Right after seeing this thread there seems to be enough interest to try start a group buy on these : http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?171216-RHD-Wiring-Looms-new-from-Wiring-Specialties So I've started to ball rolling and emailed the company on behalf of the club and its members. To get a rough idea can everyone who's interested post your name and loom required and we can try build a group buy on them. Feel free to add any other looms in and we can see if we can get the costs down. Currently they advertise the loom at $475 which is about £308 give or take a few pence, shipping we won't know until they return my email. I'll star…

I thought, time to fit my Japspeed decats, Zed up on axle stands, Mongoose rear system came off ok - good.... Intermediate cats/silencers came off only after three bolts sheared, OS turbo elbow/downpipe/cat came off with minimal effort - great. However, the NS turbo elbow/downpipe/cat is still on the car 'cos I cannot get one **!???** bolt undone :cursing::cursing: The top bolt, nearest the engine, will not budge anymore than the 5mm that I've managed to unscrew it so far :surrender: You can't get purchase on a spanner, once it's on the bolt. I've broken two cheap quarter inch drive short extensions and for the life of me can't figure out what to do ne…

Did some major work on the 300zx last weekend including fitting pe1420 turbos, jecs 550 injectors and a 6 puck clutch. Last night the car developed a noise that sounds exactly like a plastic bottle top falling down concrete steps. Does anyone have any ideas?

As above , the weather is good and the car appears to be well, any meetings this weekend ?? Sayers

I can't drive my car because the back wheels catch the arches and the brakes judder the entire car violently. I have raised the rear using my miester rs but clearly it wasn't enough and I'm not prepared to stiffen it further. While I was under there both back sides have collapsed bearings. I don't know quite which but they are apple sized and wet with grease beneath just forward of the hubs. So, the plan is 330mm 2013 D2s on the front. Some spigot rings for the alloys which I will sort out when I get home. And loads of driftworks style suspension bits. And my hicas has play in it. So can anyone work out which bearings are shot from.that description and poin…

Any recommendations for a reliable and accurate adjustable FPR? Preferably with a permanent gauge. I've been looking at the Japspeed one http://japspeed.co.uk/Nissan-300ZX/Nissan-300ZX/Adjustable-Fuel-Pressure-Regulator/p-18-1-122/ Do you run a fuel damper?

hi there everyone, i am new to the forum and had my 300zx for some 8 months now. it is a 1992 twin turbo t-top:clap:. Unfortunately is not all good news :sad: so in hope of a answer i came to this forum to see if any one could help me. Yesterday i started the car and once the car warmed up a idle the rev drops up and down and up and down vice versa. Now this HAS happened to me before and it goes away it self after a bit. However now it has gone worse :sad: 1. the car actually cuts out straight away and turns off only when the engine is warm. - happens a few times. 2. Majority of the times the revs drop so low that its like the engine is cuttin…

if anyone is interested on upgrading you Z wheels tires and brakes you can contact me on the

That's the car currently in four it's mot, but I know it's going to fail, just ran out of time to do everything! Hopefully it will just be the stuff I know about though!

I fell across this just now http://www.wiringspecialties.com/wsprvgtofaze.html OK, they're in the US but they do make RHD ones.

Not seen any on the road for months and months and months and saw 2 today! You pulled up in Nailsea High Street. I wasn't driving my Z, but noticed you pull up. Looked completely stock.

Can anybody please advise on removal of the front fog light ? My passenger unit has filled with water and needs either cleaning or replacing but I can't see how to get it out. There's a screw on the front but this just turns and doesn't seem to do much ! Any advice very welcome. Mark

Here it is, I caught him out, trying to bag a hunni. Surely I deserve some rep for this.

Thanks to my good mate Jimmer for this evening's work on my Z. Just a little bit of offset correction for the rear. When I was over at Z1 last month, I felt that my Z could use an extra 10mm, so bought the Z1 spacers and NISMO extended bolts and brought them back to the UK with me and this evening Jim fitted them for me and did a rear brake clean up and inspection, a ConZult check and a full underbody check over. Needless to say, the car was running perfectly, all the sensors, idle, O2, balance test and everything else was all spot-on, rear brake shoes adjusted, so it's all ready for the drive down to the south of France next month which I can't wait for! Thanks…

were do i connect the boost gauge to do any one have a pic of were the t peace goes so i know what a doing :stupid:

As above I have two silly questions which I hope someone will know the specific answers to. 1.How do I wash the oem shagpile floor mats. Ie what can I use to wash them and how? 2.How much shorter is a short shifter? is it even shorter? will it lower the gear stick knob by x amount? Hopefully for the purposes of my ocd the answer is just over an inch lol. (I'm not saying why) :shifty:

While I was working on the speedo cluster last weekend I was giving the clocks a quick dust and accidentally moved the fuel gauge needle - the other three needles (i.e. temp, speed and revs) all drop down to rest but the fuel one seems static. I moved it back to where I thought it was before, but like a numpty I completely forgot to check when I started the car yesterday, so after work I filled it right up to the top with Shells' finest and the gauge appears to be reading ok (slightly above the 'F'). However my question is will the fuel gauge have re-sorted itself out when I started the engine or by moving it have I 'de-calibrated' it so it will now always be slightly und…

What connects where screw driver is pointing? I've been stripping various parts to learn more about the locations of everything and just wondered what would normally be here.

Hi does anybody know how to run a diagnostics check for faults on a twenty pin jap auto ASCD system pls, sympton is mine will light up as armed but will not engage from the control stalk, does the system rely on a signal of any type from the auto shifter area , as recently i notciced a small fork type piece of plastic broken in this area, are the two things related ?? thanks Sayers

Had a go at doing my own boot install, wanted to still be able to use the boot and was done under a budget as usual :) big thanks to Jody (silver surfer) for all his help, and his ugly mug in the picture :p Gutted the boot.... Built a frame out of 2x2, raised the floor up enough for the amp and 12" sub Cut and fit the 12mm MDF, cut and fitted the amp and sub Fitted kenwood 6x9's, also cut slots so still have the use of my targa straps (please excuse the retard !!) Covered in red vinyl and fitted the targa straps I really like it and sounds quite good too, just got to sort a cover for the sub (got something …

Hi all, Looking for some advice really. I was driving around all day today mainly on long runs but as i got to town and was at traffic lights or roundabouts i.e slow traffic, the cars revs and power seemed very inconsistent. At first it was dipping in revs and seemed to cut in and out and then just as i was coming home tonight sat at traffic lights the car was dipping in revs and seemed as if the car was trying to stay on...i then went to take off and there was no power and seemed as if the car was struggling to go. I had my foot down but was fighting against cutting out. I pulled over and turned the engine off. Waited 5 mins and started it back up turning off the he…
