gimme a call mate or pm me when you have 5 mins. my wifes mothers s14 200zx has got serious problems, she took it to nissan who fooked it right up and now she broke down and took it to her local butchers sorry i mean garage, they dont know shit about it, dont have a conzult or data scan etc, and dont have the tools or knowledge to work on it. im going there wednesday to tell them not to touch it. can you get in touch as soon as possible to arrange a pick up and repair mate? i want someone who knows what to do to look at it before someone else kills it. by the way it had an oil change a few weeks ago, and the twat only went and used a fooking engin…

Hi Guys, I am a new member, MashFace300zx. My name is Marc. Due to the fact that I use a van all week for my business, and have access to my wifes frugal ford KA I have decided that I would like to get myself a little plaything, a 300zx TT. To be honest, I wont be using it during the week as I have my work van, and for most day to day things we use the wife's KA, but i like the idea of getting the 300 zed out on a weekend for a blat :dance: I have been looking at 300zx turbos now for near on a year, and i have found a suitable candidate, i am yet to decide what the seller wants to do as he has lost interest in it. Its a manual JAP SPEC SWB 300zxTT i…

Only kidding, merry christmas to everyone. :duffer: :dance:

:hyper: red Z with high spoiler and two single round pipes, on london road around noon today, looking good ;)

I dismantled my head lights other day to clean them took out dipbeam bulb (H3) and i could see a glare guard so would it be possible to remove it, obviously that is restricting the amount of light that come out? has any one removed it? cheerz

you know some gifts you just cant hide, or keep secret ? well, i had just had an early prezzy from Ms T A nissan 350zx...all set up for drifting, body kitted with spare set of wheels for drifting too of course, its a bit heavy to run, as the batterys are not cheap..... remote controlled drifting car....how cool is that lol

Hi, when decatting should you use thicker oil or will it make no difference, because i always use 5/40 fully synt thanx.

Hi mate, spoke to you few days ago about car not starting checked every possible thing cleaned all connections etc, then went back to coilpacks noticed there wasn't spark in one but all coilpacks are ok as i checked them with different cylin so its one coil pack harness also checked reading with meter got same reading from all even faulty one, day later car start fine no problem and then today same problem car started let it idle for approx 10/15 mins and cut off again wot can it be?

Yet another question about the HICAS system. When does the HICAS operate and does the light show when it is in use. TIA, Dave G

Does anyone know whether MK2 MR2 alloys have a similiar pattern / offset to fit onto a 300zx. I kept a set of 17" Arospeed RS GTs from my old MR2, saves me money from buying new alloys if these fit. Just get some better rubber onto it. TIA, Dave G

Often here of cheap Brembo discs for the Zed especially in the US or on Ebay, found this link on TT.Net which is very informative, so worth reading guys ;) http://my.is/forums/showthread.php?p=3766800#post3766800 smithy

I have just fitted the matrix but the heater is not very hot, engine reaches temp and all the pipes are getting hot including the heater pipes but it is not blowing very hot, are the heaters crap on the 300 or have i still got a prob, cheers woody

On saturday I did a small run in my car (about 4 miles) to try my new ecu chip. When I got back home I noticed that the car dropped about a cup of water on the drive whilst I opened the garage door. When in the garage I realised the engine sounded really rattley on the top end so I switched it off (temperature gauge still on normal though). It made quite a lot of gurgling and hissing sounds around the balance bar area, the leak continued for a short while. I topped up the radiator (it needed lots to top up), and decided to leave it to cool down before I looked for the fault. Yesterday I went into the garage to start investigations and it looked like the leak had co…

was it you?

...can I use the same oil that goes in the gearbox for the diff. I've just changed the gearbox oil and bought 4 litres (£10 a litre) as it (officially) takes 3.1 litres - and it does - so I've got £9's worth of Millers oil remaining and if it can be used in the diff I'll be pleased - otherwise it sits on the shelf forever...

Morning people, Please read the link http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=59355 I've not had the time nor the money to look at this yet being crimbo, getting married in 6 months and skint. However, something else happend this morning. I pulled out of a junction from a stand still and turned right onto a damp(ish) road with almost zero throttle. It felt like the near side front wheel sort of tucked slightly under the car (if you know what I mean) a the rear came straight out propper drifting stylye doing probably no more than 10mph :eek: Also the car seems to track badly down white lines and joins in the tarmac, seems to do it worse on t…

this may be a bone question but i want to get a dump valve that flutters like **** as opposed to just one big woosh!
