Hi I just thought hat I would send this message to wish you all well on the forum as I wont be visiting so much in the future. I relatively recently re-subscribed as I was looking to get back into a Z. After being scared by a super powered nitrous, eth, steriod boosted Z and failing to find the right car for me I have finally succumb to the lure of a less special but more practical motor. I loved the time I owned a Z and there are so many knowledgeable people on here, most of whom I have never met in person but would like to thank. My experience only teaches me that the special cars that some of you guys have are prizes, sure you may get used to them but you will have …

Anybody got any images of the starter motor cables brackets theres a couple and 1 which is sort of a cable tie 1, i've looked online for images and cant find any good pics, i just forgot to take some when i removed mine so could'nt recall were they went ... cheers :thumbup1:

Hi ya'll hope everyone is in good spirits giving the marvellous summer weather. I'm looking to upgrade my smics and I wanted to know if anyone is using the following or which of the following are better, pros cons etc. Im not looking for 600+bhp. The smic is the last thing I need (I think) as I have bigger injectors and a remap. If I can get 500 or around that number I'm good. So its between option one: https://conceptzperformance.com/ams-motorsports-ams-omega-2.5-side-mount-intercoolers-nissan-300zx-z32-ams-omega-25ic-z32_p_33945.php option two: https://conceptzperformance.com/new-czp-titan-side-mount-intercoolers-arc-style-core-2.5-nissan-300zx-z32-avs-…

Just on sorting out the black car and have a couple of vac piping questions surrounding the boost controller and external wastewates. Question 1 Should the vac/pressure from the suction pipes be taken from both sides and then T'd into the boost controller solenoid or can I just take it from 1 side pipe? Question 2 Same question really but for the side ports of the external wastewates. For info, the boost controller is a greedy profec b spec 2. The turbo system is greedy td05 16g with external wastewates. The intercooler pipework is 2.5", so not standard. The turbo to intercooler pipes only seem to have 1 little outlet on each side. This …

Hi all, looking at getting my Z back on the road after 3years. After a quick bit of help please, I’ve got a fuel leak that’s dripping down the gearbox. Anyone got fuel line diagrams or able to point out where it could be leaking? TIA Anthony

Hi all, I’ve got a UK-spec front plate on my JDM car, but it doesn’t fit flush because of the narrow JDM bracket. I’d like to keep the UK plate shape, but before I start searching for a UK plate holder/bracket, does anyone know whether it will fit flush on a JDM bumper? They look similar to me, but thought I’d check! Thanks

Hi All Hoping you can give me some advice as the 300 seems to have developed a vibration which is noticeable at 70mph, if I go over this it gets considerably worse. It starts about 60mph, so I did the usual of get wheels balanced and that hasn't solved it so I'm thinking maybe drive shaft or prop? I had a single piece prop so I can rule out that its the joint in the prop. Anyone able to shed some light? If it is drive shafts anyone know where to get these nowadays? Thanks Luke

Hi Gents I know this has been covered before, but rather than wade through all the previous post thought I would ask the wealth of knowledge here. I am looking at changing my N/A auto to a manual and I have been able to source a TT manual box with all the bits required box pedal slave and master cylinder's pressure plate and clutch fork etc and all the other various bits I will need, TBH not sure how much more I will need. first question is What else should I be getting for this conversion? so I can confirm before I pick up the kit. what parts should I buy new or replace? will the TT box fit with out alterations on to the N/A engine? I…

Hi everyone, I've been looking for a aftermarket seat rail for my Zed so I could install my bride seat. With no luck I've finally decided to have a go a making my own rail up. So what I did was unbolted the original electric rail for the standard seat retaining all the motor and electrics and I brought a pair of aftermarket side mount brackets. So I lined up the new side mounts to the original rail, the rear bolts lined up perfectly and I just needed to make the front holes a little bigger and cut off and remount the seat belt buckle so the bolt holes all lined up perfectly. so I loosely fitted the rails together then bolted the side mounts to the se…

I sold my 300 back in Jan and now looking at selling on most of my model 300 collection I have 1/24 scale, I do have a motor max 300 still in the box that I do know is collectable , I will be putting them on fleebay so if your after any let me know and I will put the number up

Hey guys, new here. New to the zed, but not new to modifying cars. As the business owner of Skuzzle Motorsport ltd I've been doing some pretty epic things with mazda mx5s for years. Anywho, I've bought a k reg tt manual to put my spin on and the brakes need an overhaul. The obvious choice is the 350z front discs, but is there a UK source for the brackets or am I going to have to make some. Many thanks Nick

Like most jobs on the Z nothing is easy. Spent two hours trying to get these bolts in position, so I could finally secure what?

does anybody have a 'how to' strip the door mirrors, need to get the body off mine to repaint them

hi guys, just a couple of issues today, nothing major but i'm a bit stumped, ok i went to change the targa trims today, to find the screws pretty badly rusted, under the door seal, the drivers side wasn't to bad with only 1 rusted screw, but this has rusted the metal targa panel itself, the passenger side was however worse as both end screws in the seal had rusted and there was nothing to put the screwdriver into so i had to give up. the passenger top also has a rust bubble on the outside. is it worth me trying to drill the screws out/ repair the panels or just try to find suitable replacements. i think if i do rebuild & keep the current ones they will get a coat of d…

Always new the zed was a lady but this is ridiculous.

Well got back from London yesterday thought nice weather got up this morning uncovered car took out of garage left run for a bit all excited even though I’ve no door cards convertible ready for a blast went to shell filled up with v power pulled out of garage and she stalled and wouldn’t start called AA as on phone to them looked at receipt I’d put £40 diesel v power couldn’t beleave how stupid I’d been so a bargain price of £199 to drain put I did get £10 petrol to get me on the way and also good job I knew what to do as guy didn’t have a clue on car now gone off idea of a blast til tomorrow so a expensive £250 round trip of two miles ! Bargain

My fuel gauge is off when low with gas light ? it’s at half tank when full it’s read accurate. I’m thinking it’s the fuel sending unit, i know that the fuel pump is different from the n/a version. But my question is are the fuel sending unit different as well or they share the same part? If anyone know where I can purchase them that will be much help thanks!

I may have spotted a zed in a youtube video i was watching. What do you think ? Full video is here :

Hi just wondered if there is a site like this for the 350z? I have just got my hands on one but I have a problem with the roof and I was hoping to pick some brains. BTW the 350z hasn't replace the 300zx I'm keeping both :cool2:

So I've decided im parting with the Z32 due to rot. It's a C-word after all the money I've spent on parts... but the cost of the below work, PLUS rebuilding half the body would just make it completely inviable. I'm not going to be able to sell it complete, so I can all-but write of the £3000+ I paid for it. I was close to RB26'ing my old datsun Laurel, but figure since I have an engine/box and all ancilliaries/electronics/ wiring already at hand I'd be more sensible spending the 5k I would on an RB26 on the VG instead (however I don't know how far 5k goes as of yet - so a bit of advice would be great). The problem I have is my Z32 overheated, clutch slips a…

Morning all. After smelling a bit coolant-y last night, I found a puddle under the Zed this morning. After crawling around underneath and tracing the path back up it looks like it’s coming from the short black hose at the top of the picture - in fact you can just see a blurred drop falling in the picture (assuming it’s uploaded ok). If I read the manual correctly I think that’s one of the outlet hoses from the radiator to the head? If so, any pitfalls in replacing it - or advice on how best to get at the rearmost clip, which I can only just about see! Thanks, Chris

Hi, can anyone tell me which skirts these are please? Also, do they make them for standard and wide arch? Cheers
