Saw a nice looking White Zed with multispoke alloyss at the top of Red road just outside Camberley today at about 5.15pm. Bubbles by any chance? Justin

If i wanted to have a sample of petrol tested for it's octane rating, anyone know how i'd go about it ?? cheers smithy

My current car... Honda DelSol .... that im getting rid of.... had an after market option to have a glass roof. I was wondering if anyone produces such a thing for the Targa 300's... either for the SWB or LWB..... And/Or if anyone makes "oem" replacements for the SWB/LWB... Anyone? :rolleyes: (I have a quick search of the forum, but couldn't find anything)

i am thinking of putting de-cats on my ztt, some people say not to some say will do no harm, only bad point i have heard is that i should get the rear seals on the turbos checked first, is this true, can any one help????? :

the warning light comes on when brake pedal is depressed,but all stop:tail light bulbs are ok :smash: what's the problem? :rolleyes:

I'm confused! It does not do it all the time, i can only hear it at slow speeds when wobble the steering wheel. I can't see anything making contact with the wheel, could it be the Wheel bearing even though it is not always there? :confused: :confused:

Some of you may know that on my way to and from the Midlands Meet on sunday my steering wheel was shaking gently from side to side at around 30mph but at 50+ the whole car felt like it was shaking apart and Ive never felt shaking so bad on the steering wheel felt like I was holding a bloody power tool :confused: no rude comments plesse this is a public forum :D well I was thinking something like shocks or the balancers had come off the wheel.. Id just like to tell anyone if they ever get symptoms like this do not drive your car stop and check your wheels by taking them off.. I took it to the wheel place thinking it would be something like above anyway ch…

Im lucky enough to have a mate who designs and sells t-shirts and have asked him to put forward a proposed design for a 300.zx.co.uk t-shirt for Japfest. But i need help with a suitable picture, preferably a front on pic of a zed, taken from a standing position to get the curves of the bonnet and arches in. Preferably a picture of a white, silver or yellow zed so its got more detail in the final pic. Anybody have one?

Hey Guys, Having a problem with my Ariel, seems to have a mind of it's own! Up and down as it pleases. Anybody know what colour of wire it is that i connect to my head unit to send the signal to the ariel to go up when the head unit is on? Cheers Paul

Hi again :) Just a quick question on the seatbelts in a jap import... Are they *supposed* to slacked off slightly while the engine is running? Both the driver and passanger seatbelts dont *pull* slightly while the engine is running in my car. They will retract, but slowly and with less force than say the belts in a Ford. When the engine is turned off tho, the belts tighten up again like normal. I'm not sure if its a design feature or some problem, but its a tad disconcerting! (if its by design, is there a wire that can be disconnected etc to stop it?) once again, thanks in advance for any help!

Im considering getting a Tracker for my Z and was wondering if anyone can advise one to me ?? I know RAC do one but are there any certain ones better over others??? :smash:

Hi All Don’t suppose any of you guys know where I can get my hands on a 99/00 Type R Z? Searched the net many of times and contacted lots of Importers but No joy! In fact I’ve never even seen one. I’ve got a sweet 91 TT which I’ve had for years now, was the car I always wanted! Just want one a bit newer now. ‘W’ reg would be nice!!! Test Drove a new 350 but wasn’t impressed to be honest, and there ain’t nothing else I really fancy. Do I really have to go to Japan and steel one? Any Idea of what one of these illusive breeds would cost? Thanks, Andy

Evening All Just a quickie, where is the best place to plumb in the boost signal line for my Profec B? Preferably on the left side somewhere as that's where it's going through the bulkhead. Also, is it ok to 'T' off this hose inside the car for a boost gauge? I figured a leak anywhere in these lines would be bad news as far as controlling the boost goes, so I want to keep the number of junctions to a minimum in the pipes. Is this good 'boost housekeeping'? :)

Seen you on the A46 about 3:30ish yesterday. I did try and say hello, but you were going far to fast for me to try and catch up with you :D

bit of strange question but i need to knw the weight of my boot lit on my z32 300zx, in pounds if any one knows this would be a big help, many thanks : confused :

Anyone used one of these - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10402&item=4520690270&rd=1 My Zed is still restricted and TBH I have no intention of de-restricting it, so am I right in thinking that one of these dials would do the job for me?? If so how easy would it be to change the dial??

i have recently purchased a conzult and whilst my z32 is in the shop for its ice install, i have been given a loan car of a 200sx. i want to plug it into it just to try it out but cant find the conzult port anywhere under the driver side or fusebox area , can anyone enlighten me as to where it is , the 200sx is an early model, 91 :duffer:

Bit of a long story this one... Was driving along and had a major overheating problem along with the battery light coming on, figured it was a nackered water pump and possibly thrown the alternator/waterpump belt. Replaced the pump and all the belts but when I was doing this I noticed that I was missing the woodruff key on the crank/underdrive pulley and the the pulley had come loose. There was also a chunk taken out of the crank at the side of the slot where they key fits in. I put everything back together as it should be and it all seemed fine, for about five minutes :( exactly the same problem again, the pulley had broken loose from the crank. :headvsw…

Hi all. This is my first post, just wanted to say it's great finding a forum which is about the 300ZX!:) Right. I've managed to get a few quotes on a 300ZX twin turbo. They're expensive quotes, but I'd imagine it's worth it. I'd like to know your thoughts on the car, what you think of it, e.t.c. Also, is there anything to look out for when buying one? The time for me to buy one will be in June, and so far I've seen what look like immaculate examples with low mileage (imports I would imagine), on 1990, 1991 plates, for about £5000. Are these good buys? Or is it worth saving up a bit more? Any other advice would be great!:) Thanks guys Chr…

I have had a rather dead zed for the past week, wouldn't fire but was turning over o.k. I found out this evening that there was a fuse/relay (not sure which) blown in the small box under the bonnet on the drivers side (has about 6 fuses in it), which controlled the fuel pump. No fuel pump - no fuel - no car start, at last! :dance: I swapped out one of the other fuses from the same box (the one for the electric seat as it was the same rating) and the car started - then promptly died. The fuse I had put into the fuel pump socket had also blown now. :mad: So now I know why the car wouldn't start, but does anyone have any idea where I start looking for the caus…

Ok, i've pretty much finished putting all the bits and bobs back on my car now, new water pump seems to work fine, but a bit of a prob with the fan.. at revs more than about 1500-2000 the fan seems to wobble, under a spot light its clearly visible, the blades seem to flex and then rub on the alternator belt!!! not good! any ideas? I have made sure all the bolts on the fan clutch and the waterpump pulley are nice and tight, but still no joy, im stuck!! Thanks in advance Dave

I don't drive my Zed often these days (weekend car) and I'm on my third battery in as many years! Just wondered what the possible causes of battery discharge may be. If I jump start and drive the car, it will happily charge the battery and subequently starts ok. After a day or so in the garage however, it's flat again :( Car has a recently fitted Toad i606 Alarm and average ICE setup. Is there anything I can test for/eliminate from the possible suspects? CheerZ Steve :)

Well just to continue my run of bad luck the battery died on me this mornin only left me lights on for a min while i pumped my flat tyre up (great start to the day ) i got a new un today the only thing is its slightly larger than the jap one was and the pillars are on the wrong side meaning ive had to stretch the leads more than i wanted and come mot time ill have relocate the alarm siren so i can bodge a way of mounting it securly anyone else had this problem or have i got the wrong un.Are jap n uk batterys the same tnx :)
