The clutch on one of my NA's is going at an alarming rate. What is the cheapest way to get my clutch done either from a garage or buying parts and doing it myself.

See a burgandy z just about to be put on recovery truck off the A13.

Hi guys, I'm looking into fitting a bomex (or similar) kit to the one below: http://www.bomexaero.com/images1/300z/ad099.jpg Anyone got any advice on good suppliers in the UK? Some chap on ebay is quoting me around £900 for genuine bomex bits which seems pretty good. Any advice much appreciated :)

As title :) Got one on my S13 and the standard S13 one should have a non return valve. Cheers Pete

First off, Just a quick hello to all as this is my first proper thread. Anyways, I have a J-spec TT manual '94, lovely car & shedloads faster than my old Pulsar GTi-R until this morning :( :headvswal :headvswal Heres the problem, the car runs absolutely fine up to 2500rpm, then feels rough as a badger arse, boost pressure looks fine at idle no warning lights on. Only thing I have noticed is that fuel pump is buzzing almost constantly, had same noise on Pulsar pump prior to it dying.The Zed is standard aside a Blitz SUS. Thanking you all in advance, Chris.

Cruising passed me as I drove from Harpenden to Luton along the A roads. You were coming the other way. Think is was a Jap import TT. Nice standard looking Zed. :bow:

Hi, im new to these forums, and new to the 300zx scene in general, went out last month to buy the missus a micra, they had a 1990 zx on the forecourt (i found out later it was an import) i spent more time looking at the zx than i did at the micra, and my missus waited untill just the right moment to say, "you can have that if I can have he car i realy want" and me being the guilible idiot ran over to the sales man and put a deposit on it immediately before she changed her mind. Bad mistake!!! ive now got the car and love it, but my missus is now driving round in a BMW 525i !!!, ive got big plans for the car (and plans for the missus as well but if i told you what they wer…

Ok I managed to find a harness for my Blitz Turbo Timer, which was connected to my RAZO turbo timer an looks the same. But there are 2 wires that confuse me. there is a 2nd set of wire out the back of the unit with a 3 pin plug. Out of this is 1 purple, 1 orange and 1 white with brown stripes. Now i know the purple is to goto the handbrake, but not the other 2. The harness which connects to the car also has a white wire with brown stripes, so i guess I just connect the 2 together. Just the orange one then. Ohh its one of the silber Blitz Turbo Timer with boost guage.

Hello all, as you most probably see im new too these forums so hello first of all :) iam after a new car, and ive been looking at and very interested in the 300zx ive been to look at a few but none really taken my fancy, also information has been lacking on my park as im new too the japanese turbo market also i would appricate some pointers on what i should be looking for in my first zed, such as, what should i be looking at work wise? parts changed etc one of the main worrys is fuel consumption, now i know a 3.0 v6 TT is going to drink it like a irish barfeind but i wouldnt mind knowing figures on what you can get out of a standard zed mile…

Does anyone know whether I can get hold of the fittings for the scuttle panel on the zed? They are the small ones that go between the fins on the vent/drain on the panel and are like the automotive equivalent to rawl plugs - i.e. small plastic plugs with a screw that goes down the middle and locks it into place)? They are probably a standard Nissan part, but wouldn't know what to ask for!!! Cheers Rich

The car has started making a creaking noise when breaking or turning - especially when doing both (breaking AND turning) Thing is, the car runs straight, breaks straight and feels like it is cornering/handling correctly other than that. However, it also rattles like hell when going over bumps (of which there are many round here!!!) as if there is something loose underneath - sounds like the noise a train makes when trundling over joins in the track :rolleyes: . When it was in for the clutch replacement, the garage noticed and fixed a split heatshield, but that hasn't cured the noise. The car is running on 19s and has eibach springs/koni shockers, so I…

Beaumont leys lane at about 4:30pm on 8th March, Private reg.... ****MPH! Ive seen this car around the same time and same place a few times now?????

Right i'm new to this forum as i'm sure u'll notice, and i don't own a 300ZX yet but am looking to do so once i have finished my project 106 i have have at the mo. I was wondering if Zed's react as well as Supras and RX7's do to single turbo turbo conversions, and if it's possible to. Cheers

I'm looking to get a 18 inch wheel and tyre package, can anyone recomend some good places to start looking?

Is there anyone in the lancashire area who would be willing to quickly put my zed on their conzult? I have a strange intermittant misfire :headvswal and just wanted to check everything quickly. Will give beer or money in exchange! :duffer: Thanks, Stu

Are these good value and worth buying coz people have told me to get an electronic boost controller? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43120&item=7959066862&rd=1 and http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=72205&item=7959229769&rd=1 Seem good value to me. Any ideas

Import (I think) as I noticed a square front plate. Bloody typical - 1st time I've driven anywhere, not in my Z and I see one!

Anyone know what the stock exhaust bore diameter is ? and if it varies then im specifically interested in the bore size of the pipes between cats and backbox. Ta. :)

Got a problem with the autobox, its holding the gears for too long, for example it will stay in first and second at the same rpm for like 5 seconds at a time (seems like an eternity) before shifting up. Now chunk reckons his did this and it was the autobox ecu playing up. However, the car has a speedo chip fitted which also effects the steering. Could it be related to the speedo chip messing up the signal? Also is there a way of wiring up the speedo chip so that it doesnt mess with other things apart from the speedo? From what i can gather from the steering at least, the speedo cluster electrics has an effect on it. If I just unplugged the cluster would everyt…

I have been looking at different turbo kit for several months now and i found this today http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_6_16&products_id=94 idealy I would be wanting to buy from a uk company im just look for peoples opinions on this kit. Cheers Eddie

Hi All, Just picked up my Z about a week ago. Came fitted with a set of First Super Weapon alloys (17s I think but I've not measured them) which are really nice, although a bit of a pain to clean. Haven't managed to find a supplier's site anywhere on the net but they look very much like the alloys on this GTO: http://www.3si.org/rotm/rotm200003.htm. Don't think much of the rest of this particular GTO, but nice wheels. Anyway cleaning them this evening I noticed a crack running right through one of the spokes on the front left wheel. Ouch. I'm thinking expensive, but I'm also thinking it needs to be sorted out because I imagine it will unbalance the load …

Hi All, Was unfortunate enough to encounter a road gritter coming in the opposite direction around a bend a few days ago. Wasn't going that fast, a smidge under 50, it was around dusk on a fairly wide road but visibility wasn't fantastic and I didn't even realise that it was a gritting lorry until I was a wee bit close to do anything about it. The problem is that when I cleaned the car on Sunday, my nice black paint job has a swath of little white pinpricks running across the bonnet and also on the right wing. You have to be looking, but it annoys me, and I'm now worried about water getting under the paint. I learnt another thing about washing a black car …

Just wondered if that is possible to do a single turbo conversion to these? as i know you can buy them for the supra twin turbo and the rx7 twin turbo but what about the zed as no one seems to do them ??
