Just got a call of a mate of mine who has his own scrapyard said someone drove a zed in there to scrap,anyone we know?going have a look in a bit,scrapyards in Birkenhead.

hello how do you think they will fit, or rather can not, and will buy ROTA drift

Happy 1st of the month to every one. :) Ive been looking through suspension upgrades and TBH i am unclear as to what i NEED over want i can put on... i could quiet easily spend £1400 and change everything... i.e Traction Rods Tension Rods Camber Arms Hicas Eliminator Toe Rods Front upper Camber Front and rear adjustable lower arms But my question is this.. as a road going car.. whats worth changing and whats not... not point spending the money if it not going to give me and the way i drive the car any benefit at all. Now Hicas eliminator is def something i would do. so any advise please, that would be great. Thanks …

Just a quick question my chassis/vin does not seem to come up on any of the ranges that ive seen and just wondered if it was me not reading correctly. ive looked on the chart thats been posted and just a bit curious now.

Looks like a 3 day auction, no reserve. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/nissan-300zx-twin-turbo-/121203166495?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c38458d1f

Hi guys, anyone know anything about adjusting the front windows so they close tighter against the targa rubber at the top? I'm sure I read you can adjust them, but can't find it. Thanks

I have been looking at a 300zx twin turbo on ebay It has finished now but the guy is after £400 plus delivery He says he has bills for loads of work to the engine and has now broken the car The engine is miles away so no chance of seeing it It has garret turbos and has been removed from the car I am a little sceptical as whether to buy this or not Any help would be appreciated

might be useful for someone the parts alone are worth more than the car http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO-/181250476692?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a335eca94

After going to a mates scrapyard for some wheels for a 323, i got talking about my zed and he said his son had one a while ago that he broke up for parts, but he has another one he doesnt want to break, but doesnt have time for any more, so i said let me talk to him and see if i cant buy it off him. 10 mins later i bought it, a black UK J reg Auto TT with scorpian exhaust, solid sills, alloy wheels, 103,000miles, engine sounds sweet. Got horrible Fiat back lights which will come off, needs a bit of TLC, but perfect for my winter project, aside from the one im driving, project :biggrin: Cant believe i found one so local to me and soooooo cheap :thumbup: Didnt h…

I have Stack A pillar water temp gauge which the previous owner fit and it used the sender on the water pipe, the same one as the stock clocks gauge takes it feed from. The clocks needle sits just a smidging above halfway - perfect I am happy with that. But on the Stack gauge it was up at 205f when fully warm which is 96 celsius - clearly incorrect and I do know down to calibration !!! Not to mention too far along in it's range as I like the needle to sit somewhere in the middle of it's travel. So I experimented and found by fitting a resistor in line it dropped the gauge to 170f which equates to 77c, I don't have a conzult to test but my guess is this isn't too …

what did you do with your power steering cooler? I see the ps hoses from the cooler are hooked up to the HICAS solenoid valve.

I bought a cheap £1.70 module from the far east and I've fit it inline, only takes 30 mins all in to do, just wanted to show you all, not sure if I'll keep or not but with it being only a slit of a light I don't think it's too in your face. I do know you can buy the ones that go solid after a few seconds but this one just keeps flashing and flashing and flashing. FYI....I replaced the 4 x clear stock filament bulbs that are in there with red 5 smd T10 ones a while back :cool3:. [video=youtube_share;mKZOCwVhsaw]

After a drive last night it may of taken a beating and after starting it back up I noticed it sounded a little louder at the front, so popped the bonnet and tried blipping the throttle and it sounds like it's blowing from under the battery somewhere. I'm assuming this would be the manifold? guessing the gaskets blown out, a bolts snapped or its cracked. Or could it be on the turbo side? Either way anybody had anything similar happen? How much of a challenge is this going to be? I really don't want to take the engine out. Also it's still apparently spitting flames of about 2ft, one side bigger than the other, I'm putting that down to over fuelling but I'm assuming if …

Hello fellow ZedHeads. Came across a 300zx for sale on gumtree (or scumtree as some would call it), ad claims it's 1998 but don't they have the later style bumper. Also mileage of 38000, can this be taken seriously considering the age, origin and price. Opinions, worth a look? http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/nissan-fairlady-300zx-twin-turbo-manual/1036546953

Well I fitted my hid's at the weekend, one of the many jobs I have put off for ages, but now it has caused a very odd issue. When I don't have my lights on, the auto box selects all gears properly, up and down. When I have my lights on however, it doesn't want to select 1st and pulls away in 2nd ( or that's what it feels like anyway). I can manually select 1st and 2nd with the lights on, so makes me wonder what's going on. Its not the only issue caused either, as mentioned in another thread, my speedo needle also acts erratically when I first switch the lights on ( but this doesn't really bother me too much). As someone mentioned in the other thread, could this …

Hi been searching ebay for some 100 watt H1's as my 55 watt ones are crap searched all over ebay and all they sell is the single bladed Type, there are twin ones but the metal surround does not look the same as mine, my bulbs have a square notch At one end and a half circle at the top so that it sits snuggly into the housing does anyone know of anywhere I can purchase these? Kind regards Leeroy

Is there a write up out there that guides through how to replace all the rubber trims (around doors, targas, etc)? Including what products to use to best remove and then set the new ones in place? I've tried searching but can't seem to find one. My Zed leaks quite a bit, mostly from the door windows/targas but I've got replacement rubbers all around so wanted to know if it's a job I can do to a good standard of if it's better to leave it with a professional to do. Thanks

Any thoughts advice be great. Also I'm looking for a water pump been unable find one maybe looking wrong places chassis gz32 year 1992 march.

Ok, I thought all I needed was high temperature lithium grease, for the input shaft. Then I discovered spline grease, specifically for splines. However, spline grease should not be used on pivot ballpoints, so should I use normal grease here? Then there is the folk, where it connects to the thrust bearing carrier, again, normal grease? I reckon I should use HT lithium grease, or spine grease, on the shaft. Then either lithium, or any normal grease on the pivot and folk. Obviously don't want to have to drop the gearbox and redo this, so any help would be appreciated. :)
