Following on from an earlier thread about turbo damage due to low oil pressure after an owner changed his turbo`s, started all good but 600 miles later ... total disaster http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=157837 So here are the oily bits, Damage to the intake impellor due to failed bearing leading to excess shaft movement, exhaust turbine can be seen covered in oil due to rear seal failure after the bearing overheated. All refurbed and looking spanky, such a shame it will be not be viewable!! A little under £400 and with all new parts and 12 months warranty so not too bad, now whe…

If o2 sensors disconnected how it would affect driving ?

I've owned my Z, shame I haven't driven it for the last 5 though! lol This is the year though, it will be back on the road!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I hope)

This a long Title but did not know how to put it . I have had my auto just over a month now. But i find i sit in it for say 5mins and pull away it ok around town just in low gear. But when i get on to the local A road Which is say 3mins away it like driving with a sliped clutch for about 3 to 4 miles then ok.

Just thought as it is so random id share. Got a knock on the front door Sunday morning. My sheepish looking next door neighbour, asked me to come outside..... Once outside i was greeted by the unusual site of a 12ft trampoline embedded into the front of my z :( :( not a happy chap as you can imagine. Basically becuase he had not taken it down, it had somersaulted down his garden over his fence and landed on my car. In the process denting the bonnet, the centre panel and near side wing. He said hes going to claim through his house insurance and ive asked Jeff to do me a quote for the repair and respray as i know it will be done right. I rekon w…

I been trying to unscrew this and is snapped . What is the best thing to do, I heard that is not really necessaries, should I just block the holes? Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Just a quick question on Skyline gtr parts, Which parts are interchangeable with 300zx parts? I know brakes can be used, but what about suspension, turbo's etc?? Also by this i mean to upgrade rather than like for like. Cheers in advance

The Zedworld Team managed to sort my Zed out good and proper on Friday. Car runs brilliantly now and sounds superb. definitely worth the drive. So a big Thanks To Jeff, Jamie and Lynda for all there help. And also a big thanks to Mark, picked up the sub box he built for me before Christmas on my drive back home. The build quality is flawless, can't wait to get it fitted hopefully one day this week. So big Thanks to them and for the forum.....

Hi does anyone know the length of the starter motor bolt as I don't want to fit 1 that is to long and it ends up touching the flywheel. Or does anyone have a spare 1 kicking around? Thanks Dan

what are the various take offs on the tree for, some time back i noticed my oil cooler had been disconnected and im starting to wonder if i put it back right. i did look on the manual and that didnt seem to help.... its all a bit not comlicated but messy down there.

I parked up in the same apartment block as you were :p Mine might have been out of sight though.

Not my Zed, my sisters Daewoo Matiz. Yesterday i changed the front pads on my sisters car and thought as a precaution i'd bleed the brakes too....oh how i wish i hadnt! The problem i'm having is there is NOTHING coming out, no air, no brake fluid, nothing! Pump the pedal and it goes straight to the floor with very little resistance. I've tried everything i can think of. First i tried only bleeding the front calipers, then as that didnt work, tried bleeding them all in sequence, furthest from master cylinder to the closest, no joy. I even tried attaching a hand pump (that sucks) to the bleeding hose to try and suck the fluid out and nothing!! Theres no leaks in…

Is the auto master cylinder (what eva ya call it) on the bulkhead the same as a manual one????

how common is it for a 1990 300zx model mileage having 43000 on the clock, can it be genuine or should alarm bells start ringing. cheer

The top of my dash, along the front edge of the vent, is lifting and I was wandering if anyone has come up with a solution that doesnt involve removing the dash.i was thinking along the lines of a plate the same shape as the vent that would screw onto it with an overlap that sits on top of the dash and will pull the lifted section down as its screws down. Anyone done anything similar?

Andy has got his spot on at the front As have a few others. How do you get it to look like this without rubbing. Do you remove the wheel arch liner? if so whats behind that can collect crap and rust etc. or would you just waxoil all behind it?? More pics would be cool if you have any :)

hey folk, got my car ready for MOT tomorrow. shes been stood for 5 months needing various bits, but i think im on top of them all :-) but as i was letting her get up to teperature on the drive, i noticed the boost gauge is dead. is there afuse or simple plug i can check? i know it was working when i replaced the BMC as i had to check which vacci hose ran to the gauge. but now theres no movement and the needle sits at the far left as if the ignition was off all the time. any ideas? cheers

has anyone got wiring diagram for 300zx tt auto that shows wiring from the two plugs that are located behind drivers headlight and run to auto trans? please...

A friend came to help me jump start the Zed as the batter is flat. Unfortunately he put the leads on the wrong way on his van. Result was smoke from the fuse box. Pulled the cables and removed the fuse but where do I get a replacement from ? Its the one furthest from the fuel pump. Mine is blue with a loop of thick wire on top. The wire has melted. Hopefully that is all that its done. Does anyone have a spare ? I really need to get it going for tomorrow.
