On the old site there was a section for the supply of new rear spoilers. Can anybody tell me where I can find the supplier. Do they have a link on the new site?

At first I smelt coolant while driving my Z ( 94' 300zx TT ) went home and checked radiator for loss of coolant but it was full. went out an hour later and noticed that when I took off in first gear some kind of liquid was pouring into passenger side onto mat, it smelt exactly like coolant. went home again and saw that it was coming from this plastic container located at passenger side just above the floor. The liquid is slippery and doesn't really have a smell is a goldish colour more like water. noticed a bit on driver side aswell. but the weird thing it only pors out when I first start driving from a halt usually after I turn the car off for a while. The liquid in ra…

It looks like a 300ZX with a body kit? Is it just me or does the roof line, side glass/roof line, bonnet & front angle, and side doors with flush handles and no body swage lines? What do you guys/girls think?

Can't do a link because it's in Macromedia Flash.

Hi Scoops, i was talking to mac the other day and he mentioned that you can get Castrol rs 10-60 for a very good price. do you have any more cans left, if not could you get a couple of cans? aki

Hello again Good news someone is interested in my 928s therefore i'm a little closer to a 300zx.I've read a little and it seems a '91 onwards would be my choice.One with T-BAR electric seats/mirrors etc i'm not sure of engine size though? I've enjoyed the 928 auto and would like an auto zx.What sort of price should i be looking for one with 50-60k on the clock? Is there an owners club that can offer cheap insurance? Finally i've not actually been in or driven one,are they as much fun as they look?Does anyone a dealer that may hold one i can test? That'll do for now

hi, try putting cruise on the other day but is not working anymore. what & how can i check to find the problem.

Nightmare Driving home from london today, and notice my breaks are failing, If I put my foot down it goes to the floor and the car slows a little bit, if I then release the peddle and push down hard I start to break, If i then release again and break they come in ok. after 10 meters off the break though this all starts again With the car off the breaks go to the floor for a few pumps and then it stays rock hard. im very confused.

i have had an induction kit and stainless exhaust fitted for some time now. but i m stuck between fitting a boost controller or going for nitrous. have any of you guys got gas on your zeds if so have you had any problems and is it as good as it sounds?

Wondering did you get my mail Re:Auto Man Conversion last week?

Hi guys, me again. Still got the problem with the high tickover etc. I've cleaned the PTU connectors and done an ECU reset but to no avail, still got the problem. Can anyone tell me where to find the throttle position sensor, how to clean the throttle bodies and anything else worth a try? Pictures would be a great advantage as I'm not brilliantly mechanically minded. I've tried looking on twinturbo.net, but can't access their doc's because they have a problem with their site at the mo. Cheers again.:mad:

The new skyline?!?! a V6 motor?!?!? non-turbo only?!?! What were they thinking? well I never....... ;)

my heater matrix has packed up and its getting chilly, has anyone attempted a DIY install? I know it is located right under the dash! I've done more or less every other job myself but not sure about this one! don't fancy paying SE £400 LABOUR! (8 hrs) thanx in advance.......

Does anyone know of any firms in the UK who have the knowledge, hardware and expertise to remap a Mine's ECU? I guess I'm after a co. with rolling road facilities etc? http://www.prospec-ms.co.uk sell the Mine's ECU, but they list abbey motorsport as their garage. Any other offerings? Tim

Had to post just to gloat, and seeing as my cheque for membership hasn't cleared yet I can only post here! Just got a new mobile valeting company to do the cars in my office car park. They only charge £15 fo a complete wash n wax, vac out, polish inside (including glass!), black the tyres, empty the ashtray and leave an air-freshener in there. A good price, but coz I'm the boss and I gave them the business I get my ZX done for FREE EVERY WEEK, YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!:D :D :D :p :D

can anyone suggest any springs that will lower my Z 40mm or more? lowest so far are MJP's at 35mm but don't want a gap at all between rubber and arches! (just put 18's on) .......... and I know it will bottom out etc but I want that slammed look. cheers.

Anyone got the website for Mines (ecu upgrades) Thanks Rick

I'm thinking of buying a 300ZX, probably a 2+2 model (due to occasional need to transport 2 small children), but reading reviews and things it's unclear to me which types boast 2+2 configurations. Are all types (non-turbo, TT, targa etc.) available as 2+2, or is it only certain ones. Or am I being really stupid and ALL 300ZX's are 2+2s? Can someone clarify this for me. Oh, and the next question is - just how practical/impractical are the rear seats in the 2+2? Many thanks, Kess

Can anyone tell me what a flywheel looks like. I've found one bit that I think looks like a flywheel. Its bolted to the back of the engine by 8 bolts. It has a further 8 holes outside where the 8 bolts go. It has cogs on the outside. Its 12.5 inches diameter and weighs only 2kg. Is that it or is that something to do with the gearbox ????? Any help appreciated. Thanks Andy

I need a replacement Autbox ECU for my 91 import, other from Nissan of course, who will not want the car as psrt payment. Any Ideas greatfully received:mad: :confused:
