There's a hole above the inertia reel for a screw/bolt which I don't have. What sort of screw/bolt goes in there? Thanks, Mooch

Need to do a small weld on the Z before the MOT. Should you always disconnect the battery or does it not matter?

Hi guys, Could anyone tell me how and where I get to the starter motor with the Z jacked up please, Cheers Me

How do all? I've just got my hands on a brand new 6-Disc in dash CD Changer from my favourite cousin who used to work for a nissan main dealer. It's normal stereo size and would look cock-on in my dash below a cass/cd tuner. The problem i have is that i don't know what stereo will run it. I'm told that any stereo after 1995 fitted in a nissan will opperate it. Has anyone got one of these fitted in there's???? Model No. PN- 2302M/CE008

still having problem with my power steering .. im still leaking fluid .. had my mechanic check it and he diagnosed it had me ordered wrong hose.. had him check it again and found it was the high pressure hose.. he said it goes from the pump to the from steering rack . i went back to courtesy ordered it bam wrong hose again .. . My question is there a differnce between left hand drive and right hand drive in regards to the pressure hoses for the steerring pump?? im running out of options .plus courtesy is getting tired of me. and theyre the last people i need upset at me.... thanks..

:confused: Need your help again pls !! Fitting a new stereo today. Does anyone know if there's an adaptor for the aerial? if so, where can i get one?? or do i have to strip the wire back and fit a new connector?

Does anyone know the cost of the auto tensioner from Nissan, would it still be cheaper to get it from courtesy after tax and postage? Is there any where else i can get one?

Looking very nice !! In Torquay at 17:30 tuesday night

My ABS has never worked since i bought my 300ZX. Where should i start to look?

Boost gauge has never worked on my zed. Any ideas where to look and what to check first? Any help much appreciated AL

hi all, As most of you know the Zed got written off. The insurance company, phoned this morning to tell me in checked with the DVLA and he says it an import so only going to give me £3700. Thats *****cks, as my car is a UK model with full service history from the dealership to begin with. It has the standard bigger wheels on the back, front and back UK bumpers. The cars even the UK models were made in Japan, so of course when they come over here they are coming from another country (import). Perhaps the first owner went to japan and got it, I do not know. Is there any other difference's between Jap Import and UK, as I need to tell this engineer from…

Anybody know what happened to Darren from Nissan main dealership in Strood Kent, was told he set up his own business. I believe he was a big cheese in one of the ZX clubs in Kent Plus if you know anybody who can work on Z's in the Canterbury - Dover area pls let me know Thanks Mike mail@michaelgodwin.com

Was just wondering something. I have come into owning a copy of the Nissan Fast parts catalogue. Which is pants :xxx: . I was wondering if anyone had the Courtesy CD ROM and if it was better/different. It certainly looks better and easier to use judging by their site. Ivan

Something that ive been meaning to ask since i bought my zed but i could never be arsed.. Should the spare wheel fit snug and level in the bit in the boot? Mine is too big and only fits in a bit, leaving a big buldge (ooooooerr) in the carpet. It is a space saver and its got japanese writing on it so i guessed it was the right one?

i have a toad a6 something alarm just tried to start the car and the alarm box is ticking slowly car does not start take key out and alarm box ticks rapidly what can i do

Hi, Anyone know how much these cost and where they can be purchased from? Regards, Dave Refault

My electric adjustable driver's seat used to be fine. Now it'll only go back and forwards a little bit. It sounds like there's something in the way, blocking it but i can't see anything. Any suggestions what might be wrong? Thanks again guys* :hyper: * I assume most of us are guys. A woman in a Zed? Preposterous! Although the only reason I need my seat to go all the way forward is cos my girlfriend drives it and she's shorter than me.

Ive just disconnected the Battery and will leave off for 1 hour. When I reconnect Ive heard the ECU goes into Self Learning mode, what does this do? Should I drive normally while it does this, or do I thrash it? Does it really matter. Thanks in advance. Barry.

Does any one know where the wires to a air/fuel gauge would go thanks peter

I know this has all been covered a million times before but I cant find what I'm looking for.. MOT time looming and I'm a bit concerned about the reverse light conversion on my import. I'm not sure its going to class as a fog light to any one with eyes in their head! Thinking of doing the inner brake light conversion and having both reverse lights again. Sure I saw a wiring diagram for that conversion posted here once but can find it . Anyone know where to look? Cheers David

I just had my standard import stereo replaced with a decent, new Sony system. I asked before hand if there would be any gaps around the unit and was told no. It's been fitted and there are quite big gaps as the car's an import so they can't use the plastic surround which goes at the front of the stereo. Is this true? Is there any way of getting a stereo to fit properly into a Jap 300?

Hi all I have a slight problem with my ZX the HICAS light has came on and the steering has become very heavy and stiff I have just filled up the steering fluid with castrol detrox and it seems to have leaked out but there is still a lot left in there any ideas. Also does anyone know where to fit the wires from a air/fuel gauge to the zx Cheers Peter Lambert
