Hi. Bought some hid 6000k kit. Was wondering how hard it is to fit on a zed? Do I have to make any holes in the light unit?

Here.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300zx-N-A-Project-car-/261190473418?_trksid=p5197.m1997&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D16%26meid%3D6564328585240696034%26pid%3D100016%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D3%26sd%3D121086166921%26 Well the door cards and dash panels anyway

Would a na diff fit a twinturbo or would i need the half shafts to? Or could i remove the diff out of the na case and put it in2 the tt one? Oh its a twoway:punk:

Hello again. Hi have any of you guys done a door alignment on your zed? ive got a print out of what needs to be done but what if its the pin thats worn and not the hinges loose/ need tightening? any suggestions?

Luckily me and my better 0.5 and the Zed found a really good pub. Where we could do this in between freezing our collective butts off in the great Darzet outdoors Won't go back in the summer, it'll be full of they bloody tourists moi dear.

Namely my little red slicktop and me in the background checking under a bonnet (always the way) with Hitman's just behind :) http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01rc0wb/Officially_Amazing_Episode_1/ about 20ish seconds in but various zeds throughout the drag racing section :clap:

after toiling with the prospect of spending £££££££ on a set of genuine Nismo rims for my 350z and the actual lack of a set to purchase ive come up with three possible alternatives which i'd like some opinions on..... These are a stop gap wheel until I can find a set of the genuine Nismos which look like this....: When i find my genuine set, the stop gap wheels will find themselves on the 300 :) so, basically ill add the other three below, let me know which you prefer........ TSW Stowe - which i think capture the look of the spokes well..... TSW Jarama - which i have seen on a 350 and look really nice to be honest..... TSW Carthag…

Local to me and saw it thought it may be of use to someone for parts/breaker http://www.hbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/zyview/D=vehicles/V=bidding/R=5086905

Saw a black Z on monday evening on mount pleasant road driving towards Ace cafe.

When setting up an EBC are there any ideal locations for the solenoid? I remember reading something like the vacuum hose should be as short as possible between the solenoid and the manifold, or the solenoid and the controller but I can't remember which or where I read it. Does anyone have any input on this? Secondly, depending on the answer to the question above im trying to work out how much 4mm and 6mm hose I need. I am running the stock recirc valves, turbos and wastegates with an aftermarket EBC. Thirdly, with regard to 'T-ing' of vacuum line for use by different items such as multiple boost gauges and boost controllers etc is there any problem with accuracy…

Made me chuckle :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300-zx-Barn-Find-Turbo-/121086166921?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1c314c4789

Can anyone help/advise me on how to ad a small video please? (maybe there is a how to link?) I have this worrying top end rattle near the rear of the engine just at the point of coming off throttle. Difficult to describe, so would love you guy's to have a listen. Cheers in advance.

Hello all, As you may already know, ive not had the car that long, but the first thing i done to her was oil and filter change, fuel filter change, plugs changed (iridium) , starts first time everytime. brilliant response from the throttle, but theres a little white smoke and what seems to be water-oil-soot type stuff spitting out the exhausts, is this due to the turbos going tits up? or is it just cos of the size of the back boxes? she smokes a little when started from cold but when i floor it theres hardly any or none at all. i guess im just being causious , i dont want the thing to give up on me, and if theres anything i can do to prevent this im happy to take y…

Just a quickie, would hard pipes from an n/a fit a TT?

alright bud, did the one way valve trick today, haven't had chance to road test the car but first observation is a crazy amount of vacuum in the valve covers, when you remove the filler cap it sounds like a friggen dyson... is that normal?

Saw a black 300 between livingston and the m8 at about 11:30 this morning. Had a spoiler on the back. I was coming towards you in a blue lorry from the m8, flashed a few times at you. First one ive seen this year.

Hi guys, my knowledge is a bit rusty/vague... can someone tell me what these are specifically as i want to sell them, i think they are front water pipes from an N/A (They're not chrome plated but have a sort of chrome powder coat, its very nice and really smooth) Rich

hi all, my 300 has been advised on the front drivers side bottom ball joint on its mot. Ive tried my local motor factors which i use for / thro work. All they could come up with was a bottom arm complete with ball joint. but is was 643 pounds ! yes 643 pounds. Suffice to say i didnt order one. My question is this is it possible buy just the bottom ball joint. If so can anyone point me in the right direction as to who from and how much. Cheers, Rich

Hey Guys, Wanted to find out what would be the cost of doing a wide arch conversion? I am trying to find out the cost of parts, labour and any other parts that would need to be change on the zed too. Cheers! Was looking for something like this http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3056793/1991-nissan-300zx-turbo-coupe-2d/

Looking for recommendations on products I can use to clean my engine bay? Car is back from being painted and is now looking the part, just need to clean up in the bay for it to be 100%.

Ok bit of a problem, the fuel filler flap wont open on the zed!!! Any ideas how to get it open???

So many things wrong in this zed for sale can you spot them:detective: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300-zx-Barn-Find-Turbo-/121086166921?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1c314c4789

If you take off the interior boot plastic panels, either side you can see the inside face of the rear quarter. If you stick your head in the hole and shine a torch down you can see the seams where the rear quarter skin joins the inner arch skin and the structure inside the boot, all meeting in the bottom corner. From the outside, this is the bit behind the rear wheel, down the bottom, the little lip that collects all the dirt. Today I set about rust proofing inside this area when I noticed quite a bit of dirt inside especially in the bottom corner on the petrol filler side (lwb) where it has congregated, so I decided to clean it all to get it protected. When I w…

Anyone any experience with this. I'm insured with Adrian flux. And pay through through the teeth for road insurance. Rang then today to see about trackday cover (for Japfest initially, it will want it for other days). They qouted me £130 for the day, but only covers up to £1000. What feckin good is that. Is that just how trackday insurance is or are flux hammering me. Any advice welcome. Have done a few trackdsys before without cover, but as I plunge more and more cash into the car, feel like I should have it. Cheers Danny

Hi all,. got a problem with my boost controller, after sorting out the no power issue, the unit which is on top in the picture now doesnt do anything, before it was making a sound, now nothing, i was wondering if these get clogged up? or dirty? may need a clean?
