I'm off to Japan in a little over a week and will be spending about a week in Tokyo. Just had a thought - anyone know of or have any experience of Z goody shopping in Japan? Everything is very expensive there so I'm not holding my breath but any advice/recommendations?

Hi guys. Bit of a mystery here. Fairlady Z TT 1991 J reg. I've just had my passenger side front wheel bearing replaced and then gearbox oil and coolant changed. Was checking the gearbox oil level when I got it back from the garage and noticed a disconnected black rubber hose, prob just under an inch in diameter, sitting on top of the engine in front of the battery. It has the remains of some black tape around the end, but is clean. No marks on it, no jubilee clip or any other sign of it being attached to anything. Now I don't know what all the bits of my engine are for, but I have spent long enough looking at it over the last 15 years to know that it has never had a…

Ive finished doing the brake pipes on the front and have started the rears, and pretty soon i want to get the power out of it. ivbe got 550cc injectors, 10.5x8.5x5.5 intercoolers ( core size), will be order a turbo back exhaust in a couple of weeks and have an hks filter. Now can anyone tell me the max power standard manual turbos can take, im really hoping to get 500 bhp ( bragging rights mainly :scooter:) or as close as possible. cheers

Hi All After a VERY long time of re-prioritising, I finally think I'm ready to get to work on sorting the suspension out! I've been eyeing up the Meister Zeta-Rs for a while and from the reviews on here think they're a good choice. However, I understand that it's advisable to upgrade the complementary bits as well such as: - Adjustable front and rear, top and bottom arms - Poly bushes all around - Adjustable tension rods - Poly bush the rear sub frame Where's the best place to get these parts and is there a lot of variance between the brands/models available? Obviously I'd want them to suit the Zeta-Rs as best possible. I've only seen …

Which settings should I use to check the TPS on this multimeter and which holes should the connectors be in. cheers Paul

Decided at weekend to finally bypass the knock sensor as running on safety mode. Knock sensor appears to have no resistance or harness has broken down. After much time researching wire diagrams, the sensor has one wire from ECU pin 23 and this is the signal wire and the other wire being shielding around it which is ground. Basically a coaxial cable. My problem is that I have tried the 1 m ohmn resistor trick at the Harness ECU side and no luck, still getting code 34. I then decided to take it right back to the ECU to eliminate faulty wire. I have done the following, picked up pin 23 on ECU HARNESS and soldered 1m ohmn resistor then grounded it to engine blo…

Hi guys! I have installed GT525 with 0,54AR in a Zed of my friend, Profect B2, Downpipe, etc... But I can´t make 0,8 bar until 4000rpm...., in my Zed, with stock tubs, I have 0,8 at 2600rpm.. Do you have any dyno or information of the maximun spool?? Thanks!

I was just on the phone to her in doors cas i work away from home for three weeks at a time, when my better half said to me something. See let me explane. two weeks ago tomorow i had my car go over to jeff on the back of a truck half way accross the country to have some work done. when i went to move it i found two of my tyres were knakered so i took of two 18inch my other car as a temp measure just so it could go and have work done. the origanal wheels as well u know are 16 inch. my Sarah says to me tonight . "BABE I was looking out the window tonight and said to myself", I wonder how and what his going to do when he gets home to drive his other zed when he left it with…

Just curious whether there's a procedure to changing the CAS. I would search but the search facility is pants and doesn't let you search for 3 letter things. I've not tried to change it yet and it may well be obvious (markers or something) but I thought I'd ask as I'm wondering if I instal it wrong if it'll cause a problem

Who gets frustated by the fact when under your bonnet and you want to blip the throttle you either have to press down on the inner cable or roll the wheel back with oily mits which slips on the wheel:thumbdown: Solve this pain in the arse problem by getting a dremmel and increasing the size of the inspection hole above cable wheels on the throttle cover and be able to get your finger under the little "tang" on the wheel so you can blip your throttle like nature intended..was going to take pics but i could,nt be arsed:laugh:

Saw this last week on Dominion road, worthing, bayside blue with skirts, G83*** thought its was markie's but couldnt be sure.. Looked very nice in the sunshine...

So I can get my proper re-spray is there anybody local to Ayrshire who can help me remove my engine ? Bacon & Sausage rolls on hand for anyone who can help. Cheers

Hi people, My power steering is very intermittent lately along with my speedo. If I loose my power steering, I also loose my speedo reading. Are these 2 related in any way?? I was guessing the pump is starting to fail, but it seems strange that the speedo reading goes at the same time?? Any ideas? Cheers, Alz. EDIT: After searching, it looks like the speed sensor behind the clocks....... Time to remove and look.

Hi All, Anyone know where I can buy a new seyt of these please. Cheers.

I'm hearing great things about this waterless coolant stuff. Does anyone have it in their Z ? I'm thinking of giving it a go

New Zed and my first "WTF?!" thread already. :lol: The speedo in my new toy doesn't work. It either sits on 0 and doesn't move, or it starts at 180 and doesn't start working (backwards) until you hit 70mph! The trip counter and odometer both work without any issues. The car's a 1991 TT auto import, just in case that makes any difference. Speed sensor? Dodgy wiring? Knackered speedo unit? Help!!!

My question is will Nissan S14 Nismo S-Tune suspension and Tension rods fit the 300zx or are they different?
