Just wondered if anyone had built, or knows of a kit car around a 300zx engine, running gear etc? I have a spare NA auto and rather than spend money on body work I wondered if it could be a donor for a kit as the engine and gear box are mint with only around 56000 kilometers on the clock. Pic,s or leads welcome :biggrin:

Does anybody fancy a double din stereo surround? Yeah? Me too lol I think you can still get em from Z32 Zone.. http://www.z32-zone.com/main.html Has anybody ordered from them before? I dont have a clue how to go about ordering something in Japan. I reckon they will work out at £200 odd. I wonder if they could do a group buy? Another option is this......... http://zthirtytwo.com/ These are LHD, other than the clock being on the left, is their any other difference? I could live with the clock on the left :) Not the greatest website in the world though

I've finally got the Z to run right with no air leaks. The oil leak is also cured but the water leak is still a pain in the backside. Its a drip coming from the centre of the back of the engine somewhere and i can't see where though are there any common places for a Z to spring a leak from? Like i said its not pouring out just dripping

Have noticed since the new format that the pm system is not 100% reliable with both inbox and outbox pms going missing prime example is kassa steve and others are under the impression that we are not replying to their messages , but we are not receiving all of them, can a mod please look in to this with some urgency . In the meantime i would suggest emails are more reliable Jeffatzedworld.co.uk jefftt

My Z passed its mot today but the tester advised it may not get through next year, I already know it needs two sills on it, what else is likely to be gone underneath, I know its impossible to say but from maybe your past experiences - does a rotten 300zx underneath usually mean a £500 repair bill or is it likely to be more terminal? Only reason I am asking is I cannot get it on a set of ramps until next week and I can see some sleepless nights coming my way :( :( :(

Hi guys I am changing the PCV valves on my zed after a conversation with Jeff at Zedworld, has anyone ever done them before? If so do you have any how to guides and is it easy?

Quick question did JDM front bumpers ever come with headlight wash kit? I know some imports can have a UK front bumper fitted but this is a JDM front bumper with wash kit. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2629977.htm

Can I run Data Scan software from my Zed to my I Pad? If so, How would I go about loading it? and also, what cables would I need? (that's if it possible of cause) The laptop I am currently trying to use is hopeless. Thanks in advance.

I know they are labelled L & R. Is this to direct and aid airflow to the breaks? Or just so they look the same each side? I prefere the spoke design when they are on the wrong sides. But if it aids brake cooling ill keep my track set the way nissan intended. Cheers

Anyone got the wiring diagram? I think it use to be in smithy's or danny@dta's section. Also do I need to use 2 inverters or will one do for both the sills? Thanks, Lee

Hi, Just bought a set of HEL braided hoses, and im not sure if its the write one for the 300 or even complete? Please can someone tell me how many hoses should be in the set, is it 4 or 6? Also im used to banjo type connectors. Is it right all the hoses have screw connectors? Thanks Matt

My zed is a '91 J-spec tt. Just about to leave the garage having got a new mot after being largely out of use over the winter. However the electric ac fan (for the evaporator) has decided to run continuously. Its likely I'll have to get it to a specialist - but before I do it there anytihng that typically causes this? Thanks

Hey guys, is anyone going from london to japshow or anyone wanting to meet up in a petrol station on the way ? : ) Cheers, Jo

Can someone post up the starting circuit diagram please as im on my phone. Got no spark at the plugs need to trace it back cheers Marty

Where can you get a hold of a diagnostic cable like the one BlaZt used to supply? Seeing as they no longer exist :no:

Silver zed in your garden, next to your Lotus Espirit. Peebles. We are doing work for you at the mo, after your wee flood. One of my techs just called to say you have a zed in the garden. They must know how zed daft i am lol

Hi, I have imported Zed from Jersey and filling this First Tax disc application and need some info (only 2 seater SWB): - CO2 g/km - Mass in Service kg - Length mm - Width mm - Particulates (pm) g/km - CO g/km - Stationary sound level (dB A) - Max Net Power (kW) Channel Islands logbooks does not contain this info, but DVLA is requesting me to write it...

Looking for some advice. Now, my engine knowledge is very limited so i'll do my best here..... Very basic overview is i've had a TT engine rebuilt and installed into my once NA zed. We're now ready to fire it up, got all excited but it wont fire. Seems to backfire when trying. Does anybody have any suggestions what could be wrong? I'd imagine it could be a number of things. We are going to try another CAS - it looks as if the timing is 180deg out. The CAS worked fine before hand but ive had it chromed which may have fooked it up?? The cam timing appears to be ok, we dont think there is a problem there. I am running JWT cams. Any other sug…

Anyone got a picture of a 99 spec front with a wide arch rear?

Red Zed M1 South bound just passed Northampton around 5pm today ( monday 11th ) was in some slow moving traffic and spotted u on the other side in the Slowwwwwww Lane ... lol

Was it anyone from here? I was in the Pulsar doing my best to break the 'box :D

Here are some pics of our new front fascia. We have put a lot of work and dedication to get the OEM look and fitment we always look for on our products and we have also redesigned the whole bumper to get an improved look all around. The main differences from our previous design are: - Smaller mouth to look more proportional to the car. - Longer nose for an improved look and also to fit a FMIC setup better. - Improved lower section for a more aggressive and modern look. - Stock lower body line to flow better with the rest of the body. - Improved fitment (as good as an OEM front fascia). - We are using the Honda Accord/Prelude side markers as turn signal…

Cheeky i know, but dont suppose anybody close by in the North East has a couple of hours spare to help me fit three gauges do they? Boost, temp and oil pressure.. I have all the bits...

May be of interest to everyone.......i had trouble locating bottom arm balljoints for a zed and was told by a number of places that I would have to buy complete bottom arm (£215 +vat each for the rear :( )......... so I got in touch with Chris at Conceptua Tuning who do skyline balljoints,and he was more was more than happy to get an initial set fabricated,as long as I was willing to be the guinea pig and try them on my zed.If they fit well and the feedback is positive they will be putting them into production.First set for me to trial should hopefully be with me tomorrow so will keep you guys posted :)
