Can anyone tell me the part number of this bit of pipe (scuse the not very clear pic but it's the best I could, only one I could find TBH!!) I need one sooner rather than later!! Cheers, Matty.

Hi Guys I have a secondhand rad for my zed to fit but it hasnt got the ali strip on top?? is the strip to fix it in and do i need it?? :) Kirbz

Can I plug the harness from the alternator on the new UK manual engine straight in to my Jap auto Z? Or do I have to change the harness or alternator?

Morning, :) How much power can the Zed manual box actually take? I could go trawling the yank sites but can't be bothered but I'm sure some of you lot have done some research haven't you. :) Cheers, Jezz.

of you have fitted new pvc? and how many thought there turbos had gone? and didnt need turbos after all? steve

Iv sent you PMs and iv tried to get hold of you for the past few days without anyluck! Dont know whats going on but if you can try and get hold of me as i need to know whats going on with the car as the sprayers have rang me twice today wanting a answer for when they will get the car, its getting hard for me now to make excuses as im running out on what to say to them! Just let me know whats going on mate Fas :confused:

She is running kinda not well. Took out the plugs and its NGK BCP6ES that is in her. Previous owner, not me !!

I believe you had your gearbox rebuilt. Any chance you can tell me who buy and what the cost was please. Looks like I need mine doing :cry:

I've fitted air-fuel ratio meter on pin 55 on ECU. Meter read 'max lean', when driving this stayed the same, when engine off and ignition on, it stayed the same. Then fitted to pin 29 and this read 'max rich', but when engine off with ignition on, this read 'optimum'. Car has been chipped. Any ideas??? Cheers

Here's the problem: So i took the Plenum off.....: Then i took the rocker covers off: Jeff (zworld) told me to check for gaps between the lifters and the cams, checked out fine, so now its decision time, what should i do next? Anything too look for? Or should i jusy get a new engine from Jeff? :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I lost the Zed after work tonight at a roundabout :rolleyes: . I had only just picked it up from the garage, after a week for MOT and some other work, as well :( . I tried putting more gas on to drift out of the spin but there was no chance. The car spun 180 degrees and hit the inside curb. It sounded really bad :cry: . Thankfully, it was driveable at low speeds- though a little wobbly :( . I've never driven so slow before in the zed... :cry: . On closer inspection, there is buckling to the rear nearside lower arm. I want to replace this but need to know if the Jap lower arm is the same as the UK. Does anyone know? Duffman??? :) Thanks in advance…

Anyone have any ideas to as what could be the cause?? front lights work so do the brake lights... ive checked for fuse's etc but no joy. also the warning buzz that tells you that your lights are on when the door is open doesnt seem to work either...so obviously im assuming its related.... cheers jaz

Looked like it had a http://www.300zx.co.uk sticker in the rear window!

I was in the red import in the inside lane as you went past in the outside. Sadly I was paying very little attention to what was going on around me and only noticed you once you'd gone past. :slap:

i want to have a go at fitting new turbos myself well i suspect my mate will lend a big hand now he had a quick look , he recons it can be done from under the car and the engine dosent need to come out,is this right any thoughts on this. what sort of time should this sort of job take? steve

Anyone know anything about these? I have one that came with the car and it's not turning the engine off anymore. :( I've tried searching for them on the net to no avail, though a lot of people seem to have them. Cheers, Ian.

This Zed ownership thing is becomming a bit of a bu66er. Now, after spending thousands, I need a gearbox rebuild as my second synchro is apparently bu66ered. Does anyone know of a good place to take it to have the job done. I live in Reading, (I know, but someone has to!!) so the clsoer the better. Definately losing heart in it now but it's gotta be fixed. Any ideas would be great. Cheers. :cry:

Right then all, i have fitted my Blitz boost controller all but the connections under the bonnet. I just cant work out what pipes to connect and what not to. I fitted this to my 200sx in around an hour but this dam complicated z is annoying me. Any volenters to come finish it off? £50 cash waiting. Oh i live in Gloucester by the way

As I haven't got Paint Shop Pro, only the bloody imaging software that comes with Windows, what's the best way to re-size say a large JPG picture? Cheers :confused: :confused:

Me was just putting my foot down heading down slip road onto M4 when saw you coming over roundabout from Taplow end. Who was that sleek looking red zed taking in the sights of Slough?? :hyper:

I have to change my set of Toyo Proxes T1-s - unfortunately they're all worn down with a big nail in one. They've been on 1 year but with big BHP etc. and some fast road driving they're going and need replacing for the MOT next week. I have looked at mytyres.co.uk but my local Kwik-fit which I use alot can do me a set of Pirelli P7000 (directionals) for £700 all in. Front 265/30/19, rear 235/35/19. Think it compares well price wise. Toyos on "mytyres" came out around £650 but then the fitters charge about £50 for the fitting, plus the order can take over a week which I don't have time for. I think the Toyos may be slightly better than the P7000 but I think…

Can anyone one recommend the best set of lowering springs with the best price?

Right, this prob has been going on for a while now. At slow speed all seems well, round town etc. On the motorway everything is ok, untill I put my foot down. Then it coughs, splutters and generally doesnt seem to want to do much, sounding very rough at the same time. Now this doesnt happen all the time, sometimes it will do this, sometimes it'll work properly, sometimes it'll do a little of both :confused: Also if I keep my foot to the floor, it will build up slowly, but then the cat overheat light will come on. If I gently build up the preasure on the peddle, then I dont seem to have a problem :confused: It was put on tony's ConZult at the last midlands mee…

My ones are pretty badly correded and stuck together with electrical tape. Where can i get new ones? Preferably in the uk. Cheers
