Zed being worked on by a garage in St Ives, Cornwall. I spoke to a guy last night who changed the timing belt. I've not seen it about and wondered who's it was? Dave

Ok, ive got the 99 spec rears, removed the rear reflectors, got clear side repeater, crystal indicators and now chromed headlights, so that leaves the front fogs. has anybody seen uprated sets for sale, a nice chromed set for example. :D Ive done a bit of searching but ive only found new OEM fogs.

Has anybody purchased these and if so what do you guys think of them?? :duffer:

HI All. Having found that a running problem was being caused by the afm not working for more than ten minutes is there any thing I can do to repair it or does anyone have a second hand one for sale at a fair price. Any help would be much appreciated.

See post 7 here Cheers

im looking for some pictures that will show a stock boost gauge under full throttle cheers

I think it was the M4 anyway! Would have either been M4 inside the M25 or the M3 outside the M25... Either way you were heading East! I could only see your roof from a distance, all I could ID was that you don't have a high level spoiler! :) Mark

You were heading towards Ealing. Only saw you when you were level, and you didn't seem to see me. I only noticed that you were spoiler-less and had a custom zorst- 2 single round pipes.

"I just got my car back from its first service since i bought it 3 months ago, according to the garage the previous owner had pulled off a vacuum pipe from the clutch (from the servo-assist) and bunged up the end... the garage has un-bunged it & put it back on & the clutch is now much lighter. Now for my question: Any guesses as for what reason the previous owner might have removed it? We can't figure out what improvement it would make? It just makes the clutch feel heavier...." THANKS TO ALL WHO REPLIED TO THIS THREAD... the clutch boost diaprahm/valve does leak which is why it was disconnected... I have now got a new problem though... my brakes have been cr…

Hi everyone i am about to turn 21 and am looking to buy a 2 seat twin turbo manual 300zx as my second car ( moving up from a ca18det powered s13 silvia). i was just wanting to know if there was a site that has the differences between all the models and years of the Z32 (ie. differences between 2+2 models, version s, and so on) any help will be appreciated.

HICAS - ATF or Power Steering fluid? can someone clear this up as i have been told to use both. thanks

yo guys im looking for the best brake upgrade money is a bit tight with Xmas and all think about better pads and discs any choices??

XENON GAS CHARGED 501 SIDELIGHT BULBS. VERY BRIGHT BLUE/WHITE GAS PRESSURED BULBS + THESE BULBS ARE KNOWN AS EITHER 501 OR W5 BULBS , YOU CAN CHECK THEY WILL BE LISTED IN YOUR OWNERS MANUAL . + ALL BULBS ARE "E" MARKED , AND COME WITH FITTING INSTRUCTIONS. + THEY EMIT A STRONG BLUE/WHITE LIGHT WHICH IS VERY GOOD FOR ELIMINATING THE YELLOW LOOK THAT NORMAL SIDELIGHT BULBS GIVE OUT. Do these sound any good and will they fit?

My front wheels have a 5% / \ camber on them. I guess that might be to help handling. But is this too much and a bad thing. The handling is very good (lowered with 245 tyres all round) but it feels unsettled. I can live with the unsettled feeling but so long as this camber is a positive more than a negative.

I am sure there was a download on here for a paper model of the 300zx? ive tried a search, but obviously nowt found. it looked like a flat sheet of paper, with fold marks on it ? which then made the car up i'll get me coat
