So for the past week the car hasn't been giving out any heat, Its been off the road since beginning of October due to failing its MOT. I finally got a pass and started driving it again to find it wont blow hot air. This may have been a longer problem as I wouldn't have noticed it during the summer, it was definatly warm last winter. Using the service manual (http://www.300zx-twinturbo.com/cgi-bin/manual.cgi?list=ha&slide=125) I found the sensors 52 & 55 have open circuits leading me to diagnostic 6 & 12. I decided to start at 6 and got stuck, (http://www.300zx-twinturbo.com/cgi-bin/manual.cgi?list=ha&slide=142) I cant seem to find where the senso…

Hi guys Ive got the plenum off my car at the moment to replace the injectors, I’m going for the Nismo 740cc. Now my harness is in a really poor state and really could do with replacing. Obviously I’m going to go with the “95 harness but I don’t know if it’s a job that’s beyond me. It looks reasonable accessible now, has anyone got any experience with changing these at home. I know Jimmer can do it with the engine in but can us mortals manage it? Have we got a guide anywhere? Ive already got a late CAS unit to go in and I can buy the S2 PTU when I do pull the trigger. Is there anything else to consider? Cheers, Chris.

Two years ago I paid him £6k to build me a wide bodied 300zx with off road desert spec, I wanted to take it to the deserts of Spain to blast it. Anyway, Dasstech is no more and I cannot find him. I wont go into the details, but essentially, I'd like to find him again to see if he will do the right thing and build me the car I paid for. I saved for ages to be able to have the money to build that car. Before anyone writes back and tells me I'm a mug for giving anyone money up front, believe me I know I've been a mug, just he seemed really passionate about the project anyway. If any of you know him, please reach out to him for me. I'm not trying to get my money ba…

Hi People, First post for me... Can anyone advise if there is a company that will convert a convertible Auto transmission into a TT Manual Transmission. the next question would be what this is likely to cost? Many Thanks! Tom

Hi all please can anyone advise the correct bulb for my jdm front fog lights ? many thanks

Just received my order from CPZ two new fog light lenses and top and bottom oem radiator hoses. After 27 years I think new hoses would be a good thing and the fog light will be brighter.

Ok, Some of you have been enormously helpful with resolving the misfire of my car. Thank you! and shout out to Jim @PowerZed who supplied an ECU next day. Next problem is after having the car dry stored for a few years then had the MOT done. Took it to a different place where it failed. the car had done almost no miles since the previous. Below is the fail points. Ignore the light bulbs, fog light, tyres and number plate.... I wanted some advice. feel free to chime in with any feedback. I want to get the car back on the road cheaply for now as I am out of work due covid and sold our other cars. The main question I need to know is can I do this work mysel…

Hello my fellow 300zx owners! I just recently bought 1996 NA edition and there are some things to figure out. I have no mechanical background whatsoever so please be gentle :D So I have done all the basic maintenance and some repairs including replacing knock sensor, spark plugs, engine belt, new braking system etc. Now the main problem is this rattling sound and losing power at around 2000-2500 rpm. Has anyone heard this kind of sound before and have any idea where to start looking? I cleared all the error codes with obd II bluetooth device so I attaced the picture of the codes before clearing. After clearing all the error codes the only code that popp…

Can one of the moderators please help me. I’m trying to find my old journal I created on here over 10 years ago. its got some important info on my Zed build. Infact most of the info on my build. For example which brake discs I used for my custom brake setup. I’m not sure whether I used the r32 or r33 discs. I’ve got Porsche Calipers which I had fabricated to fit. I need new discs and need the info so I know which type of disc to buy.

Starting to lose my rag now- trying to install my copy of Conzult on Win10 upgrade. Worked fine on Win7 on another PC. Now despairing as apparently installs, but when I try to open, comes up with Exception EReadError in module conzult.exe at 0001A4C7. Error reading comportset.ComProperty: Registry error (win error code:2). I know we have some serious techies on here- which I am not- and hope you can advise! What have I done wrong? Anyone else have a problem? Is there an update for Conzult?- as OBD etc seem to say it works OK with Win10. Hate Win10 now- wouldnt have moved from Win7 if they hadnt forced me! Dave ??

Hi everyone Has anyone had an airbag wheel recovered ? Can you recommend a firm and advise rough costs ? Many thanks for all as always Mark

Please can someone advise the original source vehicle for the chrome door handles that also fit the 300ZX ? many thanks Mark

Seen this 300zx for sale on ebay and its very lets say personalized rather than modified. But what made my jaw drop was the front grill I know a bird can sometimes fly into your grill but to have one flying out of it was something else. I think I know now why Funkysi sold his Z and this would definitely send him over the edge of reason.

Are there any OEM style bushes available for the suspension? I hate polybushes with a passion (although I am aware I will need to get them for the subframe as there is no other option). So aside from Nismo bushes and ES/Whiteline/SuperPro polybushes are there any other options? (I'm prepared to go for Nismo, but want to look and explore all the alternatives before committing.

Looking for the font for the 300ZX logo, would anyone happen to have it or know where I can get it? Have a customer asking me to make him a 300ZX sign. Thanks in Advance!

hi guys looking at changing my ecu chip over the winter, I currently have a jap map in mine which seems to be overfilling on the over run (popping from exhaust) although the car runs ok, I want to get rid of the boy racer 'pop' I've come across turbonoz stage 1 chips, couple of questions are these any good? and they list 2 for a manual t/t one standard and one listed as a jwt, descriptions on both are exactly the same so anyone got any idea of the differences? the other option is I have my old zed currently for parts, which has a chip in I bought from a club member around 16/17 years ago, not sure if this was a Jim Dixon chip (or a modified version) but I always had an au…

Hi all Didn't have the equipment to pull the engine out so I'm removing the drivers turbo whilst the engine is in the car. Everything is off except the manifold heat shield to access the manifold nuts, cant seem to figure out how to remove it. Its loose but it wraps around the front of the manifold and wont squeeze past the turbo intake. It's a 1993 jap import. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi All, Looking for a decent winter cover, Cars in a sheltered driveway so not really bothered about the wind. TIA.
