Nice looking white zed northbound on M1 in the contra flow around Luton south. From the quick look i had (going other way on a coach to London) it looked really nice and tidy.

Hi no tail lights today but brake lights still work,I have been looking up possible causes and tail light sensor comes up.I have searched and cant find any sensor,i have 99 lookalikes.Any ideas thanks.

Im looking to fit UK instruments to my 97 TT. I think they went from analogue to digital instruments on the later models, maybe even the last UK ones. My model; year they dropped the boost guage for some bizarre reason, anyone know how i can wire this if i manage the uk dials? Question is, does anyone know what UK clocks will fit my car, or can i just change the speedo, rather than the whole instrument cluster? Sure someones done it, or the wiring mods? Cheers Matt

Hi guys, After fitting all the suspension bits I decided to finish a job I started.... remove all the old speaker cables. Came across this metal box (below). As you can see its fed direct from the ECU and ends up at a toggle switch. The switch was behind the panel under the steering wheel. I've toggled it and nothing happens. I have a thing about wiring so want rid of it. Cheers, Rob

Probably not the best way to repair a peeling dash but it's what I've got. There are broken pegs all over, and I have to watch out if I walk past incase one fires off at me lol At least it's easier out of the car. Getting the main lifted area was quite straight forward, I'm attaching the very edge now to try to get pinned down perfection :)

evening All, As most of you know ive only very recently purchased m 1990 Z32 Uk Manual TT. After noticing a strange kind of chirping sound (LOL not the dump valves before someone says :tt2:) it happens worse when cold and goes after 3000 revs. Now it sounds a bit like air escaping or fluttering through a pipe etc, but i dont seem to have any compression issues best i can tell and almost completely goes when the engine is warm...... Anything to worry about do you think?? Second thing is, im about to do an oil change so i thought id jack her up and see what size sump nut etc and a general whats what.... I had previously noticed an oil smell…

Is there any difference with a n/a or a TT steering rack?????? I have took off the rear steer and all the pipe work, i was going to change the steering rack cus of the pipes that com off for the rear steer. So i just want to no if a n/a rack is different with it not been a rear steer??

I finallt decided myself to get some Tein SS for my Z; will buy them from Uk instead of U.S.A. to avoid customs; is there any online stores you guys could recommend me to buy them from in mainland? I really appreciate it. Thax m8´s

Does have one, how does it work ? and How I can connect program to change setting of wheels dimensions and something more?

Does anyone know if anyone has transplanted a 200sx 2.0ltr turbo into a Z32 or how difficult a task it would be.

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

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???
