I did some stuff for a guy in Sweden recently and he wants to buy a Zed from the UK and get it imported to Sweden. Would anyone know what processes/forms etc he would need or go through? He mentioned a V5 form but I dont know what that is :whistling: He has found one or 2 Zeds that are looking really promising and then he plans to fly over and hopefully buy one then drive it home (obviously via a ferry I should imagine) Any help would be really appreciated guys that I could forward onto him. Cheers :thumbup1:

Hey guys, Are the front wings from a UK Z straight swappable with an import Z?? And am I right in thinking that the targas definitely are not the same?? I'm sure I've read that here somewhere already. Just making sure. Many thanks

Im thinking of removing my fog lights and installing air ducts as i feel they will look better, but where would I then situate or move my fog lighting to? Any ideas fellas?

Hi Where can i get the following connectors? I need to replace them as the metal prongs have snapped due to age when checking bulbs. Can i get the whole plug to just solder back in or even just the metal centres. They are the side light plugs on the same light as the front fog.

Hi guys A few days ago I swapped my ECU chip from a TurboNoz Stage 1 back the the OEM one, to see the difference. The car mostly runs fine, and it might be my imagination but it seems a bit smoother and quieter which is nice. Anyway the one problem I am having is with the car idling. When cold it idles perfectly, rock steady at around 1000rpm. As the engine warms it goes down to around 700ish, which I am led to believe is correct. After a bit more driving (maybe 15 minutes) the idle starts to fluctuate, sometimes dropping as low as 500 rpm. It also feels like it hesitates a bit from a standing start. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on why …

can anyone tell me what happened to this ?? i got one email then nothing ...did it all fall through ?

Been through everything with my n/a jap import Z I can confirm *no air leaks *all electircal components ohm test fine, are connecting well and operating correctly. *cas has to be turned to full advance to have any power. cas has been checked, is no wear to splines or half moons in cam end or cas unit itself. *using around 50 litres fuel for 300km mixed driving. *fitted an aftermarket fuel reg, fuel at 43psi when engine cold and barely missing, fuel pressure drops to 40psi at idle when upto temp and missing issues increase. *fuel filter when emptied can only be described as instant coffee granules in my fuel *park car outside shops warm, sometimes har…

is there anyway to sort out the retraction of the above seat belts? ive had my door one off today and it was a bit foobar when opening it up, had bits fall out due to age, it still works, but i have to feed it back into its roller, the passenger side is even worse and really needs some encouragement to get back into its resting place.

Does anyone know of a company or even a person that could be a Uk distributor for Twinz Design? (Not Z-Centre) I'm after some of their brilliant stuff but they tell me the nearest distributor they have is in mainland Europe which makes delivery prices absolutely crazy! They are currently looking for a UK distributor so I thought I might try and help.

Hi guys, Been messing about with my car getting body panels etc fitting right before painting. Bought 99spec rear spoiler, fitted it on boot and now don't know if I like it.... It looks weird. Then there's a thread on here about 99spec rear lights. Find it in a second and write what it's called and there's white z with no spoiler which looks great. Making me want to stay spoilerless. I hate this car lol. So guys what would use do 99spec spoiler or no spoiler. 99spec looks weird from some angles or is it just me. Boot is black and spoiler red gotta be painted not helping much. Seems spoiled is not wide enough. Maybe if all the same colou…

Hi Guys, Is there any replacements for the rear light bulbs that make them more brighter? Mine seem a bit dull to be honest.

Reet, I shall start at the beginning... When I rebuilt my engine, I bought several tubes of, apparently, the best liquid gasket there is, from the company that re-bored my block. Turns out this stuff is utter pants, goes on great, but turns to dust after a couple of months. So, after monumental failure of it in various places, (including the water hard pipes at the front of the engine), it failed on both VTC solenoids, but the drivers side being the worse, in a short time, without knowing, it pissed most of it's oil out, all over everything (my shiny and brand new SS exhaust looks like it has been tarmacked). I only knew, after booting it, I would leave a motorway fu…

Went for drive Saturday hit a pothole now look at my wheel . MOT in two weeks then was selling the car just my luck:mad2:

Mailbox is full Mate....

Daft ones but just want to be sure before I get started. Would you fit a new crankshaft oil seal and crankshaft bolts? Anybody know the torque settings? Is Mr F the best place for these? Gearbox oil - any preferences, how much and where are the level filling points Im fitting a fidanza flywheel so should I put new flywheel to crank and pressure plate to flywheel bolts on or can I re use? Should I use loctite and what torque settings are they? Lots of questions, just want to be certain before I have a go.. Cheers

i finally got around to trial fitting my new rear lights today . hopefully i,ll get them wired up tomorrow and go for the big switch on . [ATTACH=CONFIG]66553[/ATTACH

Hi, Trying to get something wired up and there's 2 gray wires labelled to be connected to the starter solenoid. Any idea where I can wire these into? Cheers Vijay

Decided to take my first engine apart after it fail .. due to suspected oil pump problem Low Oil Pressure ! Well here are the pics

This was Sonics old car and now on ebay for spares as a non runner , if Colin comes on let us know. I thought it had a warranty with the garage. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO-UK-MANUAL-TARGA-INTERIOR-BUMPER-EXHAUST-BREAKING-/251160130315?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a7a4f730b

I want to rewire my side lights from my award winning fairy lights down next to my front indicator lights. I found the FAQ http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?76538-LED-front-side-lights but a lot of it is about making a hole and fitting the bulb into the light enclosure, . I already have that in mine as they are US style ones. What bulbs and additional work would be needed to change the standard bulbs into LED's so that they match my HID lights?

hi guys car is still restricted which I believe is 118mph bit surprised when it drove faster. I was getting the speed from a gps, I know that the clock does not read true but how inacurate would you expect the regulator to be?

Hi Guys, i'm in the process of putting a gearbox back onto my car, before the gearbox is installed, is there anything that needs to be put on first, above the box, i seem to recall something but its been so long that my tablets wont let me remember. I've got a heatshield that goes further down over the drive shaft, so thats one, but i thought there was 2...Also, if you know of any gotchas, things that i remember to do only after i have put it all back, i would appreciate your input, and pictures dont forget...
