took out a prop from a auto tt lwb today, we have a manual tt swb prop that came with the conversion, now from what i have been reading the rear section is the bit that is different in size but when we put them next to each other the rear prop sections are the same length??? obviously the front half is different size but the original auto one is shorter.... will it fit?

THIS HAS NOW BEEN WON BY SIR CHARLES!!!Please Remember i am limiting this to TWO guess per person! Prize winner will get a set of "Nissan Fairlady Z" and "TWIN TURBO", stickers to go on the spoiler and a couple of wing mirror decals. Will be posted out on friday when guess is correct "if you get it by then!" I am currently driving a 1995 Toyota Celica 2.0 Auto 170bhp(when New!!) I fitted a apexi timer which i got for my 300, just to see how fast the 0-60mph was!, please bare in mind this car is totally standard!, no airfilters, exhaust and still got standard 16" wheels on! it has a nice little feature that records my 0-60 time!, so …

does any 1 have a picture of a manual box showing what each plugs job is ? i figure one is the speed sensor the one near the gear stick is the reverse switch but what is the other plug ?

They're from the 350Z (Some special edition). Anyone fitted them to their Z32? Or has anyone got any for sale?

Looking to completely isolate the rear lights (tail lights, brake lights and number plate if not all). The plan is to flick a switch in the front while driving that will just cut all of them out. I'm thinking they must all just have a main ground wire terminated onto the bodywork somewhere, if I cut that the lights should go out. I can't find anything like that for the life of me! Anyone out there tried doing similar and can point me in the right direction or anyone know these cars back to front, inside out and upside down that can help? I'm an electrician so no replies talking to me like a 4 year old. answers on a postcard to theusual address.

Have done a search but cant find much....... A couple of times since the weekend my 'power' light has flashed 16 times when I turn the ignition on and the box appears to be pulling off in second gear, as it seems to require more revs than normal to get the old girl going.Has anyone else had this problem and know a possible cause?. I am changing the box for a manual shortly, but dont really want any problems between now and then.any help or advice appreciated :)

When choosing a clutch you need to ensure your covering the performance requirements, your driving style and cost of course, however cost can sometime get in the way of making clear decisions, information, research and recommendations are the way forward. We all like a bargain but you need to be careful that any clutch you buy is matched so that all of the components work together as one unit. Below are the results of a mismatched clutch, removed today in the workshop from a zed with little in the way of drive when under power but amazingly what appeared to be complete drive at lower speeds. The 4 puck clutch plate has very hard ceramic splinter pads that a…

As the title says really..... Occasionally when I decide to give it a boot full on a motorway for example I can be doing 70, foot all the the way down. It'll kick down and usually go through that gear and without any warning part way through the next gear it just cuts all power. Bit as if I've all of a sudden plonked it in to neutral. No noises or smoke or anything.... It's a 91 tt auto import. Running 14 psi with usual stage 1 mods. Any ideas? Like I say, there's no hesitation apart from occasionally on full throttle.

I have been having poor starting issues for a while now and i discovered yesterday that my S2 ptu wires had found there way to the alternator belt and the green and orange wire had worn through and was touching each other. Anyway I cut and re soldered the wires thinking I would solve my poor starting problem. However i still have the same poor starting as before. My question is with the 2 wires touching could i of fryed/screwed the PTU up or is there other things that would be causing my poor starting. Thanks

Silver 300zx, about 8:30pm 'ish, a couple of miles before the J21 Weston-Super-Mare junction. Parked on hard shoulder, hazards flashing :( Didn't realise till I had sped past, hope its nothing serious.

Hello som1 of u guys can tell me N/A and TT LWB and SWB have same rear brake discs?

Would somebody take a look at this link and tell me what they think I'm looking at secondhand clutch options here, and if this works I can get a full triple plate for less than Exedy quoted today for replacement plates http://forums.nicoclub.com/gtr-z32-transmission-comparison-t280171.html ie. RB26 OS Giken triple plate onto a Z32 TT and want to know exactly what the issues would be, I lost track reading the thread above?

Have been thinking about changing the suspesion arms etc front and rear for Driftworks kit and was wondering if this is the way to go.......or whether to fit uprated bushes in the existing (standard) suspension components?. Which would be more cost effective in terms of actual purchase price and ease of fitment? (i would imagine bush kits are cheaper, but take longer to fit).The car is for road use with maybe to odd track day (maybe) :)

Hi all, Has anyone relocated the battery to the boot? If so what guage cables did you use? I understand the longer the distance the bigger the guage should be. Also how many cables did you run to what locations etc. Thanks Dan

Just thought I'd let u all know that I'll be back in a zed within 3 hours..WOOHOO!!

Anyone know the best place to purchase genuine nismo gear? I'd quite like a strengthened clutch pivot ball from a known source and also an uprated g'box mount. Anyone purchased these from a UK supplier?

Hi does anyone have any experience with wastgate adjust ? I bought new turbos the pe1420 and I am not sure about actuator setting I will be running around 18 PSI, an Power enterprise web page is said that is comes with 14PSI spring in. But I dont know how much I need to adjust to get right setting to work on 18psi turbo boost.

Im getting a cable and serial to USB converter to connect it to my laptop. Im planning on getting them from eBay unless anyone has one they want to sell? Does anyone have a link to download Datascan as all the ones i've found are dead? Cheers:thumbup1:

Ok does any one have any Pics of both turbos together as i needed to send some off to be copyed ( clocked )... and i have just looked and they both seem to be the same so looks like i got duped on ebay .. lol

after fitting my new rear lights and as phutumsch pointed out the center panel looks a little out of place with the style of the rest so what im thinking about is can you get a plain fibre glass middle section? if so id like to mod it to have these in it in the same places as they are on the standard panel then have a blacked out oval recessed section where the 300zx is on the standard panel that lights up with 300zx when the lights are on. does that sound stupid? should i just stick with the standard one?

anyone on here live in or near andover ,ive had 3 zeds now and never see any others in or around my area ,maybe no one can afford to run them round here,

well after spending 4yrs and almost 17k on my zed its time to hang the coat up and call it a day. In the last mon ive fitted 2engines in it and both have been no good. Unfortunatley now ive not got the time or money left to redo it all again. So will be taking it back out this weekend and start stripping the car. In the past ive had a house broken into and burnt to the ground and that was nowhere near as upsetting as this decision has made me. So watch out as the parts start coming up for offers.
