It was nearly six years ago that Yaseen brought me his damaged slicktop . After I stripped off everything he wanted I was left with a damaged rolling shell. Today I took it for an MOT and got a first time pass.:thumbup1: Just need to get insurance transferred to it and tax it for June 1st. Its still a work in progress with lots to do. Might have a run to JapShow at Santa Pod.

I origninaly had a uk spec manual TT which was awesome until it had engine troubles and welding troubles and every other sort of troubles so I got rid for a jap spec auto TT at the end of last year. I've been driving it around but I missed the manual the auto just did too much for me and apart from the kick down was a bit boring, I almost looked at selling and waiting until a decent manual came up. Last week however Lee dent spent a few days on it doing the manual conversion which I had kept from the old zed and fixing a few other problems and sorting out my timing which had been dangerously way out since I got it! 6 degrees out! Could have been an ouch! N…

hey everyone, does anyone out there still have the original emergency flare in their import? I only ask as i have managed to get one for my z with the holder but don't know where it actually goes. Any info (and photo's) will be gratefully received. Dave

Anyone know where I can find this info? Used search feature but nothing :( Im sure I saw it somewhere, Ideally, would like to work out the date of manufacturer as DVLA say its first registered Feb 1990 and one owner from new, however Masayuki insists its a 1993 as he bought it new himself in Tokyo in the March of 1993. Thanks in advance.

Hi people.... Can a TT run without the IAA unit and the Air regulator if all ports are blanked? Cheers, Alz.

The lightened fly wheel on silver streak is a rps type Matt the owner just rang me to ask if I knew what size allen key is req to remove the friction plates he has tried 3--4 mm but no good are these imperial sizes???????? Dave

I know i asked this question before - but only repeating it as i never had response. I did all as per diagram below plus i have removed AIV and PRVR's. For now i will keep manual boost controller and at later stage add electronic one - diagram shows both of them connected in digram - is that how it should be or i have choice one or the other? Thank you in advance guys! Also - how many are here with deleted PRVR's? Any difference?

Can some tell me why my import has -7 to +7 on the boost gauge instead of 14 ?

i cant find any strosek body kits,is it not made by anyone anymore? strosek for loads of other cars but not the zed:no::no::no::no::no:

Probably the worst bodge/instant fix I have ever done..........:blink: BUT it has transformed a poorly revving stalling engine back to its former glory. Now purring like a kitten and All clear on the fault codes.:thumbup1: Nobody will ever know:ninja: You can laugh etc...

As title - I saw a blue zx (an unusual blue) with a white roof and big rear spoiler on the M4 heading east on Sunday afternoon about 2.30-ish.... ......between Chippenham and Hungerford at various intervals - I passed you in Wiltshire in my own ZX and only caught the occasional glimpse of you thereafter (mainly in my rear view mirror.....) I think it was a J-plate import with the letters "JWT" on the numberplate; anyone here? Richard:thumbup1:

Hello, I live in worthing, west sussex I have a zed and I want to get it tuned up! Does anyone know of the nearest 300zx tuning specialist to me who knows what they are doing

This is a long read, so get a drink and get comfy! lol Just wanted peoples opinions on what's to be expected by a "specialist" 300ZX garage these days. The story................. After 5 years of having so called bodyshops (not the guys at Custom Exotics who have been the only people I've met who have pride in their work), I decided to make one last attempt at getting my Z back on the road or it would be broken/scrapped. Before getting it back into the guys at Custom Exotics to have some panels sorted and let the interior trimmer do his bit, I decided to make sure it was mechanically and structurally sound. There's not that many garages that I thought I could tr…

When the car was auto i always seemed to get 19 mpg. After the conversion i thought id see if there was any difference. Results: I now get 22mpg. Every little helps :laugh:

Hi All, My 300 has failed it's MOT on emissions. The reading is fine for about 10 secs but then it goes through the roof. The MOT tech has suggested lamda sensors faulty. The car does sit in the garage all winter so it may have had a bit of damp in there. Does his suggestion sound OK? Any idea who sells them? Cheers in advance. CT.

after reading crash courses how do you do it thread just now, after loosing lots of skin and blood on a zed engine, i have lost tools, that just seem to fall down the sides of the engine never to be seen again. to my memory so far ive lost , 2 x 14mm sockets, a 10mm socket, a small stubby screwdriver, a couple of stanley blades, a det sensor connector and the small plastic black screw from the top of the radiator. they have fallen and been lost down the sides never to be seen again, i can see one of the 14mm sockets, stuck above the turbos but below the manifold. But i have also found a 10mm snap on spanner and a spark plug both under the lower plenium, plus a pair o…

In the three and a half years that I've owned my Zed, I've only had to work in the engine bay a couple of times (compression check, IACV and various connectors). Tonight I thought that I'd remove the timing belt cover on the CAS side (to inspect the timing belt).......good gods! how many bolts hold that thing on? I've got skinny arms but even so - there's so many sharp bits of plastic and metal in the way.....and I must have dropped every tool I used onto the engine tray :blush: I know it's probably a trivial job but I've given up for the night, I'll try again tomorrow after work :hammer:
