This afternoon on my way to south London I spun the car, don’t know how maybe oil on road, crushed a speed sign post, bounced off a van on the other side of the road. There goes my driving record.

Hello all I want to get soem larger brakes on my TT but dont want to spend too much at the same time. Im not too sure how accurate this is so please correct me if i have the wrong end of the stick here. I know there are kits available with larger calipers and discs, but obviously they cost a fair whack as well. The other (cheaper) option was to upgrade the front calipers to 350z brakes which are apparantly straight bolt on calipers, dont know how true "straight bolt on" is??? The 3rd (cheapest) option was to simply get come brackets to move the existing calipers further up, which then enables bigger discs to go on??? Though im thinking with this…

Just seen this?

Luke was operating his "Z Centre" business before the Z32 was even launched. Here is an advert from 1988!!

A feature I did on this popular Midlands group meeting place when 300ZXs were more plentiful. Taken from an old Z club magazine.

Since I have a spare manifold and throttle bodies which I'm cleaned up and refurbishing, I've decided to get the stock throttle body intake ports enlarged with larger butterflies similar to the modification that Rob Bastian (RobZ) was doing for people a while back. I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with this modification, I believe 54mm is the largest you can go to in stock throttle bodies (originally 50mm). Can anyone confirm whether this is the max or can they go any larger?

hey guys just wanted to ask has anyone every bleed the abs module after bleeding all for calipers during a standard brake bleed as the fsm states in the braking section? just wanting opinions if you should do it or not really.

When you get a fuel smell in the engine bay it's always the little hoses buried in the middle that are to blame!:thumbup1: Why is it never the easy ones ??:lol: Im gonna change them all as Andrew G told me off about the state of the one near the fuel filter a few weeks ago:tt2:

Hi all, The sagas continue.. After sorting out all the corroded relays in the drivers footwell fusebox and not using the car for a few weeks, the drivers window now doesn't open. Passenger opens/closes fine. The window switch works, and I've read the posts about the amplifier/relay black box at the bottom right of the door panel. I have the exact same sound as the vid here. No motors turning or grinding. So I can hear the contacts clicking when I press the up/down switch, and can see them clicking now I've taken the black cover off. I didn't see any broken solder contacts (pic below), but I resoldered and cleaned up all the connections at the…

Went to this guys house, he had 3 300zxs there for breaking and also a load of Mitsubishi gtos there. Anyway I bought the interior off him seemed nice enough when I went to fit it into my car I realised I needed the rear seatbelts and some other bits to get the door cards on, so I text him and he said no problem £40 posted. I paid him by bank transfer as it’s such a small amount of cash and the fact I’d met him in person. He even told me about his disabled sister he looks after and that he brought the first r33 gtr into the uk (he’s actually the third person who’s said that to me but I just nodded and looked impressed) I don’t know what’s wrong with people somet…

I dont think so Car Throttle :sneaky2: https://www.carthrottle.com/post/five-japanese-legends-that-were-too-complex-for-their-own-good/?fbclid=IwAR1M8XkkPMPrTHRmxLAQQD8MOkf6KC3YGBuiNB9-MelHPJMiKHuSUZlKp2c

does anyone knows what is the price now for the veilside evolution exhaust?

I have tried to remove the plastic cover to get to removing the interior rear view mirror .... but for the life of me, couldn't figure how it comes off (if it does). The 300ZX (1990) Nissan Service Maunal has nothing about removing the interior mirror. I'm sure it's an easy thing to do, and there must be some trick to it without ruining the headliner material or mirror cover piece. I will appreciate any advice or photos showing how to get the entire mirror removed. Thank you. 1990 300ZX 2+2 - 62,000 miles - No Winters!

Hi Everyone these are probably stupid questions but I have found that there are two braid covered cables that go from the Catalytic converters through the transmission tunnel floor underneath the car have been chopped off with presumably wire cutters, and are just hanging underneath the car, Q1 : what purpose should they serve ? Q2 : Is it a problem that they have been cut Q3 :Is it possible to repair them ie: join them back together and if so how Real novice question I know but would appreciate some help I have also noticed that the bits of plastic either side at the front that attach to the front bumper are badly smashed what would they…

I fear I'm acctually going to have to buy some of that UV dye for this job. My radiator will not fill up past 3/4 way, air bubbles stop it going any further - so the simple answer is there's a bloody great leak, and I guess the point it stops filling is at the very bottom of the top rad hose. I'm not sure if this is a common issue, but where am I likely to find the leak as I can't see where it's coming from out the bottom of the engine (again, this has me panicking it's making it's way down a cylinder bore). I'm going to be busy taking my thermostat off later as the car slightly overheated before I went back to Bulgaria, and I'm hoping to god this is the reason and n…

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
