Was just playing around with Photobucket and was curious if any of these are still banging about. Mainly the 3 Zeds. between 2003 - 2006 I imported, drove a while and then sold about a dozen cars from Japan... these are the nissans. Do these look familiar to anyone?

Hi, looking for a few peoples opinion and bit of advice really as I really can't decide what to do. I've been debating this for a few weeks now as I've just changed career so things are going to be a bit tight for a little while and as much as I hate to admit it running the zed regularly isn't the most sensible thing atm. I've also had to retrain as part of the change so I have the course fee's to pay which atm I'm paying monthly and it's more than affordable I'm not one who likes owing money so if I we're to sell up and get something a little cheaper for a while then I could just pay it straight off. That said while it all makes perfect sense I really haven't…

I've got a spare UK spec rust free LWB shell on one of my drives and I need to shift it before we move house. I was planning on putting it on the trailor and scrapping it but it would be a shame to scrap what is effectively a decent rust free shell. It's had the boot floor pan cut out in order to fit a fuel cell (now removed) so doesn't have a standard fuel tank. It has both doors, stripped and cut back to a single skin and both targas are still fitted. The carbon boot has been sold and the carbon bonnet is now on the SWB, but it has both front and rear subframe/diff + a spare rear subframe and diff which includes the standard prop. I believe Marty is having the TT…

Seen a Silver zed with a bodykit on it on a low loader transist, was in the outside lane as well :detective: 17/2/12 Around 12:30pm

Geez how long has this been up for sale/ 1 year/2year??? looks like a good project. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/nissan-300-zx-twin-turbo-/280824922977?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4162784361

Got turned away by three places today. My car's maybe 3/4" lower than stock and they all said they couldn't get it on their ramp. Any idea where to go? Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys, As the title really, if anyone has any details on brackets or just general do/don't do comments would be really handy. Cheers, Rob

Trying to get Leo's car to idle and it's having none of it, last thing he changed was the spark plugs we have changed them back for the old ones to see if that would make a difference, we have changed ptu for a known working one and it's still doing it, tested the timing and that's ok just seem to splutter then refuse to run tested the Cas and all injectors were clicking away it's kinda got us stumped

my zeds off to the body shop over the next few weeks, and someones just put the idea in my head to respray the whole car... :whistling: now its currently metallic black, but im thinking dark purple, any one know and codes for purples (and pictures would be great) for and solid/ metallic purples, don't really want a pearl.

I've just secured a nice pair of 356mm discs and 8 pot mounting brackets, so I can stick with my current 8 pot setup on the front of the zed (6 pot/356mm rear) so I've got a spare set of uberly' massive ksport 12 pots with 380mm discs, brand new boxed (never opened) Ferodo DS2500 racing pads and braided brake hoses, that have all been fitted but never driven these are the discs (updated pic these are the 380mm discs) I thought I'd gauge interest on here before listing them on ebay, starting price will be at half of retail price new anyone planning on running ridiculous bhp or building a track monster that th…

Just seen it going past macdonalds and KFC

as much as its fun to get the tail out. theres time when you want to move . like when your fightin to keep it straight and a corsa is pulling away! it might be down to the conditions on the roads at the mo, but its just got me wondering about possible gains with traction improvement. since the diff clutch and gearbox plus all the lighter pulley stuff ,i really feel the z power but alot of its wasted through the poor grip. my tyres are 9and 3/4 inch wide all round at present.

Just wondered what the advantages are bypassing the water hoses when removing the plenum as i might tackle this my self as i have heard that most of you seem to be doing this if you haven't already. Would also like to know what to change whilst its off ie gaskets hoses ect..Any advice would be gratefully recieved..:wacko:

As alot of you know its been a long battle with more downs than ups, but its,almost done now. Today i replaced the power steering pump(still very heavy steering) but need to refil fuel so can run engine more and bleed the steering system up more. The engine i got of kjz32(keith) runs sweet. Clutch and gearbox are perfect And today me and my dad got all the lights and interior pods working again, and the horns. I now just need a front tyre, refit front bumper, seal a exhaust joint and replace both hicas arm end bushes and it will be ready for mot. I expect it to fail first time but not on much(hopefully). This will then give me my final list of jobs to…

Hi all, Can anyone suggest what might be the cause of my vibration? I have a UK TT manual converted 300 which I have just fitted the following: HICAS lockout bar all bushes and track rods and ball joints plus a new one piece prop shaft from Jeff at Zedworld. All works fine until I get to about 65mph then I get a nasty vibration which is coming through the divers seat and floor; I have had all the wheels checked and balanced and even put the old ones on just to be sure its not the wheels and it still happens ??? Any help as always gratefully received Marv

Hey guys, got some second hand leather seats for the zed, which were delivered today. I didn't realise they were electric though as my old ones aren't. Does anyone know if it's possible to wire these up or is it too much hassle? I'm not too bothered really, just thought if it's there i might as well use it if i can. Wouldn't know where to start though.

I have a friend of m sisters who works in film and they are looking for 80's cars to use in a film about he stone roses. Set in 1990, tbh unless it's an 89 uk spec in original form then the z32 is a bit new, however (daz...) would anyone who has a z31 be interested in being involved. I think most of the cars would be just used for street dressing I think there would be a small cash payment to cover expenses. Not sure on details as yet but really scouting for interest. :-)

can anyone recommend a uprated fuel filter and where to buy one even if its fleabay help appreciated
