Hi all, Have just been looking at the timing belt service kit on the coutesy site. http://www.courtesyparts.com/z32/z32-tbkita1.html Have noticed the cam bely tensioner makes up a huge amount of the overall cost. Is it really vital to replace this? Also I have noticed that they offer a couple of other pulleys as an option. I will be adding an underdrive pulley anyway but any opinions on the other pulleys they are selling? Many thanks, Justin.

Was driving around today and started to get a clunking noise from the passenger side suspention. Jacked up the car and found that an arm with a joint on it looked like it was broken. Here are some pics to help, can anyone tell me the name of these parts and where to get them and how much of a sod they are going to be to replace, will be doing both sides. Many thanks.

Anyone know if these will fit a Z, and what standard size flavours there are?

Sorry about this, but could someone move this to the 'For Sale' section for me please? Thanks Anyway... For Sale - 1994 300ZX TT Auto Import, dark metallic blue paint, black leather interior, recent cam belt service, can arrange for regular service before sale. MOT until May 05, 84000 miles. All the usual (T Top, all electrics etc). Has a Cat 1 alarm & a Tracker. It also hast two huge fat oval stainless steel exhausts which I got in 2002. Was thinking somewhere in the region of £6750 ono. Right, here's what's wrong with it: the leather in the front is a little cracked, and the drivers lumbar support is scuffed, and the fog light at the back is slightly…

I dont think my auto box oil pan has a plug to undo to drain the fluid, short of undoing about 18 bolts I was thinking of flushing it by using the pipes that feed the oil cooler and fitting a tap to let me run the engine and flush new into it while letting the old drain out.....Does it sound feasible or is it likely to be to difficult to juggle the new oil into the system before it all drain out! Any comments appreciated.

Not sure if any of the traders do them? MJP maybe? Or direct to Nissan? We all know these clog up and cause a bad/low reading, I would just be happier to get a new one in! Is it buy a new one or clean old? Any kind person have a part number?

anyone know a good place to get some BOV's and the fitting kit, Not looking to pay too much.

i have a 85 300zx na and the parker lights turn on by themselves. the dash also flashes off then beck on when i use the blinkers. are these problems related and does anyone know how easy/hard it is too fix. thanks bobchic

I bought a Z this summer. (95 2 seaters N/A) :D some problems occur at relatively high speed 120km/h, lol, (especially when accelerate) the car start vibrating. I think its the propeller shaft, but im not sure... can it be something else? cause i dont want to buy a whole new propeller shaft assembly, to figure out it was something else... i hope u understand what i just wrote, my english sux, i know. merci d'avance

Hi, i have had my non turbo now for about 6 months and love it apart form the fact that i have got used to the power and want more. I have a straight through decatted exhaust with an apexi air induction kit. What else can i do to gain more responsiveness or out right power. I cannot upgrade to twin turbo (missus would kill me). Silly question - is it feasable to fit turbos to these or are there too many factors to consider as well as price - i know there is no superchip for non turbo but is there an ecu upgrade. All advice much appreciated

Anyone know anywhere that does fancy reg plates. Preferably one with a zed logo at the side. Cheers Scott

Just noticed I have a leak just above the drivers side subframe mounting - water is pissing out a couple of drops per second at idle. What can I do? Looks like maybe a connection at the bottom of the rad? Can't get my hand i there - can I take the rad out? Supposed to be running at the Pod on Friday & Saturday I can't believe my luck :(

Gearbox on a mates zed is making a grinding noise, initially under load in second, then 4th joined the party and now third is starting, is it a new box scenario or is there another possible cause?

Any of you local guys know a good sprayer in the area? :confused: The guy I used to use has closed up and moved out the area. Really want the car resprayed, spoiler fitted, etc. Any ideas???? :hyper:

When I start my Z first thing of a morning, it feels like the power steering is very heavy. If I switch off the ignition and re-start it is fine. There are no warning lights and the PAS fluid looks full. Any ideas? Cheerz Dave

Saw Black Z parked in Ryde, on Isle of White. Looked quite sweet

Does anyone know which spoiler is the car in attached picture? (picture blagged from AndyP's site). I think the car is a '99 JDM car so guess its a genuine Nissan one. Anyone know if its available? How much? got any other pics from different angles? Cheers David

Noticed these, seemed quite cheap. Don't know what they normally go for. Not for me, just thought someone else might be interested. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=72254&item=7913679338&rd=1

Should i get the Scarab front spoiler or a new 99 spec? :confused:

Gah searching the forum I had no joy! Does anyone have a link to that web page that lists what rating your area has for car insurance by postcode? Cheers

I think my fuel pump has gone as i got metal fragments in a sample of fuel i drained from the inlet end of the fuel filter? And the car only idles and doesnt have any power? Anyone else had the change there fuel pump on a Zed before and What was your symptoms??? :mac1:

Does angone have any pictures of the back of the speedo which shows the calibration pots and which one does what - I need to adjust mine but I'm not touching it unless I know which one does what! Thanks in advance.

What do you recomend for cleaning electrical connections on our Zeds???? The main item I'm bothered about at the mo, is my PTU connections. I've scrapped the green scum off the PTU itself, but cant seem to get at the plug connections.................. So is there some sort of spray cleaner that will do the job for me?................ Obviously the best option is to fit a series two PTU complete with harness, and re-locate it.............. but that might come later. :D TIA :bow:

I mite be stupid asking this question but can the zed be converted to a big single turbo for example like the RX7? Thanks Hanksy
