Had some terrible weather today, whilst I was at work the wifes Vectra is now a total loss as it got fully submerged. The Zed was garaged but took a fair bit of water as well, managed to get it started and it drives and runs fine, but has a few inches of water in it. Are there any drain holes I can open to get the worst of the water out before getting it cleaned up?

SHE PASSED!! No advisories either. Well chuffed to say the least, considering previous years. :dance::dance::dance:

Saw this and thought of you:biggrin: http://cars.jdm-ottawa.com/jdm-nissan-fairlady-z-300zx/#

Grey L-reg UK model with 99spec rears spotted twice in the last couple of days by Friends in Bristol.

Firstly let me say thankyou to Yewcheck, who kindly donated a door catch. It was received in the post today, however true to our Royal Mail postal service, it came in a little plastic bag, with a printed appology on it as shown below: Today I managed to get the door card of the drivers door, to start looking at exactly what the problem was. I found it was the catch which is directly attached to the lock and a true pain in the butt to reach. Nonetheless, I managed to locate it and remove the problem catch as shown below: As you can see at the top of the clip, it should be a complete circle, which attaches to the back of the "key hole". Unfortunatel…

Hi all, Z's been sleeping for 5years (due to a whole range of circumstances) in a cozy dry garage, but now it's time to finally get it back on the road, just wondered what you'd suggest i check out/change before i try and drive somewhere for an MOT, and also what'd be good to have serviced on it after 5 years of sleep. Cheers David

Some of you may have seen I've done a manual conversion on my NA with an engine change at the same time. The car turns over but will not start as I'm getting no spark. I have noticed though that the power light is flashing and wondered if thats normal in a conversion and what it means? i've done a search and found it means autobox fault, have I missed some wiring somewhere or something? I haven't done the reverse light wiring or ECU pin 44 ground yet maybe thats why?

....well tea and bacon sarnies actually :biggrin: Ok, does anybody fancy helping me finish off a few jobs on my zed today (Friday)??? If it can be sorted in time (I'm leaving 10am sharp on Saturday) it's being used by Luke Fink in round 2 of Drift Allstars this Sunday, but needs a few things sorting to get it to comply with comp regs. if you can lend a hand it would be much appreciated Mobile: (07789) 488020 cheers Pez

After removing the turbo I found this oil line next to the pressure sender cut off and crimped over. Can anyone tell me where it should go and have a picture of what it should look like as I can't find it in the service manual Cheers

And it seems to have worked :) Treated the targa seals with ground nut oil as per advice on here, its raining and no drips....well not till I get in lol

Only when car is warmed up, level ground or slightly facing downhill. I have had pcv valves fitted but it still does it, if I bring the revs up a bit to say 1500rpm it stops smoking...

I need some ideas for mine... and I know you lot need no excuse to show off your 'bay :punk:

ever wanted to show of your car ... with the a turbo sound ... well get a load of this crap http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Saber-EDV-Dump-Valve-Simulator-Fits-Blitz-HKS-Bailey-/150712078259?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item231723cfb3 [video=youtube_share;u1jpJppnseI]

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....

Drop me a PM with your addy today m8 ... lights are leaving or if any one knows it can u pm me with details ...
