Please can someone give me a hand working out my date of manufacture on my new import? The chassis number is CZ32-502*** Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Need some help; always loved the 300zx but most I loved the SWB model as matter fact I am strongly thinking about buying the swb, but I really hace this dilema, if you would have to buy between the SWB and 2x2 why would you choose one or another? I mean can anyone please give me some helpful hints on the comparison and good and bads about the SWB compared to 2x2? and viceversa? some folks quoted me that SWB is less stable on the road than the 2x2, weights less and is shorter in lengtgh is this correct? What would be the good and bads about both models? need some help merry xmas all!

I'm in a pickle and I need some help from the club - please. The DVLA refuse to register my new import without a letter from Nissan to state when the vehicle was manufactured. As you can imagine Nissan wont help me so i'm stuck :rant: I called the DVLA in anger and they said that if I had a letter from a 300zx owners club they would register it - so ....... is there any chance the club can help me -please??? Fingers crossed!!

Have recently fitted the st/st braided clutch hose and a new clutch master cylinder piston/seal kit. Was all okay for a while but now i am getting variable pressure when pressing the clutch down. Some times it feels like there is asistance other times none. Do you think i've got a leak on the booster pipes? Could it be air trapped in the system? Or worse? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Without taking off both wheel arch linings, the radiator expansion tank is found on the passenger side wing?? correct?? Forgot to mention on a 1992 2+2 Jap import.

Hi, It's a long shot but Im looking for an End Stage Driver/Transistor Pack which I believe is located at the left hand bank/front of the engine bay, as mine has had it. As well as this I am after the multi-plugs either side of this part which are part of the wiring loom. I need about 6-8inches of the wire and plugs. If anyone has any of these parts spare or if anyone is breaking a 300 I would really appreciate if you could let me know. Cheers guys, Paul.

I saw this on Ebay and was wondering if they where any good?? or is anybody selling one second hand?? Thanks in advance ;) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-200SX-300ZX-S13-S14-S15-Racing-Radiator-Cap_W0QQitemZ8022636770QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hi my zed has nicely started blowing white/blue smoke out of both the exhausts, which is worrying to say the least. now ive heard all the horror stories about head gaskets and stuff, but i dont think this is water or condensation, no sludge in the oil, or pressure in the system anywhere and also dont think im loosing any water. one thing i have noticed is that it does it immediatley after starting within a few seconds, so i have an idea to find out if its hg for sure or not. if i drain all the water system, and from cold, then start her up and it doesnt smoke, that would point to head gasket? if it continues to smoke, that would point to something lik…

haveing recently returned from the poor part of america (canada) I noticed that all the fuel out there is below 90 octane (even the preium stuff is like 91)... so when we go crazy insiting on 99/ron100 type optimax/tesco stuff do we really need to? Do they run less boost on the zeds out there? I understand higher boost requires more octance petrol to avoid detting if possible as a safe guard.. but do we really need extra octane?

just incase anyone is feeling down with the winter problems of driving a zed... finally a chick at work pointed out how nice my car looks and sounds.. is this a victory for zed owners..(as in finally it turns a girls head not just guys...lol) made me feel better in the festive season anyways...

yet another problem... :( The car dumped some water on Saturday, it seemed to be coming from the back of the engine or the bulkhead. The heater wasn't working well either so I think its the hoses that are at the back of the engine for the matrix (theres no water in the footwells so it doesn't appear to be the matrix itself). Does anyone know of an online guide anywhere to replacing these hoses and also what the part numbers are for them? Thanks.

How long should it take to fit a rear ball joint? Regards, Matthew

ive not really posted to hear people reviews about dump valves i want to know if these will be ok for my zed do i need 2? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8022330133&indexURL=0#ebayphotohosting

Is it true that these engines have some kind of sheer pin that connects both banks of 3 cylinders together? The idea being if a piston seizes on one side it still allows you to drive on the good bank of cylinders through the sheer pin snapping? A guy who works on jet engines told me this. It kinda makes sense but is it really true???

Can anyone give some advice,there are some units that will connect my I-Pod to the head unit. However some only play, some work with the head unit remote, some don't charge. I'm looking for one that connects directly to the unit not via the radio, one that also charges and if possible one that works with the head unit remote???????
