Anyone know if it's possible to buy complete sills to the 300? inner, outer and everything? It has startet to rust from the inside and I want to change everything.

Are there any thoughts on best infectors for Zeds? im thinking of going Jecs but my main query is do you get the standard swap ones or the upgraded ones? Both fit the car, both have 3 year warranties.. but the upgrded injectors always state theirs some grinding to do ive asked the supplier the difference and they say the swap out ones can go at anytime and the upgraded ones very rarely go.. thought that was a very starange statement and wondered if it was a sales tactic?? what experiences have you had? Cheers

just a follow on from why not to use No Genuine nissan belts or 3rd party branded as per the other Thread about using non genuine belts these are the things you need to be looking out for when timing Having the Cams and Lower sprocket in the correct place now as all Proper 300z Mechanics know that the timing marks on the 300z are only for point of Ref not for timing the car engine spot on when timing you start from the bottom working anti clockwise as the tensioner is on the left Refer to this when using a belt that don't have the timing lines on it 24-45-24-59,---------,76 from the crank to the right exhaust cam. numbers are teeth betwe…

ive bought a second hand DW hicas brackets and adjustable arms, but rather than use polybushes i would prefer to solid mount. Does anyone have a rear hub handy and a set of verniers they could measure for me ? I need to know the ID of the hole as well as the depth, and i can get some ally bushes made up :) I dont want to dismantle mine to do it as im not long to go with the welding then sticking it in for an mot so dont want to be left with the hicas broken and the machinists not able to do the bushes quick enough. any help would be appreciated :batman:

Well im moving out of my unit earlier than I wanted due to a lot of brake ins around the site im not chancing it. Over the last 6 years I can't believe how much ive been hoarding for the zed over the years lots of it is no longer any use to me. Ive been finding parts ive forgot about or thought id lost as wel asl replaced. Im going to have a big for sale/give away thread of parts soon from engine brackets/parts, pipes, interior parts, body parts, running gear and suspension parts to after market bits that I need to clear out quick. If you have anything in mind let me know? Cheers Dan

Hi All, Does anyone know if the fuel tank from an import will fit a UK model? Cheers.

Well was that time of the year again, insurance renewal. Decided to try Sky and their modified policy:- I'm 32. All mods declared on car, chip, intercoolers, filter, exhaust, brakes, wheels, etc, interior, etc. Agreed valuation. CU80 conviction. Fully comp. 3000 mile limitation. Not a classic policy, so drive other cars etc. £325 :) Made me a very happy boy :) I've just had a knee operation, so just need a few weeks of recovery then I will be good to go. Thank you Sky Insurance.

Hi, I am doing a N/A to TT conversion and have the oil cooler fitted but don't have any of the oil lines.... The engine I got had been hacked from a breaker, so lines were cut at about 10cm long by oil tree.... I have been told there is a flow restrictor in the return line.... ? I take it I need oem oil lines and all these parts? [ATTACH=CONFIG]70843[/ATTACH] Sorry posted in wrong section.... Can someone please move this to gen tech advice section.... Sorry!!

Strange one put i've noticed a loud rattling noise coming from the front left of the car. only happens when engine have warmed up and hitting holes on the road. Its really doing my head in. any ideas? cheers

After selling my black lwb TT to a friend who kept it for about six months then sold it on to a trader who sold it on to someone else who had an accident in it I thought that would be the end of K353XFX:no: But yesterday I had my 300 at a small local car show and a young man came over to me and asked about spare parts for 300zx's so I told him to log on here for all his needs and asked him about his 300. To my amazement he had bought my old 300 and was fixing back to its former glory:clap: So hope he logs on today to get some parts and then I can get him to post up some pics of my old Fairlady. How it used to look.

I've wondered about this for a while, thought I'd ask. Is it normal for the journals, although in order i.e. I1, I2, E3, E4 etc. to have some read 'upside down', as in rotated 180 degrees? And what do the dots mean, they appear to be random. Cheers, just summet that's niggled me for a bit :)

Hi All Having recently been unfortunate to have a broken bolt on tensioner pulley. Have stripped down and replaced bolt, how do I confirm that the crank is on TDC . Have read lots of guides http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?135139-Align-timing-belt&highlight=cambelt Cambelt is back on but as i know the engine was turned over with the belt loose not sure whether crank is on TDC or not? Is there any simple way of confirming? Thanks Colin
