Hi I want the clips that sit either side of the lenses on the jap spec fog lights. Prefer to just purchase clips but willing to pay for fog lamp units as long as clips attached. Please see http://64.35.61.175/nissan300zxb.jpg for pic. Contact Martin on 07881 602000 or martin@farrin.co.uk Cheers

Not a major issue this one. trying to get all the minor niggles sorted on my Z, anyone know where I can get a replacenment dash clock from. i've heard from you guys before that its a common fault so a bit wary of getting one from a breakers. Any other clocks fit/work ? PS Hope the Brighton meet today went well. Bit peed orff as i only live 10 miles north of Brighton, but had other 'pressing' arranagements .... Glenn.

Guys, thanks to lymon, I reckon I know what happened to cause my radiator leak: 1) high temp fan did not come on 2) water started to boil, but radiator cap faulty, so didn't release pressure 3) radiator burst with pressure According to the warranty I have for the car, it covers every mechanical part (except for wear and tear). I've already had the water pump repaired under this (they wouldn't pay nissans 45/h..only 35, but still paid for the majority of it). I reckon this should be a valid repair too. What do you think ? 1) electrical system fault (fan) 2) mechanical fault (pressure valve of cap). Anyway, onto the next thing... My offside tu…

to any of you that are interested, in a previous post i was asking what oil everyone used...as the oil in my z was mobil 1 motorsport and at the time i was getting a rattle at about 2500 rpm that would not go away before changing the oil there was no rattle, basically do not use mobil 1 motorsport as this oil is shit? it is too thick......15/50 .....i have since changed this oil for valvoline 5/50 and this has made the engine purr.... so quite you would not believe the difference....so if you thinking of using mobil 1 motorsport...DON'T.........

does any one know, or is there any one in the forum with ride height adj suspension. can you get them from within the uk. who makes them for the 300 tt and how much approx.

Performance exhaust for 300zx na coupe, am also interested in other performance parts for sale.

ive got no rear lights no side lights no interior lights and my full beam is stuck on permenently. My horn fuse also keeps on blowing. Ive checked all fuses but cant find the in-line fuse for the sidelights. Any help much appreciated. Thanx

My poor little yoko avss need refurbished thanks to my dad 'doing me a favour' and washing my car at xmas... using washing up liquid. http://www.btinternet.com/~powerlord/car.html Basically ripped off all the polish on the wheels (outsides are just pure polished machined ali). First I knew was a week later, when I cleaned the car again.. 1 week of salt and brake dust and they're ruined. So need a good refurbishment place. I've had a word with: http://www.alloywheelrefurbishers.co.uk/ Pristine. They have a local dealer, so I can leave the car with them, and Pristine seem like they'd do a bit more than the 'acid bath and powder coat' shite most pla…

Right, also.. according to the manual the radiator should onlt need filling if the overflow is empty. Can I assume this is unless the radiator has a hole in it ? As the radiator is half empty (that'll be the hole), but there is still water in the overflow.....

Front offside... sqeaks all the time whenever it moves. This is probably bad, but thought I'd check, just in case there's a simple cure.

The fan in front of the radiator (i.e. front of car between small cooler (oil cooler ?) and first big radiator (intercooler??)). Is that supposed to be on all the time ? Just noticed while I was looking for the radiator leak, that only the back one (nearest engine) is spinning. I'm wondering if it's this that has caused the overheating/boiling of water and pressure increase that has caused the radiator leak in the first place ? Again, I seem to have a relay for it, but can't see a fuse.

This happened a few years ago.. thing sort of got stuck.. it's just a little below the middle. The turbos are still working.. I can hear/feel them fine. Last time it was intermittant, and I the NISSAN dealer 'fixed' it for 80 quid !!. Anyway, was working until today, when I've been working on the car (radiator leak), and had the battery disconnected. Since reconnecting, it's stuck. I've tried disconnecting (doesn't move) and reconnecting with no success. I don't know if there is a fuse for this (my in cabin fuse box is all in japanese, but all fuses look ok). Any ideas ?

I was talking to Luke who said to avoid Jap auto gearboxes failing, I should fit an oil cooler under the radiator. Has anyone done this and what sort of oil cooler did you use?. He siad not a week goes by without someone looking for a rebuild.

