Where's the best/easiest place to get a new clutch master and slave cylinder from? Also prabably gonna need to get new belts ect so be handy to probably just get it all at the same time for the mechanic

Hi all.. just wondering if anyone out there has fitted the CZP or Z1 Akebono big brake kit to their Z? Im having issues with wheel fitment for 18" rims, unfortunately my own 18" are just touching the caliper on the barrel of the wheel so obviously thats a no no.. If anyone out there has fitted these brakes, can you give me the details from your wheel setups? brand, sizes, et etc.. just want to get the brakes on and make sure i buy a set of wheels that fit rather than another set that dont lol.. gets expensive down that road haha anyway, any help or info will be much appreciated cheers!

Reg H31 BEU parked on driveway down Halfway. Anyone here? Looks in good condition from distance and very local to me ? right round the corner. Reveal yourself! Ha.

Hi all, Anyone know a place to get some decent tape for the pinstripe? I've seen some old posts but the links are dead, I tried buying one that said it was 'charcoal/gunmetal' but it's way too bright!

New Zed being test driven

hi guys, connected my data scan to the car today to check for error codes, and it's showing det sensor as being a problem. Jeff at zed world bypassed mine around 7 years ago and fitted a resistor in the wiring plug. the resistor is still in place, so any ideas what the problem may be? I cleared the code and it came straight back.

Out of curiosity decided to weigh both Zed's, my daily red zed and the black ine that's being prepared for some casual track day fun. Currently it's just the most basic of weight saving but 250kg removed so looking forward to getting this out on track ??

Good Morning, Gents/gals i am unable to find PFR6B-11B spark plugs online they are all sold out. Do you know where i am able to find some? or is their an alternative you guys are using for your zed X. Cheerio, you friendly zed x owner

Stereo has been out of the car for about 4 years and thought I woudl put it back this weekend. Cant remember what the wires are and never had a multi connector attached. Can anyone point me to wiring diagram / guide?

i know you guys dealt with this many times, but im really desperate, spend weeks trying to work it out... so, error code 34 knock sensor problem... my ecu shows 0.568ohm knock sensor shows 0.580ohm so i would assume i need new knock sensor but i bought two (so i have 3 all together, mine old one and two new ones) bought both not from ebay, from proper shops, one for 85£ another for 160£ and both shows freaking 0.560-0580ohm put 1meg ohm resistor like it say in here http://www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/PICS/detonationSensor/detonationSensor.html same code 34 so that is it? thank you Z32 TT 1991 ATM

So I am going to upgrade my suspension (shocks, arms, bushes), I've done some research and found that the TEIN VSN22-C1SS3 FLEX Z seem pretty good and are just in budget. Does anyone have any experience of them? I did look at the street advance Z (cheaper), but they are missing the top hat bit (you reuse the OEM one) and I would rather have all new components and I dont have the tools to be releasing springs off shocks. I've been looking at Driftworks adjustable arms (https://www.driftworks.com/suspension/adjustable-arms/?car_make=nissan&car_model=300zx-z32) and have compiled a list of components using this blog: https://conceptzperformance.com/blog/suspension-10…

Hi can any one tell me what my oil pressure should be tt ?

Seen on FB these for sale. Next will be net curtains and pelmets ?

This is a bit of an odd one. Last year I has a misfire on one of the cylinders. After pulling the offending coil pack off, testing the voltage and resistance across parts in that area and checking the spark plug everything looked good. I replaced the spark plug, as I couldn’t find an issue, screwed everything back together and all was fine. That was it for the year and the issue didn’t reoccur. The other day, when I pulled the car out for it’s MOT, there was another misfire on a different cylinder. This time I thought that I’d just pull the coil pack and pop it back in. Bingo, it cured the misfire. Today I pulled the car out and the misfire was back but on …

Afternoon all, does anybody have a picture of a manual gearbox with details of what each of the electrical connectors is for please, Thanks

Still in lock down with a little movement at it easing but no plans can be made for 2020. I missed the AGM last year and this year is a non starter. (so far) Maybe later in the year we will be allowed to get together but until then here is a reminder what we are missing and I do miss it ?

so following on from my front under tray issue, I've bitten the bullet and bought the Ali kit from z1, so while I'm waiting for that to be delivered I thought I would crack on and remove the old front tray, anyhow on the rear mountings in the radiator support the middle one was already snapped off, passenger side was missing and drivers side snapped when I tried to tighten it slightly to try and dislodge any rust before trying to loosen it, so is my only option now to try and drill out the offending bolts?

Hi all, looking for insurance. Im sure there used to be a section with insurance and companies with discount. Can't seem to find them. My other question who is everyone using nowadays ? Thanks

Any ideas why the ABS warning light would be on and how to test for possible issues. The cars been in the air for 9 months with the battery disconnected and there wasn’t an issue before it went up. To the best of my knowledge I haven’t touched anything to do with the brakes and the car passed its MOT yesterday (the light may have been on yesterday as you can hardly see the warning light in the bright sun). The fluid level is spot on and the ABS fuse in the engine bay is fine. The car also drives fine and brakes well although I obviously haven’t hit them hard enough for the ABS to need to kick in. Thanks, Chris.

Hi guys I can’t find the emissions flow chart to exempt our cars. Has anyone got it please just in case the mot tester gets funny? Cheers, Chris.

Hi all, hope your all well, can anyone please tell me what this is and what it does, I have red / green and black wires , this looks to be high level brake light, but for a Australian 300 according to the wiring diagram. Mines UK, never had a rear spoiler brake light, I've get power to it at key position 1. I've bought a rear perspex strip with the tail light and looking to wire it up. Thanks in advance D

I got two female lugs totally stripped out on my front tire on my RHD import. I have a new set of sick speed lugs to replace the old ones with but I need advice to get these things off!? Anyone?

So i want to clean my block properly as i want to be 100% sure that there is no contamination inside. What i know and wont do is the obvious method you see all over youtube with people using a jetty and hosing it down. Trying to do this DIY as much as possible for the moment. Below is a quick video of the block, i'd like to strip off all the silver paint and degrease the full thing. Whats the best solution without the chances of using the block by using water. As you can see the crank is turning nice and smooth at the moment and i really dont want to upset that.
