Hi Guys I was driving around Saturday afternoon at about 2pm I think and saw a white zed infront of me. He was on the Uxbridge Road heading towards Heathrow. Sorry but I didn't get to hear it or really look at it. Spencer

My aircon was removed by a previous owner, and I want to refit aircon to the car - it's just too damn hot at the moment. I have a box of bits I got from someone after they removed their aircon, and I want to fit it all to my zed. Has anyone attempted this before? Has anyone got a list or diagram of the bits needed? What should I look out for? What order should I fit everything?

Welcome to the forum GrandadJack .. nice motor you have there bud.. was great to see a fellow Zedder on the island .. theres a few about on there so ive heard John

Would anyone be interested in a good set of high quality shocks for their car? I’m talking proper remote resovoir race spec monotube ali dampers, not dual tube small piston stuff like most aftermarket kits. You’d be looking at around £1250+VAT for single damping adjustment or around £1900+VAT for dual adjustable (I’ve not been able to find a dual adjustable for the Z). I'm having these made for mine anyway, so anyone interested let me know.

Hey everyone, i am looking to but a 300zx tt in the next 2 months. just wondering if there is any areas in particular i should be looking for when buying a zx? any advice really would be helpful thanks Dan

Does anyone know want the operating oil temp range of an auto box is. i have searched on google and not found anything. The reason i ask is im going to be fitting a temp gauge into the oil pipe going to the cooler so it will read the highest temp. and just curious of what it should be.

Was sat outside work today (Sunday) in my Z today eating lunch and notice you parked outside Halfords in Redruth with a bloke from Halfords looking like you we're having some Speakers sorted.. Noticed you we're a black dude too and you're Z had some kind of modified rear bumper for the exhausts!!!

Sorry to ask a question thats been asked lots before, but ive searched and id just like to clear a few things up; Easy to fit? Ive read and understand that the hid bulbs go in the normal place and you connect the exisiting wiring to a balast? What temperature will give the best light for night visibility? 4300k or 6000k? Some kits mention relay harness with fuses? What are these for? Uk zeds have something called dip dim? NO idea about this or what it means for me fitting HIDs? Finally, what do people think of these ive found on ebay? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/XENON-HID-CONVERSION-KIT-H1-H3-H4-H7-H8-H11-9006-9007_W0QQitemZ320002738543QQihZ…

This is a shot in the dark but its worth a try: I am trying to find the paint name for the orange colour used on certain motor bike wheel rims. Its kind of a very bright orangy colour. The nearest I can think of is either neon orange or flourecent orange but thats a wild guess. Would anyone know more regarding this paint ? Regards,

Red TT passing Bridgend Ford down the A48 and a Pearl White with big spoiler racing a yellow Porsche down the A470 near Caerphilly. Anyone on here?

Well the usuall setup needed is the temp gauge, electrical sender unit, and a coolant pipe sleave which holds the sensor and requires the Stock upper coolant hose to be split and the sleave fitted in it. Well, If you go for the Autogauge water temp Gauges like the one below... You only need the gauge. We tested it by running a wire from the Stock Temp gauge sender unit (located on upper alloy pipe - right hand side) and put the original Connector back on over it the gauge works perfectly with this, and we used datascan to ensure this. Both datascan Temps and the autogauge temps were accurate to around +3/ -3 degrees of each other - due to the an…

Anyone here using the Emerald M3DK engine management. Had the Holley Commander 950 system on my Chevy but had to sell it all to finance buying the Zed. Don't want to use the Holley one this time cos although it seemed very good, and very user friendly, it blew up after 3 months. Holley exchanged it ok, but it still cost loads in postage and import duty for the replacement. However, the best thing about it was the datalogging facility, which when using a wideband sensor, made mapping a doddle. I've been looking into the Emerald one but can't find any reference to datalogging. Any ideas? Ooh, bloody ell, footy's on! Bye!

No not those ones! :smash: The ones that hold my camber arm mounting bracket to the body!!! Have I completely fooked it or can it be saved? I cant drive around with just one adjustable camber arm! :headvswal

What's gonna be the best gearbox oil for my UK manual - with 160k miles on the clock, the old stuff has been in there a long time by the look of it??

I've removed everything gearbox, exhaust, mounting bolts but on lifting the engine raises a little then stops and the whole car lifts. I've obviously forgotten something but I can't see what it is. Anybody got any ideas. Thanks Howard

cant seem to find the link for the in-line resistor fix for the dett sensor :( can anyone remember where it was or know where it is thanks in advance :)

Probably bin asked before but i cant find anything on here bout it. I need new rear anti role bar bushes (the ones between the car and the bar)so thought this is a good idea to upgrade. what do you all recomend and where can i get em from. A speedy respose would be appreciated. cheers in advance danny

How do you cure noisy injectors,mines are well noisy and even wen the car is warmed up. Can you help me ppl

I have managed to fit the passenger side no problemo... But the drivers side main bolt is undone, but I cant get it out because it hits one of the pipes going into the back of my intercooler. This is a hard pipe, can I just remove it while I fit the tension arms? Also, how do I set them up? I know my adjustable camber arms can be set up on a garages laser tracking, but can the tension arms?

Does anyone have D2 Racing shocks working really well on a road car, as I’m close to admitting defeat with our bumpy roads, alternatively, does anyone have a track Z that they would be interested in a set of D2 racing shocks for? I’ll be putting them up for sale once I have sourced an alternative. Also, does anyone have any knacked standard shock that they now longer need the upper mounting hardware from (more info in the wanted section http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=75961) Thanks David

Saturday night parked outside Snafu in town centre. I asked the bouncer who owned the car, he said you had just left and gone into town dohh!! Nice car mate she looks a treat. :bow: I dont think I'd risk leaving mine where you did, theres lots of idiots out there that will run a coin down a nice car like that.

I saw a White J-spec 300zx Parked in Morland road, Southampton on 9th of July at 4:25am. It looks good and obviously belongs to a Member of our Forum as it has External 300zx.co.uk stickers on its windows! :) Would be interesting to know who it belongs to?

Team, My next medium term investment will be traction control. Now I've got the wider Nismo wheels on it just feels too 'on-the-edge' in the rain and i have had a few moments. How is it for those folks who have it fitted? Also what options are there for the racelogic kit (or others) and what is the price fitted? Saw a supra in a mag with a nice little rotary control in the dash - is that standard? Chris

What would you guys value my car at.I paid £3995 a year ago. It is a standard uk car apart from 18" chrome alloys. My kids are getting a bit big for the back !
