For being the only two people I know that have successfully carried out a single turbo conversion on their Z's!!! Joke guys!!! Me ------------------

Hi everyone, Just wondered if anybody can help us out. I am just on the verge of submitting quotes to the insurance company for the acid damage to my car. The insurance assessor valued my ZX at £5700 and he said that they will write off the car at 70% of that amount i.e. £3990. Most of the quotes I have are greater than that for the work required.I am looking for an official valuation of my car, it was an immaculate K reg, 1992, Twin Turbo, Series1, manual, leather, executive pack, UK car with 98 K on the clock full Nissan service History, bought in May 2001 for £7200. I am about to forward a load of adverts and the Parkers Guide (who value the car at 6850)to the…

Is nobody buying Fords or Vauxhalls anymore or what??? Just been out for some lunch and over the road at the garage is a lovely red Z just like mine parked up and waiting for some attention I presume. Now have a gorgeous silver Soup at work aswell parked in the car park every day! He's just had his windows blacked out which looks the bollox with a silver car. Walking back to the car after getting a sarnie and an even nicer dark blue coloured Soup with private plate L** BYE...LMFAO...rolls passed me. Also some guy at work has got a lurvellllyyyy black Z with 19's on I think. Soon they're gonna be common as shite, fucking Nova boys will have rarer c…

Bob, I've got a Gemini 1160R alarm on the Z, probably fairly old now. Key fob controller is more than a bit ropey, can you get a new one and if so how much mate??? ------------------

I have just received a stunning set off Magnesium Alloys to suit all Z32 Models!! These wheels are beautiful, very highly polished almost like chrome! Send me your e-mail address for pics!!

my hicas light comes on and stays on after about five mins. its not my power stearing fluid level what can it be. had car for over a year now it has always happend..jap import,T.T auto.

I have always said tight is rite! It may not be prety but it works, also put tweeters in the back too

Every time I pull off hard and foot down. My clutch smells. But it aint slipping after 4000 rpm in 1st it ends in wheel spin so there is nothing wrong with the clutch that way. But is the bad smell a sign of it going?

Hi guys, What does it mean when there's oil in the driver's side PCV hose? Surely that can't be good .... Cheers, Danny

Right as some of you are aware I've tracked my oil leak down! Looking at the service manual which shows great diagrams of the oil flow round the motor, it would appear to be the Turbo oil feed return to the sump as somebody else suggested! So I've booked it into my very local Nelson Mandella for Saturday morning. Errr, this is not the Abergele Nissan dealer who are OK with 300's but I'm talking Dukes of Anglesey County Nissan Main Delia! GULP! These guys have real trouble booking you in using English FFS!!! I've told them I know where the leak is coming from, all they have to do is assess and order the relevant part(s) needed to fix it. OK they sai…

Hey all any tips on regrinding the 24 valves??!!! just wanted to know if there is any surefire way of knowing you have done it right. i thought as the engine is apart i may as well do it. 24 valves, how boring?!!! still i worked out that if i start on a monday, do 2 valves a day, then i can have sunday off!!!!!! LOL Latz

My 91 Jap 300zxtt has always eaten the inside edge of tyres and I finally got around to getting a full steering geometry check done. Was told that the camber is -2.5/-3.0 degs out and that there is no camber adjustment on the multi-link suspension. They suggest getting plates made up to attach between the wheel arch and the upper arm to move the top link out until it sits at the correct -0.5 degs. Anyone got a better answer? JN

Finally picked up my car From SE yesterday after 4 weeks of waiting, but let me tell you it was worth the wait. Not only did they sort out my non starting problem, they even put back my alarm system which was diconnected without me having to ask them, they also gave me a discount for it being so long and they even washed the car, I was astounded. The Upgrade chip has made a big difference to performance, getting about 340 bhp @ 11psi, it feels more!! I definitly "Enjoyed the Ride" on the way back. Blew away my first victim, a Scooby came right up my arse and flashed his lights, I pulled over, planted my foot, the car jumped from 40 to 100 in a few seconds and the Scooby…

A few days ago my 300zx radiator exploted. motor verheting happens & I already change it. Two days later the Dealer told me water temperature readings were very high (240F). I order to chage the temperature sensor, and now the temp niddle appears in the lower position. Any idea, anybody knows what's the normal niddle position or temperature?. (and why my radiator could exploted?) ------------------

Seriously it must be me, this past week has been shit, first myrear main bearing seal goes, which i replace. Then it goes again!!!, this was due to gunked up pvc valves which i had reaplced. so i had it done again. Then after i get it back, it starts peeing tranny fluid everywhere- like a bloody tap!!!!!!! SO....... in it goes again- new bushes and seals on the box and its back on the road. Then i spend an hour getting rid of the tar stuck to my car!!! After a good run i notice two things 1) its not kicking down correctly 2) ive got a wheel balance problem!! I disconected the battery to reset the brain for the gearbox and let it learn again. everthing ok i guess. …

just out of curiosity i was wondering how many of these 667 members actually own zeds. i appreciate that some on here are enthusiasts, ex zed owners and such like and fair play to you for still comming on here and showing an interest. i also realise that some have just registered once to sell their cars, so is it worth having a poll ie a topic of .. whos got a zed?.. and people posting a reply if they have. it would probably result in the highest number of posts on a thread (except maybe the cannonball slagging match lol) but it would be interesting to see how many do have one. Also would a group of a big enough size be able to be officially called a club,(im thinking…
