red zed this afternoon heading south bound on m5 nr bridgwater

No engine bay shots in this auction, but front bumper and lack of rear spoiler (option on N/A) hint at it being an N/A. But boost gauge seem to be present. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300zx-TWIN-TURBO-AEROTOP-AUTO-REMOTE-START_W0QQitemZ120055181387QQihZ002QQcategoryZ18238QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

To be back in my Zed :dance: I just need to get the tracking done and camber set up and she is good to leave alone for the winter and use, you know drive and stuff :dance: :nana2: :dance:

My boot lid won't unlock, so have to have someone outside to lift it up. Would this be because the catch needs adjusting, or because the struts are knackered!?! Are the struts supposed to push it up a little when you lift the lever?

I have seen you parked for the last week in the mornings

would these fit the zed? quick reply if possible

There's a pair on Ebay... Look like the real thing although one looks like it has been repaired. Does anyone know if Pace products are any good? Do you know what sort of power you could get using these or is it best to steer clear. Thanks in advance for any answers! :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-PACE-ALLOY-INTERCOOLERS-x2_W0QQitemZ130047630765QQihZ003QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I need some help to fix my leaking targas! :rant: :rant: :rant: Im sick of it now - for the past year Ive put up with water dripping onto my right knee out of the A-pillar pods that have filled up cos water's managing to get in somehow through the targas and down the A-pillar. i changed the whole driver-side rubber last week, and got a tube of rubber sealant from Halfrauds - most of which I used to bung up every hole I could see. got into the car yesterday for a drive and I almost got bloody soaked! :rant: :rant: water coming out of top two pods, water following underneath the targa and dripping straight onto my head!, water collecting above the sun visor and falling into…

One for the techies I think. Yesterday on the rolling road, I was the only person to have had a higher torque reading than bhp! What is the actual relationship between torque and BHP? And why do people want more bhp when it is torque that actually provides the accelaration?

Going to change engine oil + filter. Is it worth giving it an engine flush at the same time. If yes, whats the best way to do it and what do i use? Thanks

Does the dome bit unscrew off the end so you can get to the mesh?

Whats the best way to prove to an insurance company the value of my car? I have printed a few links off autotrader website for zeds that are for sale, but anyone got a better idea?

Hi all, I have a pair of new GT2560R turbo’s to install into my Zed this coming week. They have the 5 bolt exhaust housing, but I have reused the compressor housing. The actuators have been upgrade (larger) to cope with the higher boost. Because I have the standard compressor housing, do you think I will have enough room for mounting? Or do you think I will need to get smaller actuators such as the HKS items? I’m hoping maybe someone has done this upgrade and can tell me for sure before I pull the engine next week. Left is the same as the actuators I have, right is the smaller HKS actuator.

Right, the nuts for the bolts which hold the bracing for the gearbox mount to the floor are found inside the car. I am assuming they are captive or welded, well now one isnt... (The bracing is held on by 3 bolts either side, then 2 into the mount. One of the passenger side 3 is broken.) One of them gave way inside the car so now the bolt is still on the nut and is loose and no way of getting it undone. Before i go ripping the interior apart (again) can i actually get to the captive nut or not? Its not quite loose enough to hacksaw it off, but anyway id still have the problem of fitting another nut.

What material is the grey/plasticky bit on some front bumpers? I mean the strip that goes inbetween the fogs. Just wondering how you would pep that part up if it had become a bit tatty. here's an example of a front bumper with the bit I'm on about. http://gerasimos.microware.net/mycar/300zx%20054.jpg

Hi, i'm fitting rear calipers and discs to my 200sx and i'm missing a few bits. One of the rear calipers is basically without all the parts. Where is the best place to buy these parts? HERE

http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-5368537976025620906&hl=en-GB I added your laptimes on there after each lap by the way, keep watching the bottom left :D Sorry its taken so long bud, i've been working 8am till 11pm monday to sunday the past 4 weeks. Just cleared my backlog of work on friday :dance:

Just Joined forum guys gonna have a look round see what i can find out about the 300zx before i get one, after i get rid of the supra that is.

Engine,s coming out soon to replace ; Tubs Rocker cover gaskets Rear crank seal Core plugs VVT springs Fuel lines Vac lines Fit painted timing covers and throttle cover and sort anything else we spot , it,s all getting a damn good clean so i thought it,s an ideal time to do a bit of extra blinging . Throttle bodies need a bit more work but it,s getting there :dance:

Major pain must have put the door cards on and taken them off again about 4 times for the first speaker. Only got one done on sat due to failing light but the new 6.5 components sound so much better compared to the old coaxials. Only problem is though that each speaker is only held in by one screw at the moment as I had a severe time limit. Will they shake themselves off any time soon?

alright mate have you still got that prop shaft bearing for sale if so i will buy it off you can you email me at ianchieboy@hotmail.com cheers ianchy

Evening all My rad doesnt seem to be drawing coolant back when it cools. The expansion tank often overflows slightly after driving and when it is cold, the level in the rad is rather low. I top it up before every drive and the level in the rad is always the same, be it a 10 min trip to the shops or 150miles to the girlfriends. I think my HD is on its way out as I have combustion gasses in the coolant, but no water in the oil or oil in the water. :rolleyes: Could it be something as simple as the rad cap or is it more expensive?! :wack: Thanks!
