hi guys done some more rust proofing. I used grey dinitrol 447, and it looked ok but on a white zed thought it would look much better in black so was gonna over paint in gloss black. but instead bought more 447 in black, I think it looks much better. what do you guys think, and now it's got 2 lots of rubber paint so hopefully should be well protected now. and they say it works has a sound proof. before in grey and some in black even did along the wheel arch, when its sprayed next month paint over the bit on the arch and hopefully may help with stones chipping it. thanks for loo king everyone.

Flat tyre when I got back to my car after work today.... AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! That is all.

I have a pair of scorpion back boxes that im going to be selling, now just wondered what they are worth? It's the quad style and they are good condition. Can just be seen in this picture, obviously there is 2 of them.

I think so, similar design to oem...

Not really a zed related question but someone here is bound to know.... My Jap import was (according to the log book) registered in 2003 though it was built in 1992 Date of first registration 05/2003 Date of first registration in the UK 05/2003 Does that mean I can put any plate on the car that I like, up to an xx53xxx registration?

hi peeps, had a hose split on the zed the other day, quite near the end. managed to get the hose off, cut it, and jubilee it back no as a temp measure, but want to replace them now they're getting dodgy. the pipe was drivers side, up near the bulkhead, anyone got a decent photo of the heater matrix hosing up there so I can be sure i'm ordering the right part?

I am looking for people to help me with my engine transplant. Although i am quite handy with the spanners, this is unfamiliar ground for me! I could really use anybody that has experience removing the engine from the 300zx. Even if you havnt done this before the more people i have helping the better! I have use of a 2 post lift plus any tools i require for two days, Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th November. I can be there from 9am till as late as i need. This is a link to where i will be going, Ramp and Wrench Please Please Please, if anybody can come down and help on either or both days, even for just a couple of hours, it would be very much appreciated! I reall…

Dear All, Been a while since I been on here, but the advice I've received in the past has been great. I've finally had the 120k timing belt kit done on Redrum (1995 300zx NA) plus new spark plugs, oil filter, oil change, coolent etc etc PLUS a Stillen cold air intake! WOW! The speed and acceleration is noticeably improved. Now time for another question, I know from previous experience that you cannot adjust the front camber on the 300zx. I know from previous alignment sessions that my front right camber is off by a tiny %, meaning I have a slight pull to the left. I've been told by people on this forum that it could potentially be fixed by putting in a 'Shim' to…

Hi everyone, its been a while since coming on here with a post i have mainly just popped in now and again to have a read due to my zed being problem free for so long. Well that situation changed slightly yesterday... I was at work the other night and a mate of mine came in and told me my car had a leak i didnt believe him as he is the type to mess around with your head like that. When i finished work i did check as im paranoid about stuff like yhat but i couldnt see a leak. I drove home all was fine. The next night i got too work again all fine i deciddd to give it s couple of revs in the car park and check the leak situation again. well.... The passenge…

Can anyone tell me the Internal Diameter or size of the Turbo Intake Outlet Pipe please?? Wanna replace my old rubber ones with some nice silicone pipe!! Borrowed a picture from the "Boost Leak Guide" Also the length of the pipe I need wold be handy or any dimentions!! Its the pipe with "airflow" written on it..

After Druling over Baz`s autumy pics a few days ago, I thought it would be rude not to do the same myself, so off I went to my favourite pic spot and snapped away, got home and downloaded them, and though "is that it"??`Anyway after re-checking my camera, loads more were stored on my memory card and not the camera :D Happy DayZ, so here we go :)

Im reading different things on how to prep old paintwork for new paint. So far i've thoroughly degreased everything. Sanded off any bits of surface rust then rubbed with thinners and sprayed those spots with primer. Now how do I prep the old paint so the new paint sticks properly? I've read about keying the surface with wet and dry but isn't that just going to make it dusty? With the way thinners removes paint it seems pointless to sand it then rub with thinners or is that the way it's supposed to be done?

Hi All Been a while since I've been on here...perhaps a testament to how well the Zed has been running! lol I have a rough running issue which I believe to be related to cylinder 6. I've checked CAS, PTU, injectors are ticking, checked all connections around the engine bay etc. I'm thinking it may be something to do with the coil pack or the spark plug.... ...however, I don't have the tools or know how to go much further. I've just moved house too so don't know anyone local that might be able to assist. So does anyone on here know of anyone in the locale or Croydon / South London that might be able to? Thanks in anticipation! Vig

Just bought it but it seams a bit to good to race (well way to good) 71k and 3 owners, bit untidy bodywork wise but not bad, needs a windscreen and exhaust manifold bolt replacing for the mot

This is Lucy my new Zed mechanic!! she put my coilover`s on today for me, well cheaper than zedworld!! just some chocolate buttons is all she wanted ;) just rolling my sleeves up:)

picture's of my mates integra, he had to bake it and apply so many layers, took him ages but it looks class. was thinking of maybe doing mine in red.... What you guys think?

Todays action at Santa Pod dint get going till around 11.00am due to misty/foggy conditions and a very wet track. When we got going i was lined up against and old school dodge (Dart??) with a big V8 installed. Car was a mid 12s contender so as you would imagine I was some distance behind him soon after launch!! However at around the 1000ft mark his whole firbre glass front end flew up and over the car skywards before heading to the centre of the track. I reckon he was doing nearly a ton when it happened. i rapidly dived to my left and lifted off the gas before passing the front end now lying slap bang between the two lanes. :sad: No damage to the car or driver a…

oh dear, I made a big hole lol, found some rust in the seams so decided to cut it out and at the same time I will be able to get rid of where my hicas use to bolt too. got a new bit welded in, but couldn't take no pics cause it poured down with rain. hopefully be able to grind wields down and make it nice and smooth.

Fitted my MeisterR`s today that I bought from Andy Isherwood and tried to take some Baz inspiring pics, but couldn't get the right autumn`y shot :( oh well here`s the best 2
