Hi , could you text me your number on 07929159828, im hoping you have an aircon part that I am in need off that you removed from your Zed, Thanks Sayers

Driving round Olham hospital. Looked nice.

0630 this morning I was at a petrol station in Hartlepool topping up before heading off to see Jeff at Zedworld. I wanted to get a full inspection done, and conZult check. Also oil and filter change whilst he was at it. Was nice to meet Jeff, and even nicer to find out that mechanically the car is pretty damn perfect (goosed AC aside). ConZult showed no problems, and even that it appears the car has a 16 bit ECU and that it has been mapped at some point in the past (I plan to open it sometime and see if it's been socketed and chipped). Had a chat about the gearbox noise, and he confirmed what Paulzx had suggested to me about the gaitors. So when I got ho…

After making a few calls it seems that companies that will repair a cracked alloy wheel are few and far between. has anyone had a wheel repaired/welded before and if so who did you use?. the problem im having is that most wont weld a spoke. thanks.

Now because i would like to put some more indicators in the front valance using the indicator/ side light wiring of whitch i dont use anymore it has three wires on the plug. ive tried to use it and the latest indicator lights i wire up to it and works fine but as soon as turn on my side lights the fronts indicator stays on and overrides the indicator. now i would not put one in the front but if i dont then the indicators blink to quick ,any ideas/? its like i got a bulb out but i ant just the front ones not pluged in. do i ne…

After looking on ebay under 300zx as most of us do everyday I have come across my first ever 300zx I owned, thinking straight away im buying it back then i looked at the pictures then my heart sank hes let it go so bad ,I loved and cared for this car as I do with the one I have now ,I should never have let it go http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-NISSAN-300-ZX-2-2-YELLOW-TWIN-TURBO-FAULT-NEEDS-NEW-WIRING-/190887640615?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2c71ca3e27

I don't want to paint it, or polish it, just freshen it back up, what's best a stiff brush and brake cleaner?

Having seen a question about changing the abs sensors on the diff a week or so ago I had the very job come in the workshop and though a few pics would be useful. As it happened this particular zed had a hicas lock out fitted which made the access a little easier but not by a lot, it made the pics easier though. The sensors on the rear diff do not fit directly into the alloy unit but into steel inserts that are pressed into the diff, now this makes for a 50/ 50 chance of the unit coming out easy, the steel insert rusts and makes the removal a real pain, the most important thing is to ensure the sensor comes out of the insert not the insert out of the diff. …

As Z32Bolt pointed out rightly, its high time I punched a post up here to show how our Z is progressing.

Hi all,i am going to get a mechanic to change the timing belt on my 300zx.The car has beening lying for around 3-4 years.Does anyone know where i can buy the complete seal kit?Also guy seeing the car was lying so long,do you guys think the engine is ok,would hate if rust built up in the cylinders.Any advise would be great guys.And thanks ;)

I fired up the old girl for the first time in about 3 years. a couple of issues to resolve before i stick it in for an MOT. The one i had completely forgotten about was the front power steering hose which is leaking. This is the hose with the spliced 'joint?' half way along which is under a foam shrowd. I think it comes from the discharge of the pump to the rack. first question - can i get one of these new/recon'd, and at what price? secondly- if i repair it myself and get a new hose made off using the existing end fittings by the guy who does my digger hoses, is this 'joint' section just a joint or is it a restrictor/NRV? it seems a very odd place t…

Spotted a black K reg Zed outside of Stanley around 6pm today heading Consett way... got a wave off the driver... :)

I've been working on the car from 08.00 to around 22.00 when I gave up for today. I was about to put the one piece driveshaft back but couldn't get it to fit. On the end that goes in to the transmission I noticed a cap (don't know what the correct owrd is in english) at the end. I couldn't see any cap on the transmission female part... Am I just tired and missing something? Can't remember it being difficult to install the driveshaft...
