hey guys, anyone seen that nice lookin z, black, high leval spoiler, vented nose panel, mongoose quad exit. in st martains at the top of the hill on gobowen road?

Well, I began with the intention of just swapping the black rubber trim with those off the yellow Zed,... which has now turned into full refurb lol. The paint on them was a little poor but showed no signs of rust coming through, but as I took off the rubber strips I could see signs of rust. So I kept dismantling to the point i thought, stuff it, the metal is coming right out and getting sorted. Neither of them were leaky but when I got right down to it, I'm sure there will have been plenty of big holes in these things a few months down the line. Close up of the not too bad rust hole below on the passenger one that I've already sanded down, but the dri…

OK I know from previous experience the dip beam output on the headlights is pretty crap But to be honest the ones on this Zed seem even worse than the ones on my previous Zed. To the point where the car is no fun at all to drive after dark! In fact on a few occassions I would have to say it is downright dangerous. Half the problem seems to be the beam spends much of it's output lighting the bottom part of the light unit itself! I'm in two minds to fit these Front fibreglass headlights that Zcentre have http://www.zcentre.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.tpl&product_id=213&category_id=61&option=com_virtuemar…

Hi there, I am wondering how to reduce noise in the boot, Im thinking of putting layers of sound proofing either thin layers of insulation or carpet to dull out the noise of the HUGE exhausts.... Has anyone done anything like this or similar?? Cheers :scooter:

Ebaylink removed. LOL, what's with this guy? I love the way he thinks that slagging off the 300zx owners club will make a great impression to someone looking at the add, who will in all honesty, be an enthusiast that knows about 300zx's and not your average Joe. I instantly thought, tosser. Well that was my second thought, my first when I saw the auction for that price made me think 'L O L' I clicked on it some weeks ago and the part where it said 'don't read any further if you can not justify the cost' I closed down the browser and wiped it from my memory as recomended lol. A friend at work was talking about his old Z and I got chatting about mine and…

about a month ago (i think) i took the children and me mrs over to a friends house who i hadn't seen in ages, when i pulled onto his drive the temp gauge on my zed shot up to the redzone, i switched the engine off and could hear the water boiling and being forced into the overflow bottle. Got out of the car and looked, sure enough the overflow was emptying all over his nice clean drive. so had to get the car towed back home. When i finally got the chance to go over it, i refilled the rad and warmed the car up, she started over heating again, not rapidly but enough to know that it wasn't going to stop once it got to 100c, so i switched the engine off, and checked…

Probably been asked a thousand times before but will a LWB bumper fit a SWB? cheers

Thinking of replacing our current main car Audi a3 1.8t with a 350z, anyone got any experience with them. looking to spend up to around 7k as far as i can tell there is only the gt pack as an option and later cars had a bit more power. the rays wheels are a must for me

red with club stickers croydon road beckenham about 15:30 ... was it u ? :)

hey guys, ive just got investment to start my wheel refurbishing and bodyshop business up in nottingham, im gona start by buying a load of wheels of ebay, scratch and curbed, repair them , true them . and then refurbish them, or offer custom paint/finish prior to delivery.and then re sell them, just until i can get marketing going.thinking of offering discount to car club members ;) but i need to know.... the 5 stud wheel that fit the 300zx, will the also fit cars of the like, skylines, scoobies,200sx etc. i know i should know this really, but the last wheel refurb place i worked at, it was all porsche and ferrari lol any info would be a great help. thanks

Took the Zed for its MOT today and all passed:dance:, however found a small leak from the water pump. Is this a DIY job? Is there a 'how to' guide anywhere?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300-ZX-SPARES-REPAIRS-/330647146920?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4cfc1b11a8 Been on for 12 hours and its already had 15 bids, reserve not met at £640. It strikes as though he has people 'bidding it up' then if a genuine buyer puts a bid in he's going to send a second chance offer. Something just isnt adding up, or is it just me lol :huh: Ok its got nice wheels but they are probably damaged, at the end of the day its a knackered bent NA...

I have to say a massive thank you to Jeff and Jamie for excellent work on my Zed and perfect customer service. I picked it up today after serveral bits done and i cant believe what a transformation. It has given it a new lease of life once again thanks for everything regards dave

going cheep, not mine. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/fits-300zx-3-piece-split-rims-wheels-/130601184185?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&hash=item1e686febb9#ht_500wt_1287

As above, on way home tonight I noticed a puff of smoke in the headlights of the car that was close behind as the old girl came on boost.did accelerate quite sharply so am wondering if this is due to the fuelling spiking as it comes on boost and running rich.doesnt smoke any other time and both exhausts are quite sooty, but its like dry soot not oily soot if that makes sense :)

hi, the girlfriends just bought one last wk on an 07 plate and iv gotta say is bloody quick but do you guys reckon it would it beat my 300zx tt manual? she's been trying to wind me up all wk saying how it would beat the zed, i took it out yesterday for the 1st time and it shifts but then they do have 257bhp, i had a corrado g60 celica gt4 and soarer tt prior to the zed and if im honest id say it would beat them all but then again so would the zed so wot do you all reckon and has anyone had any experience with them before? i refuse to be beating by sum mazda hot hatch haha.

So yeah, like a bunch of muppets, we put the drivers window down before we started breaking the car, but not the passenger one. Now we're looking to strip down the passenger door and the window is up, the fuses are all out, battery out, fuse box out etc. So it isn't really a possibility to plug all of that back in, lol. Is it possible somehow to get the window down without taking the door card off and without power? HELP PLEASE :oops: lol Is it acceptable maybe to just cut the connector for the window controller and run 12v across it to open the window, or is the window motor going to blow up? lol

Has anybody seen the adjustable front tension rods on ebay at the moment 37.95,will these do the job? has anybody had any, seem very cheep .I know you get what you pay for sometimes.

Morning all I have the OEM foamy type spoiler on my Zed which I would quite like to remove for a cleaner look. I know how to remove this... im just wondering what im going to be left with after and how easy it will be to fill all the holes etc and any panel gaps that are created. I think there are 6 holes that are created? do these need spot welding or can they be fillered? (I dont want anything to be a bodge) And then do I need a perspex panel for above the rear light panel? All help is greatly appreciated :) (as well as sarcasm :p)

As the title says really. Can't get the door catches off the breaker. The screws are well and truly in there and no matter what I try, they will not come undone. I can't find my impact screw driver either :gun_bandana: anyone removed these, anything I'm missing? Seems so simple with a phillips screw, but they just aint budging.

just seen these on the mighty bay; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-BX-STYLE-FRONT-LIP-SPLITTER-BUMPER-bodykit-body-kit-/350508562792?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D4381736259405314155 nicely done dave, i like these and its been needed for a while. obviously thats janus's old car and marty has changed the front bumber now so has anyone got one fitted to a tt yet? be nice to see some more pics.
