HI Guys I have a twin turbo polished plenum to sell. I wondered if anyone could advise how much these are usually priced at. I bought it quite a few years a go and it's never made it to the car. I know it all depends on condition, so I've added a few pics. Any feedback is much appreciated, cheers.

I know this subject has come up in the past but it now looks like the UK authorities have now made the fitment of aftermarket HID (and LED) bulbs into exisisting Halogen lamps an MOT failure. The change made to the latest MOT inspection manual (11th January 2021) now reads: Section 4.1.4 Compliance with requirements “Existing halogen headlamp units should not be converted to be used with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp.” https://www.gov.uk/guidance/mot-inspection-manual-for-private-passenger-and-light-commercial-vehicles/4-lamps-reflectors-and-e…

I need a power steering control valve solenoid. Everyone is showing this part as discontinued. Mine tests ok in resistance tests. The wires are broke off at the base .Does anyone know of a company that can remanufacture it for me?

What's the current thinking of the best place to source 99 spec rear lights (and centre panel) from? ZCentre is £552 for the 3 panels inc vat, but without shipping. Is it cheaper to source from the states even after taking shipping and taxes into account?

Hi all. Im currently trying to mount a factory steering wheel to my car in my newly started long journey of restoring it back to former glory. Ive bought a wheel in beautiful condition to replace a quick release alcantara type setup. Im really not a fan of this due to how intrusive it is, the wheel has a deep dish and coupled with the mounting boss it protrudes too far in for the driving position. So I have the wheel, the horn with cruise buttons, 17mm nut... but I believe Im missing a slip ring. My car is a 1992 (non airbag) non-turbo model with cruise. Im finding myself at a loss trying to A. Identify which part I need, and then B. Source one. I put the word out on …

Hi guys, I've attached a link to the Zclub with some text and images regarding my stolen zed - https://zclub.net/community/index.php?threads/stolen-zed.27886/ The same text applies here - it's been many years since I've posted! I wasn't able to upload the images on the site here, so went to Zclub first. It'll be much appreciated if you bear my missing girl in mind if ever you may come across part or all of her......... Thank you and all the best, Simon

Currently up for auction with bidding now at $12,250 with 1 and a bit days to run. Allthough not considered by some as desirable as its TT brethren this is a very clean and amazingly low mileage example. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1994-nissan-300zx-8/

I see someone has made 300zx dished wheels and they are directional. A modern look on the old design and I think they look great. I would love to see them in the metal on a 300zx is it anyone here that has ordered them? So what do you guys think. https://rimscarnated.co.uk/products/rimscarnated-sr-300-wheels-nissan-300zx-concave-wheels?_pos=1&_sid=83db620e4&_ss=r

I have a 93 that when i got it was running great. In driving it for a year several issues arose. I did the 130k service and loads of other maintenance. Car doesnt run right any more. What it does is starts and runs fine, then when i drive it its fine, until i put my foot into it then it sputters and runs incredibly rough until i back off the pedal. When not in boost i can redline it and its smooth as glass the whole way. Not until i get into boost does it fall on its face. I dont even know where to start with this. Ive had local mechanic tell me compression is fine, coils are fine, injectors are fine(i replaced one suspect one even), ive replaced knock sensor, temp sens…

I'm after a new cover for the Z. Have a Halfords one that is a good fit but the rodents got at it when I left it on the floor instead of in the bag and now looks like swiss cheese! Any recommendations. Want a good quality robust one. Thanks

Has anyone had a big order off Z1 motorsports? Have you then been charged for import duty. I’ve seen quite a bit I want to buy and had worked out very cheap, but trying to get an idea of if I will pay import duty and roughly what it will be on $820 of goods. It’s not huge parts lights, boost pipe kit, rad pipe kit. Also any recommendations for an induction kit?

Missing our Club get togethers, I came across these three videos from the FUJI Speedway in Japan taken last December when a large number of 300ZXs turned up together for a meet with (for me) the star of the day the IMSA "75" 300ZX all under a lovely clear blue sky with Mount Fuji in the backgound! The first video shows off the cars whilst the second video (skip to 10:36 if you like) and third video shows "75" opened up to see inside the rear section of the car and then started up (turn up the volume for those). Great to see the iconic car close up - what a great day that must have been!

For those who store their cars for the winter and longer, what procedures do you follow? A change in my circumstances has meant I've needed to take my Z off the road for the foreseeable. I am particularly interested in whether letting the car idle once a month is a good idea for our cars in particular. I was planning to leave mine idling for 30 minutes + with a few rev ups towards the end. As for other things, I have a dehumidifier in my garage to keep moisture under control and have over inflated the tyres to try and keep flat spots away.

Hi Folks, Kinda bored today so I thought I'd make a little video of cold starting the Fairlady, https://youtu.be/MxGh6X45Mh8 I'm in Northwest England, so not cold at all really, What's the coldest people on here start them up? regards Scott.

My gear selector is not as direct as I would like. I believe this could be worn bushes. So I was thinking of getting a short shifter & any advice would be welcome. Arthur
