I recently bought some iridium spark plugs and it turns out they're for a US Z, meanwhile i'm having slight problems at high revs. Has anyone got any plugs they've recently taken out they can sell me nice and cheap. Just i don't want to buy new plugs if my new ones are ok, if it's apparent they are causing a problem ill buy some new ones. AndyZ don't have none;- http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18516 Cheers

Hi I want to fit custom fit speakers to my doorpanels but to save time i wondered if any one has the size of the speakers that are in the doorpanels as this would save me having to take the panels of to measure them. Im going to Crail 1/4 mile on the 11th and hope to buy a pair as i got my back ones there the last time. Cheers :cool:

Anyone know an idiots guide to setting up fogs in one side of the reverse lights. My J spec has them run through the inner rear brake lights but they now dont work for some reason so im goingto put that back to stock and start again if possible. All help appreciated, MOT due 13th of next month:(

My Fairlady Z has now been off the road for a year with a F****d auto box. First of all the original box packed up on me in the lake district, and I had to be lifted by the RAC back to Slough (what a journey), then I eventually fought the box out of the car having dismantled the exhaust, etc; with just a jack and a pair of alxe stands to give me clearance under the car!!!! Took the box to a guy in Didcot, who told me that the box was unrepairable. Bought a box from Nippon Spares, and fitted it. No reverse and no 1st gear. Took this box out and over to the guy in Didcot. He said he fixed it, but I had the same trouble, took it back, and he said there was nothing wrong with…

Does anyone know the size/pattern of the little copper crush washer that attaches to the sump plug. Not a very interesting question I admit:rolleyes:

Hello, I am seeking some help, I actually live in Spain and have been checking with different UK companys on buying a 300zx.They are way much cheaper in the UK than rest of europe. I contacted this site called http://www.bonsaicars.com and what they do is that you pick the 300zx from their auctions daily in Japan then they import the car for you to the UK. What I need to know is; if anybody has done this before and is it safe? reliable? trusted?? I am complete lost and maybe afraid I get somehow ripped off? many Uk company do this like http://www.neweraimports.com or http://www. goulders.com etc etc. Please can anyone reply me on this matter? would be so so appreciate…

Does anyone know of a bodyshop within 100 miles of Bristol, that would be able to supply fit and paint a tailgate panel (including 4 round light clusters) to my silver fairlady???? If so, please let me know...

Don't need much of an excuse to drive my Z so thought I would give my mates a lift home on friday night. They were just getting the obligitory kebab while I'm in my car waiting for them and I hear this THUD!!!! I look towards the rear of my car but a face is looking back at me through my targa's! Some square dude with glasses on has fkin launched himself onto my rear screen and is smiling at me through the t-tops! Now........we all love our Z's...........a kind of animal instinct kicks in if anyone was to do anything to hurt them........agreed? I was on auto-pilot as I got out of my car, picked him up by the waist of his jeans and the scruff of his neck and kinda …

So I am out with the better half on Saturday night... slowly getting w*nkered so I did the most stupid thing I could have done... I started telling her my plans for the Z and the money involved.... So she then went into devils advicote mode and basically made me feel a prize burk for planning to spend that much money on a car that I have already paid out shed loads for. So I am sat here now totally deflated about what to do. Trying to justify to myself if it is really worth spending 4K on a bodykit, 1K on interior, 1K on ICE and 2K on new wheels and tyres. For a car that's value may or may not reflect what has been done. Will I ever be in the luxurious po…

I got this Crane amp from a fried then realising it's only good for 6 inline engine or V8.. And I was reading some thread here recently about spark plugs to use.. so.. which is the best for a manual TT... Thanks...

I got the parts from Nissan, only a tenner. But i can tremoved the broken bits!! Anyone done this or have any suggestions. Dan

Hi Boys/Girlz... Some of you guys may know me from the Midlands Meets in Derby... I have just bought a nice S13 But the front disks seem a little warped. I have been told by a good source that you can fit 300ZX Calipers/Pads/Disks... Where do you recomend in my area a scrapper who may have a pair? Should get it to stop pretty well... ;) Cheers for any help. :)

Does anybody have an RPS Single disc Carbon Carbon Clutch fitted to their Z? I am thinking of getting one as my clutch is knacked and I would of fitted a lightweight flywheel at the same time anyway. (Well that justified the cost to my other half, NOT!) What are they like for everyay driving and what is wear like? Cheers Paul

Can anyone help me get a part number for these, it's the last connector/joint before the actual jet's and supposedly stops the water from returning to the bottle. I've tried Nissan, but they show me a diagram, and there not on there. The car is a import 2+0, and the water bottle is in the boot not in the engine bay like the 2+2. The valves are like a standard connector with a fat section in the middle, about 7 - 8 mm thick. Anyone help. Cheers Alex.

Got my HKS Legal exhaust replaced last week with a Mongoose one fron the Z Centre. I have to say that Luke was as helpful as ever (great bloke!) and CHEAP.....much cheaper than buying direct from Mongoose!:D I did an ECU re-set (disconnected the battery for an hour) while the Z was up on the ramp having the new pipework fitted, and now she goes like stink again. I was starting to 'get used' to the power (it seemed a bit flat especially with a couple of bloody great holes in the old zorst) but now she goes like she should! Oh, and the new pipe sounds lovely too! Not too loud, but a nice deep throaty 'burble', a bit like a V8:D Oh, and I have been suffering from HICA…

When removing the aiv's, how far back can you remove them in the engine bay, as in is it just the vacuum lines or is there more. Cheers Vijay

Do TT decat pipes fit NA?

Up at Crail drag racing at the weekend and I lost drive in ALL gears at the same time and there’s a lovely whirring noise coming from the box. The fluid is perfect, clear pink, and there was no slippage beforehand so I’m wondering if it could be the torque convertor and/or oil pump, both of which I’ve still got on my old box (where the cluches failed). Has anyone ever had anything similar and changed the pump/torque convertor? If I have to go for a new box, who other than SE, do an uprated one and what’s the going rate? Colin

Ive done a few pics of my aivs as i checked em out the other day, thought they might come in handy for anyone who doesnt know where they are like i used to!!!

Hello again Now i know you are going to say get rid of the NA and get a tt but i do alot of miles so i need to keep the MPG down BUT i do want it a bit quicker Now done K and N But should i spend £500 on a zorst or £500 on 75 bhp NOS kit My mate has NOS on his TT and he never looked happier(except when bottle leaks and freezes his boot)

Pulled up alongside a Lotus Elise ( newish model ) at a set of traffic lights. He was looking over and was reving up a lot, so I thought OK then , what the f*ck! Lights changed to green and we both floored it. I was then a bonnets length ahead which then became a car lenghth before we reached 60!! He then followed me ( single carrageway ) to the next set of lights, where he turned right and gave me the thumbs up. At least he enjoyed our burnup and had the decency to acknowledge our little race!:D :D Cheers, F.T.
