As title really If I remember correctly 'Monster' used to run a twin oil cooler setup on his 600bhp track zed, but at what stage would running a twin oil cooler setup be appropriate? Assuming a road going car that's driven hard at several track days per year muchas gracias, por favor

So what was your 300zx highlight of 2011? Mine would have to be JAE so many Z's and lots of new friends

Hi Guys, Om my 300zx TT Jap Import. I have 3 buttons. For the Auto gearbox 1. Is an over ride - Do you ride with this off or on? If I remember correctly if off the light comes on the dash. Does that save fuel? 2 I have Power/hold button. So you can click it to Hold or Power or Central for off. Any ideas. 3 I then have one other button near the gearbox, No details on this - Its to the right of the gear stick and has a light on it - when pressed on ... No idea what it does and as far as I am aware is Off. On average about 200 miles to a tank is this about right? am not moaning about fuel consumption but would like to see if I should be gett…

And i would prefer to be recomended as i would like other bits done after. hope someone can help me out pls...

Disclaimer: This is meant tongue in cheek, so please don't any mods get the idea I'm stirring trouble, I'm trying to have a laugh, albeit at a couple of mods in particular expense, hopefully that's allowed, if not :( shame I've been thinking about buying a new Android device, now I can't make my mind up which to buy. I think it's a choice between the Galaxy S II, the Sony Xperia and the Galaxy Note, what do you all think? Please note, whilst I haven't specified this in my description, I do not under any circumstances want anyone to slate Android or recommend anything from Apple, my mind is completely closed to all alternatives to Android, because I may never hav…

Hi all, Does anyone have the details on the size, threads and type of bolts that are used to fit the gearbox. Or does anyone have a set forsale? Thanks Dan

hey everyone, can anyone point me in th right direction for a guide for the removal and refitment of the handbrake cables please. ive adjusted at the wheels and refurbed the shoes. and its at full adjustment at the lever, so im thinkin its gotta be the cables. cheers guys

About 11:00am yesterday, saw a black zed driving down Belgrave Road towards the city, did not get a good look, but saw it had the 300zx decals on the doors.

i have a clunk when i turn the steering wheel full lock to the right, only does it at very low speed, i have adjustable tension rods and ive had a good look, nothing looks like its shifting (no scrap marks at the bolts) no splits in the metal or anything around that area, so kinda just need pointing in places of what to look at. all the bushes look good. so its a case of "eh?"

This is the steering wheel we are looking to get for the zed. Nicely black and silver so should go very well with everything else I am doing to the car with the interior mods so far. It will be a pop off wheel. What I am not sure about is how it is going to look 'through'/surrounding the wheel. The center of this steering wheel is so much smaller than the standard setup, and the housing behind has a very large hole. I'm concerned that you can see into the plastic surround / the gap inside, once this is fitted. I'll pop a pic up of what I mean: I know plenty have replaced their standard steering wheel with an aftermarket one so wondered if anyone…

Hi all, Has anybody a pic or drawing on how the linkages go back together? I took apart the drivers side apart (the part with the return springs) for cleaning, took pics but the wife deleted them!!!!!!!!!! Any help as I can't remember the order it goes back in. Cheers, Rob

here ya go buddy but as you said 300zx

So, washed the car yesterday ready for its polished and did the inside of the wheels arches, Please note i have no wheel arch liners. Once the car was all nice and clean, i turned my wipers on only to be faced with them staying on when the wiper control was moved to the OFF position on the pod. For a quick fix i unplugged the white box that controls the timing functions on the car (kick plate near the fuse box in the drivers foot well, ill up load with photos in a bit) So onto the diagnosis. Having read quite a bit on the forum, but with no definitive answer other than "change the white box" from various sources. i figured it couldn't be this, as it…

wonder if anyone can help every now and again i get like a loud humming noise when i accelerate it doesnt happen all the time and if i back off the throttle it stops right away, id say once out of every 7 or 8 days i drive it it had the crank seal done a few days ago and therefore had fresh gearbox oil and the old stuff was cherry red not burnt and black so im thinking diff but cant be sure as it doesnt do it very often anyone else had similar problems?

Hi there does anyone know the part number/price of polybushes to replace the silicon filled Tension arm bushes?? Cheers Guys :tooth:

As above looks like iam going to break it in a couple of weeks but will buy another at some point, leather interior sold, car is standard but has good engine. cheers Mark

My vert is having a rest for the winter and all wrapped up in the garage, warm and dry, so I decided to get the TT out and blow some cobwebs from her and enjoy some power again :biggrin:...but Holy shit!!! I forgot how quick she was!!! the sound of the tubs spinning and the acceleration is awesome, whooooo!! Anyway a couple of problems i have that i have asked before but forgot how to fix 1. My lights are on full beam all the time when i turn the lights knob, when I press the brake pedal the brake lights appear and full beam goes off?? when light knob is off and I press brake pedal the side lights illuminte?? wierd? 2. Brakes are crap, I have big brembos on th…

Hi Z mates. Is there anyone i can talk to about organising a drive the lights night on blackpool promenade, i own a sea front hotel near the tower and last illuminations all manor of jap car owner clubs were there and they looked very impressive, but alas no Z's. I think that a line of Z's in convoy along the prom would be ace, i have spoken about it before and i would also like to invite any meets to be held at my hotel, would any commitee member like to get in touch and go on from there. regards big mo

on the Adrian flux ad in the top right corner is a white Z with what appears to be "bolt on" arches, where can I get these?? Thanks guys

I bought an (auto) 300zx Twin Turbo with a gearbox fault. It is meant to be running 400bhp? I doubt this but it cannot stretch its legs due to no final drive! When I bought it 1st to 2nd was very difficult. I looked at the transmission fluid which was non-existant - now it is topped up to the right level 1st to 2nd is easy although a bit sluggish. 3rd does not exist? which is the problem! Has anyone have any ideas? Swapping gearbox ECU Swapping Gearbox or any other suggestion HELP! don't want to be defeated by changing gearbox if I can help it as that looks like an engine out mission Thanks David (Newbie)

Thanks to 300zx-666 this is what my zed looks like now I much prefer it now,lol:taz:

hey, saw a grey Z today at cheshire oaks, midleval spoiler thats all i saw

Evening all Just noticed that one of my exhausts makes a tshhhhst sound when I let off the gas. I've only tested on idle as you can't tell when driving. I build some revs and let go and between like 1500-1000 it makes the noise. Deffo not from the engine bay. It's got full decats fitted etc. Any ideas?
