2+2, large rear spoiler and rear defuser. Parked with bumper rammed onto the curb at Halfrauds. Saw this car at SWZ a few weeks ago.

Could someone help me on this - Is there any difference between the NA and TT air flow meter? Thanks

Just wanted to say a quick hello, been a forum member for a while but never had a zed, Today I've struck a deal with TonyC and bought his stunning SWB TT. Looking forward to some tinkering and a reduction in my spare cash.. :)

My stereo has just started making a thumping kind of noise, it does it whatever you are playing, cd or radio. It is a fairly old Panasonic Tape/Radio setup (not RDS), with a graphic EQ/CD player in the other DIN place, all the same system. Anyone know what could be causing this thumping sound through the speakers, could it be that the suppressor has gone? I am going to get an up to date modern system when funds allow, but would like at least to be able to listen to this until then. It was probably a state of the art sytem when it was new (many moons ago)!!!

Check out http://www.putfile.com/hussain300. The wheels and the bumper on the red one are up for sale. The whole car will be up for breaking soon but cant make my mind up on that yet. It is an auto twin turbo. However, if anyone is interested, you can email me on zaheer_hussain786@hotmail.co.uk and I will get back to you.

hi all. anyone local (ish) got a car trailer i could use for a day or two this week coming? i have to pick up my new Z (no eng/box), bring it back and take the bones of my other one to the scrap :shock: its worth a drink if anyone's got one (or if some of the bits of the car im breaking are of intrest we could sort something out?). im in wolverhampton but the cars in southampton. i can travel to get it as long as its not too far (like scotland, etc lol). its gotta be legal and safe to carry a Z (heavy car) as i dont do dodgy. thanks in advance. si. P.S. anyone that wants to come and get their hands dirty swapping a TT auto into what was an N/A aut…

Hi I know that Auto's 300zx have different Turbo's fitted to them and have a quicker spool up when compared to Manual Turbo's due to a different a/r to compensate for the Automatic gearbox but where do you stand when upgrading to aftermarket turbos as you can't get aftermarket Turbo's designed for either manual or Auto? If you fit say Greddy 18g's for example will there be a noticeable lag on an Auto when compared to fitting them on a Manual 300zx?

I’m a new member of this club /forum and as such I don’t actually know any of you or the reasons this club seems to be split into 2 camps at the moment. To be truthful at the moment I don’t want to. But that’s not my point. The current set of round robin is being conducted on an OPEN forum, so anybody can read it, i.e. members and NON-MEMBERs. While you all are entitled to you opinions and to voice them, they should be voiced in a private members area, say a section for members to discuss issues involving how the club is managed, grievances, etc, not where they can be read by people who are not members, BUT maybe thinking of joining. Not only does all this…

I need a little help, can peeps tell me if I need to take out the whole bush when replacing with poly ones or leave the case or what. Cheers

Hi, I'd like to fit a different cd player so the centre console has to be removed. Anybody got any hints/tips that may help and make this process painless but successful. Any info would be greatly appriciated. Cheers.

Firstly a Red standard Zed in the middle of Chipping Sodbury at 18.00 on the 6th doing a U-turn around one of their many roundabouts ( couldn't tell you exactly where I was just passing through on the way to the old severn bridge ) seemed to be lacking an indicator stalk :nono: Secondly a Black Zed, didn't get a good look at this one as I was travelling at speed in the opposite direction, looked to be on his way into Chipping Sodbury! Anyone from here? Dave.

Which is the best steering fluid to use? I have a '90 300zx TT auto import.

Anyone who desperately needs Japshow passes, i have 2 zclub passes for sunday only (as far as i know) which i'll take with me so if anyone needs them give me a call on me moby... 07859 039 492 Cheers, Nick

Hi. Finally decided to take a look at why my air con has never worked properly ever since i owned the car. Went into the diagnostic program and found my 'vent duct sensor' was open circuit. Decided to take a look, and it isnt there. The sensor and the pipe it goes on is missing. Anyone breaking a Z that could let me purchase these bits? Thanks

Hi all, Can anyone give me the name of a supplier for the targa roof seals,mine are leaking at the top where the roof targas sit on top of the screen pillars. Cheers Chris.

hi this is my first post as have just become a very happy owner of a 300 but i have one little problem i hope someone can shed some light on its with the speedo it an itermitent fault some times it works most of the time it doesnt but even when its not working the trip clock still works and also when its not working i cant boot it hard as it hits like a rev limiter around 4500 rpm and if i back off slightly and ease back on the pedal it will pull straight through past 4500. My car is a 1990 turbo auto import i disconected the gizmo on the back of the dash that converts it to mph as i read that this can cause the problem but this made no difference the other thing that i …

Hi, not been around for a while for various reasons I won't go into and bore you with but hope everyone's keeping well. :) However I am a man on a mission. I know a lot of you keyboard Wizards are fantastic at finding things. So here's the deal. I will gladly straight swap my pride and joy for a roland Jupiter8 Vintage synth. Can't tell you how much I desire this piece of musical history. Possibly in someones attic somewhere but I'll never know. Has to be a minter. This might seem strange but possibly Viniboy or PK 1 will understand my fetish! I'm not joking either. These can sell for between 1-3k when they come on the market and my car is worth a lot m…

Anyone know of any folks in Scotland good with all round mechanics of the Zed? cheers, Paul

Does anyone know of any really good body shops in Surrey/South-East area, or at least fairly near. Got to get an estimate and get my car repaired on the insurance, rather have a zed specialist if poss coz want a top job.

Hi I was having problems with my rad and the guy at the garage swapped the cap with another Zed that was parked out the back. I'm still having problems, but I was wondering about the cap. Are the all the same or are they different? ie is the pressure capacity/ size etc the same. If not does anybody know somewhere near Kingston where I can get one tomorrow (Sat)? Thanks Spencer

About half seven this evening heading towards St A's going through Guardbridge. Didnt see much only it was white and sounded nice :cool:
