Looks like this guy Steve as put together a great price for a full set of these fuses. £8.35 delivered for both footwell and main box :cool3:. Pictures are from my own car........recommend these highly. http://woodypeck.com/?product=nissan-300zx-replacement-set-of-blade-fuses-smart-led-lights-up-when-it-blows EDIT: 29 fuses in total, amazing deal imo.

As pictured below, leak is Coming from passenger side of the sump. And you can see it running down the side of the sump and dripping onto the ground pretty quickly. Am I right in thinking it's prob from the passenger side turbo oil hoses which I've labeled below with a ? Now, before I get under the car, is this pipe easily accessed under the car? Can I remove it while engine is still in?

.... Adrian Flux? Seems that there's constant bad-press and poor quotations. So just wondering if anyone here actually has insurance with them and if so, how much? I'm not insured with them, but I'm curious to know if anyone actually is?...I am talking about insurance on your Z, not on anything else. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?65748-Insurance-for-Club-members&p=1880017#post1880017

Hey guys two questions here... how could you tell if your fuel pump is on its way out? Smoke tested my zed aswell... found the recirculation valve is leaking... would it cause much of a problem?

Don't you just love those words ! My big order from conceptz has landed in the UK, cleared customs and is on a truck somewhere in the west coast of Scotland. :)

Greethings guys. Today i've had a slipping clutch problem after the turbos spools, but the clutch is semi-new (replaced it on august) and it began to slip only after some normal driving and one little accelleration. Also on 3000rpm and less it worked fine, and i could even do some start in a very high uphill without any problems. This night i took the car another time and it worked fine, even after have stressed it a lot for checking that slip. What happened? It's possible that the clutch overheated for the extreme hot weather ? Today in italy there were like 45°, the whole car interior was untouchable and when i touched the throttle bodies was like tou…

Hi Peter tried to call you can you give me a call when you get this message:) Thanks Lee:)

hi guys looking at retiming my interior panels and i'm at a decision point got it to 3 colours cream (which i'm waiting a sample) red or grey, didn't think i'd like the red option but i've found a nice dark red rather than the bright garish ones i've seen before. this is going in a black car.

Was on the way to totb too. So, car was driving fine, no problem at all. All of a sudden, misfiring and loss of power to a stop. As it wouldn't rev very high we though it was the maf, unplugged it and the car seemed to start fine. But very rough and we've limped to somewhere safe. So, when the car starts with the maf unplugged, if we plug it back in, the car dies. Won't start with it plugged in. We tried a known working maf from the other car and still the same, won't start with the maf plugged in. Also struggling to start anyway with I'm thinking could be the engine getting flooded. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks…

This appeared on my Facebook, it was taken at a North East meet somewhere. I don't recognise it.

Ive just arrived back from what could be a very expensive trip to the pub... Parking in the car park at our local pub for a meal, I tucked the front bumper over a patch of grass in front of the parking space. For some reason there had been some 4" high steel pegs left out of the ground, completely camouflaged, I then reversed out of the space, and there was a huge crunch, and the bumper has been destroyed, fibreglass is not very forgiving. All I had to hand was some sparky tape and a cable tie, so I patched it up so I could drive home slowly. In between all of this, I had to pretend nothing was wrong and smile through a pub dinner with the in-laws. The best…

Saw this red zed a couple hours ago, had the website in the back quarter window. :) In the high street and then right outside Tesco. I'm still very new here so no clue who it belongs too. Cheers

Having changed this solenoid for another as u can see the wires are severed! Well over the past year my steering has felt heavy. What a difference & also my auto changes appear smoother & my tick over more settled! Is this possible due to impulses to the ECU? Art

Looking at some new alloys, found the one's I want and they are 18x10 et25. Will these be flush with the arches and not require spacers or arch rolling. What tyre sizes would you recommend going with? Cheers Aaron

I don't see many Zeds in Newcastle...but found myself following this one, I was in my silver Merc.

Hi guys Looking to replace the tweed trim on my zed, here's a pic of the interior as it is now: I was thinking maybe just a black suede. But anyone have any opions on what material/colour would suit the interior? Many thanks :D

The Philadelphia Automotive Museum has for the first time put on permanent display it's first Japanese car. I give you the 300zx :clap: http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2015/02/13/simeone-museum-adds-1990-nissan-300zx-twin-turbo-its-first-japanese-car-to-permanent-collection/?refer=news More about the Museum http://www.simeonemuseum.org/

I have these coilovers on my Z. Does anyone else? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ADJUSTABLE-32-WAY-SUSPENSION-COILOVER-SPRINGS-for-Nissan-300ZX-Fairlady-Z32-4K-/111556464137?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&fits=Model%3A300+ZX&hash=item19f9488e09 The rears I have wound up quite a bit but am still not happy it is high enough. If I kept winding a coilover up eventually what would happen when the thread runs out, will they just stop winding or could the threaded part wind all the way out? Obviously I don't want that to happen, but have no way of knowing how much thread I have left. Thanks, Dan
