Hi all, been a while since I’ve been on here. Kind of lost interest with my car being off the road really, a few had been asking about the car so … Now another 12 weeks delay because of piston manufacturer being useless!! To cut a long story short when the engine first failed we stripped it down and discovered that the first machinist had put the valve pockets in the wrong place so had some valve/piston contact hi revs, pistons scrap  Original pistons were made by wossner but they couldn’t do a new set any time soon and very expensive so went to one of the American companies, been a nightmare with almost 6 months of waiting and mess-ups! Fortunately Chris who …

well where to start looking on this one, i've gained a slight misfire but only for the first couple of seconds after a cold start (as in car been stood a few days) it is litterally as the car first fires and builds upto cold tick over revs then it's gone, it was accompanied by a puff of smoke this morning first time it's done that, then car runs ok with no issues, i've got no water loss but using a bit of oil, and prob due a oil change too. any help appreciated

Hello all, (I promise I will be subscribing soon after all these Questions!)... So, my 300 has developed an idle misfire (not bad but noticeable via the exhaust sound). here are the facts.... above 1200 rpm it disappears. Smooth engine otherwise. 70k miles. No smoke etc whatsoever. have had the odd day of it not misfiring at all. but for the majority it misfires. Only started at the weekend after a week of running fine. Misfires in a regular pattern: hovers at 1k rpm without a misfire for a few seconds, then drops to 750rpm and misfires, then slowly creeps back up to 1k rpm over 10 seconds, stops misfiring for 3 - 5 seconds, and then repea…

I usually use the alarm key to lock the car. Today I tried to open the car before I had unlocked it, and hey presto it wasn't actually locked. I then noticed that when I press the key although you can hear the doors sounding as if they lock, they don't actually lock. The passenger door can be locked with the key, but not the drivers, it has to be locked and unlocked with the handle inside. Can anyone shed any light on what is happening?

As above. Seem to have let my membership lapse. Paying by PayPal suits me if it can be done. Thanks.

Don't know whether to laugh or cry? Found this on Pre-loved, has a show record! Err not my cup of tea, but obviously spent a lot of time and effort doing things to it!!! http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/107059249/stunning-nissan-300zx-professionally-customised.html

Silver H reg NA 2+2 spotted at Freeport Braintree, around 15:30 on Wednesday 10th. Looked pretty stock other than a racey style bolt on rear spoiler. Was it you?

I know the whole static show is not for everyone, and tbh by lunch time me personally I'm done with the major shows. Walking round the civics doesn't really get my juices flowing lol, I only really turn up to chat to the club members and if applicable see what's going on, on track. So I was thinking, what sort of things are we not doing that you would like to be doing? For example planned road rallyes, BBQ's, zed specific track days of some sort? What would make you think YES that I want to attend! Ideas on a postcard please.

Dumb question maybe but I have 2 vacuum connectors on my sports 650 turbos. Which one is the best one to use. Regards rich

Last night I removed my cam covers and found this oil down the front of the engine. I'm guessing it's from the rocker cover gaskets leaking rather than the cam seals as going on Jeff's thread the other day I would have seen oil on the top of the covers but they were spotless, as is the belt and gears. The gaskets were pretty hard. Give me your opinions before I go any further please.

One of the guys on facebook has found this for sale 1996 na zed with 145 miles on the clock, yes 145 from new. Nice to see a perfect zed in pristine condition shame its not over here http://www.diamondmotorworks.com/detail-1996-nissan-300zx-2dr_cpe_2_plus_2_manual_w_slash_t~bar-used-10512808.html

Ok so ive got ades zed (thanks buddy) and im picking it up at the end of the month the main job I want doing is a tt swap with a man gearbox upgrade from auto ofc. How much am I looking at to have this done by either someone on here with the skills to do it to a high level or zworld? Or is this something a good local garage can do. Rather use a zed guy thought tbh as I don't trust people that have not got much experience on zeds. (THERE a pain to work on and I have the scars to prove it)

On the way to buy ades old zed today I shot past a nice sounding silver zed at about 11:30 just near the m25 anyones here....
