Hi all, Has anyone had problems with the headlight not sitting correctly across the bonnet line? I changed my originals as I had a spare set of head lights that I had a few mods done to (Internally only). The top of the lights that meet the bonnet doesn't stay flush. I've removed the headlights today and looked at to brackets that appear to be straight as I thought they could be bent. Any ideas? Thanks Dan

Anyone got one going spare please?

Right trying to fit some new roof trims see picture, below. My questions is how on earth do you put the grey trim onto those clips? Do you fit the mounting lugs into the trim off the vehicle and then push and slide the clips/trim into place? I have nearly got there by sliding the trim onto the white fixings, but I can not get the last end cap to then slide into postition into the end of the grey trim.

Hi all. Have a leaking front shock ao after replacements. Does anyone know where to get kyb or similar shocks for the z32 in the uk? Only ones i find are in the US. Thanks

I'm doing my na diff swap at the moment using a na subframe . But looking on the web on us sites there's a few companys that sell conversion kits to fit r230 and r200 diffs on classic z cars 1970-1978 I'm sure a kit could be made to fit a r200 na diff into a tt subframe can't believe a kit hasn't been made allready .

Nice wide arch shortie in black...

hello, does any one know any decent consult software my zx is a 1991 so its consult 1 or obd1 wanted to run a test and all i have is my mac book pro

So, in short I have MeisterR Zeta S coilovers. In turn this has messed with the camber a little and the wheels are further in at the top. So, what I need to know is what components I actually need to buy/search for. Also, what brands people feel are safe bets for quality are performance. Many thanks, Lee

Filled the car up there for the first time, however when I removed the filler cap there was a huge release of pressure. The pump then kept shutting off, so it took about five minutes to put in twenty liters or so. It could still be filled at a slow rate and drives fine. Is there anything in particular that could cause this problem or should I just follow the usual route of investigation?

Recently replaced pcv valves with genuine OEM parts and changed spark plugs the other day which I noticed were quite oily. The car still smokes, but not under boost or at idle all the time just very randomly like if I go for a drive them stop at some traffic lights I'll get a smelly plume of oily smoke bellow out for a second then stop. I'm thinking of changing the valve cover gasket and the one below which is just sealant I believe? If so would blue hylomar be a good choice? At the same time I'm doing some water deletes and a fuel pump change, thinking I may aswell do the injectors too. Would brand new OEM injectors be worth buying or any alternatives?

Previous insurer wanted £560 for classic agreed value of £10000, but would not give agreed value if kept on a driveway. Looked at Multicar with Admiral, but the sales guy told me not to go with them as NO modifications are covered..... was nice to hear an honest " The policy is wrong for you!" Adrian Flux was very competitive with £330 with agreed valuation of £10000 or £315 without agreed value. Nearly went with them.... But... I had a call whilst getting documents ready for Adrian Flux to take out the policy..... The winner was 'Classic line' insurance who quoted me £274, Fully Comp, Classic Policy, legal, recovery and windscreen, No third party cover for other…

Ok so I was lucky enough to be the lucky buyer of the wide body 300zx recently on eBay. However there is a problem, maybe 2..... So I brought it with the suspicion that the tappets needed replacing however after a 260 mile drive home and starting it the next day the noise had completely cleared and full power seemed to be accessible (when noisy there is a significant loss of power) Later that day i stopped for 5 minutes, started again and to my disappointment the tapping noise had returned withdrawing the power with it.... I believe it had an oil change and treatment within the last month by the previous owner who also posted about this problem but I am now confused as to…

Is anybody willing that is local to me help me fault find my code 14 error on my 1992 UK, I am now down to trying clocks and a hicas control unit. I'm in Stoke on Trent, staffs Many thanks Dan

Back from SNR Motors with new t belt kit fitted new Japspeed radiator, alternator refurbished and bearing in aircon pump replaced. Big thanks to Neil at SNR for doing a top job :thumbup1: The old belt was like new and all old pulley's were working fine. Will put some pics up later

Got my zed mot'd today & she passed no problem. The mot guy was very impressed. So she's been on the road for a year now since the big build so thought I'd put up a few pics of her transformation. A lot has been done & changed within a year & there's still a few things to sort, new clutch needed soon & I'll probably get the gearbox refurbed at the same time but still so much fun to drive. Got the summer to enjoy her now.

Car had an MOT today, as usual the guy was amazed at the cars condition, well except for this:- The part circled in red is worn, so need to order a replacement. What part is it?

I still keep an eye on cars at auction. Thought I will share pictures of some that I like if it interests anyone else. Can't see sale prices, unfortunately. 11/06/2015 - 2000 GCZ32 Version S

As title. What's the power limit on the stock 300zx tt fuel pump ? Cheers :punk:

Hey, I'm looking to swap out the automatic transmission of my JDM 300ZX (1990 2+2 TT) and replace with a 5spd, and I have what I imagine is a pretty basic question but one I want to get right. Is there any difference between a UK spec 5spd transmission and a JDM one? I don't want to buy a new tranny and have it not fit or something when I come to install it. As an aside, if anyone has done this conversion themselves and has any advice to offer I would be more than happy to hear it, I'd be grateful! Thanks for looking :)

Came across this today, thought it worth a mention. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FRESH-IMPORT-1998-NISSAN-300ZX-FAIRLADY-3-0-TWIN-TURBO-RARE-MANUAL-PEARL-WHITE-/271893395675?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f4e1bf8db

OK I know I should know this but............ number 1. clutch booster >>>>>>>>> one way valve >>>>>>>>>>> plenum number 2. clutch booster I think its number 2 :D

I've got an NA and occasionally it will overrun for a 2-3 seconds after turning the ignition off. It doesn't do it every time, anyone come across this issue before or know how to resolve? Thanks :)

Shall I drive home from work with the roof off to celebrate this glorious afternoon :)
