Evening all, I've got a black interior to fit, finally decided the blue is too much as it's a blue car too! Will be replacing the tweed with vinyl but not sure what colour to do it so I need your help. Can you give me some inspiration as I'm looking to start soon. Cheers all.

My car is booked in to have my Stillen front lip fitted next week; and I have decided to have a couple of other paint issues tidied up whilst it is in the workshop..... ......I also want the "moustache" area on the front bumper repainted; as the mid-grey is looking a bit tired. So what do you think will look best - I'm going for black; but would you pick matt, gloss or satin....? Richard:thumbup:

Hi all Forgive me if this has been mentioned before but ive just seen these trainers n they are called zx300, may have to get these cos they look cool.

Hi Guys seen lots of examples of engine bays cleared of fuseboxes and other stuff what can be relocated and where is the best place to resite it cheers

Hi guys Just wondering what fuel you would recommend using in a zed. Do they run better on super unleaded or is it safe to use standard? I know with the 350z (my bro's car) that it states in the handbook to use super unleaded or it will retard the ecu/power. Thanks

Not finished yet, my gear and handbrake gaiter cover and lid is ready next week in matching leather :) !!!

1990 automatic na jap Had wear on nearside tyre, so had a 4 wheel alignment check done.was told they couldn't set it up as there must be damage to some part of the suspension.I was told it could possibly be the upper arm bent.I recently had a steering rack fitted so it may of been bent then.The problem i have now is.do i try and source a second hand upper arm assembly,or fit adustable upper arms.I was also told that new springs will help with camber.does anyone know where to source springs from?. thanks trev.

I am looking to determine if my zed is in safety boost, If I disconnect the detonation sensor temporarily,what are the signs of safety boost to look out for? Will it be just a noticeable loss of power or will I be ably to read a drop on the standard boost gauge? Also, would anyone be able to post a picture of the harness connector in question please?

Just seen this for sale: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4014368.htm Does anybody know this car or seen it anywhere? Is there anyone nearby who might be able to have a quick look at it for me to see what its like? Possibly interested but obviously its a bit of a trek for me! Thanks Alex

Im at work and need one or two got the lengths just cant remember if thier m8 or m10?

just had the exact same failure on mine last night.... managed to get the AA out and did a bit of a Franken-fix on it with a couple of other size hoses the guy had and a bit of 15mm copper pipe.... will be looking at alternatives for the permanent fix.

I have some problems with the engine temp. There is water and everything in the radioator. No leaks that I can see. I drive the car and warm it up to 90 degrees c. Is it normal then when I open the radioator cap that all I get is a little whosh and little bit of water:huh: Is that normal in these cars? All other cars that I have opened the cap on when that warm comes with a lot of whosh,steam and water when I open. A bit extra info: The temp when driving long goes usally is between 100-115 when driving. And it shouldn't do that. I have got a Nismo thermostad. Mishiu something bigger radioator. When just standing idle the temp goes up intil the fan kicks in and it t…

Gathering up some new parts for the SWB. My new 25mm wheel spacers arrived today thanks to Matt at Driftworks :thumbup: New targa top rubbers from ebay £40 for the two and they are £50 each from Nissan or Zcenter. New targa roof locator this was on my lwb for a few months but removed it for the swb when the black lwb was sold New SWB door rubbers which where got from a member here several months ago

Hi guys, I believe this could well be a members car as noticed its got the website on side windows. I'm going to view/test drive this on saturday and providing all goes well will be putting a deposit down on it. Does anybody know for definate if it is a members car, and if it is, is there a build/project thread on it here on the forum I could have a look through to gain abit more info on it. Many thanks

Another evening on the car and the brakes are bleed although I replaced the split line and started bleeding to find the other one went, good job I made the other one as a spare to change later! Most of the accusump/oil system done now with -10 lines. The car has has a coat of laquer ready to flat back to matte tomorrow. Seat bracket tack welded so I can mount the seat, ecu loom fitted and connected, manifold bolted in place and the last of the red hoses swapped out!

1990 TT JDM, 112K, Automatic Just acquired a new Zed. As per title I have no ABS (lamp on), power steering, HICAS (lamp on), indicators via stalk, electric windows, electric seat, interior lamp or cruise control. The CAT warning light is erratic. In addition my gearbox seems to be stuck in 2nd or 3rd. Definitely no 1st or O/D. I can go backwards, the O/D lights up but nothing happens. Sometimes you can feel it wanting to kick in but it won't. It had a reconditioned gearbox about 25,000 miles ago and the fluid is clear. Perhaps it's wishful thinking but I feel all these problems are related. One thing I have worked out is the bottom row of fuses under driver…

How nice is this, I know it needs some work but it just looks so nice:drool: Anybody know it? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300ZX-Twin-Turbo-2-2-T-Top-/160848323733?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item25734ea495

Done the drivers side i believe, i disconnected it all and hooked the boost sensor to the balance bar, where the aiv was connected. the passenger side is confusing me slightly though. i assume the little sensor there is the aiv as it goes into the wing. just dunno what to do to the connections. the only guides ive found are us ones so things are in diffrent places which my brain cant handle right now lol.

Does anybody by chance have the measurements for each of the (4) individual hard brake lines for an NA SWB zed (incorporating the additional length of the braided hose from the line to the caliper). The ABS and stock hard brake lines that run the full length of my zed (underneath) are being binned. I'm also replacing the current TT BMC with that of an NA (so that I have 4 x brake line outputs rather than the 2 x brake line outputs that the TT comes with as standard due to it being fitted with ABS from the factory) The hard brake lines are being replaced with single lengths of braided lines from each output of the NA BMC, direct to each individual caliper. This w…

Took my car in for the mot last week & it needed a few things doing on it. The last thing I need to do is fix the fog light. The lights work but no symbol comes up on the dash to tell you that they're on. Is there meant to be a light on the dash or on the button itself? Can't get it through the mot without this so bit of a pain. Taking the dash out tomorrow
