Not sure if anyone's spotted it before Z32 vert in American Pie 2

Prices will be staying the same as last year: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tenofthebest/10151439926648833/?ref=notif&notif_t=group_activity Dave Naxton is offering a special group purchase price, and has this to say: I believe Bobgenie is looking to compete again. I doubt very much my Zed will be as quick over the 1/4 as my MR2, but it's a highly-strung beast so it may pop at an inopportune moment. I didn't enter last year as part of a club (I was running the only Pulsar there!), and I haven't heard anything about an IMOC presence there this year, so I'll be more than glad to help with any organising if required :) For those that…

This may be a rookie question but what is overdrive? What are the affects of it being on or off in the zx auto? Always wondered? Cheers guys

Comedy from 2005 called Waiting. Can't find a clip of it but if anyone can, or has it, there appears to be a modded zed in the background of the car park at around 7minutes 30. Just started watching it and spotted it, thought I'd share that.

i have r32 breaks on my zed and they are in need of a refurb badly has anyone got a good idea which caliper paint is the best for the job

Hi guys, is there anything on the outside of the lights that tell me if it's for a left or right hand drive car? A set of each of mine have got mixed up and having a mare with my car so can't connect one to the battery. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Removed the fuel pump today to insert fuel foam to try and baffle the fuel a bit. I noticed in the tank is a square shaped kindof baffle with a hole in the rear at the bottom of it and a slight cut off at the top of the front. So the baffle fills up under breaking and empties during hard acceleration. Is this ideal? The baffle is made of plastic so I cut a small section out at the front to allow fuel to fill during acceleration. Maybe i should have made some cut outs on the sides aswell to prevent starvation during Cornering?!?

Changing from having a touchscreen in the radio bezel, and going back to the standard twin din oem bezel. Problem i've just remembered is that I had to hack away parts of the dash in order to allow the touchscreen to fit in correctly with it attached to the rear of the modified radio bezel. From what I remember there are several metal brackets & plates that bolt in there allowing a din cage to be clipped in for the stereo unit. I should have these brackets somewhere :( Can anyone photo me up so I can see whats missing and where it goes? Just hoping i didn't hack away parts of the dash where the metal brackets fix to... thx jay

Hi guys, Primered engine bay yesterday, and was happy till I got home from work, Seem to have a reaction problem, I used dinitrol stonechip that is overpaintable on the chassis rails either side of engine bay at the bottom and the area where battery tray is plus the opposite side, thought it may be a bit harder wearing... Stonechip was dried for maybe couple weeks before it got painted over, came home had a bubble so picked it and it pulls of in lumps has u can see in one of the pics, the stonechip is soft and sticky now so primer has reacted somehow, The other pic is where I have pushed my finger nail in, all the rest of bay is rock hard and won't sc…

Can anyone tell me whats the difference between the QNO Paint code? That one i imported from Japan it was a 1995 paint code QNO. This is the one i have now its a 1996 QNO paint code but the car is a lot whiter and as i have painted the quarters and the color is perfect match to the car in the first picture but nothing like the white it should be?if anyone could shed some light on the whole QNO paint codes i would appreciate it.Thanks

Will be doing an oil change in the next couple of weeks. Other than letting it drain for a couple of days or so, are there any other tricks so as to get as much old oil out as possible?

Old one broken, got a new one, can't get at the top nut. Any ideas? Somebody must have changed one before. Do I really have to start stripping out everything from above just to get at that one nut??

Floor Box and Amp display who would be interested in me building them a Floor box with Sub mounted inside it ? it will be a solid wood floor with the Amp and Sub below the floor but with Perspex tops light from under to show off the amp and sub .. the option can be Sub one side and Amp other keeping your spare wheel in place or with a Larger speaker in the middle and 1>2amps each side What you think

My heart says do an engine swap yet my head says get shot of it! what to do?? car only owes me 550 quid at mo.

Probably already gone on about this in the past, but now at the end of the month i will be purchasing a wide arch kit for my zed and was wondering before i go quoting does anyone on here know of a good bodykit fitter/sprayer at reasonable prices? Any help guys so I know what to budget on

Hi guys, the zed project i am looking at has skyline r34 rear lights grafted in, would not be my personal choice so i am thinking of grinding out all the welding work the previous owner has done to get them in there!! However before i do has anyone seen a zed with it done or even BETTER got ay pictures of a zed with r34 lights ?? If it looked good i may well finish what they started but i cant picture the converstion done to help me decide,(if that makes sense)

seeings as this isnt actually a car club more of a gentlemens club, where we all convince ourselves were saine. i thought id ask the following of you all. :devil2: ive got a wedding like in two weeks.... i need to write a best man speech....trouble is i don't actually know the groom very well.....:pinch: but were here now. so anyway some tips hints useful resources would be great.

Is it just mine or are all the lights that Nissan fitted on the 300ZX crap? Anyway, sick of not being able to see at night when reversing I decided to do something about it today First of all I used four x 3 Watt white LEDs and put two each side. I used some resistors I had lying around (rather than buying some wirewound ones) I used 22 ohm resistors, six in parallel then another six in parallel to give a total resistance of about 8 ohms. They dissipate quite a bit of heat! I would suggest if anyone wants to build a similar circuit you just by a couple of power resistors instead The pics tell the story well.... so here goes. The little bits of wire stick…

Anyone have any idea where to buy this kind of thing? Not much coming up in eBay. They are for my bumpsteer track rod ends.

some silly questsions :drool: I've got the stock replacement KYBs on the car with standard shock but I've no idea how the damper setting works (they were on the car when I picked it up) 1. I take it the higher the number selected, the harder the ride? 2. How do you adjust the front setting properly. Do you turn the pot on top of the turret by pushing the pot downwards? or just turn it without pressing it down (not sure) thx

Beside the very intersting thread discussing (finally!) about what are the real advantages of a good engine mapping, I would like to show you my small part of the Emerald learning on the subject... Maybe in my presentation http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?166760-A-Z32-driven-to-France-for-a-new-or-continued-life-into-a-nice-home! you have pointed that my Emerald experience started two years ago with the 280ZX IMSA Supercharged. The car was in parts with the supercharger, Sprintex 30 years old, not even assembled on the engine. The existing Emerald management on there was DOS based, and turned rapidly to a piece of museum history. Emerald proposed an e…
