What do you guys think off this then:cool2: Been thinking of selling raffle tickets on here for a £100 quid if I get more then 50 people then the raffle will go ahead, if not you get your money back:cool3: I have not spoke to any mods yet but if this goes ahead I would like the club to hold onto the money not myself, this is to ensure that there is no way of taking money under false pretence [although I am very trustworthy] The tickets can then be sent to you via the club or by myself, the only thing I have yet to fathom out is the "draw" how can this be done fairly so members who have purchased a ticket will not feel like its a fix when the ticket has been…

Hi guys. Anyone using these and have a part number suitable for the Z32 AFM please? I could also use dimensions, I'm going to be using a pair with Doolz and extensions to allow for the FMIC so space is tight behind the front bumper :-\ Where can I purchase them? I've mailed a few suppliers in the UK and USA but without reply - some people really shouldn't be in business!! Cheers H Never mind, just bought a pair on eBay (Japan). :( **Mods - please delete this post**

Just sat down and realised how well engineered these cars are. slight overkill with some tech in my opinion.But still amazing. Just about got everything i need apart from idea for colours,so all's good. But i could do with more knowledge on the na gearbox.Which i'm putting in my tt. Along with diff and rear sub frame. As i believe from past experience ,although not on these cars, that......the diameter of clutch and fly wheel is designed initially to suit the gear ratios and diff. Which is set up for the weight of the vehicle and speeds it's made for. So the point or question i have is that for gains in acceleration or aggression then the na gearbox etc, should be the rig…

..... for sending us his broken Apexi Turbo Timer, so that we can use the fascia off of it for the pod mods, after we believe the dog stole and ate our last one :( lol. Wouldn't let me pay for it, nor pay for postage either, top bloke! Next time we're at a meet or a show, I owe you a beer sir!

For me it was thinking my headunit had packed up. I turned it on to listen to some tunes while I was working in the zed and no sound! Couldn't understand why it wasn't working so I messed about with all the settings, then I noticed something quite important :detective: My speakers are in the garage cos I hadn't put them back in since my repsray :oops: What a tool :death: :lol:

I've come across an unexpected problem, where the hell are you supposed to fit an Accusump in a SWB? It wasn't a problem with a LWB as there's plenty of room behind the seats (and there was no passenger seat anyway) but in the shortie' with both seats fitted, there's bugger all room. There's no room behind the seats as the cage needs to go in there, so the only place that I can see is either in the boot or on the small shelf directly behind the seats, though the braided hoses would need to be rediculously long and surely the Accusump would need to be as close to the engine/sandwich plate as possible Using the shelf would cause other problems in that th…

how bad is this rather than getting married next year the mrs said she wants a zed now!, oh dear i know what im worth!

My car has been off the road 'sorn'ed for the past 6 months sitting on my drive in all weathers but I thought 'bugger the expense' and taxed etc it yesterday. I put the charger on it for an hour then climbed in to start it up thinking that it would take a few turns to fire up but I kid you not it started on the very first revolution of the engine/first spark plug to fire !!!! I left it ticking over for a few minutes as it warmed up and in moments it was purring so smoothly ! I can remember cars from my youth that were a total lottery first thing in the morning ! It's no wonder the Japanese car manufacturers grew to dominate the world like they did ! Happy Z owne…

Hi all, Ive taken a video so hopefully someone can tell me if my new ball joints are fooked or not? Basicly they are brand new and was really stiff..But after taking the hubs to the welders to get them adapted to fit my calipers they came back like what you can see if the video. There is resistance when moving them but nothing like they was when they was originally fitted. Imn guessing the heat of the welding has loosened them up. What do you think? Thanks Dan http://s730.photobucket.com/albums/ww308/baglady000/?action=view&current=VIDEO0073.mp4

i've got an NA diff. it appears to be locked/welded. does anyone recommend or not?

A z i've stripped today for gearbox etc, just so happens to have had uprated suspension. it looks pretty new which is good. they're sustec ,tanabe street gas filled shocks plus springs.not adjustable. i will be using these for my z as mine are very tired [like me!] so anyway i was wondering does anyone know anything about them? please.

Does the NA manual gearbox fit the auto tt?

when I get to 4500 revs and I expect him to launch, I lose power. It feels like I've hit a rev limiter. Turbo problem?? Also, can I use INPA or similar on my zed?

Hi bud I need to get intouch with you Thanks allan

Just messing with my camera, a bit crap but thought i would share :clown:

Got a new one to replace the worn, following the write ups on here of how to remove, http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=92607&highlight=outer+ball+joint i have ground down the bit that used to attach to the hicas arm, and removed the small collar to enable me to whack it through with a socket towards the strut, i have tried a blow torch to heat the hub casing, dont want to hit it with a hammer as its alloy. Bearing in mind its probably been on there since the zed was made, 17 years now............. its toit, toit like a tiger.......... Its now soaking overnight in some plus gas in a plastic bag with a rubber band to seal. Any ideas before i get th…

As some of you know I'm restoring a UK 300zx to original, the car has 45k on it with a full Nissan service history and all paper work to back this up, the cars never been crashed or abused as I know all the previous owners As well. The only none standard parts are the exhausts which is a full stainless system I also have the original system. What's the car worth to sell full done with a pro paint job as well to the standard black it came out of the showroom with? The reason I ask this is not to sell but how much to spend on paint and prep, I have a decision to make!!! Thanks, Daz.

I'm moving to Northampton (got a job there!). I don't know the area at all. Can anyone recommend a garage who would be ok to work on my Zed please? It doesn't have to be a specialits or anything like that, just somewhere competent. One place I took it to in Peterborough for a service changed the spark plugs - but they didn't need changing, they only did four of six and put wrong ones in! That's why I'm after a recommendation for somewhere in / near Northampton please.
