Hi Guys, Just curious as to what is the widest tires you could fit on to a 300zx at the rear? I realise its all dependant on the alloy width etc. I thinking along the lines of grip and bring able to put the power down, rather than any affect on top speed etc. Cheers!

Ive just watched it end and had to fight the urge to bid! Did you bid mate? If so, did you win it?

So had an hour repairing the sills, wanted longer but had to go n help a mate out But not done bad so far I don't think Hopefully get a few hours after work some days in the week and get it all smoothed off and the other side started

Looking at sound proofing the Z so was wondering if anyone has looked at this and how they got on? What was the cost of this and where could I purchase proofing as I do see a lot on ebay Thanks

Ok to anyone who has recently purchased a rear camber correction kit pictured below on E-bay and have it fitted need to urgently check the fixing bolts that were supplied with the kit. There is a problem, I have made the seller aware of but as of yet had no reply, the bolt grade is possibly incorrect, this has the potential for early bolt failure, we have evidence of this and would like to just make every one aware, sure the supplier will be just as concerned ( hopefully ) will be contacting them again tomorrow and will update on their reply.

After refurbishing the inside of my doors i went to fit the seatbelt units back on today and they are permanently locked so i cant pull out the seat belt! I've looked at the two units and they are left and right handed (one has a blue cover and the other has a black cover also the bottom brackets that bolts onto the bottom of the doors is handed) so can only go on one side or the other. I noticed if i tilt the units the lock comes of and i can pull the seatbelt out but when i put it back on the door (the side i think it should go) the unit is tilted the opposite way and is locked! Any ideas?

All, After getting my Zed I will be looking at investing in the styling first and a kit which i really like is the Zenon wide kit which I saw on the Zcentre website, i also noticed one on ebay cheaper but would that be the same quality? should i be weary of ebay purchasing? I will also looking at removing my rear spoiler and getting a different style rear window hub and smoothed lip spoiler to give the car an overall subtle look. does anyone know of any decent kit fitters and sprayers within the northwest who have a high standard of work im looking at getting this done within the next 6 months instead of a year as I wouldnt mind it for next so called sum…

hi just got some second hand brembro calipers for my 300 can anyone tell me if the short brake line coming from the caliper is the same line that is already on the zed or is it a different bore got 2 lines with the calipers but had them into a garage to fit (its a long story) told them to refit the standard ones back but on getting the car back one of the pipes that came with the brembros is missing and justwondered if the standard 300 metal pipes fit or do i need to kick up a stink:angry:

Hi I have used gauges from Autogauge. But now i'm fedup. Not accurate, break easly difficult to see in day light (chrome smoke serie) So can anyone recommend a gauge that is better, looks nice and not to expensive...

I find my steering wheel sits a bit low in my desired seating position, has anyone raised the position of the wheel a little? I'm sure I read of someone doing it a while back and just wondered what sort of a job it was...

ive just bought a bmw m3 e46 2 weeks ago, after 3 days all was well and parked it up at work on nightshift (10pm) 4 hours later the security gaurd comes running in saying your cars on fire, put fire out with extinguisher. looked at cctv footage, the light come on and then wipers start and then bursts into flames. Not the best start to owning an m3

Just had a look at my ecu and saw this. Can someone shed light on it for me please? looks aftermarket but I don't know for sure

As you will have noticed my Zed has been in the For sale section a little while now. I havent advertised elsewhere as my heart really isnt in the sale. however, If I were to advertise elsewhere, what sort of money should I be looking for? I have noticed a few on here for considerably more than mine, and other than paint work, there is no way any could be better (no offence intended to other sellers) What should I be asking for the car in its current condition, allowing for bodywork, its incredibly reliable and used daily. Two more guys in my VILLAGE have bought Zeds in the last two months after seeing mine around - unfortuantley theirs are not the greatest examp…

Hi everyone, Just fitted some UK front belts to my JDM, all fitted ok with the B pillar nuts and Spacers on the bolts, however I have a problem!!!!!!!!! The belts won't pull out when I want them too, they both are 'locked off'. Not sure where to go with this as I was told they were working fine. Any help please guys as I had to remove my Jap belts for the spacing washers. Cheers

Nice find today (NOT), took the sideskirts off as i want some different ones

Sorry to bother you guys again so soon, I just want to iron out all tiny bit of issues on my Z so here are a few question I have. - Sometimes on idle when you tap the accelerator very tiny bit, the rev drops for a split second and goes back up again, this happens occasionally. - After I upgraded to the S2 PTU, the car was running fine for on idle for maybe 5 mins before shutting off itself, started back up fine - this only happened once. - Following from my point above, I have experienced the car cutting out sometimes and then second time starting it will absolutley stink of petrol(pure raw petrol) I couldn't find any leaks, car cranks just didn't fire up…

Long shot but maybe someone will know... Got a chance of buying some coilovers only problem is there of an R34 Skyline. Dose anyone know weather these will fit a Zed or not?

I have just noticed that the zed i was asked to look at about a month ago by another member has been put up for sale again. It did sell on ebay last time and obviously the new owner has realised what an old dog he won. just a warning to anyone out there that was considering on bidding on it, don't bother. he's blatently lied on the new ebay listing about non leaking ttops, as when i saw it, it had a small pond in the passenger side footwell. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/nissan-300-zx-twin-turbo-/180948466050?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a215e7982
