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 :)

Im in the process of putting my Z back to standard and am wondering what peoples views are on the standard recirc dump valves? I have these hard pipes going to the throttle bodies that had injectors plumbed in. Im unsure whether aftermarket ones can be fitted to these or do they normally come with a mounting flange you tig to the pipe yourself? How does the plumbing work on recircs, all I know is there is a pipe about an inch diameter blocked off coming from my intercooler to throttle body pipe. I need an education on this please....:biggrin:

Due to personal circumstances. (Namely a change of job and having to start being paid monthly instead of weekly) I dont know if I can keep my Zed. I got it for a bargain price, and its mint. A few owners have said how good the paint is, although I want to respray it. Interior is perfect, like from the factory, nothing peeling or lifting, no fading, not a single scratch on any of the plastics even in the boot. No clips missing anywhere, inside or under the bonnet. totally complete car. I only have two problems with it, 1 the exhaust is blowing and 2 the lower PAS hose. It runs like a dream and sets my pulse racing. The thing is its an Auto, Do I sell up, when cir…

Any ideas what would cause this?

Does anybody have any good photos to show where the intercooler pipework mounts? I know what pipe goes where etc but struggling with mounting. (geez, thats some cracking innuendo :) )

Firstly hello :) little background Bought my UK 300zx TT on ebay a little while back, with no MOT, so i figured it would need some work. I had the pan welded up, brake lights fixed new horn installed. Failed MOT on brake lines. Had new copper brake lines put in throughout, and the fuel tank and straps replaced. Got the car through its mot has a nice full 12 months HUZAHH okay so the current issue until recently its been running fine, now i know the dash board dials are not the most reliable things on the planet but the oil pressure sat steady between 45-60 ish (when warm), but just recently at idle and low speeds we are talking drops to…

just a quick one, whats the quickest way to tell if a 300 is an import or a UK, i'm talking about a visual clue..not looking in the log book.... Rich

Hi, i've got the boards from the 2 pod units off the dash, dis assembled, and it looks like its had the diode mod applied (i think) it has resistors added. my one question is can i add voltage to the board to "light" it up, 12v, 5v...if so where do i put it.. Just trying to check it as i go along. Is it that simple.. any help would be helpful. Rich

do these fit the 300zx tt? ty jay

Ok, where do I start........... I have been having this feeling for some time now...... Should I keep the'ol girl or give her up for someone to takeover/take care off. I look at my 300 and admire her to the max!!!! But, when I get these little running issues, I think.... fook it, sell up and be done. Now these always turn out to be small niggly problems that are easily solved, but it does wear you down. My only issues are; rough idle and an intermittent vibration from the front end, and I have strived endlessly to try and solve with no resolution to an end, but there must and always is an end, isn't there............. My next worry is that, I seem to drive …
