Ok so since I've not been able to find an exhaust I like I've bought an apexi n1 from a different car, I'm going to mod it to fit the 300, The thing is all the exhaust pipe on eBay is 3inch outer diameter and I want 3inch internal, or do you think as I'm making it myself I should go a little bigger and if not where can I get 3in id pipe from Paul

Hoping someone has their engine out with this bracket still in situ as I'm stumped as to where it goes. Fitted this bracket back onto the rear of the engine (red circle) and went to connect the main earth wire that comes up from the tranny to the green circled point, but the wire doesn't reach it about 4cm to short from connecting to the green circle point. Now I havn't done anything to the main earth wire and it's obviously not going to stretch, lol so can only assume that I have fitted the bracket in the wrong place/fixing point. Took it off so long ago can't remember and cannot see another hole available it only seems to fit 1 way because of the large water feed…

Sold my Z at the weekend and it was driven away this evening. Feeling sad...after all, I had the pleasure of her company for 3 years. :-( Now looking for a clean Twin Turbo!

Ok so i remember seeing somewhere for sale fibreglass inserts for the rear quarter windows but cant find it in my links anyone remember where? I would say US, Canada or Australia as they aint gonna be over here. Also in my search came across the SPL carbon fibre bodykit and hadnt seen it before. It just appears that they got bored half way through and didnt finish the rear end. https://www.splparts.com/store/product-info.php?pid303.html

Hi everyone, Another problem has arisen with my pain in the ass Zed, the horn goes off without pressing the button!!!!!!! Any ideas where to start as I can't live with the embarrassment LOL. I've removed the fuse for now.

Just been sent some pictures of some new parts for the Z, will be test fitting soon :thumbup: and hopefully all will be good. Will let you know when they arrive but it's something we should all splash out on to cure an annoying problem! :yes:

Hey just wondered if anyone here is running the greddy TD04h turbos? And how much power are they good for Cheers Paul

I've asked this question on some other forums but didn't get a reply. Hoping to get an answer here, since this is a European forum... I live in a country where everything has to be homologated, including the wheels, but I can't find a single TUV for the 300ZX. So I wonder if anyone knows any wheel configurators that have TÜV certified rims for the Z32? The only ones I've been able to find have them only from the 350Z onward. Or if anyone knows where to get TÜV certificate for various wheel sizes for the Turbo? Thanks in advance!

1991 TT 300ZX, Automatic, UK model, 81K, 50K on gearbox (reconditioned unit fitted but not in my ownership) Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on why my ZX is being a bit odd. It won't shift up unless I blip the throttle. It will either stay at the RPM I'm travelling or climb until it reaches 5500-6000rpm, then change and you'll feel it whop the torque converter in. If I lift off the accelerator anywhere within the range that's suitable to change up, she'll do it instantly and smoothly. Kickdown works Changes down if I brake O/D works I have gears R, 1, 2, 3 and 4 (O/D) Shifter works Gear changes are smooth if I control them I've had qu…

I have been getting some smoke from my passenger exhaust for a while, comes and goes so not a constant. This lead me to think that it was my PCV valves needing to be replaced as I was still boosting well and my oil levels were not dropping. Had the car jacked up today doing an oil change and noticed that there was some oil around my passenger dump valve. Could this still be the PCV's or do I have a turbo on the way out soon?

As per title. Failed the MOT today as the ends were worn out and wobbly. Question is, is it worth trying to get new ends and repair, or buy a lockout kit and replace the lot. The garage aren't able to get the parts via their supplier to repair, so the choice is mine. Thoughts and comments...go!

Im thinking about deleting them going off what it says in the MOT manual. zeds have wrap around lenses at the front i would say so woulod it pass? Maybe Jeff will read this and see if he would pass it :) `Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986 must be fitted with one side repeater indicator on each side. Instead of a separate lamp, the side repeater might be part of the front direction indicator if it includes a wraparound lens.`

Slowly but surely getting better, need to make more of an effort as there's another Zed in Yeovil now! Enjoy.

Hi everyone, Is carmad styling still trading, im interested in some rear arches for the future. Its inevitable theyre gonna rot at some point.

Last week I fitted all my suspention goodies but I have got a small problem now as my car now hops round corners when being pushed hard. So what i would like to knpw is if you have these shocks fitted to your zed and if so what did you set the settings to as I have mine set on the soft setting at pressent. Plus did you have a problem to when going into corners hard. :)

Seen a black zed this morning at the roundabout outside inch vw. Looked very clean, anyone on here?

Saw you working in it up your drive on Sunday! Looked like a good project. Anyone on here? And no I wasn't looking in a mirror haha

thinking about an EBC and stage 1 tuning chip.. Just wanted to know what EBC's you guys are using.

Who travelled 145 miles to mine today to help with the project car which was needing a huge amount done to catch up for a show. Mark, Phil, Roy turned up followed by another friend Chris who sorted the boot and painted it. I'll let the pictures show you but we got lots done!

Can someone advise me as to which brake pads to buy please? I am looking for general road use with the ability to cope with a spirited driving now and then. The ones I have at the moment (unknown brand) only seem to be effective once they reach a certain temperature. Trouble is, I nearly get caught out now and again so could do without the uncertainty. I would like them to be there from the off. Front pads by the way.

So i wanted to compose a little list of parts required to swap from a manual to auto. Can someone confirm and add what i miss autobox flywheel torque converter gearbox wiring auto ecu harness? auto gear stick brake pedal maybe auto prop control box by ecu? auto bronze crank bush some sort of trans oil cooler Auto ecu for the engine (Auto loom from ecu to the inner wing is part of the main body harness!!! ) Wiring modification to include starter imobiliser to prevent engine start when in drive Auto dash cluster surround bezel with auto box control lights in + wirng to ecu Hold/ power switch loom to ecu ( optional ) Flex plate Flex pl…
