Hi all, I need some help compiling a list of all 300zx (z32 only) types that were produced, uk and jap only. So far, I have TT LWB TT SWB NA (both wheelbases?) Convertible (NA or TT / Both?) Slicktop (again, na/tt/both?) and any other variations? it's important i have a correct list :) thanks Adam

Hi The older Greddy B Spec has a different display unit to the newer Spec 2. Is it true the older unit does not have an inbuilt boost gauge and needs to be calibrated against a separate gauge? On the other hand I assume the newer unit has an accurate boost guage built in? I think the solenoid units differ too. Any1 got either of these or experience with them and can help? (Don't embarass me by saying it's in the FAQ) Cheers

whats the best headlight bulbs to uprate to? am fed up with the crap stock lights!! and cant afford a HID upgrade as yet!!! anyone

Anyone know the above ? I seen it written on here somewhere, but cant find it in a search now. (want to check my speedo accuracy with it)

just serviced my zed usual stuff and cleaned up a few more connectors ptu tps cas iav and changed the pcv valves wow what a difference she flies now. spools up quicker starts better much more responsive on the throttle dont like how much the plugs cost though my wallet screamed ouch very loudly but it was well worth it. silkolene oil aint cheap either but its done now could have serviced my cav tubbie 3 times over including a cam belt for what i spent on the zed :p

when my zed is cold it starts fine drives fine untill i get to about 40ish mph then it judders like mad i can feel it through the seat not through the steering wheel as you would if my tracking or balancing was out (i have checked them they are fine) after about 10 mins of driving when it warms up a bit every thing is fine the judder is no longer there. wheel bearings are fine as well. tyre pressure is fine. i cant think of what it could be as i am not technically minded enough to take it all a part and find the fault. :bow:

:confused: In need of 2, 235/35/19s anyone know of any good deals or who is best to contact.Cheers John.

sorry lads, meant to put my last thread in the discussion part, sorry to be a pain !!!!

picked up my first zed on wednesday, and I have got to say I am really pleased I didnt get the TT (yet) they should come out of the factory with crash mats on the side of them !! only been in it three times and the back end went every time, have to be very carefull in the wet I think, never had a car with an engine that sounds like this. wot a fantastic sound, and to think I nearly bought an MR2 !! the best part though, is that nobody knows what the **** it is !! they just stare anyway, unfortunatley the car has to go back to the garage as it haas got a nasty vibration when you hit 40 mph and the whole car shakes till well over a ton, any Ideas anyone? it had a shudd…

My car sometimes starts to idle at about 1500 - 2000 rpm, but then on some days goes back to normal. It was fine for a few weeks after a mate of mine messed about with the TPS, could this be the problem? if so I want one where and how much? CheerZ

got some clocks from the scrappy for a tenner :p and tried fitting them earlier, the two smaller plugs on the right hand side were a different size though. is this common with all jap-to-uk conversions? if so do i need to rewire with new plugs or is there an adapter available? cheers kenny

I have replaced my headunit with a new high end Kenwood Unit. Only just found out why my speakers are now not working with it. i.e. they are 4 Bose units with built in Amps. From what I have read it seems best to replace them. I know nothing about speakers. I simply want some good replacement ones, not trying to blow the doors off! Maybe spend up to £100. This is for a 1994 Mk4 Twin Turbo, with two door speakers and two rear boot speakers. Can anyone tell me what sizes I need for front and back and what they would recommend in terms of specification and/or specific models and best place to get them from? Thanks................

I ve done some checking on the electrical parts of my car and it seems that a have a bad relay only thing i dont know what is there. Is on the left side of the car in the back seat behind the safaty belt panel. I think is either the fuel pumb controller or some kind of an amplifier. Anyone knows what it is?

does anyone know the measurements for the fuel hose to the pressure regulator i need to buy some on the way home from work and haven't the time to find it thanks

Guys, I ordered some car stuff (from a domestic company, not foreign) which was going to be delivered by City Link on the 1st December but I have received nothing to date. I contacted the company (I'd ordered from) and they said that i have been delivered the parcel and some body has signed for it (but the signatory's name is different to anybody's name at my house). They provided me with City Link's phone number to contact them regarding my parcel. I have also checked with my neighbours and they haven't received anything for me either. I have been foning city link since yesterday but they couldn't get in touch with the driver and when i foned them today, t…

Hi all, after speaking to a few members at the last meet at northamton about a dyno day just throught id see about what sort numbers would be up for trying their Zed's on a dyno. i have spoke to a local company called SUPERCHIPS, where i used to work who are up for it about febuary time. its a rolling road dyno, so drive on strap it down and off you go, prices are somewhere around £30 to £50 per run but thats to be confirmed. What do you think ???

Yesterday, Thursday 2nd December. "Delightfully tacky, yet unrefined !" ;)

Hiya, I've been thinking of getting a 300 for a wee while now, have driven several and have been impressed, but I know very little about them. This looks like a good place to start! I've had a string of e36 BMs, currently driving a 328 coupe, and i need a car that serves a purpose as a bit of a toy. I would probably be driving the car at weekends, and abandoning it most of the week, so 10,000miles a year is the absolute max I'll be doing, and probably closer to 5k. Here is the crux, how good is a 300ZX gonna be as a car that's used when it's required? I don't have the patience to come to use the car to find it's full of water, not starting or anything …

Anyone here got any sensible views on water injection. There is a 300 in some online mag running 14psi without any chip upgrade and its supposed to be very good. No Detting. Thanks
