Just got car back from Garage. Been told the Rocker cover Gasket is leaking badly. Garage was going to charge £650 to repair this. So instead have decided to give it a go myself. How long do you reckon this will take me, first time at stripping down one of these engines. Any advice or tips appreciated! Cheers, Nick

Hey guys, gotta pick up a Subframe & diff next week but cant get my mates van. So, do you think i'll be able to fit it in the back of my Ford Mondeo hatchback??? Obviously with seats down i'll be able to but will have my little girl & mrs. with me, so, do you think it'll fit in the very large boot as is or if I put 1 seat down and put it in on it's side?

Hi, I recently purchased new rotors for my 300zx n/a import but they don't fit they sent me 28mm x 280mm front discs and 16mm x 173mm rear discs but my rear discs are not vented they are solid. I was hoping someone could explain to me why the rear discs are solid and why I'm having so much trouble finding the exact dimensions of the discs even called Nissan for part numbers but they came back as TT discs. many thanks.

Got my June edition today and its a good read this month.On page 34 "Blast from the past"is all about the z32 300zx a view from someone who is not an owner. Are the 300zx lights "to close together?" Page 46 Interview with John Fuggles of JAE fame and our own Steve Burns gets a mention. Page 75 Nice read for you Pulsar fans.

Finally got my coil overs fitted. they were second hand bought from a forum member, had them for a while before eventually fitting them. managed to get them on all right, and adjusted the height a couple of times but still think I can go lower. But the most annoying thing is the rears (one in particular) squeak like a bitch. sounds awful and is ruining my driving experience. I tried a bit of wd40 as a simple fix, and after a spirited drive it must of seeped in because it stopped, (or greatly reduced). but now after a couple more drives its come back. Eventually I do plan to get the wheel off and give it a better lube. but is this going to be a case, lubing it up ever…

Another question! Im hearing some slight sqeaky noises from both front wheel swhich sound a lot like i need to replace the bearings. Would it be best to order and replace them directly or should i just replace the front axle? Anyone have an idea what would be involved in cost / effort terms for both options?

Hello all! I managed to crack my front bumper and theres a chunk missing from the middle. It's an unusual one so rather than putting on a scarab ot twinz or oem id like a direct replacement which i think ill have to fabricate myself. Anyone know how hard this is to do and where i would get started? Thanks in advance!

a customer came last week with a really tidy zed, he used to work for our company and has asked if i know what its worth, so can i get some opinions from you guys its a pearl white, LWB, JDM, AUTO, with 40,000km on the clock, (its been garage for 10 years) no rust, body is nearly imaculate, came in for a MOT for the first time in years passed first time, i've no picture unfortunatly, but any one have a rough guide price for it?

Well after spending some money but still being worried and needing something reliable chopped the z in - it was a sunny day and gf hated driving z so got mr2 (no no no its not that bad driven on hols to europe nd ragged on track days) but while its fine ,,cheap to insure, peanuts to run ,ok to drive god i miss the z. Anyone got g312 dej or a cheap tt manual i've always said never go back but maybe once

i have this and im looking to get this in the future are these a simple replace with old ones? or is there another kind out there? i currently have a vielside exhaust and not sure if it will fit. or am i better off getting the whole thing replaced.

what you think guys ? http://www.bhpperformanceshow.com/show-info

Anyone who has done or is going to do the PCV delete and want a bit of bling then just buy 15mm domestic flexi pipes...ideal for any breather pipes around the engine bay and with a small rubber coupling hose to allow a 25mm piece of copper pipe that will fit the olive type fitting its easy to fit too.Looks better than rubber imho:winkiss:

Just wondering, what is this part? marked blue Probably something simple, im just not under my zed right now! :rofl:

Hi everyone, My timing belt has now been on the car for 4 years, but i have only done 9000 miles max in that time, the car is always off the road during winter so should i replace it??

Hi guys, need some help here, been collecting a range of parts over the years and about to start my forged build. My aim is for max useable power stricktly for street use. The power related parts I have to date are: Wiseco 88mm Eagle rods Cometic mls Large side mount intercoolers Z1 GT675RS turbos and down pipes Std heads port matched and flowed Manual cams and possibly my limiting factor...my 550 injectors. Question is would I best be getting 720 injectors for the job?

The Advantages of Synthetic Oils over Mineral oils Extended oil drain periods Better wear protection and therefore extended engine life Most synthetics give better MPG They flow better when cold and are more thermally stable when hot Surface-active meaning a thin layer of oil on the surfaces at all times (in ester based oils) How Synthetic oils Achieve these Benefits Stable Basestocks Synthetic oils are designed from pure, uniform synthetic basestocks, they contain no contaminants or unstable molecules which are prone to thermal and oxidative break down. Because of their uniform molecular structure, synthetic lubricants operate with le…

What fuel do I run it on? 95? 97? or shell v power? tescos top fuel? its a 1990 model twin turbo 3l manual with just a powerflow exhaust no more mods, also think its got abit of a misfire through the revs at different rpms every now and then it takes off then bogs down feels like its holding back, any idea what it could be? Thanks

Evening all! Glad to see the club is still going strong after another long time away for me (no, I've not been inside, just yet another addition to the family and mad at work!) After covering only 500 miles in the last 4 years of Zed ownership (since "that rebuild"), I've finally decided to get her mapped. This has been partly prompted by my understanding MOT tester's ultimatum on my emissions ("I'm not passing her again next year Steve - get it sorted!"). I have booked in with Noel (Turbonoz) for next week and will be dropping the car up to Leicester on Saturday and leaving it with him. Will have to update my garage (lol what happened to the Rides section?) and…

Hi all, I have sold my NA and will be getting a tt once I have saved up a bit more money, just wanted to know what the difference was performance wise between the manual and auto. Cheers James

will a import speedometer work ok in a uk z?. mine doesn't work properly and would like a working speedo cluster again. cheers dave

Not sure what you call them... front corner splitters ? Usually mount 1 or 2 each side on the corner of the front bumper on a 45° downwards angle, only short ones maybe 30cm long?

Right I took my car round castle Combe at japfest, Last Friday I was sat at traffic lights and noticed smoke (blue) out of drivers side exhaust, Got home and left her running with no smoke after 5 minutes there was smoke again out of drivers exhaust, this kept happening while sat there 5 minutes nothing then 2 minutes of smoke, The next day I started her, there it was again this time more constant but not as thick, I topped up the oil and took her for a drive, for the first 10 minutes there was intermittant smoke then the rest of the journey (1/2 hour) there was nothing apart from a little puff from passenger sude( don't think my exhaust has a x or h pip…

I have no idea how the stock horn is wired in and while refitting my horn from the photos it shows the feed coming from here and the earth straight to the chassis nearby. The reason im questioning it is there was a relay with several wires coming out of it zip-tied to the live which I believe are junk now but I need to be sure.
