I've just finished the engine refitting guide as promised. Link to it below... http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=48712 This is to compliment the engine removal guide I did some time back. I've also updated this slightly as well. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=44738 So if you took your engine out and were waiting for this, you can now put it back in again!

I have spotted a red Z LWB with a Supra style rear wing and custom badgeing on my way home from work the last 2 nights. Is anyone staying in Tenby, South Wales for a hol? If it is i am wondering if I can be real cheeky and have a poke around it to see if I really do want one? I know I do want one but it might help me stop drinking so I can afford it faster if I touch one!

Ive fitted smithy's twin induction kit with some blitz style filters. Since fitting I have noticed that when the car is cold the power is erractic. idle is normal but when i press on the accelerator i feel a definate loss of power and then a sudden kickin. but even the kickin erractic, i feel the car pickup and loose it. Its fine when its warm and it didnt do this before i fitted the induction kit? any ideas?

I would like some custom decals made up for my Z. I don't know anyone near me so if someone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Can anyone tell us where to get an adapter lead for a sony head unit to plug into a my car (1994 series 3). It has one large plastic connector and two smaller ones, have tried a few places but all have said they dont do ones for imports. Cheers. James.

Got to try some new rims on the car tonight but don't have the owners manual, are the jacking points obvious?

ok, iv narrowed my choice of body work down now, only prob is half of it is either abflug or border! anyone know who can get hold of these cos so far iv only found em on japanese sites like takakaira? maxsunny - where did you get your wings from???

Hey, Just wondering if it was possible to fit BOVs onto an auto, if anyone has does it have anything like the effect it has on a manual? Just after that nice sound!! Cheers Jon

I think i've now solved as the feed to the controller snapped due to it getting too hot and breaking in a few places.....the air pipe just split. Ordered some more hose from Demon Tweeks and also some heat resistant sleeving to make sure it doesn't happen again. Fingers crossed all will be well soon. Cheers for all the help!

In need of your wisdom yet again. I am in the middle of fitting some downpipes and cats for my zed and can't get the stupid heat sensors off. I have tried the blowtorch, WD40, mole grips, the lot! I can only use the grips now anyway as there is not much to get hold of now in the way of a spanner :headvswal Have you guys got any tips? Would it be possibel to snip them and then try and get them out off the car then going em up with connectors and some heatshrink afterwards? Justin:)

Hi there folks and 300 ZX´s enthusiasts!! :) I would like to get some suggestions and advices of course also make some new friends here; ok I will be in the up coming months moving to the Uk ,that will be Luton; currently I live in Mallorca; I been planning to buy my 300zx here in Spain but since I´m gonna be moving to Luton I´d rather wait and get the car in the Uk; there is quite some confusions I have about it; first what is MOT? and SVA? then I heard of so many importers to buy the car eventhough most folks have suggested me to try Bonsai and newera, last one really didn´t like awful customer service; I really want to go slow on choosing the right model; since …
