Has anyone got any advice on how to remove an original spoiler? Or is it just a case of applying heat and trying to pull it off? I wasn't sure if there are screws holding it on. So far I've only managed to break the ends off.

My friend spotted this on cannock chase today and also took a pic :detective:

Well after worrying about the nuts/studs sheering off whilst doing this decat install so far they have been a piece of p*$$ to undo it's getting a spanner on the top ones that been the problem. Ok, got 3 out of the 4 nuts & bolts off the passenger side. Still have the top studs drivers side to do, which seem to have less access The one stud I'm having problems with is the lower stud, nearest the transmission tunnel. In the picture you can just make it out next to the mirror. Do i need to remove the O2 sensor to get better access? If so is there a special tool for removing it as I think it's a 22mm nut on the one thats higher up. If I need to get the…

hi all. Just wondered if my pcvs could been cleaned as a bit of white smoke on start up and tic over or is it easier to just buy new..

My 91 won't go into reverse unless I use the switch behind the gear lever. Thought I read on this forum sometime ago about a switch somewhere that may need adjusting to make it go into reverse using the gear lever buttons? Cheers

Ok so we had a zed in Saturday for a simple brake pad change, however prior to traveling to us he had a flat battery and had a jump start from a mates van. He noticed on the way to us the abs light was on, the interior light was not working and the radio was acting up as in lighting up when the door was open but not switching on and the power light going out when the door was closed? also the central locking was not working. So after a quick brake pad change we turned our attention to the fuses in the drivers foot well, it was quickly found that the fuse supplying the radio, central locking and interior light was blown replacing this cured the radio, locking and inte…

Unusual to see something like this among the 370z's and GTR's so I thought id post details up. Trade seller looking for offers so potentially an opportunity for someone to get at a steal?

I meant advice, it was typed on my phone I currently have a lip type spoiler on my zedbut I thought it looked naked so I ordered a 99 spec one from car mad However because of the lip spoiler on my car being a fibreglass skin I cannot get it to sit right. I tried taking it to a body shop but all they could suggest was filling the lip which is hollow full of mastic so that if they bolted the spoiler to it it wouldn't cause the lip to sink under the weight of the legs on the 99 spec. So it appears that I can't get it fitted unless filling the lip fill of mastic is the right way to go. Can somebody give me some advice on where exactly the 99spec legs …

just installed this system and i think i'm missing something now i have Maf on one side and another on other side .. with one connected up the car will no run untill the other side is blocked off i assume its becuse theres un mtetered air getting in to the engine by that side is there such thing as a Dummy Maf where it gets connected up to the other so it works ?

I've been looking at quoted weights for the Z32, does anyone know if the numbers quoted were with a full tank of fuel and a driver? Reason I ask is after my corner weighting mine apparently weighs 1353 which seems low, quoted for a Slicktop TT is 1500 ish. But allowing 75kg for a standard driver (im more like 92kg) and it only had 1/3 tank of juice so another 35kg for the rest of the "full tank"would give us 1390. I have no aircon, how much does that weigh? :)

Hi all, Does anyone know where to buy and what exhaust is best for sound and power? Ive got the 3" super splits down pipes and greg dupree 3" de cat pipes im now after the rest of the system. I like the look of the Billy boat, Labree systems with the quad type exhausts but cant seem to find a UK seller for any 3" systems for the 300zx in the UK Can anyone help? Dont really want to go the custom made route as i will have to sort transport for the Zed to be carted around.

Have been having a few problems getting my boost to set correctly. So does anyone here have one in your z that you can show a diagram of how you have it plumbed in please. I have it plumbed in as folloes on mine Pressure sensor dirict into balance bar Solonoid has two sides, COM & NO. COM is linked via a t-peice from both Wastgate actuators NO is then linked via t-peice direct to both dump valves. But still even with the avcr set to off(so shouldnt boost above .85bar it will boost to death when it shouldnt go above the .85bar. Have i plumbed anything incorrectly?

does anyone know the checklist of causes for safety boost?
