Hi Mate, I need some advice on paint - give me a call! 07843 425220 Andy

Hi all, well I'm back from the Falklands with a broken ankle:mad2: So I'm sitting here getting ready for the summer. I have come back to find the car with a flat tyre, flat battery, and the rented garage has been leaking and dusty. That's what you get when the missus says everything is ok ffs! So what I'm looking at is getting a mop etc. the paint is new but want to take the swirls out and minor scratches. Anyone got any web sites or any advice on what to use, G3,G6 etc Cheers:cool3:

After receiving my new quotation from adrian flux and almost dying of heart failure. I would like to know who REALLY is the best company to go with for our zeds when IT YOUR ONLY CAR. I know most will have there's on a classic 2nd car policy but I would like to hear from those that have it as there daily driver with all mods declared. What price are you paying with what mods? Mine is a 1990 uk manual tt 8yrs ncb, aged 34 mods declared are Fmic larger radiator short shifter Excedy clutch lightened pulley wheel full stainless exhaust Hks hypermax coilovers uprated brake disks 19"axis wheels Bomex side skirts Stillen headlight panel …

not been on here for a while and when i posted sumat its been removed??? only been on the zed scene 12 yrs never had that before :(

Hi Got a transmission leak on my na anybody no anybody good?

As described in my other posts heres a couple of vids of the idling/running on my Zed 1st start up.. Seems to be running rich too but also doesn't seem balanced either and if you try to drive it just holds back badly and wont accelerate. Its as if its running out of fuel.

HI i have just finished my auto to manual conversion ....but am having proplem with idle ,on cold it starts up fine when used then stopped but when i restart the idle is up and down .now im running my auto ecu i did hear that the timing needs adjusting how do i do this ?..as i what to make the most of driving my zed before i take it of the road again after summer to finish her off :taz:

Holy moly! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wzH30uZy4Q

Pretty daft question really, but I only put a new OEM gasket on 6 months ago, and she's only done a few hundred miles since, but I really need to lift the plenum to sort an oil leak, today ideally, but I'll have to put it back on today, I know everyone is going to say you need a new gasket, but do I really? Very simple vacuum system and water bypas done, so no big deal lifting it again to put one on at a later date... Cheers...

Hi baz, I've noticed in your sig pic that you have a Jap style number plate on your zed. Where did you get it? I quite fancy one. I've spotted some for sale in the U.S but nothing over here Thanks

As title says ????

Well the cars nearly stripped now and not sure what to do with the shell? Its a 91 SWB in Black was only repainted in 2010 is it worth selling on or just weigh it in? its got no bumpers boot or wings, may even take the doors off depending if theres any interest? but has only ever had rust on the rear drivers sill which i had repaired last year What do you guys think? Craig

All of a sudden my view of the site changed to something more used on children's sites, big letters etc.. can anyone help? Rich

Hi Which injectors are best for a 91 auto na please

just fitted twin air filters after having a single one on will the ecu need reseting or will it detect it itself read a lot about disconecting battery for 30 mins is this necessary

Going to be looking to get the zed painted in the near future, few other jobs first though. Question is how much paint etc will i need to do a full hit on the 300? i can get the paint etc from work for much cheapness and thought id be aswell getting it the now so it's just a case of dropping the car off when i find someone to paint it. Cheers in advance.

Hi Mods can any of you shed any light to what happend to my Post in the sale section ? ( 300zx Decals for the sides of your car ) as i can not seem to find it

Are there any differences between a NA & TT front and rear standard shock & spring setup??

hi all got all my parts for the hicas elemination does anyone have a link so i can check what im doing is correct pipe wise chers all:thumbup:

Hi everyone Ive searched and found that 068 seems to be the one, however what is the correct ampage. My battery has died and its not the right one anyway. Thanks.

Wanting to get my rims refurbished, but its tricky trying to find someone to take them on. I can get them all powder coated silver for £200, but i'll loose the chrome polish around the rim. I can only find one place willing to split them, but they won't do the polishing, so i'd have brand new looking silver spokes, but the outside lip would be just bare metal, and even then it would cost £200 per rim. So its not looking good for the shiny bit. What would you guys do? I'll try and find a picture so you know what i'm talking about.

Was there just one type of Tokico BMC on the Zed? The one I have has BM57 on it. The reason I ask is that I've traced a problem with my brakes down to one seal on the BMC being misshapen. Rather than buy a s/h bmc 'dI much rather get the oem service kit. The one Z1 sell is for a tokico 1" diameter internal bore. Cheers Steams

Got a irritating problem with the car temperature. I get hot air blowing in the car no ptoblems, until occasionally it will blow through cold whilst stationary. I can't see any leaks anywhere. I've filled the radiator upto max, run the car upto temperature and made sure there's no air left in the system. Yet if I stop the engine, remove the rad cap, there's little pressure and the water is only tepid at best. The engine doesn't overheat, but has got upto 90° when it usually sits,around 80°-83°. Any suggestions?

Hi guys, a while back had a post about a backfire when I rev to 2000rpm and let it drop back to idle. And felt a little flat like it was holding back. Changed every sensor on the bloody car, coils even injectors the other day. I only found problem by accident today, tried turning cas fully anti clockwise and problem gone lol. All I can say Is my timing gun must have had it, cause been setting to 15btdc so many times and it's been the same pop pop bang bang. Been using no1 coil, not the loop. Thing is set another z up the otherday with my light and that's fine. Cause I had the light and trusted it didn't even think to turn it further lo…

I'm trying to get the zed insured on a classic policy as i've already got an everyday car. I've phoned Footman James, Performance Direct and Adrian Flux but they all say they don't insure imports! It's so frustrating as im sure there's not much difference between the uk and jap spec. Anyone got any recommendations for other companies as it's looking like i'll never get the car on the road.
