2011 with a blown headgasket it went into storage for a while before I began work on it. Turned out it was a bit of a dog once I got into it. So I've given her an overhaul and last night I primed the oil galleries, popped the fuel pump fuse back in and turned her over....

Where the best place to buy new parts for the 300zx. Most places seem to concentrate on upgrades, custom and mods.

The rebuild is complete and its MOT time. Driving to the garage that done the respray at about 8AM tomorrow for a quick check over then they will take it to the MOT station for a 1:30PM test. Nervous as hell about it so hope all goes well. The only issue I can foresee is that its a 1996 and I decatted it but I'll just say it was a 1992 and it was imported in 1996 or something.

Where would i find the bleed nipple on my car 1990 G Reg? I've found the one on the slave but I've been told there is one under the bonnet.

My flywheel bolts are refusing to come out, well 2 of them anyway. My cheap 230lb/ft impact gun wouldn't do it, so I tried by hand, got over 200nm on them but nothing. I couldn't get anymore on it without the socket slipping so don't want to keep trying that. So I bought a 700lb/ft impact gun aaaand nothing, won't do it. I've only got a small compressor so probably not getting the max out the gun but still, this is ridiculous! The gun says 90psi max and my compressor does 100 so it shouldn't be too bad. I've tried tightening them with the gun first, nothing, tried putting all the other bolts back in really tight, nothing. I'm completely out of ideas and it's doing my…

i've just had my headlights apart to clean them and i found both dip & main beam reflectors are badly pitted with quite a large area of silver missing off one of the main beam reflectors, now i'm sure after cleaning these will be a lot better but ideally want to sort these reflectors out. the main beam ones feel like plastic, not sure about dip beam ones as i didn't do a complete strip down. but they have gone back on the car for now to see how they perform. so as i see it i have 3 options 1.find somewhere to resilver my current reflectors (i can only find places that deal with metal reflectors on line with around 8 week turn round) 2. buy some new headligh…

Hi guys anyone know of a place in essex how could shorten a rear section of a z 32 prop thanks .

I'm about to place an order for a new oil cooler but ive hunted and hunted for the dimensions of the standard one, so i can make sure that the one im ordering if going to show some benefit. Anybody know the overall dimensions / number of passes? I would measure it myself but its currently unaccessable. Cheers

Alright you lot? I haven't been on here as I don't really use the forums much since everything seems to be on facebook! Might have done a deal for another 300zx so I'm back! Does anybody know the car? K691 EMO Jap TT LWB It's been drift converted (hydro handbrake, bucket seats HSD coilovers etc) Haven't seen it in the flesh yet but it's not too far away from me in Coventry.

eBay link! 1998, S reg... with all the 89 Spec fixtures and fittings... hmmm. That interior! The cream panel finish... the repair to the driver's bolster... and that auto-shifter gaiter!! :lol: :lol: £4000 and it's yours! Where's my chequebook? :biggrin:

Before 2014! After! Hope they are the right way round:)

Hi I can't remember the who I used to do my pod switches with LEDs can anyone help me please Thanks my memory shit lol

ok, So Stewart just sent me this video of his zed that squeals. A local mechanic suspects it could be a cam pulley, what everyones thoughts. And mind that we need to get this to JAE, how easy is a cam belt pulley to fix and costs for the parts ? [video=youtube_share;d5QTXhkyFms]
