Hi folks, I have fitted a new steering wheel to my Zed..... I am not a fan of aftermarket updates, but sought something a little more modern and "chunky" than the original. So sticking with the "OEM-plus" theme, I bought this from Interior Innovations in the USA. I still prefer the look of the original - especially as I had it retrimmed by Hide N Seat a few years ago - however I definitely prefer the "feel" of this new one!!

The clock in my newish (1990) wasn't working so I decided to have a go at it. Solder joints seem to be the main problem so I took mine apart so have a look. It has the 2 piece pcb so I split it by unsoldering the connections at the H and M end, 3 on each side which let me separate them. Using an iron and thin solder I resoldered every joint I could see, I didn't bother unsoldering anything first as the new solder mixed with the old. Took about 10 minutes. Put it back and it worked! That was yesterday. Today a friend with a 1992 300 came in with the same problem. His clock has a one piece pcb. Same plan, resolder everything in sight. Again, it's working. I mess about wit…

I tried doing a few searches and I've sent some emails out to no avail. I even found my old post from over ten years ago asking a similar question. Sadly my zed needs a lot of work and I am based around wembley/willesden now. Any recommendations/suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you all in advance. Vic

Hi there, What size mm do I need to replace track rod (tie rod) dust cover? Had all my tyres replaced 2 weeks ago with a tracking done. Now I have a split dust cover on the nearside. Not had chance to check the off side, yet! Z going to workshop Monday to have the Air Con Compressor replaced (JDM) Two places I sauced wanted £250 for a second hand JDM compressor just for every-ones information Art.

Hi Everybody. I'm looking to get my hands on a good condition VG30DETT if anybody has one or is breaking a twin turbo. It must be a good engine with good compression figures.

Thought I’d spoil the old girl with some nice new rear lights

Took the old girl for a MOT today and as usual all jimmers work was perfect once again car passed no advisories again ?

Hi all, This year has flown by, so before it's too late, we have to chose our exhibitors for this year's show....

Would you/ do you have a twin turbo manual with out a clutch booster?

Saw a red Zed I think with white wheels, don't think I've seen it before but only caught a glimpse Was travelling on the A610 from junction 26 of M1 towards Nottingham last night around 8PM.

Hi, does anybody have a good guide as to how to replace the window top roller, ideally with piccies please. Ive looked on you tube, and TT .net and found some info, but not really what im looking for , I want to avoid breaking my window. Ta

Any one know of a kit going or where to enquire? I stupidly thought I’d just call Bonzai Breakers and I’ll get a kit. They don’t have any and there’s a waiting list?. Was hoping to get it done over this winter.

Hello everyone! I've been lurking on here every now and then since selling up in 2016 but I've really been feeling the itch to get back in a 300zx for the last couple of years. I've been watching the markets for the 'right' one for the past year and not much has come up that got me very excited. I do have a question for which I tried searching the forum and couldn't find an answer....is anyone able to recommend insurers/brokers for Jap imports? ? Of course I google searched also but anyone with a positive experience of any would be good to know!

Hi folks I have brought my Zed down to Devon and now need fuel, BUT every garage I have been to has run out if Super? So do I risk it with a bit of e10 regular until I can find some e5 super?

They seem to have a good reputation but the prices are even more than Samco! Anyone running Roose hoses? views etc? tempted but not sure it's worth paying the extra?

Just ordered new tyres front & rear. 225/40 Goodyear’s front & 265/35 Nankang rear both 18s fitting Saturday, I have Bridgestone on the front at the moment with nankang rear. Same setup when I imported my zed. So I have gone with Goodyear at the front this time. I haven’t had any tyre issues to be honest so should be happy with the set up.
