Well...sadly my Zed is now SORNED and sitting on my dads drive (wouldn't last long on mine). I have a 2.0 Galant estate which is different, very roomy and comfortable (except for the amazingly high accelerator pedal...my Achilles tendon is an inch longer now!), but it ain't no Zed. Next year the welding begins on the big nightmare hole discovered underneath. http://300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=154249 So wondered if anyone can suggest a MIG welder. I've had a little Oxy-Acetylene welding experience, but that's about it. My dad is buying it, he intends to weld all kinds of thing. Looking at around £250, with the ability to weld larger g…

Hi all, The car has had a PRVR delete and possibly AIV too, I need to have another proper look. Do these pipes look like something that was once attached to those systems? Basically want to get rid of them. Cheers

As the title says really. I am taking the Z to my local garage tomorrow to see how much they want to change the brake fluid. What would be reasonable with fluid?

Hey folks! I´m trying to find these mouldings for my Z, http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?products_id=927 I was wondering if any store or Z performance in the Uk would have them? I checked the Z centre site but no luck..perhaps I am searching wrong place? if anyone could help would appreciate. Thank you!:thumbup1:

Im getting uk clocks fitted to my import later this week. Paying for them to be done as the plugs are all different so getting them all soldered on.. Before I do, is there any way or changing the mileage reading on the new clocks to reflect the cars true mileage?? Cheers

Hi Guys, Ok, so this post was going to be "another Zed back on the road" type thing. It's a long story that I won't bore you with right now, but after six years of sitting in my garage, I've finally got the Zed fixed. Almost... It's had two new turbos, water pump, clutch, engine mounts, cam belt and tensioners. I picked it up a couple of weeks ago and it felt amazing, I felt confident that nothing would let me down as there's nothing left to go wrong. (I know, I know......!) So after about 30 miles, I noticed the temperature gauge quickly rising. Stopped and got it recovered only to find no water in the cooling system. The garage took it back, pressure test…

hi everyone, Doing the suspension and I can't get some of the bolts off. Tried WD40 and extension bars but still no joy. Anyone got any tips on getting them off? It's the tension rod bolts on the bottom arm and the upper camber arm bolt nearest the inner wing that's being a pain in the ass. Cheerz, Rob

How many trade facts are wrong on this add? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1994-Nissan-300-Coupe-2998cc-Petrol-/150676427564?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item231503d32c

Hello, I have changed my standard radiator to after market hi-flow rad. Question is - do i keep original viscous fan (from water pump) or thin fan which came with radiator? (same as in pic). After market one is on electric wiring, where do i connect him? Is he going to be constantly on?

Last night at about 9'ish I was heading back to Hereford from the Abergavenny roundabout when I stopped at the road works traffic lights; they're re-doing some of the main road, anyway the lights turn green so I'm off getting up to 60mph when I hear a horrendous bang at the rear left! After thinking that I'd run over a freakin' cow the zed seemed to handle fine apart from a bit of a buzzing noise from the rear left quarter. Got home alright and took a quick walk around the back of the car, nothing obvious found. Anyway this morning I'm heading back down the same stretch of road and stop at the same set of road works traffic lights; albeit heading in the opposite direction…

Hi guys, What do you reckon on this one, When driving if i put my car say in 3rd while going slow and put my foot down, it starts to build up power but as soon as my turbo gauge hits maximum boost it starts hesitating, popping, and backfiring. It revs fine, then you can watch the turbo gauge build up to it hits the top of the standard gauge,(running 14psi have after market gauge too.)and as soon has it hits full boost the car plays up, But if i rev it normally say hold it in gear its fine, only does it when in a gear where your down low in the revs and try to build up power, Hope that makes sense, Any help appreciated, thank you.

Can anyone recomend a good HID kit please and where to buy. Ive been looking and looking and to be honest my little brain is fryed from the multitude of different kits with such varring prices!:helpsmilie:

Just negotiated this for £995.00, pick it up Saturday, what do you guys think?.....:thumbup1: He is going to take it off ebay for me. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300-ZX-spares-repairs-/330640988141?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4cfbbd17ed#ht_1739wt_1335

Hey there folks put my 19's on today and ive decided they are definatly the ones for the car.... Thanks for all the input i will get a pic up in a bit....

The elerctric window on the drivers door has failed, Ive swapped out the switch for a fully tested one but its not the problem. I'm thinking its the motor. Is it possible to remove the door card with the window stuck in the fully up position???

Hey all, i know most of you aren't into this sort of thing :no:but i'm gonna be down @ the Pod Saturday for DWYB:taz: with me & a couple of mates. Will be skiddin my Fairlady :clap::thumbup1::hyper:& i know Chunk & a couple of others are comin if anyone's up for it? Jamez

Considering the 350Z needed a new battery I didn't hold out much hope for the 20 year old Zed............. However it started on the first turn of the key with no p1ssing about. To say I was amazed is an understatement LOL

Is this repairable/refurb-able? The rest of the clutch is in pretty good shape.....

As per title, are these any good for much over 400 brake? thanks

I'll be getting the same garage that sorted my brakes last week to replace the clutch, it's been slipping for a while now. I was wondering if it would make sense to have the garage swap the OEM flywheel for a lightened one at the same time? What would be a rough labour cost on this? cheers

Had a tailgate tub, dodgy rear spoiler and a shite kit and round LED rear lights. Cheers for nearly wiping my front end out when you decided to floor it on the roundabout and go side ways totally out of control in the wet :cursing::cursing: Do yourself a favour and stick to FWD.

Hi, been seeing a Very Rare - Nissan 300zx Twin Turbo Version-s (from C.Derry), my questions are pretty basic, and if the owner is reading this, sorry due, is this car "Very Rare"?? and is it worth £9K? Rich

I just got these wheels what do you think?? they are as you can see white and will be going on Black 300... they are 19" I dont know if i want to keep them white, Paint them or stick with my original 18" Rays... Lets see a raise of hands??? [/img] [/img]

Morning All, Rather than ask stupid questions you have all been asked a million times i searched and found a very helpful post entitled "buying guide for 300zx". That has gone some way to helping me understand the cars little nuances and expectations. I do however have a couple of quick questions to try to establish whether the car is behaving "Normally". as i have no frame of reference by which to compare it to. Its also worth mentioning that this car has a lot of aftermarket modifications.. all done by Z World in Tamworth according to the extensive service history. A little background for you all. Its a late 1990 Plate, 154k on the c…
