GuyZ & GalZ: Apologies for hijacking this forum to flog non Zed related articles but I need to sell quick and wanted to offer it to you first! Nokia 3310 (original box - never used) Dual band phone (i.e., open to all networks) No contract (currently off air) Charger Hands-free earpiece with remote accept/disconnect button Leather carry case Additional Xpress-on cover All this can be yours for the measly sum of £80 incl. postage anywhere in the UK Also available: a genuine Nokia leather hip carry case for a Nokia 7110. These are difficult to come by and this particular item has never been used and is still in the original (unopened) pack…

How can I accurately measure/adjust the boost my car is running at? It is currently set via two bleed valves under the bonnet. Does this need to be done by a specialist or can I do it myself?

Hi guys, I'm asking this question on behalf of my best friend in Holland who's also got a Zed but isn't on this forum ... His car (a '91 US spec TT manual 2-seater) is running perfectly fine but he's noticed that the viscous fan comes on quite regularly and very loudly. I know from experience that mine rarely comes on unless I'm bombing down the motorway on a very hot day (and lets face it ... that only happened once since I've owned my Zed ) He doesn't do very long journeys in the car and doesn't drive it very often (has a company car). The car also doesn't seem to overheat at all. Nothing else seems to be wrong with the car but as he's not very technical he w…

Guys, Am after some front fogs and side lights (As Jap spec) for UK Z. Cheers, Matty.

I have just placed an order for a set of four drilled Brembo disks for $370 that’s £261.61 including shipping from Canada, been told to allow 8 weeks shipping though. For anyone interested his email address is 944t@accessv.com

A quickie for those of you who asked me for the Stillen Bumpers. Looking to get final idea on numbers so I can quote. Thanks Johnny

Does anyone know any good companies for de-cat pipes for the zed, and how much? How much bhp do they give on standard boost?

I have a Cobra 7928 Alarm in my Zed. It is apparently universally compatable with central locking systems, does anyone have the wiring diag for how to hook it up? The page I do have says to refer to Diagrams 3 to 6, whatever they may be. Cheers guyz Tim

While I'm hogging the top two slots on the tech-page, now is probably the best time to post my next question : My Z has zero rust on it - apart from ONE structural member. However I can't find it in FAST - (The Nissan parts CD for the un-familiar). Its the metal section that sits directly below the radiator / air-con heat exchanger / oil cooler. (About 10cm deep, and runs the width of the car, between where the tie-rod bushes are). (The bottom skirt amongst other things is fixed to it) Can anyone identify a part number? Coz mine is MEGA 'king rusty - I mean *really bad*, could probably poke a screwdriver through it in places! Cheers you all most …

Just got this from Easytrack. We’re running a day with the SIDC club at BRANDS HATCH on SUNDAY 24th Feb.

I've just got an autometer boost gauge (thanks Smithy!) but I'm having a bit of trouble fitting it. The gauge doesn't come with vacuum hose, it comes with 1/8" NPT hose and connectors like this - I found a US web site and a discussion on tt.net that showed a place that the autometer hose will just screw into So, I've just been out to connect my gauge to this point and found that I have something connected to it already - What is it? And why does my jap spec have it but the US specs don't seem to? [This message has been edited by Dave Marley (edited 11-02-2002).]

Was it you I spotted in Weston-Super-Mare driving past Tesco's last night? Red Z, rear spoiler, I think it was lowered and alloyed but it was pissing down and I only had Z headlights (come to think of it, it could've been a Micra) ------------------

ROOF OFF I THINK But its cold But who cares

Ok, as some of you may know my engine is still in approx 200 pieces in my garage - while the bottom end gets rebuilt. (For those of you that don't know - its in about 200 peices in my garage ) In the meantime I've had loads of time to think about the rest of the work that I want to do, but can't decide whether or not it would be beneficial to remove the EGR system. Now, as far as I'm concerned its 99% there for emissions reasons, and only 1% to keep the temperature down in the detonation zone. Whilst digging through all the rides section last night i noticed some of you have had this done. I'm sure that if I remove the EGR system, I won't suffer from…

Anyone own a Grey Zed with a personal plate 2XT something or other, was parked in Prudential car park 250 Euston Road on Friday? Any takers? ------------------ John (S14a 200sx)

Does anyone happen to know where this is in the service manual? I spent hours last night looking through every section, and I just can't find it.. But plenty of posts on TTnet say it's in there.. D'oh..

Does anyone know? Have any of you upgraded your fuel pumps? If so what to? And what did you do with your old one? Jezz.

Was it you? I was travelling southbound, and passed 2 zeds travelling northbound at about 2 - 2.30. Ajay, this is your stomping ground isn't it? Tim

Anyone got any interior plastic trim bits not really needed, but in TAN colour only, cheers smithy

Good news for anyone who needs parts for their Z. I've just got another complete Z to dismantle. Its a 1991 J reg 300ZX twin Turbo manual with black leather. I'm sure someone will be wanting the complete leather interior ????????? I hope people will bear me in mind when they need parts. At least 50 of the 300ZX.CO.UK memebers have bought from me over the last 9 months, so I'm sure the parts from the new Z won't sit around in my garage for too long :-) I'd also like to thank this websites owners/administrators for running an excellent site and I hope to be a Z owner/driver myself again this summer. Just in case you don't remember, I had to dismant…
