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 ? :)

Right place your bets and have a stab at the cause really peed of with the car now cut a short story even shorter engine was missfiring took out spark plugs and number five is wet with oil :angry: looked down the bore oil :angry: I await your comments I think I know whats happened :cry:

Is there a pipe diagram of some kind? (to fit all engine pipes - vacum hoses, water, turbos etc)? I just want to check that its all in right places... Cheers TT/94

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.

Was it you???

Wideband Premium 52mm Air Fuel Ratio kit-Amber/White thought it would be usefull with tweaked engine .. but what side to fitted to ? O/S Bank ? N/S Bank ? all so exhaust temp gauge all ready have Oil P oil T Boost http://prosportgauges.com/wideband-air-fuel-ratio-kit-Amber/White.aspx

Can anyone tell me what this little chap is? Got no idea, Cheers

Where do you all source your aftermarket fogs lights from? I need to get a pair for the fronts but they're an awkwards oval shape and not sure where to start looking (aside from Halfords!) Thanks in advance Vig

seen various larger disc options with relocation brackets to fit standard calipers. is it worth/beneficial to upgrade to larger front discs whilst retaining the standard calipers. i was thinking something like 345mm drilled and grooved discs, but my aim is to improve braking force/ stopping power. would be good to hear from people with bigger discs...... as they have experienced the change. thanks in advance

I love my 300zx, and i have put over 1000 hours into it. Alas, the alure of the origional z's is getting to me. 240z is out of my budget by a long shot. Was wondering if i could direct fit 240z tail light section into the 260z? Also if there was anything to be wary of. Here is the one i'm looking at: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/cars/nissan/auction-422328737.htm Any input greatly appreciated guys.
