Like lots of Zeds I have seen out there, it is the little things that make the car look its age, One of the main culprits are the tired looking trims which eventually degrade and start to show the metal beneath. I just wanted to try this stuff (Plastidip) out on my window trim as a quick experiment to see if it was worth doing or to just bite the bullet and buy a load of rather expensive trim. So I cleared most of the old trim from the drivers side window trim with a stanley knife and nearly cut my fingers off to boot.... some of the old trim just pulls away easily, and some really doesn't want to move. I taped up the bits around the trim and…

once warmed up she runs spot on . but intermittently on start up the idle seems to hunt . it floats up to2000 then drops to 1000 rpm then repeats a couple of times then settles. what causes this? cheers

planning on doin a plenum pull plus water bypass. Just wondered if any one on here knows what size hose is needed and lenght plus what will benifit from being changed for new whilst the jobs being done ie gaskets valves and other hoses..

Look at the rear plate on this......never thought of doing it that way, look closely now it is just a touch too long, haha :thumbdown: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300zx-Twin-turbo-Z32-mechanic-2-seater-/190651290692?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2c63b3d444#ht_500wt_949

Any one going to the wyke down car show in andover on the easter bank holiday,or am i going to be the only zed there again?:whistling:

Well, ive been driving my new zed all week! Ive used it for work too which is something ive never done before. It does look good, and it feels good when you can see it all day. EVERYBODY looks at it, i hadn't noticed it in my other zeds, but that might be due to the fact i didn't drive them much in the daytime. Now, my main concern, and it is a big one, is that its too slow for me. I thought it would be fast enough to keep me entertained, but it just isn't. I dont drive very fast, but like to feel the boost come in before i let off, and im just not getting the buzz. I does make a nice noise tho!! Now, its either a TT conversion, or i'll px it for a TT…

Heres some pics of the dump valves fella

At last me and a few pals got the diff in place :tongue_smilie: Was working untill 3am but it was worth it. We also got the 1 piece prop shaft, Drive shafts and a few loom problems solved. So glad its over and done with moving on to the next task now... A few pics

My ZX is running much better after changing the maf and two o2 sensors. The only problem is when I step on it, around 4000rpm it will drop right down as if there is no gas. I then depress the pedal and she drives fine, as if I am driving a manual car. The engineer could not find a fault when he connected the ZX to his diagnostics device. He said maybe the spark plugs need changing. Any ideas?

With all your fancy bling going :detective: I will be very disappointed if you haven't one of these Chris my friend :confused1: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/84-89-90-96-Nissan-300ZX-Polished-Billet-Z32-Z-logo-dip-stick-handle-NR-/260974947425?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cc351ac61#ht_500wt_949

is the timing belt the same for n/a and TT or different?

i was feeling rather smug that i'd bagged a solid low miles z for peanuts. it was an auto tt with faded paint and needing the obvious manual conversion. i dropped lucky on a shared donor car buy, then got cracking with the work planned.na diff/ box,undersealed,suspension change ,air filter the usual. i got this far as i say feeling pretty smug that all this was achieved under the price of 1500. but then i bought dump valves and tonight a short shifter and gearstick top .then next week its the front mount . then the paint.then the wheels............yes i've just come back to reality and realised the car is gonna cost a fortune!!!!!! f**k , afterthought...big brakes!!!! can…

Hi people, Ok, I have just purchased some NGK BKR7EIX-2667 plugs. These are the colder rated plugs that I need, due to all my engine upgrades, as I am getting det over 14psi on the ol' tubs. I just need to know what is the best gap to set these little puppies to....... Been advised on 0.6mm. Is this correct? Cheerz people, Alz.

Someone please help me. Im trying to remove the engine loom and cannot get the blue socket through the bulkhead. :headvswal Is there an easy way to get it through without cutting the plug off? Thanks

So, i've had a busy morning today fitting a Trust air filter, Apex Dump Valves and a Grounding Kit :) All went well, and really happy. Bad news is, my exhaust plans have changed... I currently have a twin exit Kakimoto exhaust, which sounds lovely. The right hand back box though has blown it's baffles out, so the plan was to convert it to a single exit system (so i can keep the Kakimoto). After starting it up today and giving it some to test the dump valves, i've noticed the left hand back box baffles are starting to blow out too :( So, long story short, i'm going to be now looking for a new exhaust. Think i'm going for a quad system but what is gene…
