Nice red zed parked near the bottom of Front Street this evening. I parked my black one just a couple of spaces up. Hello if it was you! David

i see you tonight 05/09 at about 7:30ish coming from beckenham juntion going towards downham... first time i have seen your car its looking good mate

I was taking my headllights out on saturday and after unscrewing that front fan on that bolts to the rad, i saw another smaller radiator looking thing on the bottom under where the induction kit cone was...is this standard or have i got a mod i didnt know about?!!

Felt like my first Nissan meeting :-) ! Blue 350NZ next to me (Black Zed with one shiny chromed light) and yours that seemed to take a while to start then sounded like it was about to take off! Rob

Now that I know it won't be illegal anytime soon, I'd like to free up the lighter socket and hardwire my Road Angel. Anyone know of a guide, please? (preferably with pics)

Hi All, recently fitted my superb Indiglo Dials from Vijay's GB (top job m8). Thinking of ways to re-route the yellow 'low fuel' light on the fuel guage that is now blocked off. The only real way i can think of so far is to have a small Led sticking out of the black plastic front facia that holds the Overdrive and Power lights on the right-hand side of the steering wheel. Was just wandering what you guys have done to overcome this? I know alot of you got these in the GB, so any idea's or details of how you've got round this will be a massive help!!! (plus pics ;) ) Kinda important now cos i fixed my odometer at the same time, and i've just worked out …

hi people, wondered if anyone could help with my problem. car runs fine always untill you floor it and get to about 80 mph the it cuts out until you throtal off, once you have let the throtal up you can go again as long as you dont floor it. i've changed the maf with 4 different ones does the same on all, the tps is ok and the cas unit is nearly new. the car is serviced regualy with new filters and plugs. the ecu shows no faults. can somebody HELP as this is driving me mad.........

Anyone ever get loadsa reflections when the sun is lowish in the sky. In particular I get the binnacle top reflecting in the screen pretty bad i have to squint to see. Partly due to the steep rake of the screen maybe ?? I thought I would whip the binnacle off and cover it with Alcantara, I have some black left over from working on my another job. Is it a trouble spot on the Z ??????

Hi, my car's been running really sh1t lately so I stuck it into Nissan to find out what's wrong (I know!! but Baggins is on holiday! :( ) They have said it's the Mass Air Flow sensor, but they want £562.28 for it (fitted!!) My question is, are these straightforward to fit myself? (As far as I remember I had to remove and refit it when I fitted my induction kit?) Quick answers appreciated as Nissan are waiting for an answer!!

Newcastle Westgate Road. Nice looking motor you got!

My Z31 300 broke down recently and I was hoping for advice from someone . As I was driving along (at about 25mph) I heard a single clunk from the engine /gearbox and the engine cut - out . After coasting around the corner I tried to re-start it but to no avail . The engine turns over but fine but is not firing up at all . Any assistance would be much appreciated as the three mechanics that have looked at it were as useful as a solar powered torch .

Not long had my Z'd and was aware that the aircon wasn't working. The guy who sold it to me said it would just need re-gassing, however, I've just had a specialist out to do the deed and when he pressure tested it he found that the aircon radiator was leaking and would need replacing. So my question is how much of a job is it to get out and replace, has anyone had to do it, and has anyone got one for sale?

Out of interest, I have a 1991 Lwb TT jap import, at the business end of the throttle cable on top of the engine it looks as though there is space for another cable. The car is running fine, I take it there is not meant to be another cable, what is the other 'cradle' for? :confused:

Don't even ask me why :rolleyes:

Can anyone show any plumbing diagrams of how the catch cans are fitted to a t/t zed ?? I ve seen them connected to an N/A but no T/T's. Anyone ??

I think they come pre-gapped to 1.1mm, is this correct or does it need resetting for the Z TT ? CheerZ Paul

Anyone know where i can get a St/St clutch hose? Do any of the traders stock them? Mine has started weaping from the join with the fitting. Cheers, Mark

Does anyone know of anyone that produces a race/rally approved roll cage for the 300zx ?? :cool:

Hello, I have just purchased a 300zx twin turbo auto 1991. It drives lovely and sounds amazing, however, when I fully open the throtle it seems like it is hitting a limiter at around 6000rpm and it does not change gear straight away. Has anybody had this problem and does anyone has any iodeas of what it could be? I have disconected the battery to see if I could reset the ECU, thinking that it could be something to do with the memory, but that hasn't worked.

Just wondering what everyones opinions are? Now going down the route of getting better cooling upgrades, upgrading hoses and pipes etc, but am unsure as to what to go for...Front mounted intercooler(any brands reccommended?) or twin (again brands reccommended)? Thanks guys... :)
