A very nice surprise today to see a 300zx in sarn a small village near Bridgend. Looked totally standard on a h plate I even took a picture in shock! :-)

as above tried to get a qoutation via confused.com earlier the cheapest was £849 and when i rang for more details they said i had to many mods! what next?

Originally put this in the north west section but no joy. So just seeing if there were any convoys at all from the north/midlands that I could tag along to. It's half the fun driving to the event if your in a decent convoy. Cheers Danny

Car is currently partially drained of brake fluid after refurbishing the calipers. How much fluid will I need to replace and bleed? Will a litre bottle suffice? I can't seem to find a definitive answer searching and the manual doesn't say.

I'm looking at some godspeed sidemounts Are they a direct bolt on the to 2 inch pipework or do they need a 2.5 inch upgrade?

Hi my NA Zed recently got wrote off by a Corsa and Im looking to buy myself another but a TT. Ive been looking about and i came across this on Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171005673227?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619 My brother suggested asking on the forum to see if anyone knew anything about this car or had been to see it?

Finally got round to fitting my new scuttle panels and they look great. Took the old panels of and cleaned the metal work underneath. Then I put the new panels on the car but as the vents were a lot bigger than the original so I painted the metal behind the vent black. So new Carbon Fibre panels were fitted and they look so good against the red bonnet :yes: pics taken in the garage are not great but will take better pics when I get the wipers on (getting sprayed satin black)

Just doing a delivery in Milford on sea and seen a very tidy dark grey 300 parked up off Cornwallis road. It's weird you don't see any ones around for years then you buy one and they start popping up all around. Nice looking car, looks like its been well looked after.

Hi, Founds these coilovers they are meant to be tein and they are going for a good price. Any thoughts? Apparently meant to be around 700 RP.

Ok, still haven't got my zed back from the paint shop but seriously considering going back to a mk2 golf ( vr6 or 1.8t ), so was wondering what kinda money i could be looking at for my zed? i know it may be a bit difficult to put a price as i dont have pictures of it rebuilt after paint.

Does anyone know if it's possible to test my profec b solenoid, as I'm sure its causing a boost issue I've got? The boost controller has worked perfectly since I fitted it 18 months ago, until recently. The car initially started boosting a lot higher than normal, so i adjusted the settings, which had no effect. I turned the controller off and still had the same problem. I've bypassed the solenoid now and the car is fine again, but obviously only running standard boost. The display appears to be operating okay, so is there a way of confirming it's the solenoid?

I must say, this is the first car I've owned and keep my eye on the fuel gauge as often as I do on the speedo. But you know what i wont change it for the world. :biggrin:

Hi Jeff just finished and I'm up and running again all is well, i did find a fuel leak from a hose as well!! A BIG THANKYOU for all your help & support :angel: Cheers Paul

Is it humanly possible to remove the oil filter tree in a twin turbo model without pulling the block or turbo. Yes I know it will be tight and my knuckles might bleed, but im up for a laugh if its possible. just don't want to waste time on getting frustrated over something that isn't actually possible.

So who's running one on here, I had a Nismo 2 way on my s13 was an amazing upgrade made such a big difference, I've got a welded diff on my zed at min but think really I should go for another 2way It seems zed owner only use either the standard TT one or an Na never hear of people fitting a 2way or even a 1.5 Yet so many people ask how to improve handling this is a great way

Having put my radio console back in today and in 3.5 years of ownership I could never just get right this center long screw cover strip, the previous owner/s have attached velcro and another one I have here as some blue tack on it of all things :thumbdown:. Now all it needs is the clips which you see in the first pic bending, so this is wrong and sprained - what you don't want, this'll lead to the cover not fitting flush enough to the console. You cannot bend them back in situ so just tease up the claws that hold them on and slide the clips off, put a pair of pliers on the claw end and just bend with your fingers until they are back straight or even a…

Now that i have my heater bypassed, will my AC still work? Want to put it through its MOT before i replace the turbos so that i know about anything else that is wrong with it. With the smoke issues that it has because of the turbos it won't pass but turning on the AC raises the idle enough to deal with it most of the time. Just don't want to fill the garage up with fumes.

gday all!!! And Here in Sunny Tassie nother nice day/weekend. Went for another drive up north to the pilot station and took a couple of pic's Well a lot of pics but here are a couple :biggrin:
