It has been a few years since I had the engine out on my car... Read up on engine removal guides and have a question. Why do I have to remove the fan, drivebelts, loosen alternator, ac compressor?

Since buying my Brembo GTR calipers, I'm obviously doing a complete rebuild on them, but I'm having trouble deciding on what colour to do them. I personally can't stand anything other than neutral colours, so black, silver, grey and anywhere in between. I had thought about getting them done silver with black or grey lettering in a high gloss....but not too sure about that. Another choice would be to do them a high gloss metallic grey with a silver lettering, similar to the 370z Nismo calipers - but with a higher more detailed shine. Or....I have considered a shadow-chrome effect....but not too sure if this is cheesy or not. It's not an 'in-yer-f…

http://www.pmas-maf.com/product-category/search-by-vehicle/300zx-90-96/ Has anybody had any experiences with these, a lot of people in the states are using these apparently.... I know Nistune recommend them in a few of their videos Fas

Does anyone know where the best/cheapest place is to get these bushes, Nissan call them inner transverse link bushes. I am getting a bit confused trying to find the correct item. Zcentre don't seem to list them and MJP are out of stock. Searching online seems to state they are the same as 200sx ( which I'm not quite sure I believe), if so, why is it that the ones I think are correct for 300zx are about £80 and 200sx ones are about £30? if this link works... http://www.driftworks.com/pair-of-nissan-front-lower-arm-bushes.html It states lower down the page that these will fit standard R32 arms, are these compatible? I have J-spec TT if it makes any difference.

Hi chaps, Has anyone got a Wiring Specialities RHD engine harness either fitted or not fitted, I'm after a small favour/little help please. In fact a LHD one may be just as helpful if that's what you have, thanks. Joel.

Not the most extensive advert, but does anyone know this car or have any thoughts on it? Cheers http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-RARE-Nissan-ZX300-TWIN-TURBO-Fairlady-/261535468270?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3ce4ba8aee

This tatty looking thing is up for sale....can't imagine it will go for much, but it has a Veilside system. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=221712015005

Hey .i think there was someone on here selling modified front side markers/indicators to suite larger side mount intercoolers .any input will be appreciated thanks steve

Just about to order a new wiring loom for the engine, which is straight forward enough and add a knock sensor. Should I order a new transmition harness? If so do I order a manual one or auto manual conversion? The car is being converted.

As the zed will be painted hopefully in the next few weeks I thought I would pick brains on parts. Service costs etc. What would full brakes cost and suspension. Not really looking at high end stuff yet but reasonable priced then I will build up from there as for the moment I just want my car on the road.

Hi I'm having trouble getting the right rear tie rod ends I've bought a pair but the size and thread on both ends are different my z is a 1996 with electric hicas I was told thay were all the same but there not, does anyone no where I can get the right ones?

Hey guys Just a query like when I first start the car up and dip the clutch etc it feels strong... The bite is half way let's say when the car has warmed up the pedal feels like it goes further up, the bite is at the top and when pedal goes near the floor it feels spongy any ideas? Air in the system? Cheers :)

My stock dials have arrived today, the speedo needle is all the way around, I thought it would go back to zero when plugged in, what do I need to do? Thanks

sitting here like a kid at Christmas. my zed is coming home still not fully repaired but one step at a time and il get there. even the wife is excited

Hi Guys, got a slight problem, had the car off the road for some work and before the PS was okay, however when I took it out today, at first the PS was as light as a feather, could turn full circle with a finger. During the morning on the way to Cambridge, the PS started to "lock up", whilst turning it would start moving okay (lightness had gone) then it would hit a brick wall, with a bit more effort, whoosh.. it went round.., This "locking up" was happening all the time as I could feel it in the wheel. I have checked the fluid level, and its fine, so any suggestions would be grateful. Rich

I'm attempting to fit a set of aerocatches to my bonnet. I've put the pins through the holes in the slam panel, where the original rubber bump stops used to be. With the nut on the pin, above the slam panel, I'm a bit apprehensive of if there's gonna be enough space for the bonnet to shut properly. I don't want to go cutting the bonnet for the body of the catch, to realise that the bonnet now sits up. Have any of you guys had any experience with fitting these? Pictures would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

Started my car this evening and switched lights on only to see the main beams came on aswell at half brightness, if I switcht the main beams on the work at full brightness, recently the battery has been flat, what's going on? Thanks

Question for users of R33 GTR front Brembos. Is it not possible to use the 350z front disc with the R33 GTR calipers because they are also a 324mm diameter / 30mm thickness disc. The only difference being the height or offset which is 54mm vs 49mm. The 350z discs are available a lot cheaper and surely the pads and pistons in the caliper can compensate for this 5mm difference? Anyone tried this with success or failure?

Travelling back to London today down the A1 to the M18 Warnings of an accident ..... slow Got level with it and it was a navy blue (I think) zed with a severely stoved in back end. Looks like it could be a bad case of whiplash hence the title Didn't see who had piled into it unless it was spun into the armco at speed

Hey, I know many have smoothed off the original bobbly bits in the paintwork around the bottom of their Zeds. I plan to do the same. Is it hard to do, am I going to need a sander, or will good old elbow grease be enough, or will that take forever? Cheers!!

Can anyone point me the right direction on where to get a full set of hoses.

I have been incredibly lucky this morning has I have managed to remove both my duff o2 sensors with very little fuss. Obviously I soaked them in plus gas fluid over night, then a simply smashed off the tops of the old sensors and used a 22mm socket to remove! Very lucky! I currently have my BMC out so that made room on the OS and took the battery out on the NS. My car also has no A/C so the pipework on the NS wasn't there to complicate things. My question is do I need to or should I put anything on the new sensor threads and how tight should I wind them in? Also the sensors I bought are from CPZ.... https://conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=…

Has anyone got any good recommendations on tyres I'm looking for a 275/35/18 rear and 235/40/18 on the front Can anyone recommend anything, the car will only be very occasionally used ( I don't live in the uk at the moment) and will not be out in the winter. I seem to remember falkens being popular.
