Hi everyone, i am a newbie and i am currently looking for a 300ZX in the Japanese Market. I have found some examples with low mileage(not suspiciously low), and they have some codes next to the details, the first code is 'E-GZ 32' and the other is 'GZ 32'. Can someone tell me what's the difference, and which one should i go for??? Thanks in advance, Makis

I was just wondering because I have done it other cars without any problems. I think it will be ok, if I leave the EGR solenoid still pluged the ECU will not detect it.

Hi folks My battery died at work tonight. Whilst waiting for my sister to come and rescue me my boss, about to head off home, had jump leads and managed to get my car going. Unfortunately, I had to wait for my sister to arrive and when she got there the car stalled. Which was nice. We had to push the car out of the way for others to enter and leave the car park. Christ, it's seriously heavy. It took four people to push it, mind you it was up a slight hill. We tried a few places to purchase a battery but ended up empty handed. Suprisingly enough, Halfords didn't have one in stock, hmmmm. They would have charged £60. Is this a good price compared to Niss…

If I am supercilious and condescending whilst trying to be funny does it make me a) look good in front of women or b) look like a twerp?

Now I'm such a novice on this topic it's embarassing :o I wanna change my import radio and speakers for some half decent new ones. Looking in the backs of various car mags I see prices have dropped loads over the past few years, which is good :D. Decent cd changer, nowt flash, looks around £150, speakers £50 a pair? Not bothered about being the best/loudest/bassiest(!) just wanna be able to play cds and turn the volume up sometimes without fuzzy noises etc. Do I need an amp? Are they only for high wattage outputs? Will the wiring already in place be ok? Can I just go to a shop and buy a stereo I like, with 4 speakers of the right size, and fit th…

I recently asked for advice on a problem i was having with my N/A auto Z suffering from a vibration/judder coming from underneath around the 2000 rpm mark when accelerating. The advice I was given by various people was the it was most likley the Center Shaft Bearing (prop-shaft bearing). After finally getting my car back today and costing £325 it has made no difference whatsoever. As u can imagine im gutted, just lost £325 for nothing and still have no idea what the problem is, can anyone suggest wtf i do now (apart from cry that is)?

Can anyone tell me if you can get the 2-seater SWB version with the targa roof? Cheers

Other than high emmisions until she is warmed up, am I likely to damage anything removing the AIVs with a standard ECU

My friend is lookin to buy a 300 but he needs some info on 'em, what is the insurance group, 0-60 times and basically any helpful advise you guys could give him. P.S I told him to buy a 200 but the lad hasn't any sense :p ;) :D

Further to my last request for info on a brake problem, the ABS light did come on today for approx 5 miles until the engine was switched off. Is it possible to disconnect the ABS untill I get it sorted?

:( Headache..... After running my engine in with TotalSeal rings - I've apparently got a problem which haunts most toalseal users - oil burn, and lot of it! So.... I need some 88mm (which is 1mm oversize for the VG30) rings. Nissan only go to +0.5mm, Johnny @ GPS hasn't a clue, and my local engine builders only suggestion is the 200SX rings - which are the correct size and shape apparantly - can anyone confirm this? (88mm, 1.6 top, 1.6 scraper, 4mm oil) Any help regarding 200sx rings or where i may source some rings from would be much appreciated Cheers

Just want to know the pros and cons, of this mod?

Anyone coming down to this? Its at Castle Combe http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/ If we get enough people we could have a stand!! Dan

My clutch booster is defintely f**ked. Anyone help, ive looked at the manual and cant work it out...... Do i need a new one? i suspect so... Dan JAP '91 2+2 TT

Someone was talking about a 60k service kit. Does anyone know who sells these at a reasonable price and what they include?

Just got an very, very cheap quote for insurance from Lifesure. Any catches??????

Sounds like I may have to replace the clutch to sort out the release bearing :( apart form the annoying squeel, what other damage is being done? And considering I only have upgraded exhaust at the moment and don't plan on any performance mods in the near future ( want to make sure everything is sweet before modding) is it worth staying with stock or going for an aftermarket one like RPS from Smithy? Is there much difference is price? Thanks guys! James

Can anybody tell me how long it should take to get the injectors out? A local garage has told me it takes about 2-2.5 hours. Hopefully cleaning/replacing the injectors will get rid of the poor running. Was also told that the fuel pressure was running too high. Could the fuel pressure reg be faulty?

A mate of mine was going to buy a TVR Griffith but after testing one called me and asked how to find a decent Zed. I gave him a drive in mine last summer and apparently he aint forgotten. ( I think it was the Transformers soundtrack that pinched it for him) He`s seen one at a garage near St Neots in Cambs. but don`t know a thing about a TT Zed (94 import). IS there a chance that anyone here might be willing to help a future Zedder out? Any help would be appreciated as I don`t want him to end up with a nail.

I saw my first Zed in over 8 months as I was trundling into the office earlier. It was blue....never seen a blue one before! A BMW 318 Ti overtook me and I was barely through saying prat when this blue streak shot by me. That Zed was seriously moving!!! A41 between Newport and A5 junction....anyone here??? If so, congratulations! Made the beemer look a real ass.

Yes thats right i no longer have my beloved g plate import 2 seater manual n/a zed, but welcome everyone, my new H plate manual tt in black 4 seats, many of you will know the car that belonged to paul (semco32), i believe paul has now retired to a villa in spain with all the money i had to throw his way to prize it from him, not to worry tho, but here we go can any one tell me what the mmg-$$ boost gauge is in psi as it goes up to seven or so but what does it all mean?? im sad to see my old n/a go mind, but its nice to look out the window and see a zed replacing a zed,also paul suggested searching the site to learn about turbos etc as i know little about them, (maintenan…
