Just had the text from Jimmer. Engine build finished and ready to collect! So a nice looking engine complete with forged internals, metal h/g, 650cc injectors and a port/polish. Time to get it home but can only drop it in the engine bay for now while I finish the 200. Might change my plans to .....

Think this is tescobags car, thought it was pretty funny it was at tescos :laugh: Really bad quality photo taken with a camera phone

Hi all, Just took some better pics of the car today, it's had the rear quarters painted and the rear bumper and I think it looks LOVERLY!!!!! See what you think, and also feel free to comment on the wheels :) Thanks guys :) Wayne.

as above really, im going to make the ac redundant, and add a more accurate water temp gauge. during this process it seems a good idea to use the existing fan, as addintional cooling. nissan wisely madethe ac fan an emergency overheat failsafe, however id like to lower the limit it cuts in at. id be maintaining the viscous, adding a junction fitting to allow me to run the aftermarket temp gauge. so what else whould i need and where can i purchase the parts to make this idea work.

just found this.. looks really good.... not sure if it's been posted before, but has manuals for different years... http://z32.wikispaces.com/Factory+Service+Manual

just got the Z though its MOT and surprisingly it passed :clown: The MOT man did say there's slight play in the rear wheels but wasn’t sure its suppose to be like because of the HICAS. So is there suppose to be slight play in the rear wheels? Cheers

hi all looking for some info on what i need, i've just bought a artigo a100 mini pc to use in the zed as the base for my carputer, also got the screen etc but i know the artigo has a dc to dc psu built in but i dont think this will suitable for use in car to protect from charges surges etc (correct me if i'm wrong) but being a pico itx board it only uses a 12 pin power connector and all the in car psu's i'm finding are 20/24 pin any ideas out there?

OK, Kind of stumped now… have issues with my consult connector (well I thought that’s what it was). Changed the connector over and extended the cable, checked all connections and all are fine, still won’t work. Also swapped the ECU. Checked the wiring diagram and (most) wires go back to the ECU (F1) via connector M64 / F2, the Green wire goes to M17 (combination meter) and M11 then fuse…. Don’t think I checked M17… I’ve checked the rest of these and all looks OK, I can’t see anything else I should be checking ….. could the connector to the dash clocks cause this if they have problems? http://www.karljapetre.com/z/ecu/eccs-color.gif I know my laptop and con…

Anyone broke down this morning? M5, between bridgwater and bristol, about 7.30 this morning? Partners Father saw a 300zx on hard shoulder, with bonnet up and an angry looking man :cursing: Didnt get colour or exact location, but will find out tonight!

ON THE ELECTRICS SIDE HOW EASY WOULD IT BE TO INSTALL ANOTHER SET OF HEADLIGHTS ON A ZED? the body work doesnt seem too much of a problem,then again lol the headlights are probably the worst part of a 300zx imo, has anyone ever used another headlight on their zed??? just curious.jay

......... as its costing me a fortune in fuel as i find myself going for a drive after work just because its sunny!!! :lol::surrender:

I thought it was about time that I started a build thread for my SWB TT manual, as my old LWB TT manual build was a big fat failure (read: ended up getting cut up into bits on my driveway and carted off to the scrappy in the back of a pikey's transit van!!) I figured that this time, rather than give a step by step commentary of its progress (which can be depressing when progress comes crashing to a halt) this time I decide that I'd build it first and when it was pretty much ready to hit the track, only then would I write it all up afterwards.. Here's the old girl as of yesterday afternoon, about 99% ready to rock: (big thanks have to…

Does anyboday have a Z1 oil cooler kit??? I cant get the oil lines to fit. They seem to be a bit too short. Any help welcome Thanks

I have an NA car, with TT engine, using an NA PAS pump. For whatever reason the pulley for the pump doesnt appear to line up properly. Does anybody know what i might be doing wrong? I have AMS pulleys but i dont suppose that would make any difference

I got told about a black zed that was following my mums Audi TT the other day down station road who was it?

Guys, Im driving a ‘90 2+2 TT. Me and my little one love the car, the booster seat goes in the front and she comes out with me a lot of the time. Yet its not pratical when the wife needs to hop into the car too. The booster seat however fits terribly in the back of the Zed, I mean I cant help but feel its more unsafe for her to use the seat, rather than use the stock seating/restraints that are there. After surfing around, I saw an Australian driver having the same issue and he was able to get his car exempt from the childrens seats laws as they could see that it was much safer to seat the child without the booster device. Heres some pics to show what …

As title, anyone buy the silver n/a from telford off ebay?.

Since the weather has been very hot recently, I've been trying to use the climate control. However I'm not sure if it is working properly. I always press the 'Auto' button then adjust the temperature (I set it to about 16), but it feels as though it is just drawing the air from the outside and blowing it in the car. I don't really know how to use the climate control, I've only used it when it has been cold, so I may be doing something wrong. It had its MOT on Monday, and it passed with no advisaries, and when I used it when it was cold it seemed to work fine. :confused:
