Hi evry1, Im on the look out for a 300zx twin turbo, uk spec. I was wandering what i should be lookin out for, possible problems etc. Grateful of any help.

Cars been running rough since having the pre-cats gutted. When you disconnect the drivers side o2 sensor the car runs much better but not perfect. I've done an ECU test on both sensors and they seem to check out ok. Any ideas anyone? Is the sensor fooked or am i barking up the wrong tree. (or am i just barking)

Wheel spin was crazy :rolleyes: On the rear I've got Stillen anti roll bar, all bushings are Energy suspension ones, Eibach springs and F1 tyres, any ideas for better grip or is there a launch control kit? cheers smithy

I heard a funny noise when driving. I loooked under the car and a plastic pannel has come lose at the back and is draging on the road. It's under the car, towards the front on the passesnger side. The front of the pannel is still attached to the car but the rear has come free. Any idea if it's all still there (or has part been lost) and how to fix it back in place? I can't see any obvious fastenings. Cheers chaps! Tim

do any of the traders have a problem with the way in which the PHNW matter was dealt with? As most of you are aware we had received complaints from the majority of the traders regarding PHNW's conduct on the forum. They were not removed from the forum, we simply did not ask for them to renew. Just so you know, any decisions are not taken lightly and PHNW was given right of reply. The aim of the forum has always been to provide a good service to its members, subsequently the traders reflect massively in the forums appearance. No trader has ever or will ever be removed for personal reasons, when we receive a number of complaints about a trader Mac always works t…

Wife just got back from work in my Z. When she pulled up i went out to assist her parking as she was all over the shop. Anyway, noticed water dripping from under the car. had a look and it was too far forward to be the overflow, so popped bonnet and water was seeping out of the rad cap. I could hear bubbling from the plenum area too :(. Turned on ignition and the temp guage when right up just before the redline. Wife says thet car felt fine and she never noticed the temp guage rise untill she was parking it, which means it was probally boiling over for some time. She was stuck in trafic in the down center for some time in the heat with the air-con on and then when sh…

Hey men, I've a big play (from left to right) on my rear left wheel. 3 garage told me that it was the bearing but even after changing it, the play remain !!! Do you know what it can be? All looks good... Can it is the Hicas?

Im thinking of replacing the front calipers myself - and putting new vented grooved discs on at the same time. the front calipers have stainless braided pipes to them How easy is it to remove them and re-bleed them? Any tips? What sbest for pads too EBC Red Stuff (Ceramic) or green stuff. I was gonna get porterfields but I have heard they squeak badly.???? Cheers

Hi all Found this little gadget hanging down in front of the radiator. Its a small black plastic box A bit bigger than a pencil sharpener and it is attached by a wire to the canistor in the area in front of the radiators (drivers side). Anyone know what it is and where it is attached to normally. Also how do you post pics. Ive tried but it keeps telling me the file size is to large. Tried compressing, didnt help.

Okay guys and gals, gonna fit boost, oil pressure and water temp gauges soon so what are your views on pillar pods,radio slot panels or other type of gauge mounts. Am I right in saying that the pillar pod for a SWB is different than the 2+2 one.What have you fitted and was it a PITA

My neighbour just spotted a black zx with green 300zx lit up at the back, reversing by my house. was it u?

Just got a puncture in my 3000 mile old Goodyear F1s. It's near the centre of the tyre, a very sharp shard of metal has gone through. Easy fix for a tyre place? Hope so, don't fancy 100 squid outlay for a new one.

Any one know where I can see a diagram for the folding mirrors for a jap spec. I dont think any other market does the folding bit. Want to convert my UK to these. Mark
