Evening all, I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction to find an ac compressor idler pulley , as I believe mine has a worn bearing causing it to chew up my belt a tad Alex.

Just seen this up for auction and it could be a good one for any buyers out there. Anybody know it? http://www.swva.co.uk/lot-32-nissan-300zx-turbo/

Hi I'm new to the forums and in the market for my first 300zx. I've come across one on Gumtree which I'm quite interested in (I can't stand the front bumper, but they rest of the specifications look very enticing): http://www.gumtree.com/p/nissan/nissan-300-zx-twin-turbo-veilside-/1092481147 I've been speaking to the seller, and I was asking him what modifications I need to list for getting an insurance quote. He then proceeded to tell me that it was a Veilside made 300zx and therefore I wouldn't need to list any of the modifications. From a quick google of Veilside 300zx, and this doesn't look anyway near as meticulously tuned as those. Is this …

passenger fog light bulb stopped working for some reason, got a new bulb and went to fit, the new bulb doesn't work... tried 2 new bulbs and checked the fuse which is fine, they both didn't work which makes me think its wiring related :( any one help?

So I'm finally going to start work on getting the zed back on the road, I've decided the best way to tackle the mystery problem I have is to just pull the engine and rebuild it. I'm not seeking big power, I was hoping with a remap from Noz 400BHP. Should be more than enough. As it happens I'm going to New York sometime in the near future so was hoping to take advantage of that and buy some bits from Z1 and then bring them back in my case, avoiding postage and customs costs. (already spoke to the hotel and to Z1, both parties don't see a problem with this) I've made a quick wishlist but I could be missing something, what do you think? Also I'm not…

Alright guys and gals. Finally got a z32. 1991. Twin turbo manual. Very happy. It does however look a bit tired on the paint but nothing I can't sort there. Done 90000. Mechanically it's great. No smoke. Boost needle where it should be. Sounds great. New timing belt. Very happy. However. What are the tell tail signs the clutch is going? Pictures later date as I don't know how to put them on as I am on my phone aha

looking to fit two of these to my car, what thread and size are the screw in sensors ? and where in the exhaust am I best advised to position them. Thanks Sayers

I'm just wondering what you all think of these. I think It looks like it's quite good. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Definition-Inspection-Camera-Wifi-Endoscope-1M-Cable-Android-8-5mm-6-LED-/191474694579?&_trksid=p2056016.m2516.l5255

FINALLY after all these years - Found a service manual for sale on fleabay and bought it. Been looking for one at a decent price for years and although it looks quite worn etc, I got it for £12.01 (plus delivery taking it to £20).

Your going to love this one.right.just had a really daft thought. But as i thougjt about it, it started not to sound that darft atall so here goes. Rihht on my last car.to get the max air into my car i bouhht yhe biggest dan k and n air filtet yhat would poss fit behind my intercooler.a front mount. Now in thinking insted of spending another eigjt hundred pounds on two maffs and aload of electrical stuff to wire up two maffs.can i just use the existing maff and split the pipe into two like how it comes behind the maff and run two seprate air filters further down into cleaner air on both sides..would be nice just to do away with maff altogether. But i bet theres more t…

The entry thread for January's COTM competition is now open in. Get your entries in!!

Well new year, new plans, With my green na having passed it's mot and the tyre replaced after its blowout, i've decided to turn my attention to my swb, and just keep playing with the green one, to cut a long story short, my mate are supra guys and I've inadvertently started a bit of a competition between my 300 and their Toyota, I know roughly what I'm doing but not tunned anything to this level before, so assuming I'm a complete novice what would I need to achieve 550-600 bhp? As that's what I'll need to be competitive. I don't want to build it to destruction and there's no deadline, so it want to do it properly. Here's my current thoughts Gt675 …

Quick question ... Will an 18" 10j et25 fit the rear without arch work ?

So decided I would do a boost leak check today. The tools I was using are below: 1 vac/boost leak plug 1 piece of blue tubing as I have loads sitting about in the shed and its great for hearing small leaks. 1 halfrauds tyre pressure inflator thingy Sadly, I didn't seem to be able to get any pressure in the system, nor was I able to find any leaks. Thought maybe the tyre blower upper may just not be giving enough air. So, I decided to get the smoke matches out of the boot and try again. At first, I can't see it coming out from anywhere, but then sure enough, it showed itself. Sadly it's coming from down near the drivers side turbo and I can't actua…

Hello. I cant sell on here but not sure where the best place to put this. Mods, please move or delete as you see fit. Doing a bit of tidying up and found a grounding kit I bought on here years ago. Never opened or fiited, think they were about £40 at the time. I dont think I'll have another Zed so no use to me. Seems a waste to throw it away so thought id see if anybody wanted it. Im in Solihull. Got a load of other zed bits if anybody is interested. Mirrors, rads off the top of my head, probably loads of other bits too.

On-going issues with my headlights, I'd like to ask a question, I upgraded my main beams to a Xenon bulb, great improvement, if you put the Main beams on and with my hand cut the beam down to imitate a dip bulb, the illumination is great, much better than the HID's. so I wondered, surely an upgraded Xenon bulb on the dip would be the same.. So I buy some and install them. go for a drive on a Dark, Dark Night.. and hey presto, Rubbish!! So what's going on, is there some wiring issue happening that I don't know about that is causing this, Any 'leccy guru's please apply.... Rich

As title, what are these and where do they go? My Z doesn't currently have any arch liners, looking to refit shortly and wonder if these are part of that arrangement? Thanks.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-Z32-RUBBER-WING-SEALS-/190851632555?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c6fa4cdab

I am after a few bits and wasn't sure if anyone has tried successfully to use aftermarket parts.....?? 1) Lambda sensors.... I was looking at Bosch replacement ones as they are apparently the OEM supplier.... part number 0258 986 504 2) Temp sensor for ECU - Nissan 22630-51E02 or aftermarket Intermotor 3) Temp gauge sender - Intermotor - 52540 / OEM - 25080-F3900 4) DET sensor - OEM or JECS I wanted to hear from anyone who has tried either successfully or not to use non oem sensors and get some advice....... I know some parts cause problems and Noz and others have had them fail or not function correctly so wanted to see if any of these are a…
