Hi When i brought my Z it came with a set of dump valves We fitted one, and was about to fit the other one when we saw it was fooked buy possible water damage Does anyone know who make these? As at the moment I am running 1 dump valve and one recirc. Any one got 1 dump valve for sale?

Seen a nice silver lwb around 5:15pm on Chelsea embankment

Can anyone advise where I will get an el light panel to match oem rear light panels? Its like a greeny turquoisey colour. I want to put together illuminated rear quarter sunshades but need to match my illuminated rear panel. Cheers

How do you know if the diff is buggered? Tonight was the 1st time I gave it some beans and about 80ish I got like a loud wiring and a slight vibration in e rear any ideas? Or a dodgy wheel bearing. Or a fooked one piece prop?

Hello everyone! so what's your favourite and why? I always loved leather but my Zed has cloth currently and I quiet like it... Grips you in the corners! Is a navy blue which is smart too, but still considering picking up leathers this weekend... question is, would leather be lower than the cloth? I changed seats in my old E36 328i to leathers and they were considerably lower/sportier! If the only difference is my ass is going ot slip all over the place then I probably won't bother, but if they feel sportier and lower then I will be very tempted! best regards, William.

Can they be done with everything in place ?

Hi all , This is NOT a forsale thread, im asking for a bit of guidance, I have a set of Carillo rods that I am unlikely to use, what are they worth if I were to put them on Ebay. Thanks Sayers

I had a great weekend rekindling a bromance with my best mate from uni this weekend. Crazy how time flies and people grow up! But to the point of this thread - he came to visit with his new Aston Martin Vantage S so we decided to spend most of Saturday exploring the B roads of Surrey in a 'sprightly' fashion! He's running 430bhp with a 4.2L V8. Considering I'm running stock boost and don't have the benefit of traction control and a flappy paddle gearbox I was genuinely amazed at how well the Zed kept up with the Aston. Don't misunderstand me, the Aston was faster but he had to push it pretty damned hard to get any real distance between us! I was lucky enoug…

Hi guys. Just giving my new 300zx a good detail and thought I'd check the drain holes are clear. I was able to push some cable down the rear holes and it went about 1.2 meter down then stopped. Can someone please tell me where the drain points end and should the cable be able to go all the way out the underside of the car? Cheers, Chris.

Anyone know if theres any difference between the older and later spec master cylinders... I know the early ones leaked so on my car I've used a later spec one and its slightly different to look at but it bolts up the same. Only reason im asking I kicked my car off the the bloody axle st a nds trying to bleed the brakes. The fronts bled up nice but the rears u really had yo stand on the pedal to get them to work. Wondering if the bias is set up slightly different, Any help appreciated.

Saw a green Z up at MK cruise tonight think the plate was N300TUB Anyone on here?

D you use the standard Nissan rubber or do you have something aftermarket? I'm just wondering what options there are out there

So, I have the rad out and I'm wondering, should I put the shroud back on? I know there's the hazard of losing a finger, but I was thinking, I could leave it off and paint the fan nicely. What do you think?

i know there are a few kits on the market can anyone recommend a particular one for the z32 please

This autum i will be going Manwell:D...is there a "how to" anywhere for a few pointers?.

Was it you red uk spec reg OCC 75 i gave you the thumbs up in the beemer, looked nice and tidy :)

As it says in the title..........................................................:thumbup1:

Im thinking of wrapping my turbos up in that heat sheild stuff to keep the unnderbonnet temp down. My question is is there a pre-maid jobby out there or shall i down the route of the heat soak blanket and stanlees steel cable tires. And if the later am i right in saying thats fine and wouldnt damage the tubs or hinder any thing. dont want to cause any issues.thanks?

Hi Guys, i need to extend one of the oil pipes in the oil pipe assembly that runs from the gearbox to the oil cooler, ally pipe with connectors or rubber hose (suitable) push on with jubilee clips, Any ideas on sourcing? Rich Quick question?? whats the max pressure in the oil pipes?

Ok so had the Anti-lock light on for a bit now, it came on a few times after I swapped the shocks the first time, over a couple of bumps it would come on, but then after the engine turned off it would be ok. then it stopped coming on altogether for a while, so I forgot about it thinking its fixed itself. Then after fitting the meister R's the other week its come back, and its on all the time, don't even need to move the car, just fire it up and in a second or so it comes on. So after going through some old threads I found this with a nice little tip from Jeff http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?136689-Anti-Lock-warning-light&highlight=anti-lock…

Hi everyone, So I am tarting my Zed up whilst I look for a diesel and decide if I can afford to run both cars (I think it should be ok!), and this weekend tackled the mangled spoiler. The previous owner resprayed it by hand without primer etc and it looked sick (the bad kind of sick opposed to the young kids meaning of the word). The paint was bubbling and to make matters worse he didn't remove it first so the overspray onto the boot was tragic. I got some cutting compound and have removed all the overspray and the car is now minus a spoiler (and looking very HOT). Plugged the holes temporarily with some carbon style vinyl wrap... Very tempted to keep it…

Guys id like to try out getting my car wrapped rather then a full on repspray anyone know any good places etc.

Been perusing the local scrap yards and I've found the remains of a R33, the guy said I can have the rear callipers for £30, figured that was a good price, however is there much point? Couldn't find a definitive answer with the search function, I don't think it's a GTR, but someone did tell me once that skyline callipers are lighter than ours. any truth?
