Hi, I want to upgrage the brakes on my car. The front discs look tiny by todays comparison. What is the cheapest/easiest solution

Hey - I'm back again... and so soon! The next issue I am facing after the indicators, is the fact that the two key fobs that remotely lock/unlock the car and arm/disarm the alarm that I got with the car have crumbled to dust and died... and after only 26 years of service... wtf?! ? So, I would love to get a new fob and program it to use all the existing infrastructure. Has anyone done this before? Mine is a UK spec 1994 Z32, and the remote locking system and alarm are the Nissan factory fitted standard. Any tips/hints gratefully received!

Hi all, I’m planning on replacing the AC Compressor at some point in the next 3-4 months. The current one exploded under the previous owners ownership. It’s been converted to r134a already and had all those o rings replaced. Anyway enough waffling. Previous owner advised buying a used compressor and getting it refurbished so you can install with peace of mind that it’ll last a long while. I found a used series 2 ac compressor but not sure if it will fit my 93 TT. I saw online on the Z1 motorsports website that they’re the same unit between series 1 & 2 cars however the connector on the series 2 compressor is slightly different so you can cut the wires and splice …

Ok i have seen these on ebay im kind of interested although i wasn't really looking at changing wings for a while.Now the people selling them Banzai breakers i contacted and asked if we could do a deal as i thought 400 was steep for 2nd hand when z centre do them for 480 brand new.I was told the Z centre ones are a poor fit and these will fit perfectly,hmmm is there any truth in this or are they just trying it on.I do not know this place so its an impartial question.Cheers

Hi Guys, I have a manual UK spec TT 1994 Z32 which I am trying to clean up a bit, and I'm looking to replace the front driver's side indicator light housing which is cracked and filling with water. My front indicator lights are in housings which also contain a white "side light", and are located in the enclosures that are immediately either side of the front numberplate, on the front of the car. Looking around at photos and eBay etc, it seems as though this is a bit unusual... most Z's seem to have their indicators on the front quarters of the car instead (these for me are fog lights...) Is my lighting arrangement particular to the UK spec of car? I gues…

Anyone know how to get to my engine serial number? Are there multiple? I heard their difficult to get too. I’m trying to ship my vehicle and they say I need it.

As im sure we have all read, the UK is going to shift over to E10 petrol to help curb emissions: https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/advice/emissions/what-is-e10-fuel-and-how-could-it-affect-you/ It seems most(!) cars before either 2000 or 2002 cant use this blend of petrol according to the link above and the pdf below. I wanted to find out more information because if "normal" E5 stops being sold, do I have to live with reduced power and/or fuel lines being eaten by this new, more corrosive blend. I went to my local Nissan dealer to ask them about it and the first response to "I drive a 300zx" was "what is that?". Not a great start I admit. I asked my question and …

Good morning 1991 300zx TT Auto has been sitting idle for 10 odd years. She will be put in to a garage for a complete overhaul, But I needs to move her a short distance (500 yards) to get her onto a flatbed and I just want to check I have my bases covered before I run her up: Fuel, do I need to drain any residule fuel (if any) before topping up with fresh? Engine Oil. Is it worth replacing oil? From what I have researched 10-30W Fully Synthetic is ok, unless in extremely low temps. Transmission fluid. Again is it worth changing? Any recommendations? Thanks in Advance PS Just subscribed to the forum ?

I think it was an L reg, I was the mad man in the red Mazda 6 estate waving my hand about out of the window! It had UK front and rear bumpers. Anyone here?

Most of us know this Z, well its now up for sale. https://www.gumtree.com/p/nissan/1992-nissan-300-zx-turbo-530bhp-mot-until-july-2020/1369223813

I have a 1990 TT and have a hissing noise when pressing down the clutch peddle, coming from, it would seem the clutch pedal area. I thought it may be the clutch booster, but I have pulled the vacuum hose off in the engine bay and capped it at the manifold, but the hissing is still there. Only does it when pressing the clutch peddle. If I keep the clutch peddle pressed in about an inch or so it will continually hiss in that area until I push it all the way down or release it when the noise goes away. Doing my head in trying to figure out what it could be, any ideas ?

Hi all, I'm sure i've asked before but what dials has everyone got (if they have any!?) I've got to get my arse in gear this year and get the zed out. It's only done 5000miles since 2011. Just looking for new dials. Don't want to expensive like Defi otr Blitz etz but there is so much Chinese stuff I don't trust anything. Any pointers or suppliers. Thanks all

I would say yes?

Hello. I have had this car for 20 years and about a year ago the car started shaking on idle. I took it to Nissan center, they tested the engine, all running good. They changed the spark plugs, the car looked better for couple of days, and then went to the same. I took it to another Nissan center, they said it was bad injector. They checked it, injectors were good, but the main engine harness was not. Got a new one, the car looked fine, but couple more days and it's shaking again. Also, at high speed it looks like shaking more than normal, but not so sure about that, might be just me trying to overlook the issue. I don't know what else can I do to solve this. The start of…

Hi folks, My Zed has had an intermittent boot-catch problem for the last few months. Initially, it would jiggle and trigger the interior light/door open light, when driving over bumps etc. I adjusted the catch, so that the boot was more tightly closed - which cured it for a while. When it happened again, I replaced the bolts, as the brass ones had clearly become useless. That worked for a while too - until the light started come on when I had a boot full of shopping; IE when I "squashed" the tailgate down. I then bought a second-hand boot catch from Ebay. This worked for a couple of months - and you've guessed it, the damn thing is playing up again - triggering …

Hi guys Got a problem with my offside front indicator not working. My partner has tested various parts of it and found that the bulb is fine, the flasher unit is fine, but the problem lies within the section I've drawn round in red below. Anyone idea where I can get this bulb holder/cable from? Thanks in advance for any help. And also here, a great big thanks to Jimmer at PowerZed for getting the car back on the road for me after local mechanics screwed it up and it was off the road for months. Now just frustrating that I can't legally drive it because of this indicator!

I seem to have developed an issue when keeping a constant speed around 2k revs, the car starts to judder and jolt. If I'm under acceleration it is as smooth as silk through the rev range, its just when on minimal throttle keeping at a steady speed. I'm thinking it is the MAF as it looks like it is dropping out of the fuel map judging by the AFR gauge. Does anyone have any other ideas what it could be or know of a UK based seller of a genuine new MAF? Thanks Luke
