Did anyone else who bought the '300ZX' inserts from Smithy have a go at fitting them anywhere? I did mine today, quite happy with them, obviously no where near as good as the proper ones, but still look good, no pics of them lit up yet as I need a couple of inverters, any body got a couple? Here ya go...

I got some suspension arms that came off a zed (fitted but never driven) and the camber arms look like the driftworks R33 ones, I've had a search and I've seen SPL ones like these listed for z32 (but that could even have been a standard photo they use for camber arms regardless of fitment) does anyone else have camber arms like mine on their zed? Mine are this style - http://www.driftworks.com/shop/car-parts/suspension/adjustable-arms/driftworks-adjustable-arms/driftworks-camber-arms-s14-s15-r33.html Instead of - http://www.driftworks.com/shop/car-parts/suspension/adjustable-arms/driftworks-adjustable-arms/driftworks-camber-arms-s13-r32-z32.html

Hey guys, My zed is going to have its suspension geometry set up tomorrow. I was just wondering what degree camber and toe everyone is running? Front and rear please Thanks

My 300 stallled this morning. I'd only driven a few hundred yards and was waiting at traffic lights. When I tried to pull away it stalled (it's an auto, NA). I started it again, it started fine but stalled again when I tried to drive off. And again. I started it again and gave it a load of revs to clear it. It backfired (not too hard) as I did this. Then as I tried to pull away again, it was fine. I did stall a few weeks ago too. Any idea what's wrong? I'm guessing something electrical as it backfired. Any idea what to do? I guess spray some WD40 type stuff and make sure the coil packs are firmly down on the plugs but maybe it's something mor…

Just spotted this on the German Ebay site, Not mine, but might be of interest to someone as the seller states he/she will ship worldwide. http://www.ebay.de/itm/RC-1-10-Tamiya-TA-02-NISSAN-300ZX-IMSA-GTS-58144-Top-Raritat-Selten-RAR-/320839232659?pt=RC_Modellbau&hash=item4ab3822c93 :)

Hi does N/A and TT fuelling system is different, fuel pump or anything else ?

Well it's been a while since i've been zedding, I had to shelve the V8 project last May after hitting £18k on the budget and having major problem with the rockers/oil flow and i've ummed and arred what to do about it the past 6/7 months and finally decided at xmas to call it a day and break it for parts. I was going to put the TT lump from rigs' car in and turn it into a TT but after spending ages trying to get the engine out in the first place i remembered how much i hated working on TT engine bays so sold that all off. Then i smashed in the front of the silver car which is still off the road until me and dad have the time to repair all the wings and bumper. …

need some advice with insurance please... Phoned peter flux and they want £579 to insure a import TT which seems alot to me.. Would peeps say theres a big difference between uk and import models? its putting me off buying a car i wana put a deposit on today.

:helpsmilie::helpsmilie: Silly question but how do you tell the difference between the twin turbo auto box and the N/A. I have an N/A and I'm convinced I was sold a Twinny box as the gearing seems to change a lot higher than the one I had previously. It's too late to change it now as its been on the car for a while now as it was sitting around but I have a feeling I may have been conned but not sure :cursing: And would it do any lasting damage :confused1::confused1: .

Strange requist I know but as with most motor manufacturers,Nissan must use generic parts through out there range.This will include the 300zx ,so there must be parts on the zx that cross over from other models in the range, and I am trying to compile a list of these parts that will cross over from all through out the Nissan range that can fit the 300xz,for instance the heater matrix from the P10 Primera,will fit the zx,there has to be more items. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it Many Thanks in advance

can anyone give the facts as to the risks and purpose of using those jet thingys on the z?

You ever blown up a zed? I blew up Harby's today on the way home lol

Anyone willing to travel to Pontypool/Newport area to help with wiring the TT engine into the 200sx track car??? I know it's a long shot but could do with a hand if anyone good with electrics, I know it's a long shot but really need a hand!! I have 300 loom so it's just identifying the fuel pump, power feeds etc.. Any help greatly appreciated, some beer tokens and all the tea/bacon sarnies you can eat. Even have a spare room if your travelling a distance and a great local pub 100yds away!!

hi all, was some one looking for a adaptor kit for a 6-speed trany to z32...! here the link http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/news.asp The 350Z & Infiniti G came with a very strong 6-Speed transmission that is starting to show up more and more at the auto recyclers, making for a reasonably priced option for other high-powered Nissans. Unfortunately, it sports an integrated bell housing, making this conversion difficult at best. By scrounging an automatic tranny bell housing from an automatic that was fitted to the same motor you are adapting to, this adaptor ties everything together. Either the 07+ 350Z Concentric Release Bearing or an aftermarket C.R.C. (Tilton…

Has your 300 ever been mentioned on other fourms? When I first went on to the RMS site (N.I. CAR FOURM)I found a post about my black 300zx so almost10 months later from the first post I replied:biggrin: http://www.reallymeansounds.com/forum/threads/stunning-nissan-300zx-near-saintfield-road.82022/

I have just started to dismantle my rear light assemblies, hoping to fit new outer lenses to my original bulb housings. Can anyone help me with finding the re usable rubber type sealant that was originally used, or something similar, I think I will need several attempts before I get it right so I am looking for the sort of sealant that can be re worked with a little heat.

Where are the bolts holding the re circs in place? I've got the top small hose and the big hose but im havin probs with the clamp holding the bottom hose on. The recircs must be bolted somewhere because no matter how much force i use to try and prize it off the bottom hose it will not budge. Please help me before I start putting fist shaped holes through my windscreen :thumbdown:

A huge thankyou to kieth who drove all the way from wales to doncaster today to deliver me my free engine. Was great to meet you and your son today. And your kindness is what the very essence of this club is for. Top man. So again thankyou matey. Cheers Dave.

Guys, Having a wee issue with my hicas. My car runs the later fully electronic system. I have tried to enter the diagnostic mode for the hicas (turn engine on turn steering wheel left and right 5 times and press brake pedal 5 times) and no matter how many times i try, it will not enter the HICAS mode. A this point the hicas light should come on, and turning the steering wheel activates the hicas whilst stationary. (the hicas light will not come on, in order for me to continue into the next part of the diagnostic where it does the self check) Has any one else had issues getting into the hicas diagnostic. I managed it ok on my first zed, but not this one. …

does anyone breaking non turbo or just have n/a prop shaft i need for my conversion.

Can i go bigger than the 245 45 16 tyres?what size would you recomend.
