Hi looking at a 300 zx turbo soon and don't really know a hell of a lot about them (apart from the one I have been in went like :x: ). The current owner has said that the oil pressure gauge wanders quite a bit on start up and occasionaly whilst running. Now on any car I have thought about buying before if this was the case I would run a mile but he claims this to be a guage fault and quite common on 300zx's? Is this the case? If so what would be the best way to check myself? Any other pointers for zx purchasing would be appreciated as well. Tia people. P.S the owner said it belonged to a forum member named Tizer before him. I see there is a Ti…

Please read my thread in items for sale!! :)

Hi there mate, it appears you have bought my old 300zx! The car you own is the reason I have mine today, I sold it in a moment of madness for £4500 and have ****ing kicked myself ever since. Check my RIDES pic and you will see her in there along with my black one, the rear spoiler is off a mk5 Escort and the leather came from a car that later went on to complete the gumball! Tintworks in Kingskerswell did the windows and as far as I know the car IS DERESTRICTED. Powewrcraft automotive removed the cats and due to some ******* running a key down her I had the whole car painted (including Nose grey bit) about 14 mths ago. You have what I can only describe as my heart and sou…

Just De-catted my J spec TT today and removed the heat and Lambda sensors as they don't fit the new pipes...B4 I did this the car was running rich and my Air/Fuel gauges were all over the place most of the time.

As title says, if you think you can do a decent write up on fitting my products like yampiedog has http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=36292&referrerid=119 then get in touch. Am looking for someone to do stainless steel slam panel and matching headlight covers and brake/clutch booster hoses. For taking the time out to do the wording and take pics etc, goods are very well discounted :) cheers smithy

Does anyone know of any suppliers for the AC Autotechnic S7 Invision Oil Pressure Gauges, as I have recently purchased one but the sender is missing. I have mailed the manufacturer but to no avail. Cheers John Crisp

Just did the heater matrix, and I noticed that the temp needle now slowly drops to zero, then back up to normal, then back down. Its totally random, and not related to engine speed, boost etc. It never reads higher than 'normal'. What is causing this...?? :(

Since having to fit neww 555's and subsequent John DIxon chip I am getting serious misfires when booting it. As this I dont tend to do it that much I havennt noticed it, but last night I thought I would have a laugh in the wet. No Laugh, It was so bad my mate who was following me told me shit loads of flames where comming out the back and my 0-60 was about 10 seconds. I thought the engine was gona pop through the bonnet Anyone out there can help?

Evening everyone, when I want to put my car into gear (NA automatic) I should have to put my foot on the brake press the button on the shifter in and move the stick. Now when I put my foot on the brake I cant always get the button to press in, secondly, that doesnt cause a problem as I can move the stick without pressing the button in anyway, I am sure its not meant to be like that and I am now thinking what if I am driving along and someone in the passenger seat leans across and knocks it into neutral or worse reverse?? I guess there is a switch by the brake pedal thats not working re the button not going in but what about being able to move it anyway? am I going mad did…

is there a lenght diff for the lwb hatch vs swb? I think yes but want more advise!

Anyone got any pics or input into fitting the lower half (Vielside) rear bumper, I got one recently and the main thing I noticed was that my UK car has the space for a long numberplate whereas the bumper section I have doesnt, its for a square numberplate. Cheers John Crisp
