Hi guys when I picked my car up from the paint shop it was nice and sunny and nice clear roads so I gave it some stick through the lanes... 1st time I've really pushed it with meister r coilovers, and I wasn't very impressed lol... there nearly on the softest settings and they keep trying to kill me. over bumpy roads its like the rear wheels bounce off the floor the wheels then spin up in the air to god knows what speeds and when it lands its a bit crazy lol... I've also noticed when I pull on my drive it has a big bump in the middle and to not scrape I have to go over it at an angle and often 1 wheel comes off the floor and it wheel sins its like the…

Hey guys so took my zed to Jim a few weeks ago to have some reconditioned turbos fitted, upon lifting the engine Jim found a few causes for concern, shoddy rebuild work from the previous owner. So we have decided to go ahead and fully rebuild the engine. I'll be using this thread to post progress pictures and info... I intend to go and see Noel after I've settled the engine in and then fingers crossed the car will be going in for a full respray , all new mouldings,trim etc ... Watch this space !

Evening everyone, quick question, i'm looking to replace my front and rear disks and pads on my 93 N/A JDM import.. can anyone tell me if they are the same size as a TT? And possibly where the best place is to get replacements from? Thanks in advance, Sam

that's the going rate at the mo labour only on a auto to manual swap just labour Is I have all the parts ?

As the title states, was remote locking an alarm an optional extra in Japan? Only reason I ask is because of the fob on my newest Zed... It looks kind of retro 90's era and is embossed with Nissan which kinda makes me think its original, although other than the arm and disarm buttons I am yet to figure out what the other 2 do.

After returning from a little jaunt down the coast, I got out and noticed my offside headlight was out. It's done this before but quite a while ago. Jiggled around with the ballast and connectors without turning them off and it made no difference. Turned the lights off for a short while and then decided to try them again - the headlight that was out, miraculously starts working again. Anyone else experienced this?

For the 25th Anniversary meet at Coventry, I produced a synopsis of the 300ZX development, production, sales and competition history. This information was displayed as four large format panels near the museum entrance for Club members and visitors to read. Since then I've used the same content as a small flyer to give to people who have expressed an interest in the 300ZX and the Club, most recently at the Beaulieu meet. I keep copies in the glove box to hand out as needed. The 4 sided flyer is printed A5 sized. A .pdf copy is available for download below. I hope you find it informative and useful. 300ZX 25th Anniversary Flyer.pdf

They came as spare with the car but they dnt have holes for bulbs wtf ??? :confused1:

Really stoopid problem to have, done an engine swap while engine was out I resealed sump. cant remember if kept dipstick in or not but apart from that its been untouched. The dipstick comes out about 10mm and stops you can fully rotate the dipstick both in the home position and 10mm out position. I've tried to Yank on it to pull it out and it won't budge? Anyone any ideas?

Do all US engine parts still fit on a UK car, or more specifically Left hand drive cars and right hand drive cars? I'm looking at getting some parts from Z1, head gasket kit, and silicone hoses and such. but just thought I'd better check if everything is in the same place, connections to the heater matrix etc.

Hi Chaps. My Z steering wheel sits off centre whilst driving straight. Wasn't too fussed because I've got to change the TRE's and tension rod bushes so thought would sort by getting the tracking done when I've finished. However, whilst playing with Datascan, when I hold the wheel dead straight, the HICAS steering angle sensor shows out by a few degrees. Now I don't think tracking will sort this will it, because they'll just track the car with the wheel straight, but the HICAS sensor will still read out which I believe will turn off HICAS as it will read as constantly turning slightly? So, I guess my wheel as been removed and put back on wrong at some time? So do I…

Hi can anyone till me of the speedo can be adjusted mine under reads ?

Need some advice please this corner nearest front wheel, how does the bumper attach to it? It was so long go I can't work it out, does that bracket come out and the bumper go in between the wing and bumper?

With misfire been a regular issue I have to deal with when a nice zed cam in last week that had just had the plenum off for rocker cover gaskets at another garage I half expected to find a loose or bad connection on an injector or coil pack. On arrival the owner gave me some more info, the garage had tried to fix the misfire and even replaced a coil pack connector and injector connector a coil pack and spark plug but could get nothing on cylinder no 4. When driving the car clearly was missing and popping on over run which as least suggested fuel was getting injected!! So you can see from the picture a generally ok job from a non specialist garage doing the rocker …

This popped up on my facebook from the beaulieu page

Had a non turbo zed in for service and MOT etc. looked in good order until I held the steering wheel and it wobbled left and right and up and down and was not a nice feel when moving about let alone driving on the road. It had an after market Momo wheel and after a few frustrating moments with the ever so small bolts they love to use on steering wheels it took no time to find the problem. The after market boss was just wrong in many ways, it had been made to fit over the splines ( was tight) but the thread on the steering shaft passed though it too far and there was not enough thread to get the wheel tight so a spacer had been fitted and the spacer had …

Hi all, Both the leather seats are electric in my zed and fully operational. The passinger seat is like new and the drivers as to be expected is showing wear but is still in great condition with no holes or tares! What are they worth? From what I understand passinger electric seats are quite rare? Thanks Dan

Right everyone, what are the top three best and worst things you have ever done to your Zs? As a fairly new owner I'm hoping to learn from other's mistakes and pick up a few useful ideas at the same time. Hopefully this will help anyone else new to the world of the 300ZX! Stefan

Hi has anyone any idea where I can get four of these please? They have two small clips, one each side & age related they become brittle & break!

Does anyone have any experience of Keith Michaels for their Zed insurance? I'd never heard of them but a google search brought them up and at the moment they are my lowest quote so tempted to go with them. Initial sales service seems good but then sales always is. Any feedback good/bad?

Later this week im preparing to take out my knocking engine and was considering putting my old NA engine back in for now, although its been stood a couple of years outside, but covered, so im not too hopeful of its internal condition sat so long with the oil drained. So my alternative should i need, is to Take the TT engine out of my UK project and TT the NA, but as im going to save time and use the NA loom, what do i do with the boost hoses, without a boost controller. I know it will be something like 6psi untouched, its just that i may not have time to get one sorted if i do decide to go this route. Obviously a fair bit of TT stuff will need to convert over to the …
