Just purchased a gearbox off kieran on here so I need to know what I need , like gaskets? Or anything else. If the box is dry from oil how much is the total amount required and is there a special way to fill it as some needs to be in the torque convertor ... cheers guys Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Hi, My clutch is starting to slip on my Z32 NA 1993 I have been to some local suppliers and they only list the turbo clutch. Is the turbo clutch same as the NA? Anyone know of a reputable company? Don't want to be in a position where I am fitting the clutch and its the wrong one!

Ok so checked the resistance on pinout 44 which is the neutral switch on the ECU, getting 8.4 volts from reverse and drive But no voltage on neutral or park? Is this normal? Plus I also purchased a new battery. I'm starting to think that this is coincidence! So looking for a gearbox. Hopefully the chap on here will get back to me. am I clutching at straws here? or could the problem be one of the following? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-FAIRLADY-AUTOMATIC-GEAR-GEAR-POSITION-SELECTOR-SHIFT-SENSOR-/331041429292?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3ANissan%7CModel%3A300+ZX&hash=item4d139b572c http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NIS…

Hi all, I have purchased a pair of brembo front calipers off ebay for a bargain. And have read up a few posts on here regarding the disks needed and brake lines and brackets for relocating the caliper. I was wondering if anyone had bought this kit off ebay and if it was any good? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=221427525667&alt=web Or can anyone point me in the best direction to get the correct parts from. My main concern is the relocation brackets as I dont want crap ones and I know ebay sometimes sells dodgy stuff. Thanks jon

Ok, if I was so inclined to buy one, what would a solid SWB targa rolling shell be worth please?

can anyone tell me if 350 324mm front discs will fit my 300zx please

Hi everyone just having a small problem with my cig lighter, just been changing the rear wheel and plugged in the air compressor on the cig lighter to pump the spare one up and after about 5 mins the compressor has cut out, so checked it on the pulsar cig lighter and works fine but nothing works on the 300 cig lighter, the fuse is ok and ive changed it with a new one to make sure but still no power what else could have gone wrong. Is there another fuse somewhere. cheers Tom

Think I need some spigot rings for new wheels,anyone know the OD of the Hub on a z?

Hi Bit of an update and plea for help or ideas, in my previous threads I stated I needed windscreen changed and had concerns over A Pillar trims, well auto glass came to do screen and on removal found the Pillar trims to have just been stuck with resin from screen bonding no Retainer or clips. New screen fitted my intention was to replace retainer trim and clips with new , after email Luke at Z centre I have been informed Retainer normally fitted under screen and the bonded in which now leaves me a gap where trim should be fitted. Any ideas on how to cover this without having to have screen removed again and I don't won't to buy new retainers and trims etc if I h…

So a little bit of fun here no names no need for that just an insight into pricing of work on zeds 14 years ago and some a little sooner, have loads of these receipts and some of the prices are mind boggling... So a run of the mill oil change, nothing simpler.....how much would you pay? A more serious upgrade one here, but given I know this ecu has a generic chip in the software cost was enormous.. Have some more howlers I will take pics and post some more, I have been crying with laughter here at some, the garages must have just been thinking up numbers and doubling them and then double again...Lol Jeff TT

I have been chasing a problem with my TT engine for a few weeks now - started as a knock on 6, so I stripped the bottom end out with the car on the ramp to investigate Sure enough, No 6 big end bearing was shot... even though it was a very "new" ACL and the rest were fine. I concluded the crank was scored and needed a fuller investigation, so out came the box, and everything else to pull the crank. Took it to my engine builder who inspected and concluded that the journals were still in limits and after a polish could be used. Yet the mystery of why no 6 was shot when the rest were fine bugged me. After some really careful inspection I have conclude…

Have I broke my injector? The little brass nipple on the top has snapped off :(

I just bought a set of gtr r33 brembos from rata2ie on here with 324mm disc i beleave and would like to put on with new braided pipes and just wanted to know if someone had a gen link to some as i dont want to order somthing that dosnt do what it says on the tin .if you get me meaning? Cheers

As the title suggests. How do I get it off. Calipers are off ready. Im keeping the rotors so dont want to destroy them while removing. I snapped a wheel stud by overtightening it. The reason for removal. Thanks

Silly question but I'm sure someone has done this before, can u get 4 18" wheels fitted with tyres in a zed? I'm thinking 2 in boot and 2 wrapped up on back seat. Rather a road trip in the z than a hilux diesel!

Having a look through some of my paperwork and I've notice that the z has only done about 85k miles, but obviously it's 25 years old. Should bushes be replaced due to age or mileage

Hello guys, recently my zed fuel pump is buzzing noisily especially under throttle and the car stumbles at high rpm. This leads me to believe the pump is failing, I havea new Walbro 255lph pump and was wondering if it's just a straight replacement and if anyone has a guide to the process? Thanks for looking

Well, spent the day packing every tool I could, fluids and spare wheels. Loaded the car and ready for a 4:45 start in the morning. :yawn:

Hi all, Just wondering how hard it is to install an TT diff in to an NA subframe? Can it be done? Cheers Dan

Hey folks:) been looking for a pair of front passenger and driver floor mats for the Z. Last time I got some was 4 years ago at Z1motorsports I was checking the ones with Z logo but Jesus Christ! $129 + $80 shipping is just too much. I was wondering if you guys knew about any Z floor mats that are not that way expensive. Any help and advice will be appreciated:))

I am well and truly a one trick pony I know :laugh:. But I follow 'customer' remits and these are two more completed today. Not going to say who they're for but let them comment if they so wish. In the foreground is a genuine 99 spec one and as is the way these days the 300ZX lights up red of course with my unique work - both are not powered up in the pic so you could say in daytime mode. The other just a normal one to start with, complete with my red 300ZX work also that mimics the genuine units, this lights up also, both are provided with the invertor to carry out this job. You will notice this one is not as long as the other, because quite obviously…

So for a start, did another boost leak test yesterday, It still seams to be coming from the back at the top. got underneath it and the turbo's sound fine. It appeared to be coming from this thing (red circle) there was some oil around the bolt that was rippling in the breeze (from the boost leak I'm assuming) but no amount of soapy water was making any bubbles, although it was slightly muffling the sound when the rush was around it. Tried tightening both sides which seemed to help a bit, but still didn't stop the leak. Also I was wondering what the thing is the green arrow is pointing too? after boxing it all backup after drove it home…

Hi Chaps. Wondering what this pipe is please. Passenger front wheel well, comes from behind the front bumper area and goes what seems to be into the frame rail. Its a dead end pipe with just a slit opening on the end of it. Is it from the carbon canister vent? Just doing a bit of tidying up. Fully removed all AIV and PRVR components. Thanks...
