I was looking for some info and fell across the following which I thought I would post here. I know others have some references - I think it was something posted by AndrewG I was trying to find! - so if you want to add here, maybe this would be worth as a sticky. JDM Chassis No list taken from a Nissan FAST book 11/2000 https://z32enjoytheride.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/z32-jdm-production-numbers.pdf found on this site via TwinTurbo.net (from this I found my car was the last one made in April 1999 - probably on 30 Apr so that's now it's official birthday :) ) Also via TwinTurbo.net, VIN tables, option & model codes for USA, Canada, Europe, UK and Australia htt…

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

A bit of 300zx history https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-Press-Photo-Filming-of-Nissan-300ZX-Turbo-car-commercial-hcx22651/303234390164?hash=item469a2d9894:g:7jQAAOSwWXddOIgE

As above. Thanks T

Been having a clear out and have a stock air box and blue rear roller shelf, free to a good home. Collection is Andover sp10 3jd If not there going in the skip

many thanks to Richard who sent me over his old fpr and fd after replacing them, they have been fitted to the purple zed and it fires up, stops and restarts as it should. so now i just have a bunch of other little faults to fix, not least of which is to replace the smokey nearside turbo.

Well looks like I have fallen into the trap of not knowing what I was looking for, I have been working on cars for many years, but have never had to replace cam or crank seals before, I did read up about it but did not really understand about the lip on the crank, hence inside of seal pushed backwards, I do have another it is OEM as well, I suppose I can’t fix this one and should start again with the new one, is this correct?.

Hi guys. I think we've found the cause of our problems with over-idling. Please could you have another look at my thread here, which i've updated with photos. Need some help identifying the part and advice on how to resolve. https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?190740-Cooling-fan-over-revving-on-idle-and-HICAS-warning-light Thank you.

Howdy, My old clutch looks a bit tired and was wondering whats best to use nowadays apart from a new oem one.

HI Guys, I have a1990 Twin Turbo and for the last few weeks, occasionaly when you try to start it, it makes this horrible screeching noise, just like if the engine was already running and you turn the key again (don't ask how I know this https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/images/icons/icon7.png) I recently had a new light weight flywheel fitted and all was well for a few weeks and then this started happening. It didn't do it all the time, just occasionally. I fitted a new battery and it still did it, so I have now replaced the starter motor and it is still doing it. Any suggestions, as I am at a loss ?

Hi guys,quick question when i plug in my Consult 14 Pin DDL Interface and put the ignition to the on position,the light just flashes on my Consult 14 Pin DDL Interface,It was working a few months ago,Also my laptop doesnt find the Consult 14 Pin DDL Interface,Anyone else have this problem?Thanks guys

Hi guys - hope everyone is well. I have (finally) got the Z back after it having been with the mechanic for more than six months, largely for a braking system overhaul (master cylinder and discs) as well as a few other bits and pieces, but nothing engine related. Engine was good as gold. It arrived back with a cracked spoiler, 141 extra miles on the clock since the MOT on June 11th, a flat battery, a door panel hanging off where he'd fitted (badly) a Halfords fog light, oil cap tightened so far we had to undo it with mole grips, and absolutely no fuel whatsoever, which was just a little more than disappointing :( Furthermore, he just dumped the car outside my gate w…

Approval required by mods. A couple of years ago I commissioned a silicone hose manufacturer to reproduce the engine bay hoses since they were starting to perish and UK stock was dwindling and non existent for quality replacements. I provided the company with a full set of OEM hoses and in return I had a set given to me for free. The company now has the tooling made to reproduce these hoses and list them on their website which is what I have on my zed on show today at the AGM. As pointed out to me today others are probably unaware of the availability in the UK and if mods are happy that it doesn’t compete with other traders then I shall share the details and y…

For those of you not on Facebook or who haven’t seen it, this is the new demo video. I’d love to see a Z like this in the flesh! Any fans? I would happily fit this wide arch kit keeping my 89 front end, type one spoiler and stick bonnet/nose panel. It would have to be smoothed in just like that one too.

Guys does anyone know what the numbers are for the auxiliary belt?Also what size is the pinstripe that wraps all the way round the car and what colour,and does it vary in what colour your car is?Any info would fantastic guys,Oh Also guys another quick question my break disks have alot of rust on them,would it be worth doing electrolysis on them or while the rust come off over timeThanks

Hi guys. I am in the process of restoring a 1991 UK spec 2+2 twin turbo 300zx and need a few bits and pieces, I wanted to see if you guys can help or point me in the right direction. I need a drivers side rear wheel arch and both of the 'sill return repair panels' and a new rear spoiler (the OEM 1991 type). I know Z-Centre have all these parts but they are not exactly cheap especially when you apply 20 %VAT to the marked price then delivery to Ireland. I was lucky enough to get two of the inner sill reinforcement panels off e-bay this week at reasonable money. I also need a few bits if people can help: Front LHS indicator/side light. Rear LHS bumper reflec…

Hi, hoping someone can help with this, as I don't fancy driving to the AGM this weekend with a fubard temp gauge. The other day i took the binnacle out to add a set of titanium rings to the instrument cluster. I noticed this morning on my drive to work that the temp gauge sits a 1/4, even when the car is switched off, and didn't move, during the 16 mile commute. Could it be that i just need to reset the needle to its resting point? Any pointers greatly received, thanks guys.
