As above all, trying to remove the N/S front drop link managed to get one off the nuts nearly all the way off then the inner one started to spin in the spanner & is now nearly rounded off. The one at the ARB end isn't budging :-( Any helpful tips or advice? Cheerz J

In relation to my other tread think it was uncalled for locking the tread up like that. It was a genuine question and not a for sale tread. I did look on line for a guide price for these alloys but had no luck. The fact I live in Ireland should be proof enough that I wasn't going to sell a set of alloys and tires on a uk site with shipping costs etc any way, rant over. Il get subbed up again shortly but not for selling

When I bought my Z, it had a 2 stack JVC head unit as can be seen below - this was waayyy before re-trim time and was exactly how I had it when I bought it - I was lucky enough to have some studio photos taken of my car for Japanese Performance magazine. It was actually an OK system, but because it was Japanese supply, no RDS and the frequencies were at a different range, so it had to go - plus I didn't really want a tape deck anymore! I went out and bought an Alpine IVA-W200RI touchscreen and ordered a double-din fascia from z32-zone in Japan - the first and only one of these to be fitted over here that I am aware of - this was back in 2008, long before …

Getting a set of alloys refurbed, there nearly done just need to put the bolts back on the rims and get the tires back on, what do you guys think there worth when finished? There 17's Impul rs and will be mint when finished.

Hi, I've had to pull the plenum for a second time because I stupidly missed a hidden hose. To get to it I had to remove the hard pipe that the heater hose goes in to. It's the one with two 10mm bolts by the EGR. The question is do I need any sealant between the pipes when refitting. There is no gasket and didn't seem to be any sealant residue there. Cheers

Ok so whilst waiting for my Zed to come back home, the only part of the car I have is the front bumper. I have been contemplating with the filling in of the 2 holes for the driving lights in the front bumper, as I think they date the car a bit. To my mind filling them in would make the front of the car less cluttered. (Number plate removal would be even better, lol) My car below, black Zed without holes (and number plate) What do you guys think? Any opinions welcome!

Saw you heading down Whitchurch road as i was on the way to work. Was it you lee? In another zed :lol:

I've searched and searched but haven't found what I'm looking for so... ...can anyone show me, in pictures, where the two lines for an oil catch can go on the VG30 engine please??

Hi Guys, have a little problem, my zed is finally back together but i still have the problem of the gearbox not getting past 2nd. Some of the finger pointing has been at the Gearbox ECU. The Car is a NA Auto, the box got swapped with a TT box, ( lectures later) So what i'm after is a Zed owner nearby who wouldn't mind "lending" me his ECU whilst i take it up the road for a test. I suppose na or TT prob wouldn't matter just to prove a point. Now i live just south of cambridge, in a village called Meldreth, so i'll let you make the decision whether to come or not. Many Thanks Rich

Hi all, finally got round to fitting my Meisters, when removing my n/s front Ohlins i found a broken/split gasket on the top mount. Just wondering if i need to put a new gasket in place before fitting my Meister R's? Cheerz James

Hi all, I just wanted to take a couple of mins to send a massive and sincere thanks to Lee Dent and Ian (300ZX_666) for helping me out today after I wrote my Zed off on the M6 on Monday :( Unfortunately I think it's safe to say that the car isn't worth repairing but I'm extremely grateful for Lee and Ian's help in getting the car back to Lee's where it can be checked over to see what options I've got with the parts. Thankfully no one was hurt but I feel like I've let everyone down on this forum for being involved in yet another Zed being taken off the road. And Lee put hours and hours of work into the car last year... I'm truly gutted and devastated that I'…

Will a uk rear bumper fit the import model ok. I'm bidding on one on the bay and just thought are they interchangeable???

As a follow up to my jasma code thread, what exhaust is this? As mentioned before it has sr 051 622 on the plaque.

Hi everyone, I have just bought my first 1992 Nissan 300zx tt UK model in manual and would like to spend some money doing her up, the rear tailgate has no spoiler as it's been flushed does any one know where I could buy a rear spoiler like a remake / copy of the original one or even better one with no center light and I need a decent pair of side skirts please help as I'm fairly new to the scene. One other question the rear plastic perspex stripe that sits in between the rear lights and spoiler the lettering Nissan and twin turbo is missing how do I replace that?

is there a particular reason why my auto box dislikes the cold seems to take ages to go through the gears until the car warms up sometimes goes right up to 3000 revs before the last change

I notice he's been a bit sporadic round these parts recently, what's the best way to contact him aside from FB which I'm an objector of lol

And another pass....:hyper: Richard:dance:

This car came up for sale on here a few years ago. Just wondering what became of it? Strangely, I like it and always have....I am not adverse to bodykits and never have been, just the commonly accessible horrors that appear all the time....are just that....all that there ever seem to be! Anyway, having a conversation with someone on facebook about it and wondered what became of it? I have a feeling it might have been exported back to Japan, but I'm not too sure. It's quite a special car and was Explosion's own Demo car. I guess Jeff might now?

Hi guys i brought some fuel hose to replace all under bonnet fuel lines but its a smaller internal diameter to fit on pipe unions fuel filter etc does any one know the correct internal diameter for a zed thought it was standard thanks taff .

Don't ask me why but when I got home from work this evening I had a look to see what exhaust I actually have on my zed. It is a single exit jasma with the code/numbers 051 622. I did a little search on Google and apparently 051 is the number for hks, but what is the other code/number?

Having never owned a car previous to the Z with anything coming close to a convertible or even a sunroof, I'd been itching to go a drive with the targas off since buying it four months ago. With the BBC predicting a decent bit of sunshine today I chanced it on my journey home and all I'm thinking now is how much I love my car. Never thought taking the targas off would make a normally mundane 12 mile commute that fun, even in traffic! Got a few comments when I was reassembling the roof from passers-by about how nice it looks (as well as the usual mpg questions obviously). No real purpose to this post other than to rant about my love for the Z! (and I apologise fo…

Hi everyone, I got the green light from Groover to start this thread. Ive been doing some research and found that buying certain items from the states works out cheaper for myself. The added benefit to that is I can get up to 20% discount on almost everything relating to cars. Since most parts and companies are based in California and my brother in law lives there now so he is my eyes and ears there who is also the reason why I get the discount. Its something that Id like to offer anyone who is interested. As most of you aware I will be moving abroad but I will still be on the forum and I can give my contact details. For now I will ask for 5 members to put the…

Hi guys got a problem with my front seat used to work but suddenly stopped. Took seat out and checked wiring seems ok and there's voltage to the main wire and switches when plugged in. Motors you think? Or is there a fuse somewhere? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
