I saw you going north as I was going south. Who were you

Having whipped the rear mid spoiler off it's a bit of a mess under there. :cry: It was attached with self tappers through the tailgate. Can anyone give me an idea of what I should expect to pay to get the holes filled in and it repainted before I get some quotes. Its the same on both sides. Will they weld up the screw holes?

Was infront of me on the way home, last 3 letters of reg were GAH, think it was a J reg?

I applied primer to my headlight panel today. Did what I thought was the correct prep - washed itm keyed it, sprayed 3 light coats. Anyway I tried scratching it earlier, after it had dried and I managed to scratch some off. Does this mean I didn't do it right? Or would you expect it to come off if you started scratching at it like a weirdo?

Hi guys, finally ordered my 555 Nismos, boost jets and eprom for ECU. Installation is due just before Xmas. Not quite sure about the "how to´s", though. I think I saw detailled instructions about how to change fuel injectors on the web before, maybe even in this forum. Could not find it using the "search", though. Anybody can help with the link? Thanks, Alex

just recently purchased 300zx turbo which is great. Slick petes hooked me up with some bits. Just noticed my speedo doesnt seem to work that great, the clocks arn't in kilometres,mileometre is, they've obviously been changed .Any ideas anybody??

Had my zed on the rolling road yesterday and she was 282.8 bhp at the engine and 301.7 lbf.ft of torque.I have a fmic,4 inch straight through exguast and induction kit,cooler sparkplugs. Still running standard boost and standard turbos but i thought the bhp should have been more am i wrong? The car is running very rich and could have leaks could this be the problem? Any ideas would be great Cheers

i saw you park up near embankment, you waved at me in my red zed. didnt see what colour your zed was..

Need to find the starter motor relay anybody know where it is and what colour? :) Fitting an alarm and I need to wire into the drivers door pin, I think it means the open and shut door switch but am not sure? what do you recon? cheers

Got an early start today installing my HID kit. Went really smooth at first, thought I'd be writting about now anouncing I had set a world record for 300zx headlamp removal and HID installation! That was until I got to the last two bolts under the wheel arches that took me an twenty minutes each... Well everythings out now and I am cleaning the lights as reccomended. I noticed on each of the dipped beams there is a piece of sheet metal that sits between the bulb and the lens and covers the bottom half of the lens, it seems to me that this is blocking a good part of the light. Is it wise to remove this bit or will it cause some problem with the way the light refracts or ma…

Iv brought a version S 1996 TT manual, wondering if anyone knows what the version S included?? Is it just made up?

Just got a HKS t piece to fit a hks water temp gauge was going to fit in the top hose but i looked at the hose and it has no straight runs in it loads of bends .has any one fitted one to the top as this is a more acurate reading than the bottom hose .thanks :cool:

This thread has probably appeared before but I am a newbie so I am surely allowed to mention it! If anyone would like to read and clear the fault codes on their 300ZX I have written a guide on how to do so. It is here... Kerbside motors fault code guide I hope this helps and educates as I wrote it one night because I was bored and have no friends! :rofl:

Ok, so I'm slowly rebuilding the Z, buying lots of new nuts, bolts and clips etc. What I really want for the front, is to replace the U-nuts that clip onto the corner splashgaurds. Also the screws (with captive washers) that secure the front bumper to these splashgaurds by way of the U-nuts. Nowhere in the UK seems to sell them these in Stainless steel...any ideas? Screwfix won't even throw up a search on U-nuts. These things.

...anyone with the electronic parts catalogue... could they check what size the clips and screws are that secure the corners of the bumper to the splash trays? I think the clips are number12 (also what are the names of these...washer clips??? Screw clips??). But can't be sure. Want to try and replace mine with stainless fixings. Cheers

Would these fit on a zed?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/345mm-Big-Brake-Kit-for-the-Nissan-R33-GTS-T-Skyline_W0QQitemZ190057635263QQihZ009QQcategoryZ23013QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item190057635263

I only ask because i just bought a pair to recon but didn't ask if they were off an auto/manual doh! They're off a similar aged jap spec car though but i remember someone saying that auto turbos are smaller than manual tt cars

Its coming upto that time of year when the insurance is due for renewal. Since I have spent and still spending a small fortune on the car, I need to insure the car with a high agreed value. Does anyone have any recommendations, one for an agreed value policy but also for its got to allow big power and modifications. Thanks in advance Barry

hello people ive been having an intermittent problem coming home last night came to a roundabout changed down a couple of gears and noticed the clutch was real heavy. got to the round about stiffed in it 1st pulled away and it jac rabbited like a ******* but it ticks over fine... the problem has one away now but sometimes the clutch gets heavy but not with the crap running stuck me foot on the clutch without starting...started the car but the pedal didnt sink as quickly as i expected it to ie the same as the brakes do when you first start so im coming to the conclusion it could be 1 or 2 things... 1 i take it the clutch is the same as the brakes…

I have just go the Z TT back after a few months and am well pleased. The water pump has been replaced and all seems well that way. I have noticed two small problems though. First is that it seems to hesitate when I first apply the throttle. It does it when I am pulling away from anywhere and if I rev it at a standstill. Idle is fine and there doesn't seem to be a misfire. It seems to bog down a little like its drawing breath and is strange. Second is that some dials on my dash have stopped working for some reason! My temp gauge, boost gauge and oil pressure gauge have just stopped. Any ideas why and what can be done? Thanks all.
