hi guys done some more to my stupid zed lol, started at 12 yesterday had it all done by dark, and it was bloody cold.... can't believe it looked like this couple years back.. and now this, what a mess..

Its in a sad condition and will not be to everybodys tast but its not often you will see a z32 fairlady kitted out in this kit from Japan.The owner says its a Veilside kit but I think he is wrong (there is even a pic of the rear with a Border sticker)and the bonnet is not part of the Border kit plus it should have vented front wings but as a not so well known kit it will one day disapear from the zed scene (I can hear some of you saying good:biggrin:)So I thought I would just flag it up as it is a JDM gem:yes: http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/300zx/300zx-twin-turbo/263711

Can anyone tell me if the front seatbelts on 2+2 lwb are the same on import and uk models, I know they are fixed to the car indifferent positions but are the units themselves identical???

I have just bought my dream car and in the process of getting it ready for the summer, a 1990 twin turbo Fairlady manual, looking for a complete set of hoses for under the bonnet, does anyone have any suggestions or recomendations of where to start and where I can buy these, any help would be gratefully appreciated. Cheers.

think i will stretch her legs today and go for a nice drive

Ok, I've got a jap tt and had a faulty temp gauge. I've also got a rotten UK tt, so I took the full instrument cluster out of the UK car and swapped the clusters. The temp gauge is now fine but the speedometer is misbehaving. Presumably down to a kph to mph converter (although dont remember seeing one behind the cluster). If I remove the converter will the speedo work???

Since my car was de-catted in the summer it seemed a little smokey. Doesn't smoke on idle, or when accelerating off boost, or on decelerating, only when under full boost...keeps smoking for as loong as you hold the foot down, disappears soon as you lift off. I'm sure I can also smell oil when this happens, but not sure if I'm imagining that. When car was de-catted they said the turbos had almost no play and seemed in good order. First stop PCV valves?

was looking on here in the week and some member had put some pictures up of his black softop with bucket seats he also has a silver zed with turbine blade wheels on ,anyone remember his name so i can ask where he got them from as im buggerd if i can find them on the net

Lost some auto gearbox oil when I hadn't tightened up a pipe correctly on radiator so now have no drive! What's easiest way to top up and what kind of fluid do I need to use? Paul

just got some new coilpack connecters can someone suggest the best way to join the wires to the old loom please

Hi all, As Autoresto have stopped doing their LED lights I am now stuck as I've removed my bolt on fog light. Does anybody know of another supplier or can somebody post up a guide to build one for complete idiots? Cheers all.

As the title suggests my AC pump has seized. and with it now been winter, not having any gas in it and probably full of leaks I'm not really too bothered. however when ever i need to use the front de-misters the belt squeal like a bitch and it nearly stalls the car :crying: . So whats the easiest way of sorting this? I'm guessing either cutting the belt, or somehow unplugging the cable to the pump. Or is there a fuse I could pull that wouldn't engage it.

Currently looking like I have a slight bottom end knock and as far as I am aware this can be solved with new con rod bearings so long as there is no other damage. Also, the engine doesn't have to come out to do so. So where can I get new ones? Disclaimer: I'm not a mechanic so correct me if I've said anything stupid.

Hi guys. Lifted the tailgate/boot lid a few days ago, after some heavy rain, been stood for a month or so. Water flooded out and directly onto the rear speakers (and not forgetting the CD stacker in the boot!). How is it getting in?? It seems to be collecting in the plastic trim at the bottom of the rear window. I have no boot spoiler, just a skin blended on and a plastic cover in the recess that the old spoiler left behind. This cover is a little loose, wondering if there's a hole behind it or something!? Cheers H

Recently I had a small wreck on my Z; front license plate frame crashed so actually I have a small replacement wich is not allowed in Spain. So I went to a spanish Nissan dealer and asked them if they can order the stock original license frame...employee looked it up for me on system by the car vin number..and it shows up, but he states is no longer on production..and has been discontinued; I asked him if they could check if they have any one in UK, Japan, or any other Nissan wharehouse in Europe and to my surprise he told me Nissan Spain only has connection with two major wharehouses; Barcelona, and Holland.If it´s not there then...kiss it goodbye...( bloody ridi…

Well, I practically spend my life looking out for other Zeds and very rarely see any (apart from meets and at Zedworld). walked into the lounge room this morning and there is one parked in my street!!!! just managed to snap this shot on my phone before it drove off.

Easy guys, I have a pair of Recaros waiting to go into the Z, but just trying to work out the best of doing this the driver side is a Recaro SPG which is a fixed bucket and will require side mounts, and passenger side is a Recaro Speed Recliner. in regards to driver side SPG seat, I'd imagine it needs to be bolted straight to the floor which I kinda dont wanna do... whats the best way to get these both seats into the car?

On watching this BBC program I couldn't help noticing a certain vehicle in the background, just watch it from 1.30 in and it's 4.40 when you'll see it - it doesn't appear again. Herne Bay in Kent was the location so do we know who's it is? http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01nmdh7/Claimed_and_Shamed_Episode_7/

I have a pair of uk doors with the swage/stripe line removed, and have someone interested in them.....but he has an import with belts attached to the doors and all his interior has been redone in white leather to suit the import belts coming threw the door cards, can he use my doors without the need to re-do his leather???? Dave

My aftermarket water gauge- not sure its reading correctly, at the moment it is spliced in to the Nissan water temp gauge wiring at the dials unit. so the after market gauge & Nissan gauge works together. With the Nissan temp sensor in place wired from that directly to the aftermarket gauge, when tested the gauge went straight up to 100. I've wired the YELLOW/GREEN wire from the ECU to the after market gauge and the zed went bonkers it did not like it. Wire removed. Any ideas anyone. HOW SHOULD YOU WIRE THE AFTER MARKET GAUGE?

Finally got some bought and fitted, think they were 66.1mm to 73.0 mm, cost me £20 in the end. Best £20 I've ever spent :biggrin:. Since I got the car its always had an awful shake but nothing seemed to cure it. I changed the inner hicas ball joints, the outer hicas ball joints, single piece prop, tyres balanced and re balanced, tracking sorted and a wheel refurb. Although the parts I changed clearly needed changing it still never solved the problem, and nobody seemed to know why. But a couple of shitty bits of plastic later and its never felt so good. So thanks to everyone who helped with this, very much appreciated :clap: .

I need someone who can draw or skecth my 300 because i have some ideas of for painting it in two colours but with my body kit i need to see it on paper for i comit, i know there is someone on here but cant remember who, Also dont expect it for free,.