Can anyone recommend replacement shocks brand and supplier for 300 TT. Thanks

NEWS ABOUT SE In response to some highly inaccurate information posted on the forum, I will try to illuminate the situation regarding the name change of Silvia Engineering to SE-Nissan. Firstly and most importantly – SE are not “in trouble” our current sales, bookings, productivity and profitability are better than ever. In fact the only real problem we have at the moment is simply keeping up with the demand for our products and services, which anyone booking work in will testify to. Secondly - we are not looking for buyers! No aspect of our existing operation will change as the result of this change in legal entity. As for the name change – well it is s…

I'm after a Z. It will probably be an import (since most of them seem to be). My current insurance company won't touch them. Any recommendations? (especially for ones happy about the traction control mod, which I'll almost certain add as soon as I get my Z...) This will be a third car, so I could manage with a low-ish mileage restriction. P.

I have a 1989 grey TT for sale. It needs a bit of TLC but it could get someone there first 300zx. if they are prepared to spend a bit of time and money on her. It needs tyres, the front bumper needs painting. it's running a bit lumpy but only a bit. I drive it so it's not a disaster. It has leather seats but there is a hole in the drivers one. It also has a big bore Exhaust system ( think HKS)and a turbo timer HKS, 320 km/h clocks,mot until Jan, Everything work properly A/C & cruise ect. I'm asking £3500 ovvvno. The car is in daily use, if someone is looking for a Z and hasn't got £5 or £6 grand in one go them this is ideal. I'm going away o…

Hi guys, Who's been watching 'The Bill' then? Who saw the red zed at the beginning??? Just thought I'd share this with you guys!!! Have a great Bank Holiday weekend, Andy

I cannot guarantee that yours is the same fault as on my Z but it is worth a try, last september my Z started over heating, I could see steam/water from the passenger side of the car in the area of the overflow bottle around the wheel arch and then back under the floor pan. Again similar symptons of the header bottle being full but the rad was empty. After several attempts to remedy the situation with out success I changed of all things the radiator cap and all the temperature/water loss went away.

well, called the TRAX people today, and they have allocated all of the track time. he tried to tell me it was first come first served, until i reminded him of the fact that he ASSURED me, when i called in March, that he would hold my booking until mid May.... i was one of the first people to call this year and pre-book it, and i also called in April to re-confirm. they are waiting for Silverstone to confirm some extra tracktime, and he will call me tuesday or wednesday, as soon as he knows, to let me know if we have the time or not. I can still go ahead and book the entry tickets, which i will most likely do when he confirms whether there is any time o…

am i right in thinking the jap spec z didnt come with intercoolers because if it didnt then im now a happy man as ive been to look at my car today and found two nice little intercooler jobbies

I can't stand it anymore. I going nutz. I MUST SORT OUT THE SIDE WINDOW RATTLES !!!! They rattle when up or down, clunk, rattle, clunk. NE1 been brave enough to tackle this job yet. According to a few members on TT.Net there are a few common parts that wear which cause the rattles. Very cheap from Courtesy Nissan. Andy

When i bought my Jap Z, the speedo that the garage fitted only reads to 110MPH. They put it in because they couldn't get the converter chip working on the original speedo. What does the UK one read to and is it easy to swap? The odemeter is also still in kilometers. Can I swap this too? Anyone got any spares if so?

After cleaning every sensor connector I could get to and the throttle bodies yesterday my Zed seems to be running much better. It was very helpful all the info on the net on how to do these checks. Better than letting Nissan do it for 42.00 Per Hour. The coolant temp sensor was completely shot to bits. A new one is on the way at a cost of £18.50. The car is going to Ancastor nissan for Darren to give it a check over. Hopefully he can resolve this faulty detonation sensor problem. They could not sort it until the end of the month as Darren is getting married next week. GOOD LUCK M8. My wedding is due next month so I guess the party ends there for me!! Thanks fo…

Just wishing JEZ300Z boy good luck, He's in front of de law today for a maaasssiivvveee speeding conviction. 112mph, not bad though...respect man. If you do the crime you gotta do the time! Hope they go eaZy on you fella! Let us know how you got on... Tim ;-|
