Are unmolested twin turbo automatic 2 plus 2 imports good sellers? Mine is completely original including owner manual & targa bags with 98000 kilometres on clock. New cambelt etc 2 yrs ago - done 500 miles since.

The remains of my 4th and final slicktop were loaded up and shipped out on Friday last week. It's been a blast but time to move on............

Does anyone know where this plug /socket goes to / from ? It's in passenger footwell. 2x red 1x white 1x blue White plug with yellow top.

My zed is near completion, I guess my insurance company need to know? also do I have to inform DVLA that my zed is now a manual? Not related! Before the work started I couldn’t get the key out of the ignition & it is still there & it will not come out! When it was an auto, when you put the shifter in park & turn the ignition off it would click then the key would release. Any body had this problem with the zed? Art

Hi all. Not sure if many still remember me, it’s been a good 10+ years since I’ve been on here. Just been looking at getting a zed again maybe ?. What’s the zed scene like these days? Who’s about that’s good to work on them and get parts? Used to use Jeff @ zedworld and Zcentre for my old zed. Also I’ve seen an Impul on eBay for £12k what’s peoples opinion on this? I would really be looking at getting it converted to manual though.

Probably one of the most documented Z32's the SCC series of articles published in the late '90s covered many aspects of tuning a road going Z32 including engine, drivetrain, suspension and brakes. The series were a blueprint on how to build a Z32 back in the day and helped the community with the development of an extensive aftermarket parts market. https://motoiq.com/1995-z32-300zxtt/ An example of the depth covered in the SCC series is in the link below. https://motoiq.com/engine-tech-building-the-nissan-vg30dett-part-1/

A nice read. https://jalopnik.com/ridley-scott-made-a-super-bowl-ad-for-nissan-that-was-s-1845385841?fbclid=IwAR1_MBTPQcYODEHvGKQ3nGoqFmablXtWBEOH_KgSEhbH00gwThGPiw6gCSg

Hi all, I’ve got a completely random issue here. Yesterday I noticed when I parked car at work (with headlights off) that my reverse lights are stuck on, then I engaged reverse and back to neutral then they turned off. Tonight I went out and as soon as I turned headlights on, the reverse lights are stuck on. I reversed a couple time’s and went forward and back on my driveway to see if it was the switch getting stuck engaged, but it didn’t turn off, nor during my ten minute journey. For the past week I’ve also had a very wet drivers side floor under the carpet, I can feel it’s drenched. I’m assuming the bottom of the front targa drain has become disconnected and drain…

Not sure if anybody has seen this weeks show but they have finally done a z32, was quite funny though they picked up a used zorst then in later shots it had a brand new stainless system, they also let slip they fitted new suspension that they never listed in the parts bought ??

Hi all, could anyone please help with my search for a suitable 80mm bung for a pressure test tool? Also where did everyone get the other parts like dial etc. Cheers. Just chasing a problem.

I was going to change my thermostat the other day but I ended up knocking the yellow wire out of the terminal it was in. I noticed the cooling fan was now running fast. I pushed the yellow wire back in and restarted and the fan was running normal again. I found this vw plug so I soldered the wire together and plugged it on. The fan started running fast again. Drove it for about 10 minutes and it all sorted its self out. Today went out in it revs are at 1500 and won’t settle down. Tap the accelerator the res drop feels like it wants to cut out. I noticed when I got to where I was going I could smell a eggy smell. Switched the engine off and it wouldn’t restart. Le…

Hi Ive remove my front bumper I've got a 99 spec bumper an indicator to fit the bumper do I have to remove the engine under tray an intercooler duck also do ihave to remove the front support bar that holds the front fog light is it different from the 99 spec thanks

Sorry to ask! How do I add photos ? Art

So basically the cats have started to crumble (as the standard exhausts do on these) so theres a blow in the exhaust, I have downpipes and test pipes (all new gaskets, stud, nuts etc are with them) sitting around that I bought a while ago to do the work. My questions are: 1. If I were to fit the test pipes that I have sitting around, would they fit straight onto the standard downpipes? . 2. If the test pipes don't fit (even if they do), can the downpipes be replaced without having to pull the engine? My Zed is a 1993 manual twin turbo, UK spec 2+2. Cheers in advance for any help.

Hi Can anyone offer any advice on how to realistically Value a Zed for a selling Price and is Ebay the best Media to use, i have had a look on there and they seem to be going for quite a high price. Also i presume you would not achieve a fair price if you Part Exchange. Simon

The electrical sleeve to the gearbox speed sensor (1991 auto) has split and one wire is severed, everything seems to be working except the HICAS light is on. Has anyone come across this before. I will not have a chance to repair and see what happens for a few weeks but am curious.

The arm of the HICAS is impacting the edge of the rear rims (18”) when operating. The car has been in storage for some time and during that time had adjustable coil overs fitted. Does anyone have any advice on how this can be solved a) increase the ride height, b) fit wheel spacers, c) change rims (want to avoid that one).

Hi guys new here just got a twin turbo 300zx Jap import, automatic. On a g registration 1990 I believe. It ran like a lawn mower misfiring so I currently have the intake apart ect I’m looking at putting new oem injectors in just wondered if anyone knew of a set or am I better upgrading them ? If so what’s involved ect. Also while the intake plenum is out am I better deleting the egr and coolant lines as many do ? Any help and advice while I’m there is greatly welcome and appreciated. Note: I’m renewing the valve and cam cover gaskets while there [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all been trying to contact this guy as need some work doing but phone is dead.Anyone have any luck contacting him?.Phone was ok last week.

Back again to ask you guys for a bit more help. Got my Zed back today with a new mot but seems to have a bad stuttering issue when it reaches 2500rpm in all gears, the revs also hunt a bit too on idle and this seems to happen when both cold and up to temp. Cars a manual UK TT. Any advice would be appreciated

Japanese Performance Car Club NI got together with PhoenixFilm to put together a video of the Japanese car scene in Northern Ireland/Ireland. This took place on Sunday so we are all waiting to see the final cut of the film. Here are some teasers to keep you going. Watch this space. ?

Right, I’ve got a late spec NA long block split and ready for a clean and rebuild sat here. I was keeping it for myself to rebuild as a fully forged TT as it’s a perfect candidate, but it’s not going to happen any time soon and to be honest I want to free up the space so I’m going to sell it. I will start a proper listing with pictures etc but I wanted to gauge interest on the format of its sale, ie either to sell as a long block or short block and heads separated etc. What’s here; A late spec VG30DE short block, this has the NA oil squirters you’d want for forged pistons and is set up to hold the turbo oil lines etc. The bores are clean with the OEM honing still…
