As above, Anyone able to assist ? Cheers Sayers

I finally gave into years and years of temptation and purchased a gauge for my Z. It's on it's way in from Japan, who wants to take a stab in the dark as to what it is? Internet pie for the winner :)

I have some play on the NSR wheel, wobble when you hold the wheel at 3 and 9 o clock position and shake it. There is no wobble vertically. The play isn't from the outer ball joints, but from either the inner arm joint or the rack itself. Can the rack itself have play or will it just be the inner arm joint and will this play/wobble on the wheel cause a vibration at speed? Thanks Guys...

Hello everyone, None of my lights are currently working, appart from my main beams, they come on when I go to switch my dipped beam on and will not switch off, unless I switch to side lights or off altogether. The indicators, interior and brakes work fine, just my side lights, dipped and dash lights do not work. I have done some modifications of late stripping the car of interior appart from dash. I believe that I might have disconnected something on the lighting circuit and left it and it is shorting on the body causing the lighting circuit to stay off. No fuses are blown, checked that already. I think the reason the mains come on instead of dip bea…

Like buses, 3 came along all at once! A new chip from Noel, some bits that JoelyP managed to rescure from MJP for me and finally a nice big package from Z1 arrived today. I have been running solid Midori style suspension components from Powertrix for the last 8 or 9 years and they're just too harsh for me, they've also caused a lot of my standard bushes to deteriorate at quite a rate of knots, so I've decided to rebuild everything. One of my current KYB front shocks seem to have shat its pants and wrecked one of the rubber strut top mount bushings, so I'm just going to replace EVERYTHING. No more solid joints! YAY! All the bushings on the rear knuckles are to be…

Hi guys - hope everyone is well and sorry for your loss of Roobarb. My mechanic has advised that I need a new master brake cylinder. Having had a quick look on Ebay, I see there's a few different models. Could anyone please advise which one I need for my J reg Jap import 1991 300ZX Fairlady (automatic if it makes a difference - sorry, I know very little about mechanics and rely on you guys for help :) ) Also, any advice on where I should get this from, which is best, and how much I should expect to pay? Is there a part number? Or bore size? Thanks in advance for your help as always - The Beast is still running well for the 15 years I've owned it as a resu…

Hi , anyone point me in the direction of the Fuel ECU wiring diagram please , Thanks Sayers

Just like to say a big thanks to Lee Dent for letting me take over his workshop today so I can do all the plating and welding on on my zed :) cheers bud..can I collect it tomorrow then? ......lol,oh and Lee you've done a Stirling job on that engine bud,she's going to be a rocket ship when she's finished:)

Sorry to post this here - we've had a date change, those that are coming, it's moved to the 12th, those that weren't originally because it was Easter - you can probably now go! :lol: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?180407-Haynes-Breakfast-Club-meeting-Sunday-April-12th&p=1863294#post1863294 Anyone else is of course invited! :) Apologies for the confusion - I'm turning into spindoctor! :rofl:

On Saturday pulled off M20 into car park started to reverse & got strange noise from rear wheel passenger side. Put it up on stands Sunday & ran it forwards & reverse, no strange sounds. Back on the road today the noise is back & sounds worse when slowing down! Am I thinking wheel bearing? Not rear diff! Any mechanics tell me how can I test if it is! Art

Looked swish, anyone on here?

:punk::punk::thumbup1: so I pulled out the wheels and gave them a shot of Meguirs Hot Wheels cleaner and a good jet wash. They're still going to need a refurb but they don't look too bad in the sunshine? I've tried a few places regarding the refurb and all I've gotten so far is one place will polish the rims but not the centre spokes? I'm looking at roughly £800 from a guy in the U.K.

Hi guys, So just taken the zed on a 200m motorway trip to brum. All fine last night but this morning it was ticking from the head on idle quite loudly!.. when raising the revs for a few seconds it died down, but then came back again when idling. Stayed like this for 5-10 mins before quietening down... sat waiting for the air pump at moment and it seems normal again. Oil was replaced at xmas, have done around 4k. Should I start diggin deeper?.. Thanks, W

Saw an immaculate 260z on the motorway, would nearly change my mind as to which Z I want! Found it online easily enough, beautiful car. Driver was nice enough to make me jealous from every angle :)

Nice blue one in Olney on my way back from Santa Pod,saw you at the last minute managed a quick wave tho.

Me again :/ Noticed my front brembos need changing as they have worn right down and it's started high pitch squeeling. Tried to find some but I can't aha. Only the full kits for sale I'm sure they are 320mm anyone any ideas? Thankyou

Jap number plate back light, kinda think it would be cool to get or make a plate for it? its so JDM :P

What do you lot like better? I'm just debating on whether to swap or not that's all. Smithy's place Original Altia

Looking at buying some new wheels but need to see if anyones done anything wimilar - 18" wheels Front - 8.5J - ET14 Rear. - 10J - ET7 Any help will be appreciated! I currently have a widearch atm if that makes a diff

My car has an intermittent engine problem. I am not going to say what I think it is as I want an un influenced set of suggestions. There is nothing obviously wrong, it runs absolutely brilliantly, strong as an ox. Smooth brilliant... then with no pattern or trigger that I can find it runs really badly. It has done it most at 60/70 in fifth at a neutral throttle, it suddenly has a subtle "open closed open" throttle sort of faulter. In a lower gear it is a non rhythymic but obvious drop of power as if its running out of fuel. It can also come with backfiring, if I slow to a stop when it is faultering it backfires on overrun then in neutral the revs bounce f…

Well just making sure ive got some sort of spare wheel in boot for next weekend little outing. now i very neary binned in.the spare wheel in my boot was flat and tiny. Yes i new that it would blow up a little whith some air in it. But what happend next took me by suprise.see in pic one i got wheel out and measured it as i stated to blow it up.it went from a tiny 15" and sat in the boot resease with space around it.to bloodyhell fire over 24".thats clever stuff.and was so large i coulnt place it in the space once up.got to say though ive never seen or hurd of that before. I thought thats clever.

Was watching a crappy film called Barb Wire the other night ,only because Pammy gets her rack out ,and bugger me there's a 300 parked up in the back ground ,so the other half said "she's running down the road with her tits half hanging out and you notice that in the back ground"

There is a 300zx TT for sale on Donedeal.ie if anyones interested. I'd like to point out that I know nothing about the car or owner but it does look like it could be a U.K. model??

I believe a lot of components can be used from the auto but not vice versa ie ECU etc.... But what would actuallybe required and roughly what is the cost of this? Is there a write up somewhere guys so I can look into it.
