Nice looking car, whoever you are

Anyone know anything about these? Dodgy chip?

Hi all. Looks like my auto box maybe knackered. Anyone how much it would cost to replace? would also like to know a rough figure for a manual conversion if anyone knows?? It's an N/A import if that makes any difference. Cheers

Saw u as I was crossing road today at pedestrian lights, side skirts, 17" split rims black in the middle. Front cream bumper a little discoloured :) and what looked like HKS Drager style zorst. Woman driving, bloke passenger

Big time help req'd, My old starter motor broke the other day, so I got another second hand one, had it fitted but the car still doesn't start up. it makes a noise but not starting. The odd thing is that I can't even push start the car anymore......why?

Hello all, Does anyone know where i can get hold of these as i am having no luck at the mo and need them pretty urgent. Thanks all Ant :)

Forget this - just done a search - should do that more often. :rolleyes:

From the Zed centre. How good are they and how easy are they to fit?

Where is the best (cheapest place) to get hold of a new water pump?

i had a mobile number for a zed mech called Martin who lives near Horsham/Crawley and from previous threads did some work for members...does anyone know if he has changed it or moved away...or gone on hols like a sensible person would...? cheers

My Jap rad ( in a NA) has gone west, top hose conn. snapped of, ouch ( on M5 ). On top of that the AA managed to damage wing on recovery! Andy can get me a UK Rad plus sep. auto box cooler, but is this an easy straight swap and adapt or are there any pitfalls. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks guys

Have you guys found a decent price on a hard pipe kit? If so, where did you find it? I'd like to replace those boost hoses with those nice shiny pipes! Thanks, Marty :cool:

How do I know if I already have a grounding kit on my car ? Its a recent import and Ive got lots of black wires coming off my battery with 'battery booster' written on them. They travel around the engine bay and I have a suspicion its a grounding kit. Can anybody give me further info on how to tell ??

Help! I just tried to get into my Z and it wont let me in!!! I pressed the button on the alarm fob and nothings happening, and yes, the fob battery is ok, and is lighting up when the buttons pressed. I hav'nt pressed the wrong button, and the button on the side of the fob is in the correct position. Any idea fellas? :confused: :confused:

wheres the best site to get cheep tyres from and also after the consol at billing need two o2 sensors

Hi, I am not well up on exhausts (as you can tell from this thread..) Car sounded strange today looked underneath and I have a hole in the pipe just before it joins the silencer - the other side looks like its about to go too.. How many sections are there to the 300zx 2? Down pipes & rear silencer? How much do the rear standard nissan sections cost roughly? I was looking at a stainless steel exahust (£120 + £330 for mongoose) which is a bit more than I can afford. Are there any others cheaper (skin-flint alert! :p ) that are any good?? Can I just add a stainless steel rear exhaust system to a standard set of front pipes without any problems? …

so I can check if everything is ok before doing upgrades ? please ? :duffer:

Do i need to change my ecu to fit a boost controler?or is the ecu ok to take 1 bar? Any help appreciated. :confused:

Hi, I currently own a 200sx, but am looking to get a 300zx can anyone give any advise on what to look for, and wether a manual or automatic would be better etc etc.

Heading North on M1 on Sunday i was the fella in the black SWB. Nice to see three zeds filling the M1. Also driving up M1 later on along side red G reg for a fair distance, after pulling out of service station at same time. Who are ya?

Noticed a silver Zed on a F plate Z on Saturday in the 300zx plot, it had side skirts and Mania Pacific wheels, anyone got pics of it, or who knows who it is? These wheels are on my short list. Barry.

fitted an apexi powerflow kit at billing at the weekend thanks stev-o for the help getting that arc shopping trolly air filter out :eek: 2 things how come i dont get any nice chattering or whooshing sounds,sad i know!the apexi doesent sit directly infront of the mesh on the front bumper. So i take it maximum airflow doesent get through the apexi! Also do you get any benefit from fitting extra pipes from the bumper to the cone gueesing even more colder air will pass through the filter thanks for any advice greg :bow:

On offer to anyone in the area that wants to use it. However if there is anyone in the area that know how to use it I would welcome a lesson. I have had a look and even with the instructions and a service manual I'm not sure what I'm doing. I have a problem at the moment and if I can identify what it is I can get it done at the same time as the cambelt service that is due. Cheers, David.

As above, wondering if I could fit 4x standard wheels and tyres in the car? Barry.

Bought a brake cylinder bracket from Billing from DTA. Problem is that i never got any instructions or asked anyone how to fit it :o Before i moved or did anything would check with you guys first. ;)
