Got these a few months ago & finally got round to working on them. As you can see on the before and after pics they've polished up pretty nice. Took a while to split them though as some of the bolts were seized. Used a whole can of wd40 to soak them in but had to grind about 10 of them off. Gona polish the lips up a bit more and spray the middle black. Think they will look good in the end.

hi all , what is the reccomend oil for a NA diff , and what quantity will it take please thanks Sayers

Just seen this on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300-ZX-2d-autoTarga-14-000-MILES-14-000-MILES-Classic-Car-/350463808935?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item51994555a7

Hi, sorry for repost but this is driving me nuts. Theres a HKS evc 1 boost controller installed in my zed, although ive never used it yet it was powering up fine, but since having a flat battery, and since recharging it the unit wont power on anymore, does anyone know if theres a in-line fuse for this? or does it run directly from the ignition? ive traced the wire loom from the rear of the unit and all seems in order and im unable to find a fuse....... help!

what a stonking little zed!

Hi Guys, i just had a rude awakening this morning after my car horn going off continuously for an hour. Neighbor knocked on the door and i ignored it after looking at the time, i thought who the F*** is knocking this time of the morning on a Sunday ( 8am). It wasnt until i heard this constant noise like someone has a hoover on outside cleaning their car, that i got up to investigate. Why couldnt i hear it? Last night i couldnt park outside my own house as some tit a few doors up decided to park his van there and i had to park down the road. ( cant wait till my drive is done lol) Anyway i had this happen once before, where the horn started on its own constantly :h…

Hey guys most of you woulda seen the mess that is my engine bay by now but if not heres a reminder Any advice on what i can do to clean it up abit ie clean it etc. Im scared to jet wash it due to the electrics in there and the fact i could flood the engine i have brought some engine degreaser but im looking for other ways to get it cleaner ie what pipes i could buy etc - i do have a dremel with wire brush attachments

So, having successfully removed both 02 sensors, I am now contemplating gutting the pre cats in situ while the sensors are out. I understand there is a noticeable power gain to be achieved. I have read about using the threaded hole to soak the ceramic material with oil so as to prevent the dust from damaging the turbo seals. Also, I was thinking of maybe rigging up an airline so as to run a constant flow of air from upstream, via the 02 threaded bore, this way I could make sure that the dust flowed away from the seals. What's everyones thoughts? Are there any additional precautions or tips that I may need to consider? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, may seem like a stupid question but just want to confirm is a Manual TT diff the same as an Auto TT diff? Cheerz

sorry bud, you need to a subbed member to sell on here,

Can I replace one of my smoking turbos on my Manual with one from an Auto? Is it just the exhaust flange which needs to be changed or is the whole unit different? Thanks, Dan

Hi all, left fog light on overnight and it drained my battery, but since charging it back up my HKS boost control valve wont power on, ive checked connections at the rear of the unit all plugged in ok, was wondering if there is a fuse anywhere? as may have blown when reconecting charged battery? Thanks in advance

has anyone done any track time, or prepared an Na as a track car? my plan was always to use the na as a daily drive and fix up the dead tt as a track car, but i sold the TT to buy a SWB shell, which turned out to be beyond saving so only have my NA, which isn't getting used as im riding to and from work. i used to do alot of track and drift sessions back when i had a 200sx, been looking at adjustable suspension and big brake conversions etc. just wondered what everyone opinion would be on an Na track car? i just love the way my Na drives and handles, its a '95 lwb Na, and it would have to remain road legal, should i do it or get rid and b…

Anyone ever used these? Any thoughts? Would like to know how they would be installed and are they a good fitment? I always feel the rear bumper on the 300zx is missing something, just needs something at the bottom. http://www.zcentre.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.tpl&product_id=315&category_id=86&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=7

About to tackle removing both 02 sensors at the week end. :scared: Can someone tell me the exact size socket I will need please?:confused1:

Really seeing a trend with failed injectors occuring here, having changed a second one today this week, also have sent out two good used injectors for owners to change themselves, and since January I have done 3 others, cannot be all a chance can it? this particular injector failed during a journey rather than at start up after been shut down overnight which the most common way. Anyhow todays poorly zed had been diagnosed by another garage so I did a few tests myself to be sure and as it happened the original diagnostic was correct, again I thought a few pics may help anyone doing this as this time it was number 2 cylinder so although the basic job approach is the …
