Hi mate's Im pissed and kinda happy at the same time, got my wheels last week delivered from drift works ,called them a bunch of times asking about fitment. they said et 30 was ok for my car but i guess there wrong. i put them on to day with sum budget tyres for the mean while "SUNNY 255/35/18 FRONT AND 265/35/18 BACK" WAS LOOKING COOL! heres a pic! i went round the corner and i hear a grinding noise, im saying wat the **** was that !!! its the wheel grinding on the caliper lol so im like ffs new ****ing wheels lol ("THANK GOD IT WAS IN THE INSIDE") So i go and get 5mm spacers for the front(for an offset of et25 now!) it now looks li…

Hello U.K. Z owners, I would like to introduce myself. I am an owner of a 1991 300zx TT over here in the U.S. I love the Z car and am amazed at the toughness and quality that Nissan put into our cars. The performance that we can get out of the stock components that are now in my case 21 years old is amazing.

Hi all, If I get a carputer installed, what type of connection does the Z32 have, to give out readings and diagnostics? I know how to create the GTR Digi Display using the OBDII connection, but have just realised the 300zx doesnt have OBDII. This is the sort of look I would be going for: and I would like to get the dash flocked in black, for a suede effect, which wont peel and then have the center console customized, and wrapped in leater with a contrasting double stitch, to surround the screen and heater slots, right the way down through to the gearbox surround. Anyway, if anyone can offer help or advice how to get the si…

Will this gauge pod holder fit right in the zed or am I better off buying one from z centre which is a lot more expensive http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Double-Pillar-Mount-2-Gauge-Holder-52mm-Black-RH-DRIVE-/380364309340?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item588f7ac35c

Look how much these are and are not the light up type :no: Don't expect he or she will get the asking price though :huh: I saw some local to me, the same for a LWB, they were slightly damaged and went for around £30.00. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JDM-Nissan-Fairlady-300ZX-Z32-Rear-Quater-Window-Visors-RARE-2-2-/230787542388?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35bc026d74#ht_2404wt_802

So twice now after very heavy rain I’ve found a little aquatic gift from the heavens in my drivers foot well… The mat had a good cup full of water on it… don’t even know how much has soaked into the carpet… I’ve checked the targa drain and it’s working fine, I can only assume its getting in though the widow rubber but can’t see any tell tale signs… looks like a hose on the roof job over the weekend.. Anyone else lucky enough to have a mobile foot spa?

Hey there need a sincere honest advice; here it goes; when I bought my Z couple years back in Italy the guy whom I bought it from had it completely stock; that is nothing changed except for the fact he had MAK Velano wheels (still does) the rest it´s completely stock originally..well it has the sungard tinted film on the windows..inside nothing has changed; the thing is a while back I am thinking about putting the BC Coilovers to slamm the Z..and I also was thinking about putting the JDM 99 rear lights; and also changing the speedo meter from white to blue leds...and I also has put the red stitched shift knob and handle break; The thing is.talking to him today after …

has anyone bought from Z1 recently, and can remember roughly what import duty is? iirc it was about 20% last time i bought from them, im going to be ordering a load of bits in the next couple of weeks so just trying to price it all up.

it's being a bit funny and only coming On every now and then. Not really found a good description of what this warning is for or what to check (think its for abs?) can some kind person point me in the general direction of what to look at please :)

What you think to Carbon front lip and carbon side lips? anyone make these for the 300zx ? if not, Car.Mad, do you know how to work wih Carbon? if not do you want me to come show you, and have the first set at cost price for the pleasure of doing so? I dont have moulds here for any skirts and lips, so you have the hardest part of the job done already...... Or if you want to make a weekend of it, we could design a whole new side lip for the Z, that is universal to fit under other skirts..... Here are some Carbon Lip pics on the R35 GT-R:
