Looking at getting my first 300zx and tHe seller has shown me some of the issues with the car... Not that clued up with bodywork repairs... Will these be a nightmare to sort? Thanks, Mark

seriously is that r33 rear lights? lool. look my mind a few minuets to comprehend just what was happening..

Hi chaps, the carpet in my driver's footwell is often damp, especially in the winter. I can't find any rain leaks, and the targa drains aren't blocked. I'm not losing any coolant either (at least noticeably) - it does seem to taste a bit like coolant but I might be already intoxicated... The whole area behind the pedals just seems to get covered in condensation, so much so that there's surface rust (hard to see but the shiny parts at the top of the picture are wet): Any ideas on the cause? Could it be rain dripping in via the throttle cable or master cylinder? Or is it just because of the weather being damp? Heater matrix? Thanks!

Hi, I have noticed to night when I turned the car off some water came from the right side of the car and ran down the path. This is the second time its happened in the last 2 weeks. I checked water level and looks fine, I just assumed it came from the expansion bottle. could it be anything else? cheers mark

Hi Guys I've got an issue with the number 5 cylinder not firing (first one on the pass side looking from inside) and when I do a bit of research I find that that cylinder seems to have a disproportionate amount of failure from the other ones, is this common knowledge or just luck... Rich

Hi all, I haven't posted in a while, but the weather is improving and we're getting more than 4 hours of daylight now, so project Z should recommence this weekend. I just wanted to check, can anyone see why this wouldn't fit - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jakoparts-J2501044-Master-Cylinder-Clutch/dp/B00FAIJLPC/ref=sr_1_cc_6?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1423745051&sr=1-6-catcorr&keywords=300zx+master+clutch The price just seems too good to be true. Cheers!

Hi all, currently have a TT Manual with BoVs, HKS single exit back box, and a cone filter. Just wondering what would be the next logical step performance wise? Thanks, Stefan

I was in York yesterday and caught a glimpse of a dark Blue Zed parked up outside what looked like an apartment complex. I was going from Haxby Road toward the Fulford area, didn't get the reg but looked a nice example. Is it anyone on here?????

So I've just finished a full rebuild, started the engine today for the first time, and the lifters are REALLY noisey, I'm hoping it's just a case of the oil not being fully pressurised yet and not all the way round the engine yet, I've only ran it for ten mins, tomorrow I'm going to let it reach operating temp and see if it stops, everything was installed correctly, so I'm baffled really, I'm hoping it quiets down once the oil is warm and thinner? Also there is smoke coming up from the engine bay either side of the engine, there are no leaks so I'm hoping it's just all the oil and wd40 etc burning off the freshly build engine? I'm just hoping for the best! Haha

just wondering at what power level does a 300zx become just to much for the public road as in its just not usable on the street just wondering what people think 500bhp 600bhp 700bbp 800bhp looking at power at the wheels

Why do some actuators have one feed of them opposed to some like mine that have two comming of the unit? thanks.

I have never fitted after market seats before. whats the beat way to go about this in the 300zx I see after market sub frames are thin on the ground. would it be a case of modding the old oem brackets to suit. who has done this and how did you go about doing it

Hi guys it's been a while, think my ecu has broken, fat friend of mine sat in the passenger seat and kicked it car then tired off and hasn't started since. Spark plugs are clean and there's no spark or fuel going in. So pretty sure it must be ecu. It's been mapped so il Have to also solder my mapped chip into the new ecu unless someone has one with an adapter already fitted?

Hi folks , Sometimes (usually when cold) my speedo doesnt work and will then just kick in and work as normal , other times I will be driving down the motorway and it will flick up to 120mph (without me doing 120mph) and then read as normal again .

I have just installed a engine in my zed which I removed from a donor car. Could anybody tell me the correct way to plumb it in as I can't quite remember how it was originally done. At the moment both the hoses from the actuators are connected to the boost solenoid com pipe. What I need to know is where do the other 2 pipes go which T-off on the other side of the solenoid. Can anybody help please! !!!!

Any one on here have a greedy 3 row on there car.and or for sale?

As some of you will know. I've been having a stalling problem when coming off boost and putting the clutch down. Anyway, done a couple of boost leak tests and wasn't bringing up and of the usual suspects. So, I managed to find some air coming our near the drivers turbo, didn't seem a massive amount of air so assumptions were as normal, dam clamp... So, decided I'm taking all the turbo outlet pipes off as that might be the best way to go and bingo, found the problem. Obviously it didn't feel like loads of air because the whole was so dam bog and pointing a direction that I couldn't get in to listen at, so I was just finding a small amount blowing back. …

Is it possible to change the turbos without removing the engine?
