Cheers

I need my tracking sorted as it's really really out. But because I want new HICAS arms as well, with it all done together, it should be good. Question about 4 wheel alignment. If the tracking is really badly out, will HICAS try and compensate for it? My car when I start off driving has the wheel pointing offset to the center. After a few miles of +60kph, the HICAS light will come on and after another few mins, the steering wheel will return to the centre position. Bearing this in mind, when doing 2 wheel alignment, could this make the problem still worse if the rear wheels are on the piss to start off with because of HICAS? Also, is the problem entirely tra…

fitted a Dett sensor without removing engine? If so, what's involved? Or must it be an engine out job?

Insurance - Bloody hell!!!! I am 31 with full ncb and the best I can get on a Fairlady is £515 third party fire and theft! Does anyone think they know of a company to beat this or am I too optimistic? Golddigga!

Are they rare?

Right, I'm getting my rear subframe polybushed when I get back from the states. Would quite like to replace the shocks as well if it all comes off. I have fitted Eibach springs on 2 previous cars and rate them highly. A, just wondering who's got Ebachs on their Zed and B, where can I still buy them from? Eibach shop's not listing them. Ta

Hi I think I read a tread on here about a guy who had his standard wheel chromed. Did a quick search but couldn't find anything. Does it ring any bells? Spencer

I drove approximatly 60-70 miles Yesterday and noticed mz TT Z Auto is surging IE: around 2000rpm the rev counter is rising a slight amount and the car is surging you can feel it in the car ? it does not appear to be missing whilst under load or idle ? Any ideas ?

L plate silver Z with big spolier on rear parked outside shops about 6.00 ish ? iwas in the Red one that cruized past you !!

You've just driven past my house today Fri 21st July at 11am!!! Funny number plate something like RBZ???? On a sqaure number pate on the back of your Z... Notice you got after market exhausts too!!

All, I am now really confused. You get a UK 300zx turbo or non-turbo The Japanese equivalent is a Fairlady? Is that right? Also, an insurer has just told me that the Fairlady is a Twin T and the UK is just a single Turbo? Does that mean that there is a UK Twin T as well as a UK single T? I just want to sort out my insurance and do not want to quote the wrong bloody car as I previously mentioned, a UK car 300zx Turbo will cost me around £350, whilst the cheapest I have got a Fairlady for is £850!!! HEEEELLLLLLLPPPPP all I want is a Zed!!!

Hi Was driving clockwise on the M25 at 8:30am yesterday(20/07/06), at maybe about Heathrow and you were driving in the other direction. Spencer

I am now in a position that I can get my first Zed :dance: HOWEVER, I have shopped around for insurance quotes and now I am confused. If I put the car in as a 300zx Turbo Auto - I can get third party, fire and theft quotes for around the £350 mark (I am 31 with 9+years ncb) When I try and get a quote on a Fairlady Z (Jap import right?) the quote jumps up to in excess of £1000!!! Aren't these roughly the same bloody car!! :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal Any advice on insurance would be good!!! Frustrated - Golddigga

i think im gonna get him to change the cam belt, water pump and inlet hoses!!! i have what i think is a leaking water pump (thanks for the posts) and i cant drive the car to a zed specialist, i trust the mechanic, he races cars and builds turbos. im posting to ask what special info i need to give him, im going to make sure i only get nissan parts. Why is the zed cambelt more tricky than other cars? im going in to see him today so help would be fantastic! thanks paul

black z in hood walk collier row yesterday about 5.20 pm private plate i believe.

Red zed, north circular near wimbledon, about 5:30-6pm today (thurs, not today today). I was in a silver estate waving frantically.

I have a bit of a problem...... i have exorted my beloved Fairlady out to spain with me and went today to put her onto spanish plates... but....... because she is a jap import and does not have the sticker with the kerb weight on it i cannot put her throught the spanish M.O.T!!!! I either need someone to take some photos of this sticker for me or if you could part with yours and sell it to me i would be greatly appreciated...... Nissan over here have quoted 80 euros or 50 quid for a sticker?????? i know parts for the 300zx are pricey but 50 quid for a bloody sticker!!! hope someone can help as she is now sat depressed in my driveway........

Just discoverd about the unusual lamp that my import Zed has! Looked at related posts & Ill think I will stick to using the "proper" PIAA lamp - low beam, blue tint but it does say 55w ! Anyone on here selling these? Thanks Chris

Not sure how many may have seen this repair before but just found it and thought it may benefit someone for some reason it will not copy and paste so you will have to type it in. http://www.aus300zx.com/tech/pturepair/pturepair.htm

Can anyone tell me what the fuel pressure should be at idle ?? also ive noticed recently when i remove fuel cap theres no hissing sound does this indicate a problem ?? as in the past it did make a hissing noise every time i removed cap, now zed wont start & when it does cuts out after few seconds also have done a search & came up with a check valve were is this located & would it cause the symptoms mentioned

Sorry if this has been asked before but is there any difference between the UK model and the jap import (twin turbo) in terms of performance? also what are the actual specs 0-60 etc as i see different ones everywhere i go. thanks people :)
