Needing a new exhaust not decided what to go for , however removed the back boxes and decided to start the car , how loud is this gonna be! Answer, not very, in fact just a rather nice note sure it's not over the legal limit(whatever that is?). Anyway got me thinking why not just pipe straight back without boxes, anyone else done this or see any problems?

As my handling feels spongy, I was thinking of uprating my shocks. Would you recommend replacing the springs as well and what types of shocks and springs would you buy and why? Also, is Z-world the best place to go to buy spares and where is it in Tamworth? Nissan 300ZX TT (auto) UK car. Cheers Chris :cry:

I've now seen a couple of different Zeds in Altrincham, Manchester making a total of 3 with mine. So that's 2 black ones and a silver (looked like a NA to me) Anyone on here?

Decided to remove the headlights today........................ :( What a fvkin pain in the arse that was :mad: and I've only got the drivers side one out so far. So I've done a search tonight, to see if there was an easier way of removing them, without removing the front bumper and the air filter box :confused: My prob is this.... On the passenger side I can get to the outer two (under the wing) and I can get to the inner front nut, but how the hell do I get to the inner rear bolt???????????????? It was enough of a pain getting to the drivers side rear inner bolt, and it took about an hour on just that one :eek: Now I've read that someone on here us…

How do you lock the hicas without an eliminater bar? cheerz, mickey

A local guy with a zed wants me (alright my dad!!) to have a look at his zed, he has the following problems: running very rough, hunting all over the place, nearly cutting out and backfiring and poping with no power also the engine light keeps coming on. Just thought i would get peoples thoughts before we have a look Cheers Mike

my mate just went into a local tool/hardware shop and asked for some 1mm welding tips. However the guy returned with about 15 different types. Anyone know what to ask for? Cheers

Hi Guys, I have a howie rad which has a pretty big core (1/4" thicker than the koyo to give an idea). Anyone here running an aftermarket rad without the viscious fan (i.e. aftermarket electric fan). Easy to fit ?. Can you notice quicker turbo spool up without the viscious ?

Stupid question but have just ordered 24 lifters from courtesy and been told the car has 48!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i thought it was 24! any body out there to confirm this cheers Dave :confused:

Im doing a 3000 mile oil change on my N/A jap spec 1992 300zx. Where can i get the filter from (or do i HAVE to use nissan uk), and also what is the best oil ? And how much does the monster hold?

Anyone following the thread regarding the central pod size and if it might be big enough to fit a Profec e -01 screen, it isn't! So I'm looking at having a larger pod made to order. Only possible if we gat a number made up together, so is anyone out there interested? Price to be confirmed but in the region of £70 at a guess.

hi guys ive got a jap spec tt AUTO and am looking to remove engine to fit a pair of smithy's t28 hybrid tub's, would it be better to remove engine and gearbox, or split torque converter and just remove engine???? i have noticed a very slight amount of oil weeping from between eng and g-box, would this be the crank main seal starting to leak? is it worth worrying about?? any one like to take bets on how long this is gonna take me?? :hyper:

After hours of mucking about trying to bleed the clutch, I've found by far the best and easiest way to do it. Once I'd got the stuff fitted to the car, it took five minutes to bleed it completely. Anyone want to know how?

Does anyone else have a petrol smell after switching off the engine? Noticed it tonight when i turned her off. also the stearing gets heavy if the cars at idol for more than a couple of minutes.

My front disks & pads need replacing, any idears on what make and type to go for that will stand a better beating than the standard ones? I've been looking at the EBC range of disks and the red stuff pads, any good? thanks :bow:

These were for sale recently on EBAY. I went to get them today but the auction was closed. They seemed quite cheap at the time. Did anyone get them or can they still be bought(I think they were only just over $200) Thanks Roy

Wondering if anyones using these with OEM Shocks. How are they compared to stock springs is there a noticeable difference?? They seemingly lower the car by 0.8 inches. Is this noticeable, dont want to be scraping my new bumber off crap country roads Thanks Roy

I'm interested in exhaust system for my z but I hesitate in my choice. Choice is restrictive for french car on the market (we have only TT 2+2) and many exhaust I find are dedicated to coupes! I find Greedy SP and Apexi megaphone but I can't find any pictures of them mounting on a car. Do you have some pictures please? Could you advice me on these items? Which is the best? Thanks!

I keep getting at least 2 error messages per thread I read. I have a feeling this is due to my firewall at work. I can not turn this off but are there settings within this forum I can change to stop these messages coming up ? I don’t get these problems at home. Line numbers within tht error message vary as well.

Red Import H reg heading into kiddy last night about 5pm, anyone on here? I wasn't in mine though.

Zeds used to be a rare thing in Nuneaton, I only knew of 3 including mine, but now another two have appeared. 1. Red one living on the Longshoot. 2. Grey one with a that followed me down tomkinson and greenmoor road the other morning (by the way you have a headlight out!!!) C'mon own up who are you then. If the one on the longshoot doesnt come forward, i'll have to go stick some 300zx.co.uk stickers on the your car for you!!!

Can anybody tell me if it is possible to tighten all the rocker cover bolts, without removing the plenum. Had a look earlier and could not see all the bolts, so it looks like the plenum has to come off. Seems to be leaking oil from rocker covers and running down back of engine. Or is it likely to be the rear camshaft seals that are leaking. Regards Kevin
