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.

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?

I had some spare time to work on my z so i changed heater matrix, s2 heating controls, new dash, uk clocks.... the problem is that speedo doesn`t work but not always. when u start the car power steering does work but no speedo and then after 5 min driving power steering doesn`t work... after another 15 min power steering works and so speedo and from now ant then speedo and power steering doesn`t work... faulty clocks ?

IS this guy is stupid ? Selling car for this low price ????? bigger brake, 555cc injector, rebuild everything .... £2,500 ono ????? WTF ? http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/nissan-300zx-tt-manual/92584176

Just repairing some electrical issues with the old Z and needed some better information: does anyone know which connector the horn is located on in this pic? also on other pictures i have seen, there is a black connector next to the big brown connector. Am i missing some wiring? Does the water pipe for the targer come in around this area, i cant find the pipe cheers

Looks nice, but not sure where it goes......... Anyone know? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NICE-1990S-NISSON-300ZX-TURBO-TRUNK-LIGHT-BAR-FOUR-REAR-PINS-/230720933715?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35b80a0f53 Alz.

ive decided bearing on budjet that its best to get the car to a certain standard things that i have on my list have been dropped in favour of others. as im working on a budjet ive tried to streamline to cut costs. for example my car does not need side skirts or a spanking iced out interoir. but theres something thats a hurdle for me. the air con. ive never known weather it just needs regassing or weather its fubared or what. the project is at a fork where this is concerned. because if it dosent work because its fubar and needs x spent on it it can go. il pull it straight out save some weight and simply the engine bay. but along with this comes the thought process …

Ive had my swb since 2005 and the exhaust has had been welded several times for mot it a trust system its not very noisey .Can any one recomend a simulaur system for a swb and where to get one maybe hks-veilside -blitz -apexi etc thanks taff.

Guys, The previous owner of my Z had it down at Zedworld not long back and is pretty certain they told him the car had an aftermarket ECU. I've contacted Jeff to see if they've recorded any details on their job sheet etc but he's not come back to me yet and so being the impatient type i pulled it out tonight to have a look. There's nothing obvious to me but thought i'd post some pics so that you experts can see if you can confirm whether or not it's aftermarket? Any idea what the little adjust-y thing is with the japanese sticker around it? Also, in the last pic what would that black connector plug go in to?

Was a little bored after putting the little ones to bed tonight, so went out to see where i could start on the Z. A little bit of pulling, and tugging and hey presto.... Wiper and spoiler gone :whistling: Can't get over the weight of that spoiler!

Hey guys, Any instructions on how to get a door window out?? From what I can think, 1) door trim off, 2) bolt in A pillar and then maybe 2 on the mechanism lifting the window.. Or is there more to it?? Kind wishes, Zee..:)
