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…

ok guys, ive got a set of godspeed tension rods and to be honest im sure they do the job. however today i was going to start cleaning them up and thought i could do better than that so im going to. so the question is, money no object what are the best tension rods out there. so far the winner is moonface. any other suggestions? once ive found what i like and added a bit of my own design in ill make a set. might do a few other suspension bits too

I see you all the time, and occasionally you are behind/infront of me on my way to work. I am driving the black MR2, or just stood at the side of the road gaping in awe after work. Is it......... You? -points-

I bought a Blitz AF Meter a few weeks back from Dino (japandyno) in Japan. He told me that I would need a second one as the zed usually runs two AFRs and sensors. I've not been able to find another secondhand Blitz one for decent money so when I spotted these 'Multi checkers' from APEXi and JECS I figured that I might be able to utilise them as the second AFR along with their other functions (shift light etc) I bought the JECS one from Dino and the APEXi version from another company Japan, they seem to have some pretty good functions so I snapped them up. Does anybody have experience with either of these systems? Here's some info: The A'PEX-i Multi-…

hi ive a uk spec zed with the sideloghts in the front is it possible to convert it to jdm spec with the lights in the side and front fogs

Looks like it had been spun and damaged the off side front corner and near side rear corner looked like it was damaged, on a K plate. :-(

sorry for crap picture, was very black lol!

hey guys,took my new z to get mot'd today, omg. i dunno bout you guys but wen i sell a car im as honest as i possibly can be, the guy i swapped my bmw for sed it shouldnt need much. im learning my lesson for bein to trusting and nieve. i had to abandon the mot, it failed before he had even lifted it up, which i didnt mind, i expected it to fail, i just wanted to know where to start. but so far this is what im aware of, it needs 2x 255/35 19'' tyres due to sidewall damage, new bulbs in the headlights, although i checked them and there not blown but like a chrome colour bulb? ill just get new white ones and check the wires. the side repeaters are non standard a…

The story so far.:sweatdrop: Added Wynn's coolant flush and have clocked up a couple of hundred miles, time to drain the system and fill with 50/50 antifreeze I thought. Only problem is, every time I drop the coolant out it still froths up with the remains of flusher in it!! :taz:It must be the fourth time now and still not clear.:confused1: I have looked at draining the block but I can not see that being possible with the engine in. Even tried attaching a low pressure hose to the top engine pipe and left it running for hours and still no joy. It just seems to be only flushing the radiator. Aaaarrgh. I have gone to the trouble of buying top of the range an…

Hi, I know everyones proabably covered this to death especially Yowser, but im gonna ask anyways.:thumbup1: Looking to get my Z upto speed after being in storage sometime. Its totally stock SWB TT with about 15K on the clock. Im looking for the best coilover setup for SWB, can anyone give me some pointers please? I was trying to go the JDM route with some HKS Hypermax II's if i can get them/afford them, but I see things have moved on since these were in. Im gonna be doing fast road and odd trackday, so looking for the best of both worlds if their out there, seen alot of the following mentioned. what everyones thoughts on these, what you got/recommen…

Hi everyone, This week is suspension week LOL. I have a set of KYB AGX shocks with Eibach springs, DW front and rear upper camber arms and front tension rods to go on. With a 20mm drop from the shocks is this going to drastically adjust the settings from standard? I.e. do I set all the arms to standard length or can I add in a turn or 2 on the threads to get them in the ball part before going for full laser alignment? On the front camber arms do the longer side go towards the front or rear of the car. How tight should the locking nuts be on all the arms, I've seen that they can break if overtightened. I think thats it for now LOL. Will add p…

On a Japanese import is it true i can have a smaller front numberplate.¿ i am getting a new one today and the smaller the better i think (plate wise ) thanks
