hi all reasons why 350zx does nout for me. the back end looks like they ,ve nicked the design from porsche 928 the front end from a toyota celica and the middle an audi tt not an original design at all same with all new cars these days they all pinch designs off each other , ran out of ideas i guess.. they will never beat the 300zx for its sleek looks purebred class the z 32 so whoever is responsible for the 350zx design should have spent another 9 yrs to dream up something which doesn,t look german mind you hitler would have been mighty proud of it. anyway thats my view on it cully z:D :D :D

Talking to the guy who fitted me a new battery (Boch Silver £58.) A friend of his has been quoted £5,000 for 1 new turbo. They say 40 hours labour, what the f**k is that all about?? Told him about this site, any of you wizzards know contact numbers and prices? His Lady Friend loves the car but is considering selling because she can not afford the bill from Nissan. Come on guys lets keep another Z purring and away from Nissan dealers. PS she will not mind travelling if the price is right. Bob

Hopefully going to get a test drive in a 350Z next week!! The importer who got me my Z has got one for £28,000. I'll let you know how it goes......... Dan

Thought i'd check the air filters on my Zed last night. After spending 10mins scratching my head, i evetually found it under the plate between the front lights. Only to discover it wasnt a pair of flat air filters as i've been told but a large yellow foamed HKS filter!! Has this been modified to accomodate this? How do i replace the filter / clean it? Dan

Hi all. My Zed - 1990 ZX TT Targa auto Jap spec has a problem when idling. When in Park, and left to idle, after a while the passenger side exhaust blows out blue smoke. When driving normally or using the kickdown or going fast there is no blue smoke and everything is fine. Does anyone have a clue what this could mean? are the turbos going or piston rings or is it simple? Thanks Regards Ian

allright gang just priced some tyres brand new goodyears for £94.00 quid all in which i think is brill considering watts tyres quoted me £140 the other week :) cully z

I am in need of some help. Although this may sound strange, I hope someone out there can assist me. I would like a photo, up close if possible, of a 300ZX injector. If anyone can help me out if would be great. Also if anyone knows of anywhere where I can source some injectors, preferably 2nd hand, that would also be a bonus, (I am in need of some Nissan injectors for a turbo project). Thanks

Anybody got a spare rear wheel nut they can sell/give me please? It's just a standard stock nut, the motors an import but I'm pretty sure that they are all the same. Cheerz

Guys, I have to remove a Clifford concept 300 from my Pug 205gti today as the car is going tomorrow and the lady is going to trackday it so she isnt bothered about the alarm, its £300's worht though and I like to fit it to me fiesta! Are these things really hard to take out? Any help or numbers to contact would be appreciated!:D

Hi Guy's Anybody have any info, contacts etc for new tyres. Currently have Bridgestone Potenza S-02, 225/35-zr18. Looking for best price stockist don't have to be Bridgestone's. Cheers Dave.

Attached picture shows the awful way a Cat 1 alarm had been wired in, the wiring run was tightly run around the back of the brake pedal and the brake arm had cut through the insulation on a few cores. The zed had faulty central locking which was directly related to this, I have seen another install where the feed to the alarm had been taken from the ABS and was interfering with the start up proceedure for the abs light (mot failure) and others where the imobiliser is located a few inches frrom where the cables are spliced in making it a quick simple trace job to bypass it! Now I am no way calling all alarm installers but we do see some S??t installations from …

Take a look at the attached picture to see a missing earth cable and a missing fuel filter on an otherwise nice zed was letting it down. Must say removing the filter was an odd decision to make ? Jeff @Zedworld

Ok so what is the cheapest/easiest way to do this, and what should i be upping it too, my car has apexi induction, jwt chip, de-cat, large bore exhaust. Years ago people used to install a knob that turned to increase/decrease the boost but i would assume both turbos have to boost the same so how does it all work??

First the good news. It passes its 3rd MOT since I've had it first time yet again. 130k+ miles. The bad news - only an advisory - says hole in floor near sill front off side. Had visions of my feet on the road Flintstones style! The hole is actually a little smaller than a 2p and right beside the sill section of the OS front wing in the underbody where it meets the sill. The tester has found some rust and poked it all away and right through it. It seems solid all around it though. So I guess some welding will be warranted before the next MOT is due. It is just at the place where tyre fitters jack it up and bend over the seams where the drain holes in the sill…

HI all can anybody tell me how to get a piccy of my car onto the ride section cheers Dave:D

I need a bit of advice identifying the manufacturer of my front suspension top links, adjustable camber. They are like a sleeved, flat steel box section, with four bolts through them vertically, and two pinch bolts either side. Gold coloured finish, with rubber bushings on the inboard end, and a grease nipple underneath. About 10" x 5" x 1" thick. Well the rubber bushes are worn to death, but I can't find a manufacturer's name on the links themselves, and the previous owner doesn't know when they were fitted. Any ideas who makes these? I need to know if they can take standard rubber bushes. Thanks in advance!
