Spoted 2 today Black parked near the guildford Purple with Veilside looking kit by chalkwell park and the nissan dealers

black zed on Crow Lane, Henbury, Bristol, suited and booted nice motor!!!!

If a 300zx can not substain tick over when the dump values are connected what could be the problem? Thinking of buying a car but it has this problem would like to know if it is likely to give me other problems, any advise would be appreciated Cheers

Hi I´m a total newbie thinking of buying my first 300zx. Its a 1991 US model. (with the turbo charged engine ofcourse) The car is nice BUT has a moulding sound when clutch is in upper position. I assume the clutch needs to be replaced? BUT Does anyone have an idea of how much work it is to do that? The Nissan dealer where I live have never seen a 300zx so I better ask the experts here.... Is it more complex than changing clutch to a "normal car" ? Do You need special tools etc.... What clutch (brand/model) do You recommend that I buy? Thankful for all input in this matter :nana2:

do the 555 injectors use the same 2 orings and main seal as the standard injectors?

Hi Guys Does anyone know the ouput from the EL panel inverter? Does it run on AC or DC...think it is AC ? Can anyone with an illuminated panel stick a multimeter on the outputs and let me know? I have a panel that doesn't work and before I send it back to AndyZ as DOA I want to try and fix the problem if I can. Any help appreciated.... Cheers Martin

After picking my new Zed up on friday, i have spent 3 days going over it with a fine tooth comb (cant use it on me head ? nothing to comb), and have a few questions for you good looking, very inteligent peeps on this wonderfull forum. Hope that was sufficent cos i ain't ass licking anymore. I bought the car knowing i had to replace the center prop bearing, but the more i drive the car the less it seems to vibrate??? i know the car has been standing for some time (18months in a garage in japan) then it came to the uk last october, and the guy that had it also didnt use it, he has only just registerd it (1st jan 05). so i am going to leave it a while before i do anythin…

'Twas up in the 70s and 80s, and a bit more sun than back here in blighty! Good spotting out in the States again... :D 3 Zeds in Key West- 1 white convertible, 2 black SWB. 1 in Miami- emerald green SWB. All seemed stock, except maybe the last one's paint job. Maybe it's just the volume of cars they have in the USA, but I've not seen a modded one yet. Loads of modded Hondas though, and usually ones you wouldn't want to mod anyway! :confused: Also saw 2 Z31s and about a billion 350Zs. Oh, and I saw ex-prez Bill "Cigar" Clinton. Methinks the world would be in better shape if he was still in charge...

what is the steering hydraulic oil pressure ?

I am looking into rebuilding my Turbos myself with a 360 rebuild kit - which I have found quite cheaply, but I am a bit concerned about the effects of NOT having the internals balanced (which I can't do at home) Has anyone rebuilt their own Turbos before?

Can you fit the Front brakes on the back? Going to get a Big Brake system for teh front.

I've been having the hicas/speedo problem for a while now ... ignition on, steering is fine, after a few minutes (time varies) of driving, the steering goes heavy and a short while later, the hicas light comes on. Lately, the speedo sometimes stays at 0, but this is not always the case and does not seem to correlate directly with the hicas prob. I have run a conzult on it and noticed the following: - steering angle was out by 240 degrees. Thought I had fixed this, but now its out again. Trouble is, conzult shows that it recognises the straight ahead position (the neutral indicator on conzult is enabled), but it reads 240 degrees right at that point. How ca…

Anyone know anywhere that will clean injectors and how much it will cost? Cheerz Mat

Was it you? Passed you a few times on my way to work in my S13 - I'll give you a flash next time ;)

Red 300zx on the A66 between blackwell grange and the big brick train, about lunchtime. Was it YOU!?

See thread "big Ends" for full story, but if I was to upgrade my standard T25's, what is the next stage, I am thinking the compressor and housing from T28 onto mine. And if this works what HP and do I need to do anything else. currently exhaust, Apexi, JWT chip and water injection soon. I am not looking at spending masses of money, just a bit of an upgrade while the eingine is out.

Guys, Needing an oil change....whats the best stuff for a UK 91 TT? Cheers, Dan :cool:

Hi, I have a noisy big end, (I think) just starting to get noisy actually. But it gets worse every time I start it almost. So, I want to catch it early before it does any serious damage. Question one, can you do them with the engine in the car? Its too dark to see at the mo. And Q2, is there anything funny about them, as in, are they just normal shells or are they all "matched" like some Mitsubishi's? Or can I just buy the right size and fit them? Thanks....

just wondering if the turbos are any more accessable with the plenium off as im changin mine for a polished one and thinkin about upgrading the tubs but dont want to pull the engine if i dont have to.
