Hi All, After 5 years on my drive and to be honest not the best care for my zed, then with a great deal of help from members of this site my zed is back on the road today yippee, I would just like to thank all for their help and as I said before please don't scrap your motor. Cheers

Anyone know the paint code for the S2 black (straight black and not the pearl):winkiss:

All just a quick question, does anyone know where the best place to take my zed to have the sill repaired/replaced? I live near petersfield which is about halfway between Portsmouth and Guildford Many thanks Dan

The catch on my boot doesn't hold the boot shut, does anyone know what the problem may be or will it just be a new catch?

I'm going to retrim the interior of my zed over Christmas. Last time I bought a roll of alcantara but have seen this on eBay from America. Has anyone ever used this before & was it any good? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281199674356?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Z32s are now in the Honest John "Classics" guide! http://classics.honestjohn.co.uk/reviews/nissan/300zx-z32/ Apart from the factual errors (can you spot them?) it is nice to see our cars in the guide. The "buying guide" has a good one on manuals vs autos whilst the "running" section has links to both this club and the Zclub. The HJ site also has a section on Z32 MOT results: http://good-garage-guide.honestjohn.co.uk/mot/nissan/300zx You can drill down for each year ('89 to '94) and see failure rates by item on the test. Gives you something to think about before you have your own Zed MOT'd.

Few more bits arrived today for the winter overhaul of the back end. Big thanks go to Clark Motorsport for speedy delivery and an excellent price.

as many of you guys now my car had a pulling issue that I have tried to sort out was about to give up and today I fitted my 18inch rays wheels for the first time the car has stocl wheels on it in all the time I had it. any how fitted the 18inch wheel went and got a wheel aligment and the car now drives straight and isn't pulling the pulling issue turns out to be the front tyres all along its be a total night mere any how its fixed and the few other issues I has abs issue and clunking are now fix to with the help of a member off here who very kindly gave up a sunday afternoon to help me fix the issue thanks bri that's was very kind

To cut a long story short, in a bizarre set of circumstances I have managed to trash my Ariel with my garage door! My question is, can I just replace the telescopic section or will I have to swap out the whole unit? Whichever option it has to be, can anyone explain how to go about it please?

I've been doing a NA diff conversion over the summer. The diff came without the 2 studs in the rear of the housing. So I got 2 M14x2.0 35mm bolts. I've fitted solid diff mounts but as I tightened one of the bolts up to 100Nm, it stripped. The other one is fine. Has this happened to any one before and if so is it possible to use a threaded insert to repair the thread? Chris :oops:

Twin z design put an advert on face book back in may june time showing of a new bonnet that was still in the production stage and getting finished off. the bonnet itself looked the tits and i cant find it anywere anyone now any more info on this bonnet. the pepole that would have seen it would have rememberd its beauty ?

a mate has just got a e46 m3 looks very nice we went for a blast last nite its fast like and sounds great ,we went for a blast on the 300zx tt after and both agreed the 300zx was a lot faster indeed the 300zx is running 14ps,i chip, and cat back system and cone intake stock turbos .the 300 is 23 yeasr old and can leave a 2003 m3 in the dust that's not bad going for a old jap banger

The new motor has a couple of scabs at the lower screen corners and found a big rust area on the back edge. So easier to swap for a rust-free one (cheers Mark) and fit the smooth skin. Spoiler was in the usual water logged state and fubar! Took the spoiler off to stop the Tailgate from keep dropping LOL! The Rear of the Pearl white replacement was then prepped and painted Platinum Silver so it can be fitted to the car............ Much easier to fit the skin and fill etc. :ninja:

Hi does anyone know where you get them rad plate bracket things for thicker rads didn't really want a bling chrome one but I don't think I have a choice thanks .

There is no x or h pipe on my exhaust. Do i need it ? Would it change the sound of exhaust ?

Transmission problem? Been driving her every day for the last month with no issues got in today and noticed a whinning sound coming from the auto transmission was fine yesterday does this mean its on its way out or could it be a top up? I know that gearbox oil shouldn't really get low unless theres a leak, this has just happened overnight which I find odd, hoping its something simple and not a gearbox :( Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Finaly got my stainless exhaust on :-) and as per usual some pic's and a couple of others :-)

http:// http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=163495&st=0 I take it no one read this before they bought their zed! Mine's up for sale now!

There is a car auction place right where I live and my boys came in all excited "mum mum there's a zed in there" so looked on the auction site and yes they're right there certainly is one at the moment bid is £100 has no keys, no mot, rust and scratches but its a zed!!!! Don't know wether to bid for it or not

Hi, After finding out on my previous thread that I need to pull the engine to do the head gasket I've been mulling over what to do next. The engine suffered a pretty serious overheat last year, caused by the nearside turbo water pipe. Last week I finally got round to replacing the pipe, and doing a water by pass while the plenum was off. I think I knew really that the gasket was knackered but needed to sort the pipe to be sure :( So the dilemma is, do I pull the engine, have the heads skimmed & do gaskets or replace the engine completely with a known working one (yet to be sourced)? The gasket kit and skimming is going to cost several hundred and that…

well you wouldn't think it was the middle of November really sunny down here so got the chance to take some pictures
