Howdy guys. Some of you may remember a post I put on about my 300 not seaming to be that fast. Well now I have owned her a couple of weeks, all I can say is... Blimey ! Something has changed though, I did the ECU check, put 97 RON fuel in, left it 24 hrs, then a day or two later car seamed to perform a LOT better, its frustrating though not knowing how I did it. Oh another thing, the drivers seat was shorting out, sorted that so maybe it could have been electrical ? Either way am more than happy with the power now, had some sideways action in a stright line yesterday in the wet, foot to floor and she wheelspun and back end came round about a foot …

I am wondering more about my car. I am stuck in 2 minds. When I see standard Zs for sale, they seem to sell quite easy. But because mines has a couple of bits done to it, it makes it harder to sell. Would I be best to take off the alloys and BOVS to help sell her?? I now think that I will have to get the HICAS problem sorted as I may put people off buying it. Thanks for the Poll. Dave G

Nearly there with an (unintended at time of purchase) "restoration project" 300ZX (1991 uk spec(rust to prove it), manual, TT, 2+2). But having wiring problems. Following full engine rebuild, garage recommended I had engine-bay wiring harness plugs (Injector/coil?) looked at as they've gone s**t over time (usual heat related & oxidisation problems) but weren't causing any misfire/other problems. Would have thought other members will have had similar problems & i wondered what the best advice is? are plugs available from Nissan/others for soldering in to the existing wiring loom? new loom the best option? relative costs? Sorry that I'm new to this if…

Can anyone recomend any where i could get this done close to Norwich? What is involved? and how much should i be expected to pay?

Hi Guys, This may seem a bizarre question, but thought id ask it anyway :x: If you prang it, are the insurance in the right not to pay out if you have a decat, where you should have a catalyst if the car is over 1991? Basically, I want to remove the cats, but I dont want the insurance to be null and void if involved in an accident.

Here we go again, :headvswal :mad: Got my Zed back from Zedworld who fixed dead zed problem (wiring loom problem) and also replaced the driver side steering rod as the ball socket was worn...............But still i have a shaky nose under breaking AAAAAARGH! Lets list what I have done to solve this so far:- New dampers New bushings for Energy suspension jobs (full master kit) New discs and pads New upper links New track rods both sides New Wheel bearings Tracking done Wheels balanced New tyres Replaced power steering pump (which i am convinced crapped out due to all the shaking through the steering) :headvswal :headvswal The symptom…

I'm not getting any air through my interior vents. It just stopped working tonight and came to a very calm halt. The unit works fine all the buttons and display work but just no air??? I have looked at the fuses at the drivers side foot well all seem fine, looked under the bonnet fuse box, no fuses blown there so anyone got any ideas??

got back to my Z today, it had been sitting out in the rain all day, reversed it up drive and water started poring out of my middle guage in my pillar! any ideas?!

Spotted Jason Farrow's Zed in Jap Performance magazine. Article on Bolney meet, on page 18.

right wired in ma radio an was wondering ig there is a wire in the loom that controls the electric antenna or is it that round two prong plug with two leads coming off it???

Ok, long shot here. Any one know what the correct threads are for the flexible brake pipes (TT J-spec). Just got some off flea bay (idiot) they have a male M10x1 thread one end and a female 3/8 UNF thread the other end. This is wrong I'm thinking. Can't imagine the japs using UNF. :confused:

My odometer has just stopped counting the miles! anyone know why this is? I've just converted it into MPH and it's stuck. the speedo reads fine, the revs read ok but just the miles don't tick up! any help appreciated! Jim.

Hi guys, I have bought a 300zx Twin Turbo with approx 100,000 KPH on the clock (60,000 miles). It should be ready to collect next week and I cant wait :hyper: However, I have just found out that a work colleague has had two of them and he said they are very unreliable. He said both of his kept braking down and he's a mechanic! :x: Have you found 300zx's to be reliable? Thanx

was just wondering whether 19" five stud alloys from a honda civic type r would fit on my 300zx. the person doesnt know the exact offset, but they are the same as a mitsibushi evo. thanks in advance

My electric fan runs from the moment I start my engine. No a/c on and engine cold so it shouldnt do this. Is there a relay that could be stuck on or summint???

doesn't look good does it, giving out rain for the weekend........... if its gonna rain then i'm not going, its gonna cost me £60 - £70 in fuel to get there and i'm forking out the cash if its gonna be a mudbath..... i'm a "fair weather" bloke only and not ashamed to admit it...... fingers crossed though, praying for sun cause i'm looking forward to it......
