I guess them tyres are 'stretched'? what size do you think, as the ones on my wheels have a flat sidewall (265/35 R18s)... All my suspension arms are adjustable so wouldnt mind trying to achieve the same look with spacers etc. Also, whats going on with the sills, seems much wider? does it have skirts fitted if so which ones?!

For the last couple of months since fitting a greddy turbo timer I have been able to take the key out and the engine will run until the end of the countdown. For some reason I now cant remove the key until the countdown finishes and the engine shuts down, the key will then come out as normal by pressing the little button. Has anyone come across this?

Hi, I'm having trouble getting my z32 running properly and have been told about conzept? Apparently it should tell me the problem. I was wondering if anybody had any info on getting this done where/who ect! Any info will be helpful. Thanks

Something funny here..... Only problem is a clutch slip..... only needs a new clutch plate..... on an Auto ! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300-ZX-TWIN-TURBO-PETROL-CONVERTIBLE-BLACK-SPORT-CAR-BARGAIN-/270861515868?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3f109abc5c

Does is any good? what bhp this pistons are capable ? And how much is cost?

Doing the cam belt on my Zed tonight and changing boost pipes, water pump and pulleys, so after tonight she's 100% mechanically and ready to go. Body work next and a full re-spray over the winter :helpsmilie: and hit the road in the spring, I really can’t wait!!!!!!:yes: Daz.

The Z's been off the road for 16 months and was running fine when last used, now when i start it the engine floods with fuel right away and i end up having to take plugs out to get it going again. It sort of ticks over if i keep it at 1500rpm but as soon as i try to move it just pops bangs and cuts out?? Any ideas chaps? paul.

We bought a Renault Espace a few weeks ago when we decided to break 'The Wasp' because even though I was only driving my son to my mums and back every day, which is just down the road, I was using over £90 a week in fuel in the Z. The Espace hasn't been filled up since the first day we had it, which was 3 weeks ago on Wednesday and the trip computer still reckons there's over 240 miles in the tank, which is awesome. The down side to this of course, is that the Grey Z hasn't been driven for 3 weeks. Granted, we've had it in bits alongside the yellow one, to transfer things like weather strips, interior, dash, etc. etc. so it hasn't exactly been drivable either. …

Do I really need gearbox cooler radiator for my TT or it can be with out that?

Hi all, I've had my 300zx now for a few months and decided about a month ago to change the cone filter at the front as the old one was literally black and had crumpled where I guess the engine had been trying to suck air through a blocked filter. Now she has a lovely new one....but the car now seems to overfuel and drink petrol like it's going out of fashion and when I'm driving and open my window I get a smell of exhaust fumes coming in..:-( it's really frustrating. I'm thinking of cleaning the mass air flow sensor with proper cleaner for the job but any advice I'd gladly receive. I can't even go to my first meeting as it would cost the earth on fuel. Very sad. :hang:

Ok, so I started stripping down the engine out of the WASP tonight, plenum is off and completely stripped, ready for Rose to start polishing it after it's been de-gunked, then it's going for an acid dip and a finish/re-polish by Rose when it comes back. While starting to strip it down, I started to think about a few things and Mikey mentioned earlier tonight, before he moved out :no::cry:, that you can send your crank away to be lightened and balanced, rather than buying an aftermarket one, which is sold as lightened and balanced. Seems to me lightened and balanced is lightened and balanced, so anyone know where one might send it?

MOT ran out yesterday and can't get it done until next monday. No Zedworld bash for me this time round :no:

does anyone know the part number for the perspex strip, plain one with no brakelight?

Just like to say a thankyou to chimp02 (martin) for coming over tonight and helping me sort out the wiring on the zx. Cheers mate. :pint::pint:

any update on the 300zx logos .

Had a day off today due to working late on friday :rockon: Started off by changing the ball joint on the golf ready for MOT... then it was onto the Z's :shifty: Me and mikey bean changed the engine in my TT a few weeks ago, but it was misfiring and making a tapping noise from the top end. I started with the usual suspects and unplugged the coilpack connectors whilst it was running, the first two on the left made no difference to the engine note, so that was a good start! So me and my mate took all the connectors off and cleaned them up along with the coilpacks. Started it up and it runs a treat now, took it up and down the road which felt great, I've not dr…

Hi there all, A friend of my Dads wants one and I have one on my old Zed. How hard is it to remove. The dash is already out and a lot of the ancillaries in the engine bay are out too. Any 'how to' or pics would be epic. Cheers all, Rob

Spent most of the morning sorting out my passenger side targa drain, and decided to change the pipe completely rather than try to stretch it.i put a small steel sleeve in the end so I could attach the rubber piece that goes through the body with a small hose clip so it wont come off again. Biggest headache was the corroded connectors where water had been running on them, a couple broke and needed re-wiring which was a pain as there isnt a lot of room, but at least they should stay nice and dry now. :)
