Hi. Does anyone know the route of the wiring to the washer bottle pumps. I'm looking to tap into it, but need to know where I can best access it. Ta Sayers

Hi all. I have to remove my HID lights for its mot. Ideally I want Led lights. Question is, what do I fit to a jap import. Anyone on here have experience??? Ta Sayers

Wanting everyone's thoughts. Should I do the roof bars black or leave them body coloured? I'm completely in 2 minds as I like break up of the black (windows and targas) but then when I look at some to the cars that have done his, I like them too.

Where is the best place to get the replacement metal rear arches from and how much are we talking?

Hi guys Does anyone know what the part number (S) i need for the auto box filters 1992 n/a ?

just dropping in to say hi to all, its been a long time since I've been on here. Lots has changed for me recently but all for the better. My daughter was born a few months ago and the three of us are now moving back to the UK in December so im going to have a bit more time to get out in the 300 and come to some meets. The 300 hasn't moved in a year so its going to need some attention. To celebrate this I decided to treat myself to a zed related present. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C836820 Bring on the OCD restoration part 2

A huge thanks again to Ian for making this year's display so bloomin' awesome, thanks to Craig and co. for all the organising, thanks to all the exhibitors and everyone that managed to visit us over the weekend. More great memories forged with these cracking machines and some truly wonderful people. Enjoy.

Right guys and girls, I need some help diagnosing an ‘unusual’ fault with my Zed. The issue is that when breaking (e.g. coming to a stop at traffic lights) the revs drop to the point where the car cuts out. This is also noticeable when shifting from neutral to reverse (automatic) as shown in the attached video. [video=youtube_share;Q5uJ3az3pLc] The rest of the time it seems to run fine although I’ve noticed that if I’m coasting along and lightly touch the throttle, the revs drop down (below 500rpm) before climbing as I press on the accelerator. So far I’ve have a vacuum leak test and there’s no air leaks. Also had the codes checked which returned a c…

Now I appreciate some things are great for spares but this is a step too far and only a give away or the buyer pays a nominal. 38 bucks, glws !! :confused1:. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-NISSAN-300ZX-CRUISE-CONTROL-DEFROST-DIMMING-FOG-LIGHT-SWITCH-BUTTON-KNOB-OE/143011905183?hash=item214c2c7e9f:g:wP4AAOSwi-db6tCQ:rk:98:pf:0

Well now I have them.... any advice on fitting them and setting them up for height and preload? Let alone setting up the EDFC? This could be fun as I have always had OE setup.... and never fitted anything adjustable.... Do I set them up the same length as OE ones? Or do I have to do them individually / front and rear and check ride height? Any advice or experience welcomed.....

Well the measuring, template making and cutting out has begun... This morning I have hit the rusty hole area with my trusty wire brush attached to the MAKITA drill.... I finally found some solid metal to fix to and painted everything with some messy Rustins rust converter, including right inside the sill where there was some surface rust hiding inside. Templates cut out ready for transferring to some sheet steel... I shall be fabricating the repair panels later today at my work... I need to use the bench vice and I left my sheet steel and tin snips there... lol I will update the thread when they are cut out and folded properly later or tomorrow!

thread to capture some show pics. day 1 stand build all done thanks to Ian and his team, ready for the cars to turn up tomorrow

Any Autumn pics of your Z ?

Hi, everyone I am a new member and just starting the journey towards hopefully owning a 300zx.(32) So, please bear with me, if my questions seem somewhat basic! I would appreciate some feed back on the merits of the manual and auto boxes. Is one more reliable than the other? Is there a real performance drop off, if you go the auto route? I would guess that the auto box is kinder to the whole transmission/rear suspension - correct? Also, regarding the twin turbo or naturally aspirated. Is the NA performance adequate? Are there differences in chassis cabin spec etc between the 2 models. Does the TT offer a better investment potential? Any advice wou…

……Just a little taster - all will be revealed in good time...…:wink:

Iv had the car apart since the respray fixing various issues and finally can see the light at the end but have only one problem left and i cant figure out what im doing wrong. Car is a 1990 Jap Import Have a Clifford alarm installed and for years the central locking worked fine. All of a sudden the passenger side door lock does not work but the drivers side does. Have the door cards off and there is a solenoid attached on drivers side, all fine.... passenger side door does not, have checked the Standard actuators and they receive power and work fine. Cannot figure out what's wrong, it doesn't seem to receive any signal from the drivers side, is t…

Anyone know how good these are?

The process to clean up and freshen up the appearance of the top end of my engine has begun. Prior to fitting a new OEM 95+ harness, 740cc injectors and BDE VTC cam gears, I have gotten hold of a bunch of spare odds and sods to get refinished. My engine is pretty clean anyway but as the entire top end is being stripped down, I thought it high time to make everything totally fresh and new-looking before reassembly. I've just picked up these from the vapour blaster, they're going straight to the powder coaters tomorrow to be done OEM finish, well, apart from the outer rocker covers as they're a natural alloy finish and I'll be doing those a satin silver just for s…

Hi all, With great sadness I have to announce that once again I cannot attend the NEC show this year. Unfortunately due to a few last minute issues my zed is not currently drivable to the event. Up untill this morning the plan was to attend and bring the zed down on a trailer but my insurance company has now informed me that they never received documentation and proof of value so they still haven't issued my agreed valuation certificate. Its a big risk on my part transporting my zed with no proper insurance in place. I've came so close but the list of items needing done is bigger than the two days left to do it all in. So wishing all the …

Good morning everyone, Recent owner of an 1992 NA manual Z32, I am currently facing gearbox damage issues : after repeatedly hearing loud rattling noises in 2nd and especially in 4th gear, we decided to open up the GB and check what was going on inside. Sadly (see pictures below), we saw that many parts were badly damaged. Does any of you faced something similar, and know what could be the reason of such an abusive wearing ? For information, my Z is a 1992 SWB NA of 130000 km, freshly imported from Japan this year. This has been spotted right on arrival. Clutch is new already. What would be your advice for the next step ? would you rather either : - g…

Need jet washing but other than that they don't look bad...…….oh and you get a Clifford remote start alarm thrown in - if I've read right that is :surrender::mad::whistling:. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/nissan-300-zx-fairlady-twin-turbo-t-bar/223217780069?hash=item33f8d10565:g:stYAAOSw5Qtb33~E:rk:1:pf:0

Right then, the symptoms are, I can hear the washer pump motor whirring away for the front wind screen washers when activated, but no water coming out of the jets, washer fluid bottle is full, jets are unblocked, So im guessing the impellor on the motor has had its chips, Nothing at all happens when I activate the rear screen wiper, ( well the wiper wipes, but no water sprays out) no whirring of motor etc etc, So what do you chaps think is wrong, and , can anyone supply me with a new tank with known good motors please, Thanks Sayers
