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…

Hi can anyone help me find out what brand these skirts are? I really want a set of Kaminari skirts but they are becoming hard to buy due to the twinz kit's. Given up on the twinz stuff as they don't help themselves trying to buy the parts either out of stock or the suppliers don't reply to emails.

Anyone done this, what are the pros and cons, on the motorway at 70 mph it feels like it's over revving at 3000 rpm, I know this is the correct rpm, when it's doing 40 mph 3rd is to low and 4th is to high, they have made our local roads 30 and 40 mph speed limit backed up by speed cameras, this is from 60 mph.:xxx: Any ideas/comments welcome. thanks Paul

Any idea how the hell you can remove these plugs from the metal frame? I can see there is a small "tang" holding the plug in place, but how does it come off without breaking the plastic runners on the reverse of the plug?

Which exhaust gives the nicest tone? And how much difference do they make to power - negligible or material? Also where does one go to source these? First time I've considered a new exhaust so completely clueless! Iv'e got the SE pipes on mine that came with the car but I've never really liked the sound. A bit too quiet for my liking unless I'm gunning it and even then I don't really fancy the sound they make. Can only remember FunkySi's Veilside pipes and they sound pretty good. What'e everyone else running?

Hi everyone, Just got back from another great Zedfest. Anyway, the event has never really took off as far as the 300's are concerned. And given that in my opinion we have the best Z car I keep wondering why we don't have a bigger following at this event so I wanted to ask for everyone's input. Please be honest and even feel free to say if you've never heard of it as the promotion side could be 1 of the reason why not many 300's go. I'm really wanting to know what would make you think, actually that event sounds good. Your ideas can be as hairy assed as you like. For those that don't know this is held at Sherbrooke Scout Camp near Nottingham. For examp…

Collected my car on Friday having had the engine rebuilt by Jimmer at PowerZed. Jimmer's done loads of work including a new wiring loom, bigger injectors, bigger SMIC's, 535 turbo upgrade, forged pistons and loads more. Now she purrs like a pussy cat and is silky smooth. I cant wait to get it back to Jimmer & Noel AKA Turbonoz to get it mapped. Just going through the run in process and we are good to go. Jimmer has been great, he's kept in touch and has given me great advice and as a bonus he's a top bloke. I have spent the weekend driving around (she's been off the road for 7 years) with a massive smile on my face. Cheers Jimmer I cant thank you enough :)

Ive recently upgraded to a larger oil cooler, i noticed in one of the stock lines there is a restrictor, but my new lines dont have one, is this restrictor needed??

who in the uk stocks 99 spec rear lights ?

I have seen this around stoke occasionally. Yesterday I drove right past their house so decided to knock and introduce myself but they were not in. Is this someone on here? Rich

Hi, Can any one help me please I'm after a set of white dials but can't seem to find them any where for sale here's a picture of what I would like them to look like the second picture are a bit different but prefer the first picture.

Drove down to see Lee in Shrewsbury today, was a great drive with the targas off. He checked over the whole car making sure there were no leaks after the engine build, then he began making a list of all the bits of trim I was missing. Half an hour later my Zed was loaded up with everything I needed plus a dash board in great condition. He wouldn't take a penny for the bits or for checking over the car. He's done a superb job on my Zed aswel, not just the engine but he pretty much renewed everything on it. Will be down to see you again soon mate. Thanks again. Can some kind person rotate that pic for me please?

As some of you may know, my NA is knocking badly, oil starvation to the drivers head and would need stripping, i can either convert to a TT using my UK TT as the donor, but after starting it today and having a good look around apart from a respray, new windscreen and catback fitting, it needs very little else and im really loathed to rape it. I have a chance of a good NA engine but not till October and even if i rebuild one of mine it would still be months rather than weeks to complete, so to get to JAE im seriously contemplating now on getting the TT on the road, albeit not looking the best, but its a zed and more chance of getting it ready than the yellow one. …
