Just celaning the car and found the the drivers footwell carpet soaked. I lifted the carpet to find I could squeeze the water out. It's deffo not the T bar drains as the water flows freely through there and out the bottom. So 2 questions: 1. Has anyone else had this problem? 2. does the carpet continue under the stereo surround (so the 2 footwells are connected) or does it seperate in the middle? Cheers Vijay

Anybody know if you can get a 6 x 2 6/8" hole pattern steering wheel hub for a zx Twin Turbo?

The Vacuum Hose of my Blitz Turbo timer, is a tiny black plastic hose, i cant seem to find anybody who knows how i can plumb this in. Anyone know who does these kinda connectors?

Where do i gfind the connectors to plug a TT harness in. I thought they were at the back of the ignition but cant see anything.

My zeds back on the road after a little winter vacation. Unfortunately, its come back with a really bad fuel smell when starting especially when cold. I've tightened up the clips on all the lines I can access but I think the leak is on a fuel line at the front of the engine, tucked away behind the bar that links the two throttle bodies (I'm sure it has a proper name!). Is there a fuel line there? If so, how are you supposed to get to it to fettle or replace it? Cheers David

when braking I'm getting vibrations through the steering wheel at 50mph+ speeds. I'm also getting some light pulsing of the brake pedal, especially noticable at low speeds and light application of the brakes. Now a bit of background, I've recently (2 months) put R34 calipers, grooved discs and new carbon kevlar pads on. As soon as I tried a serious stop with the new setup I had very heavy virations, the whole car was shaking, and this was due to the tension rod bushes being ripped to shreads. I had new adjustables waiting to go on, so no big deal. Now that the suspension has all been sorted and I'm still gettting the symptoms above (not as severe thankfully)…

Anyone know the steering rack ratio on the NA vs TT. Been told it's slightly quicker due to not having the HICAS assisting, so thinking of fitting one when my engine is out. Cheers

hi folks, ive not had my 300 for long, but i pulled the dipper for the auto box, and i see its been WELL over filled, will this affect the change points of the box etc? sometimes i think it should go with more oomph, or kick down a wee bit harder, but its the only one ive ever driven and i dont know what it should be like. thanks Fraser

Hi all, Feel like replacing all the vacuum pipes in the engine bay with some nice blue piping :D . Is this an easy job to do without taking loads of other parts off or is it a right pain in the Ar :D ?? What sort of time has it taken people to do this?? Bary (Hexaking) might have a job for ya bud if its too technical for me ;) and no removing anything else cause you dont think it needs to be there :rofl: Smithy do you still do this piping?? Thanks all. Ant

Hi there Can some one tell me how the boost pressure measurement works on these twin turbo cars? Whats confusing is that on a single turbo car you feed the boost gauge from the throttle or thereabouts and you get your reading - simple. On the twin turbo z though the reading comes from the balance bar which evens the boost out between the turbos. My question is that when you are running 14psi (for example) is that the boost both turbos are running or are they running 7 psi each. If both turbos were running 14 psi i would have thought that would give a reading of 28 psi? :confused: Please help BensJammin

Hi all, Fitted my Razo gearknob last week. Any (cheap 'n' easy) ideas how to hide the ugly exposed gearlever - other than wind black tape around it :p ? Dave.

Hi, Does anybody know where I can get smoked rear light clusters please? Zcentre don't seem to keep them. Also, and I'll fully admit to being a bit of a tart for asking this, can you get a rear panel such that the "300 ZX" lights up? (I can almost hear the groans now). Thanks, Bart

Fellow Z trekkers I would like to have a manual gear box, I have searched the holy Z forum but my quest comes up with a different answer to behold. There has within the last 6 months been a brand new AUTO box and cooler fitted to my car which is still under warranty till august it cost about 2K. It has done about 5k and is beautiful also no mods have been done to the car apart from blitz filter and exhaust so it hasnt had to cope with much stress. Theoretically I should be able to do a manual conversion for free with the profits from the Auto box. But do these auto boxes sell at a good price even under these conditions so whats the best way to go pr…

Any help on this. Replaced injector caps and reinstalled plenum. Car won't start just keeps flooding + the spark starts nice and bright then fades to nothing. Also one of the coil pakes looks like it melted.

I have just been told by a main dealer that he needs to take my cylinder heads of, he thinks the head gaskets might be the cause of my 300 zx not starting. Does anyone know of a mechanic near to Chester who could look at this for me. some one has mentioned Andy Duff and Johnny Grasshopper. Does any one know of these guys.
