As the title says.... Anybody know of any decent retailers that sell Originals Thanks in advance Faisal

Well its time to let the cat out of the bag and let you guys know that Mandy sold Zebedee to me last week. I have to say after a week of driving "him" I can understand why she loves this car so much it drives so well and looks......well I don't need to tell you how it looks. So I have to say I feel honoured that Mandy decided to entrust this epic car to my safe keeping and I promised her that I will look after him in the same way she coveted the car under her ownership. So I'm already planning my show season and what's going to happen to my white car too. Previously I was going to sell it ( this may happen in the future) but for now I'm planning some more engine upgrade…

Been looking at sway bars there is not much difference in price between the stillen kit and the ST kit are they both just the same dif brand or is one better anyone have any personal experience with one or other or both.

Evening all, anyone got any suggestions on the sealant for rear lamps, need to fit my new 99 lights, ideally would liked to source the correct butyl strip tape, being able to remove in future is a priority so not using urethane adhesives or the like as they are permanent. Cheers.

Toying with the idea of fixing one or both of these to my Z! Anyone fitted sensors or fitted a reverse camera to their Z! Seems the sensors can be painted/sprayed to match the colour of your car. Any thoughts on this?

Well, Finally had a call from the Insurance today They've given us the full £6,000 it was insured for ! That was after two weeks of telling us they were having trouble valuing it ! They said There only two on Pistonheads and a few on on ebay but none with the low miles or a 98 model Version R they could base their valuation on. But as we'd got all the service history, all the records etc they agreed the full insurance value. so RESULT !

the guy says the motor is stock I think he means as in the internals if you listen to the vid when he is talking

A bargain if you can collect. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300ZX-Z32-LWB-Boot-Lid-Rear-Window-Spoiler-In-Red-/131432503569?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&fits=Model%3A300+ZX&hash=item1e99fcd911

I know I sometimes post these essays, I don't expect everyone to read them, but the SAR ones are very cathartic for me to write, often while still stinking of avtur, ears ringing trying to wind down. But these car ones I simply enjoy re-living the moment. I once read a mountain biking editorial, to paraphrase, it said, "Biking is all about the seconds. You spend weeks waiting for the weather, hours driving about from forest to field, days peddling, hours belting down hill. But perhaps once a ride, you set into a bend, your hairs stand up, you realise you have run out of talent and are relying on luck, you feel yourself slip outward on the loose gravel towards the edg…

I would just like to say a big thanks to Jimmer at Powered in Bristol for the fantastic job he did of repairing my sick 300zx TT its running brilliant now and if anyone is in need of a really good mechanic I recommend Jimmer any day of the week

A track day at brands hatch on Sunday finished my clutch off, so I'm in need of an uprated one. I know the opinions of XTD clutches are very strong for either side, are they worth going for? Stage 4 looks like it would handle some abuse, are they daily drive-able? Needs to handle at least 400hp comfortably The other contender is competition clutch, but is pretty big jump in price and would need a flywheel too. While the box is out, I'm very tempted to put a single piece prop in too. Any advice appreciated!

Hi can anyone tell me if a digital dash cluster can be fitted in place of a normal dash cluster and would it be a simple unplug and plug in or would it need other electronics fitted Thanks Richard

Got another potential zx lined up which looks really nice but has had the air con removed... as fast I can tell it's compressor, radiator and plumbing... everything remains inside the car. What am I looking at cost wise (Roughly) to get it back in? Any ideas?

Well I spent a little while adding my new cheap gauge to the steering cowling after i made a pod for it and fixed it in place...... I wanted to see what you all think?

Well my 2 year old son got hold of my zed key and some how snapped it, I have both bits do you think a key cutter will be able to sort it. If not can nissan still sorce me one these days? It's my only key I got with the car as well:( Cheers mark

As ive just looked and the group buy for the twinz stuff is not there. Im asuming that because the time scale and the waiting list that this group buy has fallenwayside.if thats the case.next time wants to order something from the states please give me a shout.cheers

Managed to do some work on the poor old zed the other day, installed the fmic and fired her up only to be greeted by a loud tapping as she's running, it increases speed with the revs and sounds like it's coming from the top of the engine to the rear near the firewall. She was running fine before nice and smooth , just a little smokey from the pcv valves. Not been run for about two months now, any ideas?

I've a week off work, so need to fix a few things with my zeds First is on the was home yesterday in the na and the speed speedo suddenly stopped working, if the steering goes steering when heavy as well so could be fun to fix any suggestions? Mainly want to work on my swb, and I need some advice on its boost issue, took it for a drive and think I've worked out a pattern, it boosts 1 bar through 1-3 gear, but under load in 4th 5th (like when I was on the dyno) it only reaches 0.5 bar, but if it's still accelerating from 3rd so under less load it boosts properly. Can't test 4th into 5th on public roads. Anyone have any ideas, thought it was the boost controller b…

The majority of us have HID lights in our projector dipped or low beam and mostly these are white in the range of 4300 - 6000k colour. The main or high beam is another matter as a H1 HID light kits can be fit for sure but full lumens is not instant, so flashing is going to look weary and even on and off the main beam on an unlit road could lead to issues. Many months ago i bought these bad boys and here is a pic along side a standard filament 55w H1. I'm sure you can see there is a big difference with the led one being a massive 18mm in diameter, this will not fit in the stock opening so out with the dremel and open it up, it's aluminium so this …

Well as the weathers getting better and the car season starts again my 300 got out for more then half hour today ,my little one will be 2 next week and she's more then helpful when it comes to a good clean

As above,thinking of selling it if somone makes the right offer:),swb tt,it's been used as track car so stripped out with racing seats and harnesses,quick release wheel,loads of new parts,still have interiour so could be put back on the road for not much work or money,this is a great car fantastic engine and box,all,the body work has been done with repaint,but paint job was done by me so bear in mind it's not been done professionally,pm me if your interested..oh and I'm not desperate to sell so no silly offers please:)

Just out of curiously really. The pipe work (intake and intercooling etc) is pretty much identical on both side. So equal lengths etc. My question is, if it wasn't the same, so one side was a little shorter than the other (mainly from the turbo outlet to the intercooler), would it cause any problems at all?

Every time I look at the zx lately I spot a new thing needs fixing I guess it happens on older cars Good news boost controller fixed Bad news noticed some heavy cracking in the viscous fan That will be messy if it breaks Are they still available on is it a kenlowe type upgrade needed
