Our first time here so best behavior guys enjoy the show and see you all there and none of this :scared:................

Hiya. When I got my zed it already came with a aftermarket alarm system and imobiliser. An evo 4 falcon. Since having the car the drivers door will lock but I can't unlock. I hear it make the noise but it doesn't unlock. Ive removed the door card and checked the Handel and that works fine. The key however. Doesn't do anything. Having to keep opening from passenger side and reaching over which is getting annoying now. I have found this in the picture but can't see where it goes too. The central locking push pump thing works fine......

first thread asking for help with the new zed. yesterday i changed the shit radio that came with my car for an equally shit one but with aux in. Even though some complete retard has cut out the original wiring and bodged all the wires together (very old school), i manged to get it to work (although i will need to replace the original connectors if someone has some in a breaker that they can give me :) ). today i went to go to work and the radio won't turn on and the clock and internal lights don't work either. can some one please tell me which fuse i need to look for and where it is as i am too old to be all bent up under the dash trying to search for the problem…

As title, anyone got a 99 spec rear spoiler fitted? I need the measurement from say the rear window bottom edge ( trim edge) to the front foot mount, cannot find a decent enough picture to be sure and no other zeds in at the moment with one on! Cheers Jeff TT

Boot packed full of goodies any on my way to Coventry from Troon.

Gave the zed a wash over last night (and no no water got in the engine bay) to get it clean and ready for Saturday and decided to give it a run over to Ashby when i went to play badminton as my parents left. As i followed them out the estate i had to pull over as the fan was making some horrible noises accompanied by the smell of burning rubber belt :( Usually as i switch the car on the fan is quite evident but thinking back the car was very quiet for a change. When i had pulled over the viscous fan was rotating and blowing air at some rate which seemed normal. The rest of the journey it drove fine but did seem to dip the revs a little when trying to move …

Sorry if this doesn't belong here, but have no idea where I'm meant to ask for this now! Went to place an ad, for wanted, but can't seem to do that either.... Anyway, I'm installing an OEM exhaust cat back, minus the cats, and I'm looking for these brackets, as just found out I'm meant to have them - I also need the 'rods' that the rubbers attach to, that attach to the car, looking at the diagram it may just be a bolt, but one without the other is pointless, as I have neither. Unless someone tells me that no one bothers supporting this section of the exhaust? If these are rare and expensive then I'll do without, or make my own. I imagine mos…

the rear shocks on the swb are gone, any idea how much a new set of oem ones are?

I found this in my box of bits from a job lot purchase last year. Anyone seen one before. Not seen one on ebay so wondering if anyone else has one. I was going to fit it after a polish and a refurb but fitted a 99 spec oem one instead

The Car Of The Month competition is now open in the Competitions area ;http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?177918-COTM-July-2014-Competition-Poll Get your vote in :thumbup1: Apologies for the late opening this month.

My car has a genuine new nissan thermostat, uprated large radiator, topped with watter wettter, but upon driving 10 minutes or so the running temp on the aftermarket gauge, sits between 83 and can rise to up to 98 if accelerating on and off for long periods, generally it rises to 93 ish after a while of acceleration, but on normal driving stays steady between 82- 87.... now are these temps ok? and at what point should i be worried its getting too hot? i do have the 1.3 bar rad cap which in theory raises the water boiling point to 130. but i just want to keep the engine safe.

I think the answer is yes, but I need it confirmed by someone. I know the drive shaft is a different size, but have my original NA hub, with dead bearings attached. I recently did my Galant bearings, cut them off and hammered new ones back on, so plan to do the same with my Z bearings / hub. So, can anyone confirm if the bearings are the same on the NA / TT? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WHEEL-BEARING-KIT-REAR-NISSAN-300-ZX-1990-1994-FBK595-/310727433460?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3A300+ZX&hash=item4858cc5cf4 Cheers!

Ok so sorted everything with insurance got car back delivered late this afternoon and spent the evening doing this Have someone coming to help tomorrow who knows what there doing to get engine gearbox etc out anyone interested in any interior panels let me know

Hi all, Does this look like an after market chip or is it oem? I've been told it was chipped be SE nissan but can't find any evidence. Also what does TZ mean my other stock ecu had 25 on it. Thanks Dan

I can't get my clutch to bleed and it's really grinding me down... Getting to the cov meet is looking less and less likely now :( I can get it bled up with no air coming out and it'll go into every gear, then when I start the car the pressure has gone and can't select any gears. Am I doing something wrong or is there a way of finding what might be letting in air? How is starting the car affecting it?

i have a jap import and was wondering if there is a way of modding the rear light panel to have fogs? i see there are 2 clear lights either side of the '300zx' and im guessing the bottom 2 are reverse? do any of the other spec cars have fogs in that rear panel or would it need modding? thought maybe the top 2 could be used for fogs

So if someone was goint to replace there turbos, and rather than a straght replacement, and apart from the stagerd oil step seals and the 360 thurst bearings. What would be a reliable tub that will give a little more . not talking about cranking up the boost to mega high numbers and melting engines, just a good solid tub thats an deff inprovment over the standered but must bolt on without complications, and yes the turbos only going to be producing some good figures with uprated breathing and cooling mods aswell. looking for a reliable 400 plus whats good for a sound engine thats also not going to break the bank. thanks guys.

Hi all, I bought the zed a couple of months gauged not really paid much attention to the engine bay. I noticed a few extra wiring looms but nothing stood out that needed attention. Today i was I went to change over my battery stay for a shiney new one. 1. I found what looks like a boost hose not connected to anything...possible a removed boost gauge? 2. Beside the battery I found what looks like a relay or solinoid...I've traced the cable's 1 set goes to the water pipes that looks like a sensor was installed. The other set goes across the bulkhead towards the boost solinoids and window wiper relay that looks like it goes to the wing. I'm guessin…

Err....anybody?

Hi Guys, I've been having little niggly problems with idle/stalling/hesitation.... I've seen the threads about a whole load of problems regarding this. Now, as I can make out there are quite a few adjustments that can be made which will effect the idle rpm, for instance, tps, throttle body balance even the cable adjuster, but what I would like to know is this, in what order do you make all these pertinent adjustment to set the idle, I have been going round in circles adjusting, re-adjusting, I cant seem to nail it down. So can someone tell me in what order I make them and how to zero everything at the start. Rich ps just as I thought I knew all the ways to…
