Hi all i'm still having some stumbling problems and was wondering if anyone in the Braintree area might have any spare parts such as coil packs or ptu's that i could borrow one afternoon to try and trace my problem. I'm getting a 55 on the ECU and the O2 sensors check out ok, but stumble happens at all speeds and temps, sometimes cat overheat light flashes on as well suggesting unburnt fuel. Done all the connectors and fitted new sparkplugs :( .

Anyone have a link to the torque settingd for the big ends and main bearings please? Or know what they are, WITHOUT DOUBT

Ages ago i saw a yellow paul bailey designed 300ZX with twin front headlights - i dont suppose anyone knows how to get hold of a set? i have looked on loads of websites... i think they were made by a company called strozineck? does that ring any bells? Z Man

I heard some rumors of the 300ZX being eligible for classic insurance?? is this true? does anyone know where i can get some insurace at a reasonable price? I am just about to buy a 300zx ... im 26 without any no-claims

Does anyone know where i can find mesh to fill the holes on my Scarab front end? Ive been to Halfords but i dont like any of the styles. Cant think of anywhere else.

Well it's been a while since I've been on here. As of Wednesday I am on the hunt for a new car. I am considering the following: Supra TT Celica GT4 300ZX TT (Advice on choosing would be good from anyone who has owned/driven some/all of the above) Anyway, if I decide to go for a 300ZX, it must be a black manual TT. However, what I am unsure about is if I should get the UK 2+2, or the SWB and pay an extra £400 on insurance :( Is there T-bar and coupe versions of both UK and SWB? When I was here before I was looking at smithyguy's SWB cos it looked exactly what I was looking for, but unfortunately I have only just sold my car so haven't been…

Hi guys, i'm looking to get a full cream leather trim done including seats and all other areas. Can anyone recommend a good place in or around the london area, and also what prices they charge. thanks k

my son Rob took his car to Mr Clutch, (FIT NEW CLUTCH) I had a bad feeling straight away, they tried it on saying needs a new gear box, *****cks did,nt fall for that one. However 2 days later he collects car ,pay,s for it drives home, car overheating , oil warning light on, and no speedo reading,they also had to fit two cluches they damaged first one , also they broke bonnet eyelid and scratched paintwork, he loves that car as much as i love the ZED. ps. they,ve still got the car. cowboys!

My Zed stumble's badly and cut's out and smokes after fitting new dump valve's!! Bov's do go psssshhhhht when you change gear or take your foot off gas suddenly car start's to stumble immediatley after psssssshhhht!! Zed was fine running on recirc's and run's fine when i remove the Bov's and replace with the old recirc's??? Everything was fitted exactly as it should be (pipe's capped off/correct clamp tightness/bov's fitted to right pipe's) Any had the same?? :headvswal

the Zed is in for MOT & new parts required. is the heat exchanger required? Will it mess up the axle if I don't fit a new one? They said do away with it you won't get one anyway so I said let me look at the Zed site & will let you know. What do you all think? Help required ASAP. Don't know what to do :confused:

Hi all, Picked up my 300 yesterday (1994 Non turbo Manual in blue). Couple of things. Firstly the window frames/sills are a mix of black/chrome and have seen better days. It's the ones that run under all 4 windows and up the sides of the windscreen across the t-bar. Anyone know where I can get some new ones? Or can you just refurb what's alread there? Also it has recaro seats, is this standard, doesn't look to be? Anyway having trouble getting comfy in it which is beginning to get on my nerves, so am considering selling it already! Apart from that that it's fantastic. Cheers, matt. :hyper: :hyper:

I used to use WonderWheels and it was fantastic but now I have split rim alloys and it says not to use it so I need an alternative that is friendly to my wheels.

Just got the zed back on the road proper for the first time since January. :hyper: Its been of the road for so long because i've been so busy at uni/work etc ive barely had the chance, and for the last couple of months ive been saving for its visit to PPS next weekend. :hyper: Anyway, during that time i got myself a set of second hand 18s. When i had them fitted i was told they were a little buckled and i would notice a bit of vibration from the front. After driving it today, there is defo a good bit of vibration at 70mph and over. I had planned to have these wheels reconditioned anyway as they have been curbed, but i was just wondering if buckling can be cured wh…

just wondered is that you're zed on you're replies you have the same spoiler i want on mine and just wondered about fiting it, does it fit in the holes left by removing the stock spoiler or do you have to drill the car if so was it hard to do i'm buying mine from the zed centre thanks for you time

:D

For anyone interested in buying a really fast zed (stage 2+ madified - no that's not a spelling mistake!) The car will be available for viewing at C+S Woods in Astley Manchester up to the bank holiday weekend and Phil will sort out viewings - he'll even put it up on the ramps if you want to see all angles (he's rightly proud of the quality of work his team have done on this car over the last 2 years). Phil can be contacted at.... C+S Woods 651 Manchester Road Astley Manchester M29 7BQ 01942 892568 (The best Zed specialist in the NW - ask anyone on here!) For a spec on the car, check out my posts in the For Sale section on here.

jacked the car up and removed the undertray, laek is deinately not from rad or overflow, coolant dripping off the underdrive pulley so im thinking water pump? could it be anything else? right thats as far as i can go because i simply dnt know what to do next! all advice welcome guys yaseen call me if you can 07763628667

Someone must know of a few, really struggling to find a decent place. PPS and a couple of other places suggested are just too far away.

there was a puddle of water last night under the car and i was hoping it was just the overflow but looks like its been leaking all night, only just got up so gonna get ready and have a good look :cry:

1st was a Gunmetal Grey, K plate, totally stock looking Inc Zorst and wheels on the A14 at about 1.30pm on Thursday 19th may i was in the Honda Concerto :o trying to overtake you (and i did) :rofl: 2nd was a Blue, (like PaulC's) didnt see the reg plate as i was travelling south and you were going north, but it was deffo a UK Z on M11 at about 2.30 on Thursday 19th may. Well, was it you then?????

Hey, Just wondering if anyone knew of any good specialists in the Abingdon/Oxford area. The Z's handling feels pants at the moment with loads of wobbles and distorting massively when going over even small bumps in the road!! It's a N/A auto 1992 by the way. Just wanted to get someone to have a look at the steering assembly and the suspension. I feel that something might have to get repaired / replaced. I've been to the Nissan dealership here for something else, they seemed totally clueless about everything, so don't really want them loose on her again! Cheers in advance guys, Jon

Hi, how different, and where, is the exhaust on a SWB from a LWB? Anyone know?
