hi guys just fitted the n/a power steering pump to the zed all went smootlly till i went to fit the belt. its quite a bit to short. the belt that was on it is a 4pk925. looking at ebay the belts listed for the zed is a 4pk 1025. any one come across this issue. any help would be greatlly appricated.

Hello! Anyone experienced the Prolex-Uk coilovers? Find them on ebay, but I do not know the brand or Quality, would appreciate comments :-)

It's -2°, it's snowing, and it's a Sunday. Yet me and Si (Mondo) are about to set off to Newcastle to start stripping parts off a Zed in an unheated lockup. Must be mad. Utterly mad.

Can someone confirm for me which wires I need to run to a VGs EFI and Alternator loom to make it run? So, forget that the car and it's looms exist. The engine needs to run as though it's not even mounted in the car. I "Think" I need the 12v main live from battery to starter loom. ECU live. ECU Ground maybe? And then I need a live to make the starter crank. That will fire up the engine and it will run. is that right?

hey all, whilst on the lookout for the right TT zed I have been dreaming up the perfect modifications, and was wondering weather or not their good or not worth it so here goes: full 350z brembo discs and calipers (custom made mounting brackets) stock turbo internals uprated (billet or whatevers out there) 15psi boost jets from z1 ( http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?products_id=3082) HKS BOV's with recirc (removal of stock recirc) EGR Delete are any of these a good idea for my next potential victim or not? obviously the exhaust and air intake will be changed (Longlife and JWT) Thanks all, Jamie

Just getting together a list of parts for the engine swap next month (finally!!!) and am upgrading to new style injectors. I was wondering if these are basically the options I have to get them to fit?- 1) Fit 300 degree rails, machine the upper plenum for one of the injectors to clear 2) Replace fuel rails with late spec, machine lower plenum to fit new style rails 3) Replace lower plenum (and upper if they aren't interchangeable??) and fuel rails, with new style of each Also, what would the following kit achieve? https://conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=7731 Cheers guys

Found 99 spec indicators on the z centres website, logged in to pay and the price jumped £14.. Any ideas ? Is the site slow to update prices or what ?

Going over to a fmic. I dont supose there are any negative issues with using 3" pipe as much were you can. Is there. Apart from space and tihht for room. Surely bigger and shorter the pipe the better.? Yes i know its gojng to be a pain but. Hey do is doing anything.u just get on and do it .right.

What are peoples' thoughts on this new Terraclean system that is being used all over the country? Do we think it could be worthwhile on our VG engines? Or is it something that could damage 20-odd year old seals and components...?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]85012[/ATTACH anybody know? I thought it was just on a shaft. Not with this lip.

What do you think about this engine noise? Not the whir of the tappets, but there is a slower more clunky tapping noise behind it (with a regular rhythm) Done my best to record it, you can hear the clunking quite well even with the bonnet closed. [video=youtube;sMJqy-vMw8c]

do you still get these? been 2 months since i registered and wanting my member number so i can get insured with adrian flux for discount

Hi to all the technical people that may be able to help...... I have sourced some Brand new Bosch O2 sensors that have the same Bosch number as the 5 that I have in the garage spares and on the car fitted...... I was trying to find out if the OEM ones were stamped up with Nissan part number or just the Bosch part number? The Bosch ones I have fitted to my Z and spare ones in the garage have A24-621 120 23070 on them....... Same number as the ones I can get hold of..... Would it make a difference if the Nissan logo wasn't on them??? These are not the universal style ones...... Cheers

any one know why this front wing is so expensive is it new or a pattern part or somthing cant work out never seen front wings for this price ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-300-ZX-1990-1996-FRONT-WING-PRIMED-LH-LEFT-PASSENGER-SIDE-N-S-SIDE-/221547139697?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3A300+ZX&hash=item33953d1271

Does anyone know the specification of these bolts that hold the wing on that bolt down from the engine bay? Mine are looking ugly now and need replacing, Are they 10mm M6? Thanks Dan

Anyone know where I could get a replacement UK rear windscreen from? Auto Glass (who my insurance use) say they can't get one. Thanks, Phill

I now have everything I need to sort out the lighting for my side markers - are there any holes already in the boot floor for me to run my wires up to the loom on the rear lights, or am I gonna have to fire up a drilll...??

Shame it isn't a 2+2 in white, nice model though.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-18-Kyosho-NISSAN-300ZX-Fairlady-Z-Yellow-BBS-CH-MODIFIED-TUNING-UMBAU-ZX-Z32-/391021192718?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&hash=item5b0aade60e

has anyone had dealing with this dealer, they are state side. they have a part i need for alot less than my local dealer wants for the same part. any advice would be greatlly appricated.

Taking my front belts to this place tomorrow http://www.seatbeltservices.co.uk My driver's belt has been slow to retract for a while now and more recently, it lots in odd positions and now won't retract at all, so I have decided to have both belts' recoil and lock mechanisms refurbished so they should fly up like that of a new car! Anyone ever had this done before?

Since changing over the interior panels from S1 tweed to the alcantara I've noticed that the interior is squeaking a lot more than it used (enough that I actually notice it now). I't particularly loud when I'm carrying a passenger with the noise only seeming to come from that side of the car. From what I can tell it's a the contact points/joins at the back of the targa and at the base of the A-pillar. My first thoughts are that it's just rubbing between surfaces - is there any spray or such product that can be applied to reduce this squeaking that anyone is aware of or has used successfully? Thanks

Anyone know the right size jubilee clip / hose clamp for the air intake (where the MAF fits)? ID look at the car but I'm out at the minute. Be good to know the size of the other 2 (left and right) that the intake T pipe has. Thanks, Lee

Have a set of single pot rear Brembos from an R33 with disks (300mm). Question is are they going to be any real improvement over the OEM rears? or should I just look at D2 or K sport rears

Im thinking that 2.5 inch pipe work is better for the front mount im wanting. The inlets and outlets are 2.5" but the pipework reduces straght down two 2" with reduces with all kits on the market. So im thinking ill buy the intercooler on its own then buy some pipe work to fit. My question is should i buy three inch pipe with 3" to 2.5" couplers or what best size to get.or can i get 2.5" pipe and what size joiners will fit suggly over both pipes without air leaks.
