Anyone recognise this? Found it while doing stuff on my car today

At around half 3 I decided it'd be a good idea to go out in this Arctic whether to try and take my BOV'S off the car and go back to stock recircs. 2 hours later and I've only done one side (passenger). What a nightmare it's turning out to be. Probably wouldn't be too bad if I wasn't trying to do it on my driver in the freezing cold. I couldn't move a bolt on the other side and the head snapped off one of the camps so I gave up for a while on that one. Unsure if I could use the car now until it's finished as I'm guessing one BOV and one recirc would be a little weird. Anywa, got me wondering, what jobs that you thought would be easy was actually a pain in the…

OK simple before or after? Before: Or after:

I wrote off Jan's Zed on Thursday. Got a few cuts and bruises and big pain where the seatbelt diagonal was. On the A64 on the Malton bypass. There's a long drag up an incline, then it goes into a right hand bend and just before the bend ends starts on the downward descent. About 500 yards further on is a layby where a camera van hides sometimes. I came up the long drag slowed to about 50 - 55 foe bend and was looking for the camera van when I hit an unsalted outside lane full of snow and slush and ice. Well it started to slide I corrected but I must have over corrected or something because it went off the road and the all hell broke loose It demolished a s…

Just want to say a big thanks to Mark and Noel,Mark fitted a replacement engine and Noel mapped it,car drives great.

Hi guys, just been and viewed another 300, I have fairly good knowledge of the cars, the turrets, floor and boot look to be solid. There is quite a bad patch of rust above the windscreen, how difficult can this be to repair? I presume the windscreen would have to come out? The car has sideskirts and from what I can see the rear sills seem OK, however there is some bubbling at the front of the sills inside where the door shuts. Sort of on the top of the sill and below the hinges. Is this common, I haven't heard of it rusting here. At the back, yes, but not the front. I know it's not a lot of information, but I don't have any more, any help would be appreciated, even if…

Well bad news just been told the zed I have bought has a low compression on cylinder 6 when cold 75psi then builds up when warm, wonder if this is the noise Iam on about as well:( seems to pull ok but give it any right foot really. Bet a engine rebuild won't be cheap :( bugger bugger

Remember the 300ZX trip in France with a 944 and Capri? On BBC 3 now!

Does anyone know what size the outlets are on the HKS style FMIC are? I know the godspeed ones are 2.5"

What grade oil are people using in there zeds, it was changed in December looks clean but I don't know what grade was used so might change it gents. Cheers

Took a vid of the engine which you may be able to hear the noise which could be a bearing or something or do these engines suffer from dry tapets? cars not done many miles in the last year and I haven't had time to drive it any where. not one for taking vids on phones or I pads as makes it sound worse lol. http://vid280.photobucket.com/albums/kk200/m_reed2008/IMG_1956_zpsb4epiytz.mp4 hope it works.

Noticed a few things on my zed tonight. First. Fuel pump is really loud does quieten down over time this common? Oil garage works then stops I think this is common? And temp gauge is half way up within 8 mins but been told this probs normal so not a a problem. One other thing is, sounds like a dry bearing when engine is running but not sure which is there a common on that drys up? Like to get it sorted. Car as only done around 200mile in the last year so I have been told so that won't help, I have not had chance to put any miles on it yet due to work. But do love it already lol Cheers mark

Hi All I was just wandering if anybody knows anything about my car or if anybody has owned it before as the engine is sweet, i just want to know what upgrades it has, i know its been chipped and a few bits done but i want to know a bit more detail so i know what i can do in the future or if anybody will be able to do a detailed look and let me know. Thanks for looking. James

My car is smelling of fuel so i have changed all the fuel lines as they looked a bit crappy (as you do), but the only one i havent done is the little, partially hidden, awkward ne between the fuel rails at the front. has anyone got a nice guide or advice on how to do this without pulling the plenum off otherwise its going to turn into an awkward job i think. From what i have read this is quiet common in the cold on these z32's, terrible design flaw that

1994 Nissan 300ZX auto TT (2015-01-27 22:08:35)

Just to say that i picked up my gsp 600 turbos yesterday and was most suprised of what i found in the box .bearing in mind there ment to be chinese rubbish. i found a peace if paper from turbo technics in nottingham. Showing them there indervidual balancing and vibration test..So am am i to asume that these were made over there.then shiped to england to be tested and balanced.then shipped again to the retailer.whitch in my case will be amazon in america .before being shiped backed to me. .

Right. I have now got a pair or 3"dps and 3" testpipes.now need to mate up the two 3"testpipes to a single 3" exit.is this jobie a fabrication part.or by any chance that somone somwere sells such a peace.see pic. .

Well just found this from when I scooped past you on the 62 earlier this year.

Right I'm thinking of putting my fog light where one of my reverse lights currently sits my question is how do I wore up a fish fog light and switch and what are the legal things wi regards to this? I have recently purchased a led fog light bulb and was planning fitting that.

Does anyone have any experience of mobile axle stands like the ones cj autos sell? My garage is too narrow to get the wheels off in it. I've now got all the bits to do my rear suspension overhaul including removing subframe. My plan was to back the car out of the garage, jack it up, put it on axle stands, do some work, but when it's time to put back in the garage jack it up and put the rear end on the mobile stands and then push car back into the garage. Once back inside I'd put it back on normal axle stands. Repeat procedure for as many days as needed. Before I go buy one I'm wondering if anyone has good/bbad experience with them. http://www.cjaut…

Anybody know if a tt swb will just fit on to a lwb tt or is it that just the diff and hubs etc are useable?
