I have nearly finished my new boot install, just the wiring to go. Haven't done this yet as was going to do that and fit the new flip screen head unit at the same time to save removing the radio fascia twice. Got one question though, where would be best to earth the amp in the boot? I have fitted loads of systems before but just want to make sure I do it right on the 300. Any help would be much appreciated.

So Sat 14 saw the Club challenge Time attack cars assemble at Donington. Bob had been there overnigt and by the time new team member Paul and me arrived just after 8 there were only a couple of little jobs to do before a 9.05 warmup seesion. The track was wet and looked pretty greasy so Bob decided to go out on the wets.:yes: Luckily for Paul n me the car was aready sat on its wets from arrival off the trailer. Without the pro classes there was planty of room in the pit garages to set up tools n tyres etc.:thumbup1: We were sharing a garage with Jason Bird and his Evo who is looked after by Ben and his Europspec team. Jaffa was in the next garage with Jimmer in …

Hi, my mate bought a 92 TT auto import recently. Yesterday the engine turned off suddenly while doing around 50mph. It happened right after taking his foot of the accelerator. All the lights on the dashboard lit up and the Power steering turned off. He pulled over and started it up again. It did it again a few minutes afterwards while doing around 30mph. As soon as he lets go of the gas, its off. I watched it happen around 5 times in just over an hour. Anyone have an idea what it could be? Thanks Alex

Well attended for the day and put a few faces to names and met a great bunch of people. Although not in my Zed met up with Andy, Tom, Gary and Ian and son at 8am this morning to make the journey.

Ime running 18,s with a 20mm drop on all corners...on the front i have 25mm spacers but there is a very slight rubbing on the liner at the front outside corners. Has anyone had to adapt or remover any inner liners to accomadate there setup?

Right you know how it is you buy stuff for the Zed, and forget you had it stashed away in the garage yes? Well I suddenly remembered that I had bought an uprated oil cooler for my car from DTA, yes thats how long ago I've had it, circa 2 years. Seeing as the car is going off to Jimmer soon for its engine swao I thought I'd quickly throw it on the car, whilst doing all the other jobs I have to do. Anyways the cooler is a Setrab 13 row (50-113-7612) and as you can see form the pic is a bit small, :thumbdown: Before I go and order another one from CZP is it defiantley a no go? I can't believe Danny sold this as an upgrade for the Z32 maybe its for a…

whats the top speed you had out your z today i went to some private land i had 165mph the car was still pulling but i ran out of road car was very stable done it with no fuss atall

I fitted a contoured sub in my Z, ooooh, some 4 years ago now I think. As far as subs go, it looks ok....it adds some bass..nothing mind blowing......but..... I kinda get slightly embarrassed when opening my boot and there to be seen is 'phat sub' sat there staring back. I know some like this look and are into competition builds or what have you but I really want rid of it. I'd benefit more with the boot space if I'm honest. I just don't like speakers on display. My only trouble is, the 4 speakers that are powered from the head unit sound rubbish. Virtually no mid-range at all. Now, I've got an Alpine headunit and Alpine speakers all round. I've run new ca…

390bhp? See no hint of any modifications, not even a boost controller. Cheap....but stinks of antelope pee. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300ZX-JDM-Twin-Turbo-Fairlady-Z-350-BHP-MANUAL-SWAP-WHY-P-X-/121174439250?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1c368f3552

Hi fellow Z owners,cambelt on my car is covered in oil,noticed this when I had CAS removed it looks bad,engine oil everywhere, I suspect front crank seal. I looked in 300 zx manual and it says oil pump needs to come off to replace it,also engine sump ??(to remove oil pump) so :cambelt,sump,oil pump got come off to replace oil seal?

Hi club dues Payed for the next season, Thanks trev.

Hey all, Here's another headlight annoyance post, but mainly because my question is unanswered using search function.. So in both my projectors I can only assume that previous owner has had trouble with getting the h3c bulbs as I found what looks like a h4 twin element bulb but completely massacred and wedged in to fit h3c fitment... Both filament positives had been soldered together and then a ground soldered to the base?? Needless to say, it doesn't work.. I have since bought myself a set of 55w 6k h3 HID's, only to now realise once I'm standing in front of it trying to work out how the HID's fit, that I have no bloody spring clips... I'm sure I…

just thinking about a bumper change how hard is it to find a 99 spec front bumper a genuine one would i be wasting my time trying to find one. i found a new oem one have to say its one of the best looking bumpers around http://www.zcentre.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.tpl&product_id=269&category_id=77&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=7

Hi all im in need of some help to determine what is causing this sound from the front of the engine. It can hardley be heard at idle its just when the car is revved at higher RPM it squeals. The engine had a full 120k service 4years ago including oil pump, water pump, belts, idlers, tensioner and rebuilt alternator. The engine had then not been used so all the parts are still brand new. We started the car recently and we got this squeal from the front of the engine that was diagnosed as the cambelt being to tight or the tensioner being faulty or seized causing the belt to be tight. So a new cam belt and tensioner was fitted all genuine Nissan again. As soon…

Engine Oil Viscosity Viscosity is the most misunderstood aspect of oil and yet it is the most important. Viscosity is the force required to shear (break) the oil at a certain speed and temperature. Oils work because they have viscosity; the drag of a rotating part pulls oil from a low-pressure area into a high pressure area and “floats” the surfaces apart. This is called “hydrodynamic lubrication” and crankbearings depend on it. Oil must be capable of flowing at low temperatures, so that it gets around the engine in a fraction of a second at start-up and must protect engine components at high temperatures without evaporating or carbonising and maintain adeq…
