Well I decided to splash out on my £500 zx with some rear lights and centre piece as mine was cracked and boyched up by the previous owner with superglue:huh: I tell you what though what a difference it makes, thanks to Markderby and Murf for supplying parts:clap:

this first one is behind/ beneath the stereo. Anyone know what it does or where it's meant to be connected? This one I found amongst a bunch of lights. Nit got a clue what it is lol... Only thing I can think of is a this in the doors, like a window thingy

Basically I was replacing my S1 PTU with the S2 everything went alright except that I didn't bother putting 2 bottom bolt/screws when I put the PTU on, the 2 bolts on the top I felt were more than enough to secure the PTU well. anyways I started the car, car started fine but I could hear stupidly loud screeching sound, and when I say loud I mean REALLY LOUD!, I couldn't even get near the engine bay to investigate. After further investigation I found out its the 'Driver side timing belt cover' somehow fouling and making the noise, the noise eventually eased up but was still loud enough to annoy I took the PTU off again and this time tried bolting al…

I've been searching for a nice set of 3 piece split rims for a good while now. I have a set in mind. New they are £4k plus so I've been keeping my eye on Japanese auctions. Anyway, every set that comes up has some level of damage. There are a set for sale at the mo. they have minor corrosion, scratches and kerbing. One has a very small dent. So.... Can anyone recommend anybody who can restore these wheels? I want them in 'as new' condition but I don't want to import them to find that they can't be restored. Even with the damage, they are pretty damn expensive. Thanks

Ok matey all the bushes have been presses out and the new ones fitted, packaged and on they way back to you, will let you have the tracking number by pm. Jeff TT

In 2009 I completed a full rebuild of my UK 300ZX - engine, respray, interior etc. Unfortunately since then it has been sorned and sat in the garage. The one and only job I didn't attend to was the brakes and they were terrible to the extent it failed the brake bias part of the MOT test. The tester passed it presuming it would free up with use :shifty: Here's the car: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?126910-My-Zed&highlight= Anyway I recently decided to perhaps put the car back on the road and therefore overhaul the brakes. I removed the front calipers and indeed they were in a shocking state. At least 3 of the 4 pistons were seized. I had…

Need help. I think my twin turbos need replacing but im not 100% sure. My turbo guage says its pushing between 0.2 and 0.4 bar. Can someone tell me how i can test to see if turbos need replacing. Thanks

I know it's been mentioned on here before but I just finished reading Retro Gamer magazine and it had a page dedicated to this game, so I thought I'd grab a few screenshots and boxshots from the t'internet and post them on here. Quite a good game as well actually!

Will a 680 amp battery be ok? Off the top of my head i think its right Been looking at these.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ODYSSEY-PC680-LIGHTWEIGHT-DRYCELL-RACING-BATTERY-MOTORCYCLE-BATTERY-NEW-/280936816807?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item416923a0a7 Will this be ok? Dan

Shame the attentions on the girls and not the car, even with the proper photographer still can't make them look any better.

just a quick question. is the central locking supposed to work from both doors? I only ask because went to lock my car yesterday, and the lock broke and spun round further than usual:asshole:. so now can't lock the car from the drivers side. went to lock it from the passenger side (for the first time) and it only locked the passenger side. i will try and fix the drivers lock at the weekend but if the passenger side isn't supposed to lock both doors then i'll leave that well alone.

Basically the same as my other thread http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?163638-Bose-Speeker-Box-s&highlight= But thought i'd change the title, wasn't really to clear on the last one.

Hi all, My next task is to re-locate the battery to the boot has any one got any tips on how to install or where to run the cables? or anyother tips as id rather get it right the first time. Im going to have a bracket made up and thinking of mounting the battery box in the simular location as the ABS unit on the other side of the boot to help with weight distubution. Any help would be great thanks Dan

Desperately require a PAS hose for my 1991 JDM N/A, one that comes down and across. Can anyone tell from pic on ebay whether item http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380456749703?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D380456749703%26_rdc%3D1 is a hose for a N/A or TT, I did ask the seller who seemed unsure. Your help as ever is appreciated. Regards Ronnie

Jeff and Jamie have worked their magic again.... .....For the first time my blue ZX had actually let me down by dumping coolant on my garage floor whilst parked. The culprit? A dead water-pump!! So one visit to Zedworld today and Jeff fitted a new waterpump - plus a shiney brand new Nissan viscous fan (oh and a new cam-belt just to be safe, since he had the front of the engine off); now all is well again!! Thanks guys; the car is back to its normal happy self once more!!! Richard:clap:

Is it just me whos nearly been sick after looking at this? link removed due to owner being registered not subscribed Apologies if this belongs to anyone on here (I assume not) or if anyone knows it, don't mean to offend but just saw it and thought... ergghhhhhh!

hi, does anyone know where i can get either a whole new speedo assembly or ideally, just the odo and stepper motor? im not trying to clock it back, im sure most ppl will assume i am, but im honestly not, i dont do nearly enough miles to make it worth the effort (i would say that though right?) my speedo stopped counting up miles and after taking it all apart it seems the stepper motor has some problem as the actual miles counter runs freely and smoothly. oh and the speedo and everythinkg else works fine, just it doesnt clock up the mileage. after putting it all back together, my counter is now running backwards somehow :S i bought a new cluster but i…

just seen a zed on the way back from the gym coming from the bus station in andover anyone off here ,,its got 300 decals down the doors

Had new front and rear brake pads fitted on the car about a month ago but just recently the brakes have started to make a clicking noise as I'm slowing down for a corner or to stop. Anyone had this or got any idea what it is? Cars going back the mechanics next week but any advice would be appreciated.

got round to taking my engine out my zed today ,how did it ever fit in there lol only joking its from a tank went to bovington tank museum today worth a look [/img]

as per the title, sitting on a pair for a while as mine will no doubt need doing at some point but could use the cash for other projects (sods law the buggers will blow on mine as soon as I sell!) rough idea on price please ?

So yeah, as recommended by someone in one of my previous post I removed the rear bumper and yes, it wasn't good, although I have to admit I was expecting worse! I don't think anything could surprise me now (perhaps discovering a diseased Roswell alien would, but that would be weird) as every time I remove something I find new horrors. The quest continues however, one way or the other.

I was looking at a Zed on ebay, it was a project the guy is selling. I'm considering buying it, but very unsure, the first obstacle is getting it from Dundee, Scotland back to Newcastle. I looked into hiring a car transporter / trailer on the net. The whole trailer thing has thrown up all kinds of issues I'd never really considered, but now I'm wondering if my dads MX6 (2.5 v6) can safely pull a car transporter / trailer with a Z on it? I'm starting to think its not a good idea, especially as the MX6 is FWD. I'm not even going to ask whether I (or my dad) should have a trailer licence...that was a whole other can of worms. Any advice would b…

hi all today when i started the old girl up, the console unit on the left (with the air con etc on) didnt light up and nothing worked, nor did the wing mirrors ping out... everything else worked, radio, seats, lights, internal clock.. it happened about 8 times in 12 attempts, any idea why this is... (i've recently changed my repeater bulbs, however surely cant be that.... can it!!!) thanks, a slightly concerned and perplaxed Nick
