Hi, just got a 91 300zx friday night 8 pm, crashed saturday 7 pm... not bad going by all accounts specially when the telegraph pole went down.... However need a silver front drivers wing in mint condition... anyone got any ideas for cheap ones. Also need door brackets and a good set of fog lamps and a seat belt pulley thing, whole seat belt will be fine, but need the puller bit... not too technical im afriad so apologies on the descriptions.. Also need some advise on where to get some nice alloys for a silver z, 18 inch?? Thanks Sean

If I put the car on cruise control after about 20 mins the light starts flashing, it is a series two car BTW, does have any significance or does it indicate a fault?

lovely looking yellow z gliding up the A1M top off windows up :)

Outside "Destination" next to Central Station (about 11 ish!?!). I think the passenger heard me exclaming "300ZX" just before driver floored it off the lights! Sounded superb!!! :dance: :cool: Rich

Who's owns "CharlesR"'s car now???? Its parked behind my zed outside my house. Just wondiering if he/she's a member of the site or if anyone knows who he sold it to. (before he bu**ered off to NZ). Mines red with stupid silver flames. The other zed everyone should be familiar with the appearance.

Spotted a red Zed heading towards Asda Fulwood today at around 4pm along Eastway in Duffland!! Anyone know who?

Been round at John's today to install the first Tech Edge Wideband O2 sensor he's put together in my car (slaved over more like! Cheers mate, I can't thank you enough for all you've done today...drinks are on me at the gig bud ;)) After testing, the unit seems to working ok, but as yet it isn't operational...the remaining work will be done in the near future. Here are a few photos we took during the course of the afternoon...suffice to say we got a little carried away with the installation! Lol! :D See what you guys think.....;) This was the console as it started out today. KnockLink was installed almost 2 weeks ago. [/img] The main unit and display ex…

I'm looking for a chrome half-roll cage, primarily for show, but also to anchor my harnesses to - any pointers?

I've just ordered myself a nice pair of Cobra Suzukas in red leather for my Z (2 seater SWB with seatbelt anchorages on the doors) - any tips about where I can mount the harnesses to?

As title, spotted near Chunks house as I was on my way back home. Just off one of them little piddly islands that litter the main road there, I flashed him/her ;) and got a 'horn' back and I gave them my thumbs up!! ;) I have a sneaky suspicion that it was 'gworilla' but I'm not sure...the back end gave it away as it went under the exhaust... :) Matty.

Any takers on a red Z whizzing up the M40 today (Sat 19) heading north around 5-30 probably 10 mins after Banbury? Dont suppose you saw me waving from the back of the Goldline coach on the way back from the Motor Show :( Only one me spotted though- nice to see we have rare motas :dance:

Got a sligh belt sqeal from Cerina car a few day ago. I had a chance to look at it this morning to tighten the tensioners. I found the top bolt to the alternator was pretty much all the way out and the alternator is not misaligned so it doesn't go back in. I've stripped out the rad, fan and taken the belt off, but it just doesn't seem to want to line up with the hole anymore. The adjuster screw is loose and the alternator does move but I can not seem to get the bolt to line up. Do you think I need to take the alternator off completely or am I missing something ?

I MAY have broken my clocks :xxx: If I stick some UK clocks in a Jap Zed will the speedo be automatically correct? i.e do Jap and UK cars use the same pulse and therefore is it the clocks themselves that convert that pulse to kph or mph? If the answer is no, has anyone got any Jap clocks they want to sell?? Cheers Rich

That got ya attention.... :tongue: Anyway, my car is still fooked. Anybody got a Petrol Can and a Zippo for sale....?? I'm willing to pay only £5 for the items above, cuz thats all the car is worth... Here's the problem: * Its badly missfiring * Due to the misfire it idles like a bitch (to a stall) * Sounds smoother when i rev to 3000+ Here's what i have checked: * Its sparking ok on all cylinders * Checked for vacuum leaks * No Dodgy wires * PTU is perfect (swapped with Cos's, no change). * Put me Cunzult on the car, all sensors are ok. All Solenoids Click Ok too. * Added new Denso Iridium Spark Plugs Too So the…

Yep - another question. Could some one give me a price on what I should be paying for a ECU chip please? I hear that Mr Dixon sells them? Ta! Dave

Hi guys, What the difference between jap and uk boost levels? I'm thinking that the Jap spec runs 9psi and the UK 14? Is that correct? So in theory is it ok for a Jap 300 to run 14psi without further modifications? Ta Dave

how wide can u sensibly go with wheels on stock arches? i was thinkin 8.5 at front and 10 at th back

Dark Grey Z with vented Headlight panel on the A419 southbound nr Cirencester. Around 6:20pm today (Friday 28th) I was in me S plate 200sx 14a on the northbound side & gave you a wee flash :D

Turbo's -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can anybody tell me what turbo's a 89 jap import should have on as standard. Had car over the pit today and the only ID I can see on them is Garrett 189. No other numbers are visable. Are these the standard turbo's or have they been changed ? Regards Kevin

Hi all, I've recently bought a Zed, and it arrived into the country in December. Since I picked it up I've became an bit of a Zed Head. Its a 1991 2+2 NA Auto with Leather etc. in yellow pearl with 63k on the clock. It was totally standard but had a few parking scuffs and dings here and there so I got my hands dirty and treated it to a little work.. As I mentioned everything was standard when I got it, and I'm not overly concerned about all out performance (or I would have suffered the extra insurance and got the turbo :) ) but I have been thinking about doing a few mods so I hope you guys can help. Firstly, what difference can I expect if I remove th…

Just chasing a Lexus IS200 Sport along a twisty road on way back from Alton Towers yestaerday - every time I hit a bump in the road or a stone the back end came out to the left by about 20 degrees - scaring the bejeezus out of me (nearly put it into a wall as well!) Last time my car was looked at (apart from my front tension rods being fooked) I was told the Hicas arms were fooked as well. Do these sound like the symptoms?

I've never had an auto before. My mate just bought one too (but his is a Mitsubishi Sigma :rofl: ). When you're at traffic lights, stopped, is it ok to just hold it on the brake or should you put it in neutral or park? I don't want to burn the clutch out or anything. Thanks chaps. :hyper: :hyper:

I know its not a 300 but my missus has a 200sx. I have drove it to work today whilst mine is back at bodyshop and its gutless. It used to be pretty quick, I dont know what happened but its got lots of flat spots throught the lower rev range now. Is there a diag test like on the 300 I can run? Any ideas where to start troubleshooting - I though plugs - but I thought they would break down at higher revs? Thanks
