I have a Jap TT where power steering not working nor speedo. Jeff Turner fixed this issue around 18 months ago by adding a new wire from the back of the speedo cluster down to a connector in driver's foot well. The fault came back some months later. Another issue, when I got the car home from when Jeff first fixed it, I noticed the boost gauge was pinned at max and that some of the back-lighting wasn't working. I never got the chance to take it back to Jeff prior to his finishing. I took the Jap cluster apart today and re-soldered all the joints to the chip and the rest (electronics is what I do) but no joy. I had another UK cluster which Jeff let me h…

Hey guys, I was wondering if any electrical guru's could help me try and identify the best way to install this OEM infrared keyless entry system into my Z. I am aware there are much more advance and much better keyless entry systems on the market that are easier and better to use for car theft protection. I have never liked the idea of an aftermarket system and my expeirence with them has been all bad and a pain in the arse to fix or deal with. I do not want an aftermarket system so please don't offer me any as i am not interested please. Anyways from what I've gathered about OEM keyless entry systems available to the Z32 this was one of the systems offered for …

Right so just out of curiosity who on the stand this year, and to let you know, although hotels still have rooms half are already fully booked. Just thought ill let you know,as im staying from saturday tell sunday as i found to rushed to do it all in one day,

Am i correct in thinking idle fuel pressure should be around 41psi? Mine is at 51psi for some reason..... Usually sits at 41psi. Not sure what has changed except the bigger bore exhaust I've fitted.

How do I remove the front seats? A few bolts and a couple of plugs? Ive got heated electric seats, lwb 93 uk (if it makes a difference)

Can someone tell me a bit about coil overs for the 300zx? Ive only looked at the ones on zcentre, seen plenty on ebay but I don't trust ebay with car parts unless someone recommends them. I just want my car to be lower. . . . . . . . . and have good handling. Has anyone got a set for sale? Thanks.

I am having problems with my conzult. I have a genuine cable but it does not want to comunicate to the ecu for some reason. It connects and then loses connection. I tried conzult, nissan scantech and datascan and they all act same. I am trying to read original non papped ecu. cable is com so i am using a brand new adapter from maplin on laptop running windows 7. Am i missing anything? Does it not work on win7 and i should get xp? I have no problems running delphi diagnostics on the laptop. unfortunately no support for 300zx.

Hi all. Fairly sure the 20 year old induction hose from the air filter to the turbo is getting on a bit now and possibly sucking in a little at higher revs. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket silicone hose or hardpipe kit available for this? Thanks

I was asked 'Andy can you illuminate in white the reverse light panel', i replied yes but you're likely to of spent money and are constantly getting your collar felt. I suggested what i have executed here. The 300ZX is painted in white, just like the 99 spec one which is red, you can see it below against a 89 panel, it's actually an Altia one but does for an example. I am not really going to divulge what magic is actually done but just the insides light up with the EL sheet and the white is not affected. Customer wants lines to match the tail lights, so these are added at this stage :yes:.

I'll be getting my Hicas gubbins at the rear end replaced soon and I want to make sure I have everything that's needed. I have the two arms here and a pair of balljoints is on order. What else do I need? And no, I don't want to remove it all and fit a Driftworks kit!! :lol:

Two new rear tyres being fitted today. (advisory on MOT) rear tyres cracking!

This is amazing :drool: http://cars.donedeal.ie/vintagecars-for-sale/nissan-300zx-1988/10148228

Thought I would start a working thread for my labour of love (on a shoestring budget!).... Well going to go and buy some stud removers from machine Mart tomorrow to sort the snapped stud problem when removing the test pipes to replace the transmission. Then get a new stud from SEF. The Transmission is now mated with engine successfully and split rear mount temporarily fitted for testing purposes only as I had to order a Nismo one from the USA as they could get it here in a week thank god! Filling with Dexron III tomorrow, but waiting till later in the year to replace the Transmission sump with the old one that has the drain plug fitted. Also need to look at cha…

Hey, Took these pictures, hard to get into the loom as its all tied up but hopefully this is the correct plug that you need to know about.

So i went to pick up my zed today , my ratsun260, thought id share the only pic i took today as i got back late,more pi s will follow for those that are intrested . And yes i know its not a 300,but i have had four of the 300s and ive been on here for quite some years .so some might like to know what im up to. Ill stick the next thread in the non 300 stuff, but for now,watch this space.

Ok well I have had a brand new engine harness put on. Sorted a lot of problems out but the rough idle is still there. Absolutely fine when driving but at idle the drivers side exhaust seems to stumble a lot more than the passenger side. Also at cold start the drivers side is smoking a bit (white). Any ideas now? I have: Changed maf New electrical harness Egr bypass Water bypass. New injectors

Hey everyone. Came home from work and I could smell fuel. Big style. Further inspection there was fuel on the outside of the fuel tank. So I took the fuel pump plate off and there were left overs from fuel there. So the fuel under pressure has come past the upper part of the fuel pump. 3 of the bolts seem to have lost their thread. Don't know how. What's the best way to go about this? Cheers

Don't think that I have even mentioned yet that I have bought a new zed. It's a black manual UK TT in need of some restoration which I will be doing slowly as I'm in no hurry. It seems that I am going about the resto in completely the wrong as all I have done so far is bought unnecessary bits and pieces which at present I really don't need. But I found some wheels which were really cheap. What do you think? Should I paint the centres of just leave them as is?

Can anyone please clarify. The stock turbos have oil restrictors in place. From what I understand the drivers side is restricted in the oil sender block and the passenger side is restricted by the bolt which is marked K. Is this correct??

O.k, I brought my zed (the blue wide arch recently on ebay advertised as sticky lifter) a few months ago with a tappy engine. I've driven it 300 miles and still no improvement. However in this period, the engine has gone completely quite as it should be and power has resumed all be it not for long. This continues to occur and I need help in getting this engine working as it should. The timing is fine, have unplugged vtc connectors and still nothing. On removing the oil cap whilst the engine is noisey there is minimal oil in the head, when the noise clears up oil is splashing around as it should. All help would be grateful as I am really stuck right now and out of pocket!!…

The name has been picked ! Drum roll please :clap:

Hi Guys, I am doing a boot install at the moment and have picked up a pair of JBL MS-10SD2 subwoofers, one for each side of the boot, sunken into the floor. http://www.amazon.com/MS-10SD2-power-handling-voice-coil-premium-subwoofer/dp/B007ABZ95I I can just about get the recommended airspace in the custom boxes, but I have spent a couple hours trying to work out what amp to pair them with and am still stumped! Any ideas what amp would be suitable and what type or wiring (bridged etc) would be suitable? I understand RMS vs Peak, but the numbers stop making sense once we start talking 2 x 2 ohms etc. haha. I Have read a few guides and charts but …
