Just got it back from the bodyshop and had a full valet while it was there. As soon as I picked it up I realised the turbo boost gauge had stopped working. The car is performing the same but no gauge. Obviously an electrical problem but where do you start. Any ideas?. Steve.

Hi, im turning 17 soon and the nissan 300zx is my most favourite car in the world and i was wondering if anyone knew how much it would cost to get insurance for a 17 year old? i no it will be expensive but i just want to no, cheers everyone.

I was in centre of Newport Isle of Wight on wednesday at 12pm, near a roundabout that was near stationary with loads of traffic,was heading out to Ryde just saw you come past in a two tone blue and silver Z,no chance to grab your attention plus was in a Vauxhall.The Z looked great especially with the sun being out. :cool: Tony

Might need a set of TEIN HA's refurbished. TEIN UK can overhaul them but could anyone else recommend or know of a company that would also do the job? Cheers, Leigh

Thinking of getting a 300zx auto but i know I will eventually want a manual conversion on it. I have seen that the zen garage are advertising the job for £400 labour. Is that just the labour charge? +VAT? do they supply the gearbox also? how much does this cost? and how long does the job take? I have emailed them asking the same things but no reply yet. Just wondering if anyone on here knows the details

Had the car in the garage this week getting some front bushes fitted (original Nissan) and getting the rear end checked out as it's like driving on marbles sometimes. Anyway they've had a look and say the ball joints on the HICAS have to much play in them and also the shocks could do with changing and to be honest I'm not suprised as I thought this was my problem. Anyway, I figure I may as well get some of the bushes replaced at the same time whilst it's in bits. I have generally been buying Nissan parts, but wondered if there are better options out there for shocks and bushes for the same or very similar money (don't want to stiffen the car up any more or lower it b…

As you push down on the clutch pedal the first 3-4 inches does absolutley nothing then you push down from about halfway to the floor you can feel resistance but its hardly enough to be able to select a gear! When you do eventually manage to get it into a gear the bite point is so low almost as soon as you let clutch up! The clutch is brand new only covering around 5000 miles i would say and this problem seems to of just occured overnight as when i last used it everything seemed fine its so wierd!!! :confused: Can anyone help me as the car is basically stranded unable to get it into gear!!! :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal :confused:

I know a lot of you guys have upgraded to these and I was just wondering if anyone knows which side of the R33 brembo calipers to bleed first? The side without the brembo sticker on that faces inwards or the side with the sticker on that faces outwards through the alloy wheels. I have these as an upgrade for my 200 thanks in advance for any help

hi can anyone tell me how to remove the auto gear knob. ive seen the 2 philips screws at the front of it but not sure if these take it off. cheers gary.

I learn something new every day! Whilst looking through eBay Z32 items (like you do) I came across some chromium bulbs for the side repeaters. They wanted £2.99 for a pair plus £1.89 postage. I had never heard of them before and thought they were a very good idea as in daylight the normal orange bulbs do show through the clear glass when not lit and partly spoil the effect of having the clear glass. Being what I am, a tight sod, I decided to have a look around town today to see if I could avoid paying the postage. My first port of call was Halfords!! That was a mistake, as usual. None on show and I soon got fed up of waiting to be served after being given the br…

Right, got the problem with my speedo and PAS cutting out intermitantly and have sussed it to be a speed sender or wiring problem through the forums. I got a quote for the speed sensor, £150 and three weeks delivery so i think i'll replace the wiring first. I have the wiring diagram on cd but can't work it out, (too many years working on German cars i reckon). Does anyone know the wire colours or terminal no's on the back off the speedo?

Rubbers that the bottom of the rad sits in? Changed my fan last night as it was cracked. Did it with the rad half in and the water pipes still connected as was being lazy! Couldnt get the left side back in properly and the rubber fell out the bottom of the car doh! The right side is still in and it still seems pretty tight, the left side is held in place by the pipes as well as the top mount so shouldn't be a problem should it?

can any1 tell me what the difference is between the PFR6B-11B's and the PFR6B-11C's? thanks, joel.

Does the timing pulley sit on a step in the shaft or is there a spacer behind it?

Hi people, I'm looking to get KYBs and EIBACHs on the car. I just wanted to see how much the car lowers with these on. So was wondering if anyone with these on had a side view pic that could show me how much it lowers the car. Thanks guys.
