Some b*****d has nicked my valve caps FOR THE SECOND TIME. I bought a couple of sets off ebay when I bought my first Zed in June, they were nicked within a week of me putting them on. I kept the second set and didn't use them until I bought my second Zed in August but now these have also gone. I suppose I was lucky to have kept them this long but it really pisses me off when some little b*****d helps himself to MY property. I know they are only a few quid a set but if I catch the thief he will get a severe beating from me, I couldn't care less about "PC". Dave

The mechanic took it into the workshop to start the MOT, came straight back to me and said ... ...er big problem mate ... i,m sat there thinking , oh 5h1t , what now ...Your drivers seat belt is missing.. Try looking at the door , i said ...Oh.. he said and shot off quickly :slap: :slap: Wot a plonker :smash: :smash: , Good result though, it did pass ok :hyper: :hyper:

Right I have numerous problems that are coming and going on&off. I think I have tracked it down (well I hope I have :D ) I think this connectors loose. Wheres this connector please as I cant find it? I have a 93 UK TT Manual

Hopefully my (second hand) 99 spec rear lights will turn up in the next couple of days. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for fitting/sealing the lights to the rear. Obviously I will have pulled most of the original tar off the car before instalation. Should I use silicon or some other filler? Thanks...

Hello Mike, I came and said hello to you today whilst you were at the traffic lights. I hope you get yourself online and onto this forum. There are some friendly people on here and a wealth of information. Very nice wheels by the way...

Been on the phone this morning to SWZ as lastnight I looked under the car, and the diff was covered in oil. I have been advised that its the diff pinion seal causing the leak. Now I am fairly hands on, but am debating if to drive 90 miles to SWZ and have it fixed there, or have a go at it myself. I was wondering if its a difficult job to change the seal, and is there an online guide about how to do it. Thanks

black with smoked rear lights and very dirty, tut tut, lol. and white L reg, looked standard and very nice, both at five bells sunday about 4 pm. i was in the girlfriends clio sport waving. lol

Driving thro Dorchester yesterday about 3 20 pm. I was the other one!

Alright Mike. Everything OK on Saturday on the way back? Did you try some 5th gear runs?

As some of you already know, one of my new Nismo 555s (front left, cylinder no 2) is pissing fuel all over the engine bay when the fuel pump primes. A couple of questions occur... 1. I estimate that I have driven about 7 miles with the problem. I took it very easy however, as the fuel smell was overpowering. Could I have done any damage to the engine? 2. I am guessing that the problem is a leaky injector O-ring. I assume that it's a plenum off and fuel rail out job to get this sorted. Could it perhaps be a faulty/cracked injector? Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :bow: CheerZ Steve :)

Does it work out cheaper to get one from the states and pay the shipping and tax on it or from a uk dealer. What would be a good price for one first hand for a uk manual turbo?

Anyone have this set up ? What is it like ? I think I'm gonna get a set. I already have adjustable front upper links, do I need anything for the rear for camber correction etc. or anything else ? Do you get new dust covers for the shox ? CheerZ PAul

When I decat my car, what do I do with the cat overheat sensors??? is it best to cut them off or just tuck them out of the way?? Scotty.

do you think i should have, the zed should be complete soon it will have JD chipped ecu, 1.0mm jets 14-15 psi (soon to be blitz controller), decatt (soon), unorthodox pulleys, mongoose cat back exhaust.

Does anyone know of any nice seats from other cars that will go in a zed without any major work? Cheers, Justin

Trying to find out why braking hard at high speed causes wheel wobble. Clocked all the discs and they are good. 0.2mm was the worst one. But thats not a lot. Checked bushes and didnt find any that are worn. Think I checked them all. Dunno if theres any little ones hiding anywhere. Not really sure what else it could be? Sorted my brake pedal though, found some air hiding in the inner nipple on the front drivers side caliper :nono: Now shes nice and solid!

Do you have to take the disc off to change them, or do they just come straight out?

Ok then tech heads, whats the difference between NA and TT diffs, is the TT larger than the NA or did Nissan change the size of the diff when they changed the series. Thanks, Scrawni.

and saw that there illistrations they use a 300zx swb lol. http://www.racetested.com/images/manuals/high_res/UK_Manual.pdf

Head gasket on my zed has gone :( She overheated a few nights ago, but I managed to get her home and she hasnt started since. Was just ticking over and the compression sounded completely off. So I thought, ok maybe its just flooded, disconnected the fuel pump fuse, and she just kept turning over and wouldnt start. Pulled the sparks out, the front two came out ok, bits of the plastic coil had melted. The center two wouldnt come out without a bit of force, and it looks like those coils had comletely melted, didnt bother with the rear two plugs... doom was looming at this point. Took the rad cap off, turned it over and water shot out of the radiator like a fooking …

just a query more than anything. How many uk zed's are there left...Do most of the members on the forum have a jap import? The reason I ask is my own uk zed was literally saved from the scrap heap, with the amount of rust on the car, it should have been scrapped, but thats another story. So another uk zed was saved... :cool:

any more coming down to this please read thread and get your names down. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=763632#post763632post763632

Just got her back on the road after being in bits for 2 months. Had a few days of no problem driving too!!! Got my car out the garage today to do a few little jobs as you do. Anyway, when I went to put it back I noticed a drip of coolant underneath. Started her up and it pis*ed out everywhere. Looks like one of those knuckle pipes has gone. I guess its better going on the driveway than miles away from home!! Doh. :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal

Met up on the embankment. I took off from Marsh Mills sliproad. You didn't follow my lead, yet passed me at about 90 two hundred yards from a speed camera !!!!!! You got balls man.
