It's blue or purple! Not moved for past two weeks in Lyminge Kent

does anyone know were I can get a slave rebuild kit

I removed this yesterday - It's a box which has two probes attached, which run outside the car, down to the exhaust pipes, I guess for the cats, cats thats I never had, and don't want. Probably temperature probes I think. Anyway, I've removed them, and disconnected the box. Is this ok, or will the ECU be upset, do I need to leave it connected? Cheers! :)

Spotted a z32 today eastbound on the m3 near Winchester today about 11.20 didn't see it very well

There are quite a few Zeds going through restorations at the moment What about a photo shoot of them all when they're all done ? Anyone up for it ?

Just finished soldering my custom loom which will be fitted back into my new zed. Without me going into too much detail can anyone work out exactly what I'm doing ? The clue is the area of the loom which I have changed.

Just bought myself a nice little graphite grey tt. At last I am back on the road in a zed.

Hi guys, Looking to buy a carbon fibre bonnet and was wondering what the difference was between seibon and vis carbon products. I already have the vis carbon fibre boot lid so ideally wanted the bonnet but the shipping time is too long. Thanks Sav

Zeds ready for collection from Mr Dent,can't wait to pick her up,hopefully this will be the last time it goes anywhere to be sorted??? This was it only a few days ago.

Well here's the first one entitled "Things you shouldn't do to your Zed" 1, When trying to fix a dodgy brake light, do not smack the lens to hard as it cracks.. :censored: :censored: Number 2 anyone.. Rich

Had a call from a very excited daughter saying she had just seen a Zed while on holiday in Birdham going into a shop car park (Nisa). She said it was grey but could have been silver.

Started to change rear lights! 10 & 8 mm socket to undo inside nuts! Heat gun at the ready & after 5 mins lights coming away. Amber out & clear going in! Where I'm at now! Other side to come out now!

on the back of the screen washer bottle I have a uk car there is 3 pump I need to know witch one feeds the window screen ?

Engine that is lol, After my dilema thread, i decided to replace both heads on the NA, with a set im getting from Russ (Veilside) which have new valves, head gaskets etc... and after spending a good few hours on it today i stripped it down to the point of getting the heads off. Now with the rocker covers off all 4 banks, when i rotate the engine, i cant see if oil is getting up to the rockers, although there is very dirty oil in all 4 and ive noticed in most i can depress the lifters slightly, which would have been giving me the tappety sound, but nothing jumping out at me that is giving the really bad rattling/tappety noise when the engine is running. The only wa…

just when you thought you seen it all another one surprises you Snapped bolts .. No problem lets weld it on in place !!

When I stripped my zed a part of the upper steering tube was damaged so I simply cut it. Never noting that the rubber pipe is captive to the main pipe I now need a replacement. Below is a pic of the damaged pipe which is now about three inches too short to reach the pas pot : The question is - how can I make a repair of this pipe ? Can I cut the top of the metal and put a jubilee on and replace the top rubber part ? Can I replace the full pipe with rubber ? Whats the reason for the big elaborate route of the pipe rather than just going direct ? Any help on this would be great. Cheers

Spotted this the other day on the expressway in Runcorn think you were heading for widnes.

On my MOT the Advisory Items listed, 1. Offside Steering rack gaiter deteriorated. 2 & 3. Offside & Nearside Track rod end ball joint dust cover deteriorated. 4. Slight play Offside rear steering arm (HICAS) As they are replaced by size, can someone tell me what size fits the track rod ends & gaiter ? & I take it there must be some wear in the steering arm bushes? (HICAS) where can I get from if this is the case. Jeff at Zworld can not help with the dust covers. Cheers Art

If you fancy a zx with 4 micelen piolts tyres this is the car for you!! Don't forget 615 injectors brand new which should arravie enemy time!! lol. Don't think it belongs to anyone on here and if it does, my apologies, made me laugh! Someone surely can bring this back to its glory. Not much to do really if no major mechanical issues http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/300zx/uk-nissan-300-zx-tt/2689237 and for the brave http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/300zx/nissan-300-zx-3-0-v6-targa-3dr-1-owner-fnsh-very-low-mileage/2660938

Fisrt, off, sorry, this wasn't meant to be so long, but I'm seriously pi**ed off, and de-motivated. So, I've been rebuilding / transplanting my Zed for over two years now, and was on track to finish next year...and was seriously looking forward to it. I've had no major issues being motivated, looking forward to the end result, slowly fixing up and transplanting parts, making sure everything is greased or painted accordingly to avoid any future rust, I've spent a lot of time doing this. New parts, and good used parts have been used accordingly, I was trying to build to last for a very long time, out of the best parts possible. The first link in my signature will …

White ZX on M20 tonight near Maidstone going London bound. Reg plate 7--X---

Well finally got my engine from my old car into my new one, which I haven't driven for 3 1/2 years lol. Been a long process, engine transplant, manual to auto conversion, some deletes Aircon, AVI, Carbon Canister. FPR also plenium water bypass and recon turbo's and front mount intercooler. It was very reluctant to start was turning over nicely though, I checked for fuel and was present, than I checked spark, no spark on cylinder one but was now popping and burbling? then I sprayed crank angle sensor, maf, throttle position sensor and pyu with contact cleaner, and off it eventually went :D very pleased. Now it's only on 4 (I think?) and properly sounds worse than a S…

Hey all I finally got my plates last week and due to work commitments only managed to drive the car properley this weekend, so what do I think. Well I have owned some fast cars in my life. 400HP MR2 Turbo and 450HP R32 GTR are the quickest and the 300zx is roughly 320HP so I am told. When I climbed into the Z the snail like feel of the cabin cacooning itself around me makes me think I am in something special. All buttons, switches are neatly presented with ease of access and I am sitting surprisingly low. Buddy Club coilovers make it feel like a go kart. I start her up and the noise makes me grin, the rumble is addictive, unfortunatley for my neig…
