right so clutch slave cylinder is moving, pivot ball is not snapped as i can clearly see it when the dust boot is removed, yet can not get the gear box to go into any gear, no 1st / 2nd 3rd, 4th 5th, or even reverse? So much for going manual to solve my gear box problems. clutch pedal feels normal, what else could it be, ive been driving it like a grandad since it went on so as well, so its not like the box has had extra stress or anything. clutch master has fluid in as well and with the clutch slave cylinder moving, i cant see why it wont now go into gear.

Hi After our discussion about your bumper the other day i noticed a thread in the help and advice section. Dannyzx had the same bumper which is a Jun auto front bumper. Apparently quite expensive. http://www.junauto.co.jp/products/exterior/fairladyz_z32/index.en.html

I've never bought any before, is it something you can buy from motor factors? or an exhaust fitters? or nissan only? I'm after 3 hole downpipe gaskets and also the two hole joining gaskets down the system. I guess they are probably the same as other models? so should be easy to get hold of?

Hey Guys, Not sure if this has been shared before but i found this cool documentary on https://www.youtube.com/embed/loACdyN2cX4?rel=0

Anyone have the Nissan part number for manual gear knob with the red stiching? or have one for sale Cheers in advance Jeff TT

i picked up an engine some time ago for £50 thought it will come in handy some day ... but it was unknown / low compresion anyways started to take it apart to day Noticed that the Lower timing Sprocket was out by 2 teeth and once i tuck the head off it cam clear why it wasnt running to good all so in the 3rd pic would you say this has been rebuilt before ? as that looks like honing marks to me

Okay I give up... where will in find the sidelight fuse

Have that switch mate, where do you want it sent to?

Hi, I have received a couple of lower PAS high pressure hyraulic pipes today for the Z. Yes I only need one, long story, need to return one lol. Im going to install this on Saturday. However I dont know how! I searched the forum for a how to guide, but cant find one. I had some general advice from JeffTT which sounded great, but I have amemory like a sieve and need a more definitive guide (in writing) Obviously I think it would make sense to remove the end nearest the passenger side first, to try drain the PAS fluid out. Once I have done this, I have no idea how to reach the other end, or release it. Any advice would be highly appreciated. Do …

Can the steering rack be changed from under the car?

Took the back wheels off this afternoon to investigate a strange noise.......:no: Pass side has been rubbing on the fuel filler gaurd The tyres are 265/35/18. Are these too wide? The rims are 18-9JJ, so the question is, do I get thinner tyres like 255? adjust the plastic gaurd or fit a spacer? The annoying thing is that I have 2 front tyres on order as I wanted to match the rear :headvswal At least I spotted it though as I wouldnt want that going pop along the motorway..

On Monday afternoon at around 1pm i placed an order with Z1 Motorsport (Georgia, USA) for a set of series 2 to series 1 injector adaptors, with delivery by Fedex...... Well they have just arrived at 7:56am this morning!!! :) How is it that an item from halfway round the world can get here in that time.......but post something here and it takes an age to arrive??? Well done Z1 and Fedex! :)

Parked next to this today, even though I`m not a lover of skylines, thought some of you lot may like it ;)

Today I bought the Zed home from the inlaws, on a trailor. Firstly getting it on the trailor was a nightmare, rear wheels spun up on slightest touch of throttle throwing the back end out by 2-3 feet. I ended up taking a run up, 10mph, soon as rear wheels were on the ramps there was no problems. Once I got home and offloaded it, slowly but surely. I reversed it on to the drive. Again, this time in reverse the rear wheels spun up. Guessing my tyres are shockingly bad. They look brand new and have loads of tread, probably covered no more than 200 miles. I dont know the brand of my head, but they are 225/50/16's I think I could possibly fit 235's but d…

I finally got my pearl white NA started today.... some of you may have seen the thread last week saying that I had fuel but no spark... well after plenty of trawling through search results and web pages, I set to work with the multimeter today and followed things in a logical process... when I got to the ECCS relay I removed it and got a face-full of dusty corrosion from the terminals (its been relocated to underside of its usual location)... anyway I cleaned up the connections and changed the relay... struck up literally straight away, no funny noises or anything! :clap: Well pleased, I was starting to lose the will to carry on with it! :ninja: Job for tomorrow…

I was just wondering how much boost a non-chipped standard ECU map can handle safely? Assuming you've got all the other stuff like an EBC, decats, cone filter etc. Anyone have any ideas?

Came across a photo-shoot today at Goodwood, 3 guys from the Octane magazine were snapping some pics for their latest mag, Had a good chat with them and the Cobra was something special, but cant remember why, lol, they loved the vert and had never seen a true convertable 300zx before!! the Cobra is getting shipped to a show in the states next month and then back again!!!

Is it wise to change the pipes too when doing the PCV's? Is the blue hosing tht people get good enough? And do I need specific sizes?

Hi all, Anyone around to give me a hand with working on the Z this Saturday coming? I have a stainless exhaust to fit aswell as a new PAS high pressure hose. I live in the evercreech area (BA4 postal code.)
