So since i got the 300 about 2months ago ive slowly been rebuilding it as and when i get time. So this is what has been done so far, i started with the under side of the car, started to strip the suspension off ready to strip the old underseal off Once the old underseal was off i rubbed it back and gave it a coat of zinc primer, then a coat of underseal I then dropped the subframe off and took the worn out old bushes out, then sent the subby off to be shot blasted and powder coated, dont post yet more to follow lol

hi all got a whine from the engine on the drivers side, i think it's either alternator bearings or power steering pump, would i be right in thinking alternator is most probable cause?

my mates took a picture of a light blue zed with large amounts of bare metal and pug on it, on there way to winsor yesterday. had ferari louvers in the side, and 300zx.co.uk club stickers on it. looked like an intresting project....

Hi, OK... totally lost now… indicator issue…. They don’t flash, just stay on.. and if I leave them on the fuse blows. So, I have LED’s all round, they all work because the alarm system on and off flashes all of them, the hazard switch works and they all flash. It doesn’t matter what side I turn on it’s the same thing, but only that side turn on. I’ve replaced the flasher unit and no change, I’ve also replaced the hazard switch and ignition still no change. I’ve checked for resistance at the indicator switch and both sides good and no leak. I pulled out the hazard fuse and tried again but same result. I pulled the flasher fuse and jumped …

Any one know how ? (with pics if possible)

Spotted from a distance heading past the police station at 1:15 yesterday afternoon not one I've seen around before had a jap rear bumper and standard rear lights

So a cambelt service is a normal run of the mill job yesterday but one that reminded me of how easy it is to get things wrong if you do not know how to check things correctly. Have heard a few owners here and our own customers sometimes suggest the cambelt is ok because they checked it by looking behind the right hand cover, now whilst you can check its general condition its no where near acurate enough to make a long term decision on. So back to the case in point, take a look at the first picture below of the belt I removed, it could be taken as a belt in good condition, even the timing lines are still there as is the Nissan logo further round. Picture tw…

Discovered in a breaker shell we were about to dispose of and remembered we had not removed the ecu, the ecu has a US designated number on the front and the zed it came from did have a few US parts fitted such as adjustable front shocks as well as rears and the correct touring and sport button for them. A few minutes to take the lid off and presto a genuine JWT conversion, there is a serial number written on the inside that fits with a full conversion by JWT an expensive way to doing it for sure!! make for a nice display item in the workshop cabinet.

Hi chaps, I have been speaking to a supplier of The TwinZ diffuser. Is it possible to arrange a group buy? They are happy to offer the part in all its variants (2+2, 2+0, UK/Jap plates) The supplier is not from the UK so the biggest saving from this group buy will likely be the shipping. Let me know if the committee are happy enough for this to go ahead? I would be happy to arrange it. I dont know of anybody in the UK that offers diffusers so hopefully this is not treading on anybodies toes. Hopefully this will let guys in the UK access to a part that we all know aint easy to get your hands on. Thanks

Hi there... I'm wondering if anybody has done or considered a decent diesel conversion for the Z? I've always wanted 1, I've had 3 200sx's a supra and a few other "fun" cars over the years. The only reason I haven't brought 1 recently is because I have to travel a fair few miles and fuel economy is a big thing lately. Sooooo... My question is... Are there any decent diesel engines that will fit easily enough into a Z and will the cost outweigh the savings? Cheers people :-)

Oke doke. As some of you know I am moving to the USA very soon. I was hoping to hang on to my car for the next few months but clearly cannot. So It has to go. A friend of mine has kindly put it up in his garage for sale at £6999. I believe for that he would warrant the car too. Not bad. It needs to go quickly so a reasonable good offer would not be refused, but a quick sale is now needed.....just left things a bit late I think! Anyway here is the link:http://www.havenmotors.co.uk/used_cars_sussex_nissan_63.htm Failing that get me on 07775 592 545 or email me barryj_schofield@yahoo.co.uk I will stay a member too and keep everyone informed of where …
