I found this 1991 v6 twin turbo 300zx, it has 38k miles on the car but theres a slight problem, its been side swiped. I was wondering if these cars are unibodys or panels? So i knew if its going to be hard or expensive to fix if i buy this car. The guy is asking 4 grand for it but im going to offer him 3. Let me know if its panel or uni and worth buying or not. thanks! http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=199553002&dealer_id=57695973&car_year=1991&model=300ZXTURBO&num_records=100&bkms=1152231950753&lang=&isp=y&start_year=1990&mod_bookmark_id=null&certified=&search_type=both&distance=200&make=NISSAN&min_p…

I've booked my car in to have the new 99-spec rear spoiler fitted and the hatch tidied up but I need some advise on its positioning. Any photos of fitted ones would be appreciated too. Ta, Graham.

A red and a black one. Sat in the layby just off jct 11 of the M27 at about 7am today. Twas me that flashed ya. :x: Looking nice and shiney BTW. :bow:

First Zed I've seen for about six months. Going into London on the M4 just after Junction 3. Looked good, I didn't wave cos I was in a van going the other way.

Hi Guys I took my Zed for a spin last night and wasn't lloking at the temp gauge. Steam started coming from under the bonnet and when I looked at the gauge it was at the top. Pulled into Sainsburys and let her cool down then filled her up with over 5 litres of water. It all went in as I looked underneath and none was coming out. Why would the rad be empty if there is no hole. I checked it a couple of weeks ago, but have only driven it twice since. Drove home which was about 25mins drive and the gauge never moved. Do you think I have a problem and do you think that I have done any long lasting damage? Thanks Spencer

It was red, at a place called Salah Imports in Birmingham Nearly, nearly bought it.....but something in my head said no. Drove nearly 3 hours each way, and I am gutted. Few little problems I noticed were... Front bumper had no plastic mud guard behind it...and no mesh around the front. Pannel above the bumper before the bonnett was pink instead of red. Rear bumper was pink. The reversing lights pannel between the lights was slightly iffy. Turbo guage was not working, and didn't feel as quick as it should IMHO Rear spolier was a little loose. Inside one of the rear archs was a mess, whereas the other was clean. The deciding factor... …

if i was to remove the heads to change the stem seals etc, is it then possible to remove the turbos without removing the engine? thanks.

Got my Greddy intercooler today and when i opened it, in the box was a stencil to spray Greddy onto the front of it. As it will be on show i want to do this, can i just use any kind of spray can like from Wilco or Halfrords?? Also has anyone got a Uk fitting instructions, my Japanese is only a lil better than my Inglish and that isn't too good hehe. In other huh??? funny symbols :tongue:

I am trying to set up my Profec B II using the settings below (cheers Kirbz), but the high gain will only go to 35% - am I doing something wrong ? Lo Set - 25% Gain - 25% Set Gain - 0.50 Warning - 1.00 Warning L - 0% Hi Set - 45% Gain 40% Set Gain - 0.75 Warning - 1.15 Warning L - 0%

Finally getting my car sprayed in couple of weeks. Was going to get original silver with large flakes, but now not too sure, now thinking blue. What colour do you guys think it should go?

does anyone know a good alloy wheel cleaner as mine are caked in brake dust ?

Hi well I finally got hold of a working used Tps this week coz mine was cracked, i got chance to have a go at fitting it tonight all went great, mounted it pluged it in, connected datascan, ignition on and set the tps at 0.44v only to find that the tps was open at 0.44v, and the Egr sol was off. So what i did then was adjust the Tps until it was closed, when i reached this point the Tps was reading 0.30v-0.32v and the Egr sol was on, so i started her up to see what happend and it idled fine with the Tps set at 0.32v + Egr sol on and the AAC was 24 then changed to 12 after i went for a spin round the block, the only differnce i noticed that wasn't there before is that when…

Folks, I was under the impression that http://www.nemesisperformance.net/ had seized trading due to them going into liquidation. Now I see a fully developed website selling everthing including the kitchen sink. Is this Kosher or what ? I mean, does anyone know or can confirm that they are really trading or is this a scam site ? I would like to order some aftermarket mirrors and don't fancy my hard earned cash go down the bog. Can someone comment please.....

on my exhuast coming from the headers etc, there is a section on the pipe that has two resonators, can i remove them both or just one of them without affecting the backpressure on the turbos? i can understand having one resonator on single out pipe before the silencer but there is two on this bugger!!! must have been too loud before prehaps? im sure mine has got cats still on also.

My off side upper suspension arm is knackered apparently. Load of wheel movement and looks like bushing has worn. Mechanic reckons that I dont need to replace the pair and that replacing with adjustable ones is overkill. Since I am selling up soon, I dont want to go overboard - any thoughts on this ?? Also any other thoughts on what I should get done at the same time? Where is the best place to get hold of the part? Car is a 98M Jap Import TT. When the mechanic went to local Nissan they could not match the serial number :headvswal to get the date of manufacture (they knew it was import but couldnt work it out apparently). I have looked at the r…

Looking at engine; left front 152 left middle 150 left back 151 right front 140 right middle 140 right back 90 wet 150 (guessing that means its the ring???) Whats the chances of a piston going from 140-150 to 90 in 1000miles as I had it done by a garage and I was told they were all fine!??!?!?!?!

Can someone tell me how many oil filters a 300zx twin turbo takes...i can only see one...i was told that it takes TWO.....and where is it located? thanks
