Had an RPS clutch put on my Zed about a year and a half ago. Did this because the stock clutch could not handle the upgrades I have on the car. The clutch has not performed at best over that time and seems to be getting worse. It seems now to be slipping. I am very pissed off as this RPS clutch was not cheap. I need to now which is the best clutch to go for and how much it would be. Also would it be advisable to put a new flywheel on. Would a stock flywheel be ok. I would be greatful for any advice as I am going to get one this week. Cheerz Simon H

Can those on dial-up please check how long it takes for the page to open: http://www.300zx.co.uk/rides/trey/ It takes a few seconds when I check it from work but my home connection is a lowly 28.8k(hangs his head in shame) Ta, ------------------ Trev 1990 300ZX TT 2+2(import) http://www.300zx.co.uk/rides/trey/

Hi folks, I'm trying to find out the part number for a splash guard that screws up underneath the front of the car (the front one that connects to the front spoiler) but I'm not sure where to start looking. Any ideas? Thanks, -Stu

Had a nasty shock the other day when I saw a few spots of oil on the drive! Closer inspection revield a smothered uderside! After much cleaning and serching revieled a corroded oil pipe. The pipe comes from the oil cooler at the front of the car. you have to trace the rubber pipes from the top of the cooler down to where the hard pipe joins. Mine had corroded right on the bend and was weeping oil. To make matters worse it must be the most awkward thing to change on the car as there in no room to get to it( if you have a look you will see what I meen!) I suggest that you spend half an hour or so checking thi out! ------------------

hi, i'm looking to purchase a 300zx and would like it if anyone could let me know if there is anything i should be looking out for as i have never owned one before. the car is a UK spec 1991 300ZX TT, man, 55K miles, 17"s, cruise, leather, cd, a/c, e/w, e/m, FSH & hpi, Private plates also. what sort of price should i be looking at?? thanks in advance Martyn

who owns the black zed looks very nice and puts out over 500bhp even the mag said it was one of the tastier cars at the cruise page 134 of may issue reg L*** ENA

thanks to those who organised slough meet, it was my 1st one, nice to meet & chat with you all. never seen so many zeds in one place if theres enough interest, may organise one my way in july/august, Ramsgate kent. seaside run anyone??? got a mate that runs a small hotel, could arrange reasonable cost B&B i expect. let me know what you think, Paul.

Finally got round to doing an ECU diagnostic following couple of weeks worth of random coolant boiling and subsequent discharge... Cleaned coolant temp sensor but no joy, but ECU is giving me code 13, so this confirms the thing is phucked. I know how to do it, I know the part number and I know the rough price (£20-£25?) but cos its an import, will Nelson still want to line their pockets with an additional £25 just to get me the price?? Or cos I know exactly what I want, can I avoid the ludicrous fee? The part number I have btw is from the Courtesy website so will this apply to this country also, or will this just be US? In short, where can I get one sharpish, a…

Well after how ever many months of sitting at home and having to listen to the 'happy talk' that goes on on this forum, I can quite happily say, I will not be coming on here again and nor do I want anything to do, anymore, with the shit that flies about here because of minor comments made that seem to be taken much too seriously by some parties. (Long sentence). I tried to join in with Mr T at first and really enjoyed it and was looking forward to going to loads of meets and if situation permitted, Billing. But to be quite honest, anyone who manages to talk technical stuff on here and gets a result good luck to you, afterall isn't what this forum is supposed to be abou…

OK, so we fancy a nice set of 18's on the beast . Fancy showing us what ya got? Need to get some ideas of what looks good on a zed. Oh yeah and if ur showing ur rims I would be grateful if u gave an idea of how much they would cost (with rubber). Thanks. P.S. I hope this comes near how popular the rogues gallery is

Drove down from Scotland. Did Droitwich, M40 saw one white Z T topless on M40, Tried the M25 car park and brake bedding in centre- you guys down there are nuts puttin up with that! Did Bexley Heath, Ramsgate, Hastings back to London dropped colleague at Lon City Apt then 400 miles on Friday evening back to Scottie land. Saw black Z with big rear wing heading southbound south of Nottingham M1. and a nice grey one further north with LIL on its plate. So nobody saw me then huh?

LMAO!

Having suspected my centre bearing for driveline vibration for some time I put it on ramps today, crawled under and took a looksee. The rubber part seems all intact but the prop is sagging and sitting on the ring support instead of bang centre where I think it should be. I can jack under the prop and raise it to where it looks right but it sags straight back down. Guess the rubber is perished and doing no damping whatsoever. Plus out of line prop will vibrate and vibs will transmit straight to body. Do I need a centre bearing support? I think yes. How much and does it come with a bearing or just rubber? I have the warm up and the vib between 40-50 went away but n…
