Just stumbled upon this tonight. Not sure if it's been posted before, but it's the first time i've seen it. Could come in handy if you are looking to identify parts. http://www.z32photoguide.com/

Hi, Last week I went to see the same garage that I'm hoping will be carrying out a full respray on the Z before too long about completing the swap from auto to manual. They haven't done one of these before (surprise) but as I'm hoping to hand over some of the more time consuming jobs to them, I think it's a good idea they get familiar with it. So I've emailed the how to document to them, I have a donor vehicle. How long will it take the average garage to complete the task? (Just trying to give them as much info as I can). Cheers

Spent today sorting out a friends zed. It had a hard knocking sound on the front end so we stripped it down and found this. Where the torsion bar bolts to has cracked all the way around and the black part you see with the two holes in it has been completely cut out by the crack! The other side was on its way also so replaced with a good set painted of cause :) Stripped the whole suspsion down both sides to check for any other damage. Then put back together time for a beer!

Series 2 velour seats for lwb both electric fronts, un marked, completely faultless.....? Wondering wether to sell or just pop them in the loft :) I'd be happy to fit them if that helps the price too! A drive in drive out service :D Cheers Wayne :)

Looking to do a service on the zed and want to check what parts I need before I buy them. It's an na, standard engine. Spark plugs NGK pfr6b 11? Standard oil filter? K&N air filter? Can anyone recommend the best oil to use?

I got funny looks when asking for the price of a 99 spec front bumper...? Odd!

Ok folks, I have my 300zx up for sale at the minute. Now have had the usual time wasters etc ( not on here ) but other than that not much else. Now am i asking to much for it or is the market just not there at the moment? any advise gratefully recieved. Only selling as we are buying a new house and need to free up some funds. Below is a link to my for sale thread: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?162114-92-300zx-TT-with-48k Cheers in advance

Im wondering, if after My Z is back to perfect, including respray etc.... and running 100% with no issues, what would it be worth? its done 82,000KM. which is about 51,000 miles (guesstimate) one owner from new prior to me, with all original service books, and a totally original example, bar the stainless exhaust system. I dont want to ruin a perfect example of an OEM JDM car. But I also want more power. hmmmm.... So was hinking if I sold it to someone who would appreciate it for what it is, once its all sorted, how much could I expect? I would like to use the funds from it, plus extra, to get a good condition Z, with mechanical issues, and invest in a comp…

Ok this may be a bit controversial but here goes, tech questions and answers have always and will be a main feature of this and forums alike, it why when present and new members are stuck actually come here to get help. But in the 10 years I have been here I have witnessed many coming and goings of the main players (posters) who answer these, myself included. However over the past decade the accuracy of many of the answers has lessened which is bizzare in as far as they should have become more accurate? Looking daily at the numerous similar enquiries from members it has become clear too many answers are coming from members who read an incorrect answer before …

So I took the car for it's first proper test drive after the turbo's have been done. I was driving it home, everything was running fine. Then on the motorway I noticed that the car wasn't feeling right, like it's missing on one of the cylinders. So I got it home gently, parked on the drive and popped the bonnet. I thought I'd find out which cylinder it was by removing the coil pack connector one by one to see when one made no difference. I got them all off and they all were working, as i went to put the last one back on the engine died. And now will not re-start. When I go to start it it turns over, I can smell fuel after doing it for a little while, so I'm gue…

whilst just changing my front disks, my drivers side front brake dust / heat shield fell off, this is the large sheet of metal behind the disk, due to the rust getting into it. it wasnt held in place by any screws or bolts, just sits on the hub. Is it needed for MOT, or is there some stupid reason in the mot guild-lines that it has to be in place, like if you run over someone, it has to be there so the person you ran over, after hitting the bumper, being dragged under the car, past the splash guard, missing the cross member, you dont get your arm caught in the moving brake disk??, then after you have dealt with the exhaust just below the turbo's, you hit the rear diff a…

Well decided im going to freshen up the wiper arms and windscreen cowling, now having realised that there is almost no job i do on the zed that is easy i thought i better check how to remove the cowling? So is it like all other jobs on a zed or is it as easy as it should be?

Thanks to MarkDerby, I received a replacement center panel which I have just fitted. Looks so much better in my opinion, car needs a clean, but what you think?

Just came across this, no english, but he is running a zed and does 7.51 @ 296, worth watching just to see what is capable on the z32 engine. wow its super quick [video=youtube;w21jiEVN8-U]

It was parked up at the back of Hazeldine House in the town centre, looked very tidy :)

Seen you today as i was waiting to come out of the junction., you where heading towards the A14 on the A45 when i came off 1 car behind you. was around 5:30pm

Well after doing my pin 44 thing, and also sorting out my audio (seemed to have lack of base for some reason) decided to take my little boy for a driver and also test what effect doing wiring in the neutral switch was going to have. Anyway, driving through down earlier, quite congested, couldn't do more than 20, had this black ford following me, anyway, was slowing down, with my indicator on to turn right, when next thing i know, i got shunted from the rear. Although i had rust bubbles there wasnt any cracks in it like that. There is more damage but these were the ones i noticed right away and took photos of. The damage to his car…

Evening all, Fitting my pillar pod but need some inspiration on how to secure it at the top. There's a hole that lines up with a female clip on the pillar but a screw don't secure it. How have you guys done it? cheers
