Hey Guys, I wanted to know are the z really driveable at all in the wet? i mean he British weather seems likes its just always raining and miserable. Can a z be used aggressively during wet and damp times? Looks like average times of the year we going to be wet or damp!

I have just been out and about, and I kept noticing my radio display flickering on and off, (the radio was turned down but on), then a little later, every time I accelerated or hit a bump in the road, my headlights, dash lights, radio and engine would cut off for a split second then come back on, sometimes everything cutting off a few times a second for a few seconds. So, what could cause this? I can't really think off a way I could replicate this fault. I got home and checked around the fusebox and passenger footwell for any evidence of water ingress, but all seems well.... Any ideas peeps? Cheers, Tudor...

Does anyone nick wheels anymore? They're BMW wheels on a BMW not a Zed. Nice 18" parallel sport ones, staggered width. Similar ones seem to go for decent money on eBay so I'm thinking it's worth getting locking nuts. I remember back in the day McGuard ones were reckoned to be the ones to have but there are some ok looking ones much cheaper on eBay. Are they ok?

Not many UK Zeds left in good condition with low miles and this one is on my side of the Irish Sea:thumbup: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1992-Nissan-300zx-twin-turbo-auto-/130730074188?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1e701ea04c

:blush: A boost controller,really I do I know they need t-pieced in but, do I need to disgard the original hose from the actuators,or the small hoses from the inter coolers,what size silicone hoses do I need, how many t-pieces will I need ,As I said an idiots guide

Hey Guys, See a well price manual z on piston heads, was wondering if anyone is from that area knows the z at all. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4047939.htm Cheers

.....My Stillen Type III front lip that is!!! So it's a big thank you to Mike at MJP for sorting it in the best, most economic way - £228 delivered to my door!! Cheers Mike, you're a star matey!! I can't wait to get it fitted now; plus I have a couple of other paint related plans I might have done at the same time.....:shifty: Richard:thumbup1:

I have a 1991 z32 jap import N/A and I'm 25. Any info would be great!!

So my package arrived from twinchip today only a few days after payment. Twinchip have been a pleasure to deal with, top notch service and prompt communication. I'm still unsure of the bolt on diffuser so I'll eagerly wait for others to post up pics of that but this time round I just ordered a couple of type 1 rear spoilers. The first thing I noticed about them is the quality 'out of the box', the finish is bloody good and will require very little prep for paint. Next thing to try is how well it fits... If my car was matt black to match the gel coat I'd slap it straight on! Fitment is bloody good, 100 times better than even the oem spoiler. Here's some pre paint…

Here's one for you people good with bodywork, Ok so the guy who had my car before me resprayed the car in Nissan diamond white it's generally a good job but in some places its abit orange peelie, Is there anything I can do to get a better smoother finish all over, he painted abit thin only using 2ltr to do the whole car so thinned down quite abit

need to order an alloy T-piece for my water temp guage.. anybody know the stock ID of the coolant pipes top of the rad?

Well the rain held off tonight and it was a nice pleasant evening for trying my new wheels out for size :biggrin: Big thanks to Marty for letting me borrow his arches to help with measurements/decision making etc. These pictures are just a mock-up for now, but its the quickest, easiest and cheapest way to start... RIP my Tokyo Nissan sticker.... and hello sexy 240Z metal badge (not fitted properly yet) :thumbup1: Comments welcome, I'm well aware my car isn't to everyone's taste, and I'm probably about to lose a few more fans... I dont care :lol:

is it worth it on stock engine ?

My work colleague Gaz and I are always bickering who`s got the best car,LOL, so I showed him a few of the 80`s adverts for the 300zx and he loved the 300zx toys one , he then got excited and showed me this one that advertises his car the E55 V8 AMG! Its cool and worth a watch, he`s interested to hear the comments from the 300z boyZ , so fire away troops, and he doesn`t get offended so don`t worry :D

I love my current wheels (18" polished Work Equips) but as they say bigger is better... I got offered a deal that I literally couldn't turn down... so heres what I bought :thumbup1::clap::punk::thumbup::yes::shifty: Old wheels... and the new additions.... and a quick mock-up.... I'll trial fit one tomorrow to see what sort of arch work I'll be needing to do, or I'll just adjust the camber and tip them until they fit under the arch LOL
