Hi Clint Thrust Please can you contact me Urgently 07738974662 Thanks

Hi guys I’ve seen a few power steering pots looking like new. Is draining the power steering fluid relatively simple? How have you got the new finish? Is there much to worry about when it comes to refilling the system? Same sort of questions for the HICA unit. Obviously it’s not painted, how would I go about getting this removed and refurbished? Cheers Chris.

What do you guys reckon would be the value of the car considering the engine is as good as they say? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F312762130789

If you want a modified 300zx then this is the one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-Nissan-300ZX-Strosek-LS3-V8-Targa-2-2-Z32-Manual-6-2L/274003309185?hash=item3fcbdeb281:g:ktwAAOSwCONdeEWp

After selling my 300 five years ago to fund a Jaguar XKR , I'm back in the club and back in a shorty TT targa. The jag, as beautiful as she is just didn't cut the mustard as a drivers car. Like being a passenger in the drivers seat. I've managed to get hold of an immaculate unmolested silver 96 swb with only 62k miles.Its good to be back

Nice article on the Revolfe S.A. Nissan 300ZX Z32 by Bilstein. https://www.bilstein.com/uk/en/blog/performance-built-to-last-revolfe-s-a-nissan-300zx-z32/

After removing the air ducts from my car, in preparation for a good clean, I was left thinking that I must have missed something as they looked really ineffective. I took a look at the drawing of the system and it really does look pointless. Does the air ducting really just “draw air in” from the top of the front quarter panel? If I’m using a cone filter is there any point in retaining the ducting? Cheers, Chris.

Not seen one of these before, for sale on Ebay, with a bunch of other models. Jeff

So to help me list what parts go where I need to know the names of things. This way I can bag everything separately and label accordingly, making the rebuild a whole lot easier. My first part is this water bottle? And this bracket? Thanks for your help.

Hi guys I thought that while I’m busy cleaning up the front of my car I’d have a look at reinstalling the headlight washers. Personally I love the look of them. Has anyone got a drawing of how they are installed and a list of parts I will need? The only clue that I think where my plumbing should start is a blocked hose coming off the washer tank. Cheers, Chris.

Good evening all, With my insurance renewal looming I thought I'd do the usual rounds of phone calls and price comparison sites. However, given my past experience of insurance companies and market values, I'm keen to insure with a more bespoke company with an agreed valuation. Question is, how do I calculate how much my car is worth? Now I have an idea of what it would cost to replace the car, however if anyone else can shed some light on how they determined the value of their zed then I'd the input. Thanks

With all the poor quality master brake cylinders out there today ..... does anyone have any data, or experience, with some of the better top quality master brake cylinder manufacturers (Bendix, Wagner, ACDelco, Centrix, Cardone, Raybestos, etc.)? I have been looking, for quite a while, for a replacement master brake cylinder for my 1990 2+2 300ZX (Non-Turbo). Since Nabco Nissan no longer manufactures a OE master brake cylinder (which I would purchase in a heart-beat), I have been on a quest to find the absolute best quality replacement master cylinder .... one that will last many tears without breaking down. I have heard horror stories from far too many …

Just a bit of advice please. I'm after changing all the brake pipes round the Z.. Does anyone know how much a garage should charge to renew them. Thanks in advance for any help Lou

Hi Guys, I might have an issue so just after some pointers really, I seem to have an intermittent issue with the power steering. Some mornings it won't kick in for the first couple of minutes of driving and the last week or so I've noticed a slight whine on wheel turn. This afternoon I checked the level which was a little on the low side so topped it up and gave it a little drive around the carpark, the whine was still there but the steering felt fine. Are there any common issues with the power steering? Or anybody have any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks for the help again!

Hi can any one help Please I want to wire up my ptu series one plug on new harness which has ptu series two plug, and I need the diagram to figure out which wire go where. Or if that is even possible, can any one shed some light on this please

Morning all, I don't suppose anyone knows (or has 2 spare) the spec of these radio fixing screws? (And why do people keep bodging their stereo installs when it's got a mount for the units and if you take the mount out properly, there's a lot more room to work?)

Hi All Took Zed for MOT today Garage Phoned me last thing this afternoon with the bad news it Failed !!! broke the news gently.... 1: Fog lamp out. 2: Needs welding (Lots i think) 3: Will not pass any of the Emissions tests (all readings in Red) !! The welding i will be having a discussion about when i go to see her on ramp in Morning, but the big thing they cannot sort out is the emissions they have tried Everything but cant see why it is failing all, any suggestions welcome. I have had this car 11 years or so and do not want to scrap her if it can be helped, she still runs and pulls great and is pretty standard (1995 Pearl white) and how do you value it…

Hi, I need some one to remove my plenum and replace my rocker cover seals, is there anyone in Norfolk that you could recommend ? I'm just a bit hesitant about taking the plenum of myself,

Spotted this advert in Practical Classics..

Spotted parked up outside Ti Teressa restaurant on the N125 between Porches and Alcantarilha today, was worthy of a turn around for some pics..

I thought I’d document this as I have a funny feeling this little project my spiral into something a little more interesting than a tidy up. The initial plan is to remove what can relatively easily be removed to clean it, powder coat it or zinc plat it. There absolutely nothing that NEEDS to be replaced as the car is/was working fine before I started this job. However in the interest of doing things as well as I can I’ll be replacing some minor bits and bobs. Anyway here’s the car on the stands with the bumper removed awaiting its first job...

detailing everything different and unique about the convertible, soft top, vert part 0. General the vert was not available in the uk it was made in japan from 1992 to 1996 ( i think - feel free to corect me) it only came as an NA - no twin turbo model (although at least 3 in the uk have had a twin turbo conversion) the vast majority came as automatics with very few factory made manuals part 1. the boot lid unlike all other models of the 300zx the vert boot can only be opened with a key obviously it has the key lock in the usual place in the rear panel, but it doesn't have the release lever down the side of the drivers se…

In my quest for a 10A supply for my subwoofer (still looking here if you can help), I've had a look at the footwell fuses and a few qs crossed my mind: I looked at the fuse translation here and found a US one: There's a 10A Audio 1 and a 20A Audio 2. Some Zeds had powered rear amp and some had Bose power amps. The convertible doesn't have rear speakers so I presume no rear amp. What do these 2 feed and what's the difference? There's no rear wiper so what's that 10A for? There are 2 x 20A Rear Defogger. Not on the convertible, there ain't so what are these for - the heated mirrors perhaps? 7.5A Passive Belt - eh? Be interesting to know. Th…

Got a set of these pipes which the ports going to the cam covers have came loose. i've tried various types of rubber glue but nothing i try seems to fix them in position and they seem to be able to move about. The adaptors are both alluminium so any advice on what can stick them together.
