Hi all, I just noticed that one of my oil lines coming out of the oil tree is about 25mm (inch) away from the smaller pipe of my split down pipe that i believe is the waste gate side. Will this braided hose be ok do you think? Thanks Dan

I need some help here people...... My 300 is very hard to find 2nd gear, and crunches when coming out from 3rd. No crunch going into any gear. Also, when in 4th only, the gear stick feels and sounds like it is being hit by something, a very random knocking noise, every now and then, but only in 4th. I can only assume the clutch is foobarred, or would it be symtoms of a dry box (no oil) or worse case, a shagged box (hope not). Any advise, as always most welcomed. Cheerz, Alz. Manual TT jap with Z1 premium shortshifter, standard (old) clutch and standard box, btw.

Just an observation,perfectly good zeds are being broke for spares, cars of quite low value are simply worth more broken than complete.Point in case mate cant sell his M reg good condition,good engine,long mot etc etc cant get 900 for it. he is seriously thinking of breaking it .What a waste of a good car.

As per title ..... Whats the score with a koyo type rad and a stock TT cowl??? 1. it doesnt fit. 2. It fits fine 3. You need to mod it. 4 A Fiat Punto one fits.... etc etc Help, advice, facts, pictures... offers of help......:balloon: i need to get something organized on Bobs car while its at my place. Its downright dangerous as it is and more importantly not at all efficient:blink:

hello everyone. i want to try and modify and build a one off front bumper. so my question is, has anyone got a standard front bumper that they don't want? a damaged one will be fine. thing is i don't have alot of wedge to spare. if anyone can help then i would be very grateful!

For ages now, what I thought was my door lock (actuator), has been making a really loud noise when opening/closing . On taking the door card off I realized it was actually this that was making the noise! After replacing it the noise has stopped so I won't be waking half the street up anymore when arriving home late! The problem I have now is, when I press the alarm fob the catch inside the door locks and the alarm sets but if you pull the door handle the door still opens?! I've tried just closing the door and using the key but the the catch still goes in to the locked position and the door still opens. Any help would be much appreciated. Matt

i need to have my front bumper repainted but the car has had a full respray at some point. it is still black but it looks as tho it has a gold metallic in the paint. Is this a standard colour?

My zed came into the country in 2006 and just stuck my hand in the sun visor pocket and found a japanese receipt and a road toll card!........anybody else found anything japanese in theirs?

Quick question, Does anyone have the dimensions of the adaptors needed for the calipers when fitting 350Z discs?? Just i have a mate that runs an engineering shop so he can make the up for me, Sadly he is pretty busy so if i can give him the dimensions he can get them done for me quicker than if i take the car to him. Cheers in advance.

I bought a set of samco hoses long time ago just had a chance to fit them last weekend ... 4 intercooler pipes and 2 rad pipes ... have 4 more but where do they go :) or they are not for 300zx ? before after 4 hoses dont know if they are for 300zx

Probably a daft question, but are the rear subframes/diffs the same on an NA LWB and NA SWB?

Well, I finally done it today....... Got my front Evo VIII Brembo calipers fitted (at last!!) with the relocation brackets, new disks, braided lines and yellow EBC pads. Loads of room behind my Ultralites, and no clearence issues, happy days!! The response is awesome, and they look good too. Only took a few piccies, but enjoy. So now my old set up is for sale..... Nissan 350Z track discs, 300zx alloy calipers, relocation brackets, EBC yello pads with lots of meat left, braided lines and all the hardware. I will post the pics and for sale thread in a few days. Alz.

Does anyone know where i can get them as cheap as possible?? on ebay they want £350/£400 and im not paying that as the bushes are really good anyway. just thought i would swap then whilst the subframe is off I think these are everything for the NA Rear Differential mount bush X2 Rear Wishbone-lower, front/rear bush X4 Rear Radius arm-upper, inner/outer bush - std X4 Rear Control arm-upper, inner/outer bush - stdX4 Rear Toe/track arm, outer bush - excl HICASX2 Rear Toe/track arm, inner bush - excl HICASX2 I have two arms already poly bushed. Its the 2 smallest arms, anyone know what they are called??

Was broken down in the girlfriends car in Newton Stewart and went a walk only to find an Immaculate white Turbo zed with a Japspeed exhaust on it.

Anyways, really nice well looked after car whoever you were :)
