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]

Last couple of weeks I've noticed the rear NS tyre on Zebedee going down slowly so after topping up the pressures the last week I decided to run it to the local tyre shop this lunch and have a puncture repair. Off it came into the water bath....no leaks....turned it over and hey presto a 2" tear in the sidewall right down to the internal banding. I've no idea how this happened but the OMG feeling set in when I thought hang on last month I was doing 135mph down the track at TOTB. I really hope this damage occurred after the event or there could have been a serious incident...GULP. Luckily the guy had a good condition ZR rated part worn in stock so that's fitted temporari…

Just bought a new HKS oil filter and it arrived today but it looks tiny to me ! Sure the thread size is ok but its only 60mm compared to the 75mm of a normal one. Here's its pictured next to a coke can for scale.

Can you directly transplant the rotors from a TT to an NA ? Both zeds use aluminium callipers but the TT disc seems to be thicker.

Here we go with another twist on the reverse light panel. Again i was asked to do and it's not unlike i have fitted on my car but this is improved and as turned out extremely well, might in time re do mine :cool3:. Looks much better in the flesh, certainly all is red, the camera lens seems to pick up on the light sources much more than the human eye does, mainly on the brighter brake light 300ZX part. Looking forward very much to seeing this fitted. [video=youtube_share;zmbdSoQmLtM]

Guys, Can you have a look at this car and tell me if the quote of 550bhp he's given could be possible. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/300zx/nissan-300-zx-turbo-1993/4631604 Also, if I decide to buy this car, what would be the best way of me getting it checked out? Cheers Alex

Just got NGK PFR6B-11C Is this ok to fit from NGK PFR6B-11B? P= Platnium F= 14,19mm(3/4") Reach 16(5/8mm)HEX R= Resistor 6= Heat Rating 11= 1.1m(.044")Gap B or C? What? Special Design?

Hi All, Got a quick question..... I was driving late last night and all seemed well. (Only nipped out for petrol) Anyways, just as I was pulling back onto my street I noticed that the Oil Pressure had dropped to zero! Parked it up on the drive and cut the engine, it had been driving ok whilst I was out? Anyway, let it settle for about half an hour and checked the oil level - all looked ok?? Started it up again and whilst it was idling, it read zero.... revved slightly and the needle did move up but then settled back to zero. As it was late last night I've not checked anything else yet.... I'll take a look tonight however if anyone has any thought…

Link! Maybe I'm just being picky here, but where's the logic in describing a car as having "no mods at all" and then listing the mods in the same sentence?! Remapped, but not dyno'd... do the two not usually go hand in hand (or am I wrong there?)...? Reason for sale: the Mrs. But open to a swap for another performance car. Er... what?? Owns three other Zeds too, apparently. First time I've heard them referred to as "flying kettles" though! Suggests owners should keep all receipts, yet pretty much states that this car has no receipts. Confusing.... Says 20 year old friend has £130 per year insurance on one. I smell something here...! Just…

Does anyone know the block freeze plugs size? Cheers, Tudor.

Hey guys just a quickie what bearing is the right on for a TT? Thanks in advance :)

As per the title really. I've watched some YouTube videos and decided, bodywork is clearly easy. So, with that in mind, I'm going to fix my rust back arches today, myself. Wish me luck but I'm already past the point of no return... Photos to come as always but there's currently a big hole lol

Anyone got a procedure I can use to check these. I did have a burnt loom so something could be blown but I cant find any fuses or relays. Also when I bypass the gearbox loom and connect the cables near the left headlight its still dead. I know its not needed for the MOT but still like to fix it.
