Hi guys, can I use a 5mm slip on spacer on the rear with stock studs? Not talking about the universal jobbies but the slip on hubcentric ones with the correct centre bore etc.

Just doing the EGR delete, what size is the plug for the turbo? Is it M22x1.5?

Before i took my 1990 JDM TT auto off the road 2018 the brakes were locking up big time under hard braking.I skidded 3 times and thought this scares the crap out of me!!!I have got uprated 350z discs,New pads,And bits and bobs from Concept Z to make them fit and hopefully in couple of months will dismantle and rebuild calipers,Use stainless steel lines and brakes will be better than before.Does anyone know if 1990 JDM came with ABS as obviously if this could be faulty i will pull ABS unit out and have it rebuilt or replaced.Cheers.

Which would you guys recommend? I’m about ready to start rebuilding the off side area around the intercooler and along the front box section where the oil coolers sit (I can’t think what this areas correct name is). The tin work around these areas are in great condition but I’d like to make sure it stays that way. As there is no top coat here (it looks like it’s just painted in primer grey) I was toying with painting the area black. Would this be over kill? There is a strong possibility that I’m going to spray the bay black one day and will certainly get it professionally painted when the day comes that there is an engine out job to do. What would you guys …

Hi Guys, I’m hoping someone in the community might be able to help. I urgently need to buy a working fuel injector for my 300zx TT it’s a 1993 import with the early injectors.

Hi, Can someone advise what is best to do for replacement front shocks? The OEM ones are a long wait from Japan (probably even longer with whats going on at the moment!) and I have heard some horror stories about after market ones. I've been quoted 528 dollars each from stock in the US which seems a tad silly. Any suggestions?

Z will be in the garage for a few months so its jacked up and all four wheels off to get at the wheel arches for a deep clean. Front and rear undersides also deep cleaned and of course the 4 alloys. This will keep me busy on these cold wet days and find it very therapeutic after a very traumatic Christmas. Love cleaning and working on this car, bring on the Summer for some fast road driving.. Some pics.

….Albeit an edible one!! I could not believe it when the waiter brought this to the table yesterday - Julia had this amazing cake made and I just could not take a knife to it, so I boxed it up and took it home. My very own Zed in cake form, for my 50th....

Hi, My heater matrix has sprung a leak and the garage seem to be struggling to get a replacement (waiting on a call back from them atm, but it's been over a month so far & I don't hold much hope), so probably my best bet is to source one myself. 1. Is the heater matrix the same for NA and TT? (car is also SWB but I am guessing that doesn't matter!) 2. Any recommended source? I found https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/113344885229 £60 Kenjutsu brand from Conceptua Tuning, so if nothing else (and assuming NA/TT use same part), I'll go for that. Cheers for any help! Brian

I'm trying to find out what the codes on the ECU mean with the end goal of buying another NA ECU. When ever I type anything with the words "ECU" and "codes" into Google, all I get are the fault codes. I have a spare ECU with a big "36" on it, but I think it's a TT ECU. I've seen ones for sale with "21" and ""25" I think. Does anyone know of a list of all the different codes and what they mean? I want to buy a NA manual ECU as mine might be causing problems and wish to troubleshoot Thanks!

This Jap Auction notification popped into my inbox on monday. Version R twin turbo manual in midnight purple. So I'm thinking maybe I should bid on it !!. Well it sold on thursday night at wait for it.........£21,000 at the hammer. So with taxes , shipping and import and fees it would likely be closer to £29,000. So 1st question did someone on here buy it ? It was a great car by the looks of it but it did have the load cover missing and a couple of the boot plastics missing too but all easily sorted. I need to change my agreed value....again !! Which is good

Hello UK zx from new zealand! I have finally seperated my zx rear panel after two tries to expose the zx 300 to illuminate with LED. Have you done this and how did you heat the assembly? any tips apreciated.

Just changed cambelt, 1st cyl Tdc, all cam markers in right place and also crank marker, belt was put on with white lines all matching. Question is when I rotate engine white marks on belt never come back as started!! Do they ever re line up? Every time I rotate, all camshaft and sprocket marks are ok. Has anybody any idea on this!

Just wanted to say thanks to Jimmer for his call back and advice earlier today. Top man, thanks. See you in Aug for next main service ?

Hey all. I am after an Auto Techy to check out a 2005 350z. Immobiliser issues and can’t get it started. Needs electronic gadgetry to find the cure. Any recommendations would be appreciated. located in the Basingstoke area (hampshire). thank you.

Wasn't too happy with the side and front lights be If a little different. Just felt a little messy. The indicator (outer lights) are a mixture of light home made. I have Z1 BA Massive intercoolers so lights just don't fit. So I used some crystal clear ones, chopped the backs and inverted it (messy but worked). I also then used the glass from some of the lined indicators to match the fogs. I initially painted the inside chrome but then they didn't match the fogs and headlights. So now painted them a better colour. Originally the fogs are chrome inside but as you can see, mine were dull and rough at best. So, I completely disassembled them, cl…

Came across this article by Road and Track on the JUN Auto 300ZX which went on to set a record speed of 260.809 mph in '91 at the Bonneville salt flats. This car is well known. However a less well known (at least to me) car exists also built by JUN Auto. At the request of a private individual a one-off commission was undertaken to build a clone of the JUN Auto 300ZX used in the first record attempt in '90. This is the article together with another about the owner Tomohiro Aono and his collection of cars. https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a29665479/the-worlds-fastest-nissan-300zx/ And the owner Tomohiro Aono and his collection of…
