Happy new year to you all. Had my ZX (unmodified auto uk car) for about a week and have a few questions as this is my first 300ZX. (1) I was advised at service that my drive belts are starting to crack. Cam belt was changed at 60k (97k on the clock now) Should I replace the belts now or will they be ok for a a few k or so? (2) What fog lights should the car have? I only have rear offside. Surely I should have more fog lights somewhere!? (3) Turbo noise.... yes I know this is an old chestnut. I would characterise the sound as a distant US style police siren as it rises in pitch. Always makes me check the mirrors lol :eek: Anything to worry about here? …

A Dark Grey 2+2 G321 ??? (didn't get the rest) about 8.30 this morning on Barkby Road, Leicester heading towards Barkby village. Just noticed you as I passed in the op. direction in my work vehicle (a Laguna).

Does anybody know if this compressor... http://www.diy-compressors.com/shop/direct-drive-compressors.htm#pp231 (The OL 231) should be able to power this wrench... http://www.justoffbase.co.uk/s.nl/sc.9/category.50/it.A/id.6694/.f I've got both and it just doesn't work! :confused: The wrench claims to consume 4cfm at 90psi. The compressor claims to supply 8cfm at 116psi.

Does the interior from a short wheel base fit a long wheel base and what other bit, e.g what panels are different apart from the petrol cap being in a different place, will the prop shaft fit a long wheel base? :confused:

After a long day on the telephone trying to get infomation on the above, it turns out that the system for doing this is called Vacuum Metallization. there are a few places that do this and i will be ringing them 2morow so will update as and when.

Im going to see 2 300zx`s on sat. One is uk the other is jap. I know all the advantages and disadvantages of both but not sure about the differences in parts. I know that most parts are the same but there must be some different parts that are a little harder to get hold of. Have owned a jap celica gt4, quite a few things were different. Mainly little things but had 2 wait an extra week or so on some things. Just as an example both cars are at the year when the cambelt should b done (not sure if they already have or not) would it be the same cambelt kit to buy from nissan? could some helpful people put some examples of when having an import has been an issue with parts or …

Thinking about a new car and have long been a fan of the 300zx twin turbo. What I'm wandering is a couple of things about performance. Being turbo and a 3 litre I imagine you can get a good bit of power out of some not too expensive mods. I would be getting an auto Jap import hopefully with some upgraded alloys and stereo and some minor engine mods. What kinda quarter mile times are modified 300zx's running with auto box. Could I expect to see 13.5 or is that asking too much. To get 350BHP ie 70 increase and say a fair increase in torue what kinda mods would I need? I have noticed some decent modified cars in Japan at auction, would anyone advise getting something already…

greed took over my better judgement when i got hold of this for £20. as you can see from the photo, the gasket leading to the MAF doesnt fit on the cone, no matter which way you rotate it. is there any kind of adapter which will help me out or have i learned my lesson?

It's probably been asked before, but I just cant be arsed to search this time (as it wont come up with what I want, even if I do :rolleyes: ) Can I just go into a motorbike shop and get the correct size front number plate made up to fit the 99 spec front bumper location? (if that makes sense?) Or is there more to it than that? TIA
