Taking the Z to Bordeaux for Easter weekend. Thinking of night driving do I need headlight adjustment stickers? Art

Does anyone have the evo 8 brembos on 350mm disks? I need to know what braided lines to use on this setup please, front and rear. Are there stock lines from another model I can use or will I have to have them specially made/adapted? Thanks Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk

Hi since I smashed up my beautiful Green 1995 300, I have been driving my older 300 most of the time being my only car, I had to take it off the road yesterday fo some major needed repairs. Lucky I still have the use of my brothers 911, seeing he is still living in Hong Kong. I am so embarrassed at how I have neglected my car, but only doing 1 - 2 thousand miles a year and having a bad back (no excuse really) it is now time to sort everything out before the next MOT. Having sold most of the parts I had collected, I have been getting ready with the long list of parts I now need, how the prices have gone up, can’t really believe it. Started stripping her…

hey guys, Who's the best to go to for a cam belt change around Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, bucks? only done around 5k since Jeff did it but that was changed 5 years ago now so I'm guessing it would still need changing.

Do insurers keep a record of declared mods on a car? I ask this questions because if I was to use the same insurer as the previous owner then I would expect the insurer to be able to advise me if there were mods that they thought were fitted that I might not spot. (at least all declared ones) any undeclared ones that I knew about from a sale I would declare or remove as I just don't want to risk things. As so many of these cars have some kind of mods now I just want to know the best route to take. What I really don't want to happen is to get insured and then for it to turn out that there is a mod that I was not aware of that the previous owner may not have declared or …

Well I bit the bullet and ordered a TwinZ rear spoiler from them last week, paid and was expecting it in the next week or so...... Big Mistake! Tonight I decided to look on my account at the tracking details and seen when or if it had shipped.... What I found was a note added in the order to say it would be sent out in mid June........ No email, nothing on the web page to say it wasn't in stock, bu**er all communication that I would be waiting months!! The website says" The TwinZ Design Rear HATCH Lip Spoilers are now available."......... Let alone the car is booked in for a respray in April...... Absolute Joke..... Thanks for letting me k…

Has anyone used "Performance Direct" for their insurance on their Z? I'm currently with Lancaster who have sent my renewal through at £370 (paid £302 last year). Performance direct just quoted me £217 with agreed valuation and salvage retention! Just wanted to see if anyone has used them before and if they are any good?

Had to drive out to a timber yard in the Sussex countryside yesterday. It was a beautiful day for a drive regardless but the attention the car received was ridiculous ! To cap it off on the way home on the A3 I was being overtaken by a van but it seemed to be taking a bit too long to go past......looked over my shoulder to see the driver VIDEOING me on his phone !! Thumbs up and past he went :-) I was half expecting an entry in the WAS IT YOU forum today.

A couple of questions prompted by a couple of AndrewG's posts https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?190273-A-great-way-to-spend-a-Sunday-morning&p=1988126&viewfull=1#post1988126 and his link to http://gtr-registry.com/en-nissan-300zx-z32.php 1. FAST gives the production date of my Z as 9904. Is there a way to get it even more precise - to week or day? It seems it's got a birthday coming up so want to give it the card at the right time :D 2. It's a shame the GTR Registry link doesn't cover JDM production. Is there any reference to when Series 6 production started (and how many were made, when)? I guess I could manually step back through VINs but …

Where can I get these clips from, any advice? Originals are well past their best! Cheers Darren

Here's a sneak preview after I finally had my new wheels fitted on Saturday.... ……. Further photos will follow, but for now, I shall share a couple of 'phone pics.... And I had a change of heart on the red "Z" centre caps, so I ordered some silver ones with black "Zs" :biggrin:

Can anyone tell me what make this boot spoiler is please?

Hi I discovered a few small rustholes on the subframe. The rest outside seems and sound ok. I've opened up and it lookes like it only around the holes I found that is rusted trough. There is some surface rust that I can see. Mostly around where the tension rod parts are mounted to the subrame. So I need advice. Cut out the buttom of the subrame and remove rust and weld in a new buttom part on the subframe? or Patch up the holes that is there now and spray the inside as best I can with some rust remover/binder or something and replace the subframe next winter?

After some advice here please? Towed home last night by AA - looks like head gasket has gone. Does anyone know anyone near Liverpool who can do this job and any ideas how much it will cost me? Or, might have a go at doing it myself - best place for getting gasket set from please? thanks all Trev

Hi everyone, I'm sure this question has been asked before. Does anyone know if there is any other model nissan seats that a straight bolt in swap, as I'm looking to change the front seats in my Zed but I'm having no luck finding any aftermarket side mount seat rails.

So I'm really pissed, I go to fit my new spoiler with optimism, then realise the 'factory spoiler' isn't factory at all but a fibreglass one. Upon further investigation it's been installed with about 2" thick of tigerseal. I've tried heat, wire, cutting parts of the spoiler and it simply will not come off the boot. At the silly prices I'm seeing rusty old boots for on ebay, is there anybody with some slick tips on removing this thing without warping my boot panel?

Dunno if any of you have seen this. Interesting collection of cars being auctioned. Several Nissans! One such being a 1992 300zx TT! https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/es19 https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/es19/essen/lots/r0078-1992-nissan-300zx-twin-turbo/733498

Hallo. A few days ago, my S6 '99 NA Auto started to idle roughly / misfire at idle. It's OK while driving but when off throttle (junctions, stopped etc) it idles roughly and feels like it's only the ECU keeping it going. If left to idle when parked, it runs smooth then about every 20-30 secs or so, it misses a few beats then runs smooth again. That happens about 10s into the below video. I managed to get ConZult and OBD ScanTech running but not sure what to look for (listen, I can help you build a new fibre network but as for my Z, I lift the bonnet, go "hmm- hmmm" and reach for an expert - which is you lot :) ). I've looked through a number of the rough idle threads…

Hi all, I bought a manual TT that had recently had an engine rebuild but still had some problems. I took a chance on it... this is generally my preferred approach, it's more fun... kind of. When I picked up the car, I discovered that it smokes on overrun; decent plumes after engine braking at low speeds, then when the throttle is reapplied or if the engine settles at idle (typically when pulling up to a junction or slowing and accelerating between speed humps). No smoke when accelerating or at start up / idle. I have been doing a lot of googling and reading a lot of old forum threads about these symptoms, but none of them finished with a conclusive result. I wi…

Does anyone have any recommendations for importing cars from Japan? Thanks!

Can the power-folding side mirrors be removed with the door cards left on? I can leave the triangular backing, if that makes any difference.
