Went to view a Zed today, 90 Import TT, and one strange thing I noticed was that it had Chrome/Metal trim around the front windscreen, instead of black rubber like I see in all pictures I view. Was this some sort of option, or is something missing from the trim ? Rest of the cars window/targa trim was black.

Hi Guys I am trying to work out seat model changes with Luke at the Z Centre. The series 2 leather seat I am trying to retrim has 3 base sections as illustrated in picture B (red bit). Can anyone check their Series 1 leather (1989 - 1991) and see if it has 2 base sections as illustrated in picture A or 3 bases sections the same as picture B. Thanks to Dave (dave_new_ZX) for the original drawing. Cheers Martin

After fitting my HID kit both the horizontal and vertical beam alignment needs adjusting but I'm not entirley sure where the adjuster screws are! Would someone mind posting a photo with them circled for the hard of thinking like me? :o :) Cheers, Leigh.

I was on a test drive of a Black/Purple Import (Black pearl respray with extra purple tint), passed you going the other way.

was checking out all my fuses after the auto box has started playing and i found under the drivers side dash three grey boxes rip tied to the steering colom! On them are written "Computer Start" and have a shite load of wiring comming off from them! Does anyone know what the hell all this is, all the writing is in Jap so no clues there!

Hi, I want to rebuild a T25 turbo, anyone know where to get the bearings and seals? Thanks

Any of you guys help me with an easy to read wiring diagram to wire up a head unit. Have found 3 plugs behind the dash, anybody able to identify them? Also, is it possible to get a harness converter from autoleads or halfords or the like. Thanks Martin

Bloody auto has lost 3rd and 4th on the way home form work today. First and second are fine but just wont change up after that. Auto oil is nice and clear so no burning. Done a search and a few ideas but no results. Anyone had the same and found a cure? MR DUFF ECT. OVER TO YOU!

Came out of work and followed a Silver zed down towards Tysley. Your exhaust sounded good!

Does anyone know of anwhere near Leicester that can supply and fit me some new turbos for my Z? :cry: Cheers

yellow zed near Billing aquadrome today at about 10:45ish Any-one?

Dont want to start a tecnical war on whether the manual is right or wrong, but i just need some good old fashioned 300zx.co.uk help!! Ever since fitting a new rad ive developed all sorts of leaks, my guess is that now the system is up to full pressure its blowing all the weak hoses. My water hoses at the very back of the engine leak a little when running then gush about half a litre of coolant out about one min after i shut the engine off when its hot. I know the passenger side turbo coolant hose is leaking, which has been replaced but is still not a very easy job to tighten even with my small hands. So can i safely bypass these hoses from the top end behin…

Hullo, Bit of an odd problem cropped up today, pretty major hesitation when pulling away (auto) car almost stalls!!! and at the same time noticed what appears to be a boost leak! (dont think it's safety boost). Had a quick sniff around the engine bay and found a very ropey pipe (end shown in the pic attaches to the throttle body) Im pretty certain this is the boost leak culprit, god knows how it held any pressure before!! Question is, could the hesitation be caused by the same problem or do I have another bug to work out??? (did find this thread, could it be the PCV valves? do they fail all of a sudden?) http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthr…

i found a note under the wiper informing me that they had witnessed another car driving into my front offside bumper (whilst my zed was parked up) and would be prepared to be a witness for any claim lodged...now what i wanted to ask is what is behind/under this section...my local mech will put it up on the ramps next week so any pointers/thoughts would be handy the bumper is marked up but no cracks apparent...90 jap tt auto stock cheers in advance

i'm finally about to fit the autobox cooler i got from the group buy a couple of months ago. does anyone know the correct length of hose i need to get. have dun a quick search but cant find it. just being lazy really, should just get down there and look. :) cheers nick
