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.

How often do you people just go for a drive? without a destination? Just for the fun of driving? It's very rare i get the urge to just go but took the Zed out today on a 40 mile drive and loved every minute. No where in particular, just a drive along the coast, then through some town centres and back home. Nice and easy. Just cruising, not racing around. Throughly enjoyed it :) Peter

My car has been standing fo a coulple of years now whilst doing engine and tubs ect. So there i was trying to bleed the clutch and i started to get a pedal then went stiff just before pop, No fluid loss but pedal gone. Found that the slave cyliner has seezed and i think the peddal went hard then gone. I took of the slave cylinder of thinking that when i pump the peddal the fluid would pump out.but it just seats in the resivouir. So im thinking i must of poped the clutch master cylinder. Just this sound right. and any idear of a guide to remove master cylinder. Just had a go jesus got the wiring out the way, looks like a right pain job. any guides or better still anyone in…

Just got a quote for chrome powder coating to do my wheels again. £220 for drive in and out same day. Just wondering if thats a good price and has anybody seen chrome powder coating for alloys ? The laquers all went cloudy on my 18's and was thinking powder rather than getting them re pollished and laquered again. Laquer will no doubt eventually tarnish but powder coating doesnt. What you think - polish or powder ?

Some Z32 cars, like mine, have the worn out black covering removed, to reveal a lovely polished aluminium finish, on the windscreen & targa roof side strips. I think this looks great & more in keeping with today's look. Now, has anyone done this to the black & rubber strips, under each side window ? Again, I think this could look very cool. Many new cars, like the Jaguar XJ, have this look. What do you guys think ? Tim

Hi, Thinking of going for some Meister coilovers for my SWB. Seen lots of people on here say they are very good over worn out originals. Mines not doen any miles so wondering if ill see much difference over stock?? Whats best version S or Version R??? Anybody tried both or got any feedback? somewhere it was said about steering vibration in the pillow ball mounts from Version R's is this right??? Cheers

One for the Zed and GTR owners Just wondering: If you attempted to fit an R33 GTR 'pull type' multi plate clutch (mated to a Z32 8 hole flywheel) to a Z32 TT would this work or is the Z32 a 'push type' clutch or has a different sized clutch cover? cheers

Anybody going this weekend? Last weekend was great, olny about 10 cars running :w00t: I'm determined to break into the 12s, shame my new wheels aren't here yet :(

Does anybody in the Teesside area have any logs, pallets etc they want rid off. Running really low on firewood and would be more than happy to remove them for you.....

My stereo sounds a bit tinny and rubbish. The head unit is ok - it's a Sony one a few years old but I still think that's not the problem as it was 200 odd quid when it was new. The speakers are originals in the front and some very nasty cheap ones in the back which I put in when one of the original rear ones stoped working. If I was going to replace the speakers, are the front ones easy to get to? I remember the back ones were easy, just pry the cover off. Any recommendations for speakers? JBL 6x4 seem to be popular from a search for the rears. I don't know anything about speakers and stereos but I'd like it to sound better. I don't want bigger speaker…

car has been standing for 6mths and went to try to start it and it turns over and runs then cuts out has new fuel quarter of a tank any help is aprecIATED

Got a oil temp gauge in my car and nearly all wired up except for the sensor unit itself. There appears to be a blanked off port next to the oil filter that would be ideal however it doesn't screw directly in. Who knows what size adapter I need? An ebay link to the required adapter would really help!
