This morning 31st May,on my way to work, first one I have seen since I got my Zed back He even waved! I was grinning like a loon, who are you? in the white/cream zed with 300zx down the side, wearing sunglasses I'm the lady with the window down in the grey zed with the latino music loudly playing :D

Hi I got a japanese 300zx and its not been changed to UK mph yet, what someone has done is just put a face plate over the speedo with mph on which ends at about 110 mph I only just noticed that when I turn the car on the speedo jumps to 10mph The speed readings seem fine tho (guessing goinging through a 30 zone, etc) Any ideas why this would happen?

Silver Import Zed with 'old style' private plate ending in H. High level rear spoiler, single exhaust and sounded like an auto. You were heading towards Queensferry from the motorway junction, I followed you for a couple of miles in my red Zed before turning off for Chester. Not seen you before....

hi guys, just a quick question, i have a uk 1992 twin turbo z32. i was in the states last month and purchased a set of 6 ngk/nissan PFR6B-11B spark plugs from courtesy nissan. when i removed my original plugs i found them to be PFR6B-11C. i have read that the 11c is the uk spec plug, why use different plugs in the US and UK? what are the differences? finally and more importantly, is it ok to have put the '-11B plugs in my car? thanks darren

red zed getting towed nr penrith? maybe just a rumour but....was it you?!

Ive bought a ne bumper see below http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/images/zc002b2_lge.jpg But im going to need a set of indicators does anyone know if these are just standard ones??? cheers craig

Where is the fuse for the right side dipped headlight? (the small normal driving one)

Ok folks, there has been previous discussions on this Greddy copy front bumper, but the only thing missing is the quality of the actual item and the fittment quality. Thus can anyone comment from experience how good/bad this is ?

Was aproaching Shrewsbury on the A49 and turning left towards Oswestry. There was a Red Zed about 10 cars in front of me. I was in my White Zed.

I had to do some serious manouvering to catch up 2 you :slap: We had a quick chat at the petrol station and exchanged numbers. Take it easy bud and see you around. p.s. and welcome to the club ;)

Every time I go home to Bedford I see your car. Who are you? Both times I've been in a RX7 going in the opposite direction.

Piicked the Z up, passed the MOT well except for the front numberplate had fell off, anyway question is what is the above, this was an advisory item?

A mate of mine has a 200sx and he wants some ZX calipers to go on it....anyone?

Can anyone forward me to a link that shows how to do the TPS diagnostic using a voltmeter Thanks Roy

Does anyone know of somewhere good in the south east where you can take your car for a proper run? Preferably for free! I found a disused airstrip on google earth that's just off the A3 near guildford but it has padlocked gates and I cant find out who owns it!!! very frustrating as it is about 2 miles of straight fairly decent tarmac.....perfect for test runs and general scallywag behaviour. Any help would be appreciated as i'm fed up of going for a drive on the roads and getting stuck behind some 80 year old tossa in a morris minor or the proverbial tractor!

having some work done on the car at the moment including the spoiler being taken off and a tailgate skin put on it got the tailgate skin from luke at the z-centre but the bodyshop are having problems getting it to fit, its a 1990 swb apparently the bodyshop have spoken to luke and hes not been the best of help, and im getting quite pissed off with them cause theyve had it for ages but i dont know enough to actually sort it out, they say the skin fits on one side but not the other but my oem spoiler fitted the car ok!?!? has anyone else had similar problems with these?? or have any suggestions, am trying to get hold of luke as well but thought id post here a…

Just thought I would warn fellow 300zx owners. I bought a Nissan 300zx modifications installation CD from ebay from a seller called 'evolutiontech786' Here is the link Do not buy from him as I have paid and have not received, nor have I had any emails from him. It has now been 2 weeks! :rant:

I just bought a Z and just out of interested has anyone owned the one with reg G69CLH before?

I bought a zx about 3 weeks ago. It is a 1990 G reg Jap TT. I have noticed a few noises that i wondered if anyone else knew what it would be? There is a slight tappinf sound from the top of the engine sometimes, not always but if I turn it off and back on again it goes away for a bit. Any Ideas??? Also there is a rattle when i got over bumps etc sounds like bit of a clanking from underneat? any ideas on that one? It also has a slight oil leak but other than this it is by far the best car i have had so far and its only got 65k on it. Appreciate any comments / pointers offered. Also what do you guys think to changing the recircs to bov's on these, …

hi guys,iam thinking of getting my 1991 Jap TT converted to manual,and was wondering what your thoughts were,what ,if you have had it done,your advice is as far as who to do it, and if you encountered any probs?and if so what i should look out for,also ive fitted a new centre bearing ,have i wasted my time and money as i gather they would have to fit a new prop,or can the bearing be put on the new prop,cheers guys,any advice would be much appriciated

I'm looking at buying a Z and I test drove an import today. There were two obvious problems and one confusion on my part: 1) at low speeds in second gear there was vibration through the seat (I'm thinking prop shaft?) 2) at about 80 mph in fourth there was a vibration that seems to affect the whole car, rather than just being felt through the seat. The gearstick shook and the steering wheel vibrated as well, it felt like the car would lurch all over the place if I didn't keep a tight grip on the wheel (not a great feeling on the motorway) I'm not sure if these are related, or if one could be wheel alignment and the other something else (wouldn't expect wheel alig…
