Went to lees garage in shrewsbury today after having some smoke issues with the zed, It's so difficult to find people around here that will even entertain working on the zed never mind for a decent price! car has never run as good as it does now, thanks a lot for your help today mate

Hi guys, Just a quick question but is the trim for the A pillar ( between the dash and sun visor) the same on the SWB and the LWB as I need one for my shortie but the one on sale on EBay is a LWB and I haven't got a clue if it will fit :blush: Cheerz lads and lassies :thumbup: .

Evening guys, Anyone know what the black box is in the pictures? Its under the plastic trim by the handbrake. Cheers, Rob

Ok, I bought and fitted a new front lower ball joint but there is a conical insert on my old ball joint that does not appear on my new ball joint. Is this meant to unscrew from the old ball joint and fit to the new one? To say that I'm confused is an understatement :blush: Pictured - new ball joint (with dust cover removed) fitted to lower arm and old ball joint with tapered inser/spacer. Hopefully somebody knows what's going on - Andy

Hi Guys, Just bought a set of clear indicator lenses but they have a few scuffs on them. Whats the best stuff for cleaning and polishing them up?? Looking to remove some of the scuff marks... Cheers

Well this afternoons mission was to remove the AIV andPVRV systems, I didn't bother with a write up as there are a few out there and the one i used was this it was bang on made it very easy. http://forums.nicoclub.com/how-to-delete-your-aiv-s-90-300zx-n-a-t473354.html Heres my pile of junk.. And with that gone my car suddenly doesn't leak air in anywhere as bad as it was and will actually hold a steady idle.. Just a small one to find now but i can drive it now ... well once i find the small water leak at the back of the engine :laugh:

On the Upper Ormeau Road South Belfast at 1600hrs red lwb LKZ100 looked very nice:thumbup1:who are you mate?

after collecting my turbos from Craig (zx-tt) , i got some strange ideas in my head for different things to do with my zed, the most realistic is to repair my cry02 system that i used to run on my S13, the system is basically a way of cooling various components under the bonnet using C02, i did my uni coursework on it ( not a Cry02 system but a copy we made) although it did use a genuine intercooler sprayer. basically its a safe way of getting more power our system basically dropped the charge temperature by about 30-35% more then without it average was 32% iirc. i've still got the tank and solenoid although 90% of the plumbing and wiring is gone an…

Hi Can anyone help or got any ideas what will work best firstly do the windscreen trim strips [vertical ones] just pull off or do you need trim tool to release them and secondly what paint would be best to use to cover up where the black plastic coating has come off, or any other ideas to Re-Furb them. Simon

has anyone ever thought about running two stock side mounted intercoolers in parrel. ie two stock ones per turbo. the idea of increased sized sidemounts is obv to increase cooling via exposure and to allow easier flow thus reducing resistance. if you can t them so each stock one process half the air amount as per normal their would be half the restriction and twice cooling capacity....... any input guys? i recon theres room in there.....

On the car at the moment. will indefinately be removed but wont be for at least 12 months, to give way to refurbed stock rims and more subtle skirts. Anyway, if you can tell me what they are, would be much appreciated.

Bought my cable and software from them a while back now but can't seem to find the site anymore :blink: Any idea if it's just me or is the company away now?

With the sales on zeds being so stale at the moment im wondering if its better just to break my spare shorty up. As i have put a few nice bits on her that i could either sell or swap onto the black shorty. Im not looking to drum up any interest in selling the car really just need to decide what would be best and whether i would make over a grand in breaking. Ill add the for sale ad below as i cant link threads on this laptop. I have been considering selling my spare shorty as the summer is creeping on and is a good time to start selling. I do have the room to store her but do not really need this zed. I bought her as a non working project on the side a…

Did the 300 only ever have 2 factory (original) options of spoiler over the years??? please help as there may be an issue for me with scrutiny at my next meet! I can only use factory fitted option

As you know I took a bit of a risk in buying a manky TT for £500 After finding a breakers quite nearby i started buying parts to sort its looks and running issues.. This evening I got around to fitting a replacement bumper to the front, Its not perfect but it was £10 with some other stuff I got and its a huge improvement over the one that was there.. Before... After...

Fitted my new japspeed s/s exhaust today turbo elbows back sounds awesome!!!

I am very pleased to say my black Z went for MOT today and passed with a couple of advisories... Its not even turned a wheel on the road since having the replacement engine fitted last year so was very pleased with the result as most of the car has been apart! :tongue_smilie: I'm making a boost leak checker out of an old MAF this weekend as I can hear a hissing noise and its only boosting to 0.5 bar :laugh: But cant track it down with the engine running as its too noisy everywhere lol. Still got loads of aftermarket parts to fit and more tasty ones on the way, about time I gave the Z some attention and treats, so pleased to be back behind the wheel :thumbup1: oh…

Pictures added and looks like car came from south....... cornwall area! Mate of mine has just purchased a black wide body 300 off a salvage site. Its a lwb 93 import auto with little front end damage very minimal really, it has a few goodies on it but I am not sure if its a members car so if any body knows of this car and can point him in the direction of spec would be really helpful. It has brand new tubs on it to..... just a added bonus his mate is breaking an exact same wide bodded 300:clap: New member arriving shortly:gunsmilie: Dave

Reet, well about a week ago, I got in the car, clutch was fine first press, pressed it again had a bit of play, then more play, more play, until there was just play except for about an inch from the bottom. Got back in the car later on, pressed it, still loads of play, then what felt like a little pop, then nothing at all in the pedal, just play, just how it feels without the master cylinder attached, just the pedal springs. So I looked under the car expecting to see fluid, nothing, tried to bleed it, but without the nipple on I get a bit of blow suck, but with the nipple closed, pedal down then nipple open, absoloutley nothing at all comes out. Removed the master cylinde…

its failed before but then come back again once ive got some speed back up but this time its just died. normally i loose the power steering aswel that hasnt happened for months though. today however its just gone, it fell like a stone under full acceleration and hasnt come back up since. the hicas warning light came on aswel. i had a quick look underneath nothing hanging down. i checked the pas pot,which was full. short of leaving it alone for the night and hoping it works again tomorrow might sound silly but that does seem to work most of the time. im outta ideas.........
