wonder if people could shed some light on this im just putting my swb back together, the car is originally a tt manual and im refitting the steering columb i also have a spare steering columb which is in slightly better condition and most importantly has the ignition key matched to my lock set including the titanium key. this came from my previous car which i broke which was a lwb tt auto all is fine except there are two extra electrical connectors on the ignition barrel. both have the illumination ring the auto one has an aditional connector half way down (which i belive is the key sensor) the other i am guessing is a lock of some sort relating to…

Does anyone remember a few months ago there was a European seller doing some really classy simple clock facias? I'm looking to remove my plasma glow ones. All my switch gear has blue LEDs in it too, I'd like to go back white but with LEDs. Sharpen it up whilst keeping a stock-ish look

Guys if got a little project on the go but i need a front wing to chop up, I just need the section around the indicator hole ie from the hole to the sill section, anyone got a beat up one lying around . Could even cut this bit out for me and post it, (ill pay of course). Anyone help?

The big heavy one and the supplement. Thinking of selling mine to fund another model car lol. Anyone interested there in really good condition but not mint. I have no idea what it's worth. Cannot remember what I paid but it was a bit?

As some of you guys know, I am heavily involved in the Z scene in the US; I go to a number of the shows there each year and I am a moderator on the US forum. Make no mistake, the scene is BIG, it can bit glitsy! I don't think many, if any of your have ever done any of the shows there, but if ever you get the chance, just do it. They're a LOT of fun. The people are super friendly, many of which I now consider family and the cars are first rate. I've been to ZNationals, MidwestZfest, BransonZfest (which is where my commitments lie) and an assortment of regional meets and shows from Arizona to California, the Midwest and East coast. Next year, I've committed myself…

Since I've had the Slicky, there has been an annoying whine when in 2nd and 4th. It was suggested it was likely the lower shift boot had came loose. Sure enough, when I looked into it a few weeks ago it had popped off. Placed back on and sound went away. Driving over past few days, sound had came back. I had to take the centre trim out today anyway, so whilst there I investigated the boot again. The lower boot had popped off again. It's slightly misshaped so I've put a couple of dabs of silicone and put it back in place. Hopefully that will hold it in place and save me having to track down a new one. Also the middle boot rubber had a huge split in it.…

I have a few more thank you's to post. Yesterday I was up at 02:00 showered and out the door to get to Keith's (KJZ32) for 04:30. We set off for London where we were going to collect my new shortie from Mark Freeman. We arrived at Marks around 08:30, where his cousin was waiting to hand the car over, sorry didn't ask names.....lol. From Marks it was over to see Ade (gurteen0) the original owner of the shortie, who owned it for 10 years before selling it to Mark Freeman. Ade had a load of parts he had collected over the years and very kindly let me purchase them from him (thanks again Ade). The shortie was running well except on tick over where there was a mis…

Hi , i'm looking for a clear lens kit for my old tail lights (orange) ... Sometime we can see them on ebay but since a long time nothing ... Have you got an idea where can i find a clear lens kit (just the lens) to make a cheap tail light conversion Thank you to help me. José. Sorry for my english ( i'm a froggy lol) .

OK so I probably bid over the odds for them, but I wanted them...... ......So I'm happy that I won Phutumsh's Ebay auction for a set of chrome interior door handles.....:hyper: Richard:dance:

Bloody thing! Two days after parting with £400 to have the wheels diamond cut and lacquered it looks like the Z may have decided to kick me in the nuts... The thing's suddenly developed a mystery noise from underneath, sounds like engine bay area - a kind of rubbing/knocking that only happens only when going forwards, in or out of gear. It's road speed dependent and it's not the wheels/bearings, etc. Nothing's caught between the pads and discs and all the wheel nuts are on tight. In short I've exhausted all the cheap items of wishful thinking. Dreading that it might be gearbox... :scared: And it means losing a day or two's work getting it wherever it needs …

I finally got my 300 out for a test drive after sorting the water leaks but I feels slow and have no boost, it hose to 0 on the gauge but no further, what can this be?

since I've had my car the Speedo has been intermittent. I have posted this before but without success :( I have also trawled through the history/search, but still unsure. Ok, from research I believe the speed sensor sends it signal to the instrument cluster, magic happens and then the cluster sends the signal to the ECU. This is where I get confused..... I fitted a turbo timer this year and took the speed sensor signal from the wire at the ECU. My timer displays the speed accurately and constantly. No problems at all (in km only) So the problem must be in the cluster??? I've resoldered all the joints on the cluster pcb. I've hooked up a voltometer to the …

Has anyone tried or seen a set of 370z alloys on a 300zx?, I love the look of them and would love a set on my car but the rear ones seem wide although I recon they might just fit

We all know the series 4 clocks are different in design so that makes them really hard to come buy, So who out there has a series 4 with cruise that has the cruise lights at the top left of the panel ? I need to somehow see the pcb side and the wiring to get a set of my dash lights working properly. Cheers Lee

cheers bud what you suggested with the induction on the apexi filters worked a trick mate full boost back on with high revs

After my long road trip to JAE I gave the old girl some pampering. Starting with the front wheels I took them of for an intensive clean and polish plus the inside of the wheel arches were cleaned and sprayed with oiled. Alloy before wash clean and polish (inside) And after Used Turtle Wax Wheel Magic for the inside and Rimwax for the outside.

I carried this mod out a while ago and did the write up here which is very often linked in threads http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/newreply.php?do=postreply&t=117007 I have added the following video to it which shows exactly what now happens, this is Ian Greenfields car and we worked together the other day and got this sorted for him. The sidelight bulbs were changed to white smd ones to match the HID's !! [video=youtube_share;NRWO8u1T4Pw]

Like a lot of people I removed the original Carbon Canister from the car to improve airflow through the larger aftermarket IC. http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/6901.html However, I wasn't happy with the smell of petrol (not strong but definitely there) that resulted. This was most noticeable when opening up the garage, especially on a hot day. I felt this could potentially mask a more serious problem with a leak from the fuel pipework in the engine bay. My solution was to refit a smaller CC from a Skyline GTST relocated to a new position in front the engine radiator and reconnect all the pipes as before (except the one on the intake pipe from the a…

Just finished my latest project with the 300, let me know what you all think! Before After

Well anyone with children will know that getting a car seat to fit in the rear of our cars is to put it bluntly a bloody nightmare. When my bumper was cracked and being fixed i came up with a damn good idea. To use the fiber glass past to make a seat base to help my car seats from sliding around on the leather seats. Here is my child seats in question. Now, with cloth seats the child seat isnt a issue as the seat + child compress the cloth and it holds the seat, with the leather seat the added stiffness means that the child seat only contacts in small locations allowing the seat to shift and move. the idea was to take a mold of the seat using…
