Here's a funny one. Ignition off, Light switch off. press the driving light switch, (3rd button down on right hand pod) lighting system behaves as if i have just turned the light switch on ??? i cant remember from my last Zed if this is "de rigueur" or bad wiring. Any comments. Rich

Hello Zedders, Anyone won a battle with their interior creaks and rattles? Mine seem to be more from the rear end of the Z and things just sound lose from a few places. Got meisters on and ride is harsh and I feel everything the car goes over. Going to look into loosening the suspension up a little but for interior, I'm getting ideas in my head to bother with stripping the whole interior and sticking some kinda foam for padding behind every panel and get everything tightly fitted on. Also getting to a point where I want to hear as less as possible from outside. Just read up on window rattles as I have that too. Anyone done such thing? Any ideas what stuff would…

Well seems that i sold the SWB TT other week .. thought i'd put another one bk on the road it was days from going to the scrap man anyways its got Custom Red Lethers / cards Split rim wheels Stainless exhaust nice body kit & Paint work Bad Points smashed screen Busted steering lock Dash pods and radio surround damaged due to being broken in to Auto box Problem As normal Brake discs rusty

Morning All. Just a few little jobs to go before MOT. Not an MOT issue but it's been annoying me for years. (Just searched and found an old post of mine from 2003 about it!) When I turn the wipers off, either from intermittent or main wipe they park at random places across screen. There seems to be no pattern to where they stop and usually take three or four attempts to park them properly. Help, It's driving me crazy! :)

has anyone on here had there center light panel done? buy done i mean that everyone seems to have a nice rear 99 spec rear tail lights looking nice and white and then you you have a look at the center panel they always just look to clear and dont match the rears. id aske anyone on here if, does there reverse light match the other lights ? im guessing a big fat NO . but thanks for bringing it to my attention. Oh please your all welcome. something eles to do whilst your cars looked away for the winter months. happy days

These are for someone on here, I picked them up from the couriers on Tuesday and here they are just before I packed them All the 3 pieces were or are in very good condition and well worth the expense of conversion, sure he'll be pleased :yes:. As you can see supplied with amber bulbs and EL invertor to light up the 300ZX. I like to think I do a good thorough job even getting rid of the wax in the lettering on the reflectors :thumbdown:. To this :thumbup1:. Even making sure all 3 tail units have these rubbers glued in place on the underside, nearly always some are missing :wink:.

As above, bottom one is dripping but top wont bleed, tried to pressurise it by blowing down where fliud goes but pushing pedal doing nothing...any advice please? Thanks

Anyone know if the large plastic tailgate panel inside is the same between swb and lwb or not? Cheers Jeff TT

Will 350z wheels fit a Z32? 18"

High Guys, still trying to get the ZED on the road, just tying up loose ends.. i've ordered a HID kit from phutumsch as one of my main bulbs blew, now to keep a set of working bulbs in case i upgrade (the car that is) i need a H3C bulb, Does any one have one kicking about they dont need, postage paid. Rich Looks like this

A big thanks to Jeff at Zedworld - My car wasn't running right and also had a steering problem with the hicas. After a visit to Jeff he has sorted out a fair few things and has gone above and beyond . He even fixed my noisy cabin fan for free which I had learnt to live with. She is now fixed and is purring and sooo responsive :) and to think I had thoughts of selling her before the trip to Zedworld . So thanks to you Jeff and Lynda for the hospitality and fixing my car :)

Removing my old exhaust today, this is one of the repair a previous owner had carried out.....

Well after a lot of thinking over the past few months I have made the decision to return my Z to it's original state asap......... The full veilside kit is going...... (Stop grinning Si!).........lol As this is the anniversary of the Z and I want to keep mine for a long while.... I want it back to showroom condition...... so I will be fitting standard bumpers, smoothing off the bootlid (No spoilers) and removing side skirts.... I keep looking at FunkySi's clean example of a Z and realised mine now needs a full respray asap.... I have got older and now want a more standard clean look...... Even the colour is going to change..... Not sure what colour yet as the ori…

Has been pretty uneventful really. its one of the best zeds ive ever owned in all honesty. and yesterday i took her for a MOT on a day that seemed nothing was going to go right and she passed. And only a few advisories this time, although last time she went through fine. just silly little things that i should of sorted before she went really. but on wards for another year of zedage.

Im sure ive asked before but to no avail.if or when i replace my fuel lines, what size and what is the best stuff to get braded wise .? How much should i buy .dont want to be cut short.and can it fit/go were the origanal lines are .? Or does it have to go through the car? Anyone done this to theres.dont want to pay out 500 quid to fit hard pipe.cheers .

Well, it's February, so the homeward slog toward spring and summer is upon us. Just March to do and then I'll tax my Z again for the beginning of April, so not long! The weather this year especially has made me glad my Z is in storage for the winter. Just awful. But it's also making me miss it as I do push it out of the garage from time to time to either work on it or give it a wipe down and I haven't even been able to do that as it's always been wet/raining! Even if it's cold, at least I can push it outside to tinker with. Anyone else counting the days? I do hope this miserable weather pattern breaks!

Hi all, Thanks to my super-human strength I've managed to rip off my bonnet release lever :( It snapped in half last summer but was still useable but today the other half of the plastic lever pull snapped off :( I'm pretty sure the cable itself is ok, just the handle which is fubared. Is there a way I can work round this and open the bonnet another way? I've no pressing urgency to open the hood but it would be nice to have that facility if I wanted it lol. Thanks! :) S.

Hello all, the abs light is staying on all the time, it's bein like this since I bought the car, done the diagnostics cheak and iam getting 1 flash, right front actuator solenoid, what exactly is this? Where do I go from here? Quick replys welcome as the car is pulled apart!

Nice story behind this! It looks to be in fabulous unmolested condition. No nasty bodykits or anything. Sure, it's an auto, but if I was on the hunt for another, I'd be sure to take a look at this at that price! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A-Formidable-Z32-Nissan-300ZX-Twin-Turbo-with-Full-History-and-an-Amazing-Tale-/281256996622?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item417c392f0e

Hey peeps, Been a while that my aerial has remained stuck open. I can hear the motor grinding when I turn on/off the headunit but no movement on the aerial itself. Not looking to use the radio in the Z anyway so am looking to disconnect its wires. Is it possible to somehow press the aerial back down??
