As above, my tubs will be back on Monday and need to do various deletes over weekend ready to refit engine. Thanks Dave

seen this a few times on ebay (always looking even though i cant afford lol) and never looked closely until tonite, it looks a really nice well looked after zed, anyone know whos it is? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1994-NISSAN-300ZX-2-2-Targa-Platinum-Silver-Twin-Turbo-/110979657658?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item19d6e72fba

Hi guys Dumb question, but I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the spoiler on my car. It came with it when I bought it, and looking at the import docs it seems like its been on the car since import. Anyone know what it is? I'm not sure if I like it that much. It seems to be made of two parts, and the bit that says 'Fairlady' at the back seems attached. Cheers

I'm looking for red electroluminescent strip/ribbon/panel to convert my rear light panel so the 300ZX logo lights up. Ebay is no good and I've run out of ideas. It's gotta cover 28cm x 4cm.

Hi everyone, I need some help guys, my zed is sick badly now after last weekend. I been out in basildon for a bit sideways night was epic but at the end of the day soon I was driving home i felt that my engine lost power and its knocking badly. I opened my bonned foun out cylinder 4 spurk plug was out( had broken plug) Soon I pluged in knocking sound didnt gone. So that means I was drifting on 14psi on 5 cylinders, I felt was dont want to slide but I thought that because road is gripy. What damage my engine could have now? Can it be broken valves ? Broken piston rod or bearings? :// if is just a rod rings bearings that not to bad but if valves will be…

Hi ive had some front adjustable camber arms on my zed for around 5 years now .I take them off once a year to clean and re grease but one side is squeaking.The bearing seem to be running dry, rough sounding and course to spin .Can these be replaced think there z centre ones thanks taff.:biggrin:

Can you use ordinary silicone on water pipes etc???? I carry loads in stock and seems a shame to go out and by so say silicone sealant for your car etc

Gday again people!! just went to see how the z is going !! Its is slow but its looking great!! pics dont do it justice So as per usual some pics Oh and its going back to bare metal respray as he discoverd its got about 6-7 layers of paint on it allready

With satin blake bonett and rear spoiler and wheels.nice me thinks a?

Anyone know if the starter motors from non turbo and twin turbo models are the same? Has anyone got a spare motor lying around garage they will sell?? Mines dead! Regards

as above really mostly seems to be in the usa for new ones any good cheap uk based sellers? and while were at it what about the coil pack connectors?

I've had it mind to do my 99 spec copies with full led's for sometime now, finally got all the strip lights I needed to complete the job and yes I am very pleased, might even open up my genuine 99's and led them up :yes:. In this vid you will notice at 1:50 in, I have incorporated a fog light and about half way through I have them on in darkness :thumbup1:. A little later tonight these will be on a well know auction site and seeing as I am pleased with how these have turned out I have ordered more of the lights required to convert more, at the moment then this is the only pair in the whole universe :biggrin:. A lot of time as gone into these and they are no…

Can anyone suggest a good strong and good fitting car cover for swb zed dont wana spend a fortune though thanks :yes:

Ok, got a set of tein coilovers from a r32 gtr. Now Iv fitted the rears but have yet to do the fronts, I know there is a difference between the gtr's and the zed top mounts. Is it a case of swapping them over or modifying the gtr top mounts?

Few years back purchased lightened underdrive pulley from smithy, my question is this [because I cannot remember] are they standard belts.....I think not!

My Z won't fit in my new garage :( It's about half a metre too long ..... And before anybody suggests it, no I can't knock down the garage it's listed .... Not sure what to do at moment. It's been SORN'd for a couple of years, really, really don't want to keep it outside, it may be time to sell ....

My cars been off road for some time now and will be of on lowloader to jeff for new cam/timming belt and setup for ebc can be left alone this time anyways, My question is should i go for a new set of dics for the frount and new brake lines or get a secound hand brembo set up. I have standerd set up at mo with ceramic red pads . any ideas and also anyone got stuff they bought and ant going to fit. or shal i get ome of them moblie brake doctors out?:huh:

Of having my car off the road the longest? 6 years today!!!! lol Sometimes I just can't believe I haven't broken and scrapped the car after the absolute nightmare I've had with people working on my car - But I'm glad I haven't cos I still look at it and think what a beautiful car and think once it's back on the road, it'll all be worth it........................... I owe a ton of grattitude to the guys at Custom Exotics for what they've done and allowing my car to be in their workshop while I've worked on it. I 100% know my car wouldn't be still around if it wasn't for them them!!!!

I posted a lot of pics on my journal and also some requests for comments/advice Especially about that rear bumper I fitted cos I really ain't totally inspired by it now it's on the car Anyway I didnt realise until PMed, that other members can not reply on my journal thread apart from mods and admins! So anyways here are the pics http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?165840-Dicky-s-Zed-Project Yeah I know its good to do your own thing but I'm very much open to opinions and suggestions as I go along.... cheers Rich

its been bothering me for awhile now that the fog light on the rear of my zed is simply the rear lamps.... nothing seperate or bright or anything usefull. however there is no splice in the boot taht i can spot so where would they have teed into this to do it? i want to put an additional proper fog light in the rear. not a gash box hanging but some subte and super bright led. but where do i stat looking for this eletrical mystery?

can someone clear up for me, is the NA sump different from the TT one? i know it has the 2 oil return holes in it and i think one for the cooler, but are they essentially the same dimensions etc? im buying Sherrgar NA, with the intention of ordering a new sump for it but, i cant get one...Nissan no longer keep them...:sad:.. so one of the mechanics suggested modifying the TT sump from one of my spare engines, welding the holes up etc. but i want to know if it will fit.

what do you know of that was offered as a are factory optional extra, or what gems has your zed got on it, im becoming more interested by the day by keeping the car stock clean and period. taht doesnt mean im going to rip off my 18s and put the stock wheels back on(well not just yet) but little gems were out there at the time of production.

Spotted you on Saturday night, just as i came down of the A27 going into Brighton, gleaming white zed TCZ*** at 7pm looked great with a frosty coating, seriously sexy wheels stood out from everything else. are you on here??
