hi all im planing on a manual conversion and was wondering what clutch is gonna best suit the car, after the conversion im planning on getting the car mapped by fc tuning so im thinking the car should be around the 370hp mark any ideas/recomendations? cheers Nick

Some of you know that I bought Steve Mochan's engine a while back. Well I have stipped most of it down and so far it's all good :balloon: Over the winter I will be getting a competent engine builder to put this all back together, but for now I just want to check to see what I have got for my money and to clean and prep what I can to save a few £££'s. (Not that I didn't trust Steve, more the guy who assembled it) Okay don't have a clue guys but any idea what does this this means on top the piston? They are apparently Wiseco pistons (oversized) also on the under side of the piston is the number 343v I think. The camshafts are Tomie 260 degree camsh…

It's taken me two years to get to this stage but the car's finally going off for it's paint job tomorrow :dance: Can't wait to see what she looks like when I get her back.

Well it will soon be time for the car to hibernate over the winter, like to keep my cars off the road to keep them in good nick. Unfortunately my lockup is currently leaking like mad, thus creating a damp atmosphere which is not good. Some of the trim at the door just at the bottom of the window looks to already be suffering due to the damp storage. Can anyone suggest ways to keep the car drier, I'm trying to plug the leaks but what else can I do to keep the car as perfect as possible? Cheers, Daz.

Hi Guys, What Oil do some of you run? Im just wondering what the best is to put in the Z31 with the DOHC engine. Alvin LMM

Hi guys im on the scrounge. My car has been off the road for the past month with a idle fault and now ive got a misfire. Ive checked all coils and changed plugs. Ive got a spare known good coil which ive tried and theres no spark coming from it when i attach a plug to the end. its on cylinder 6. What i need is a loan of a ptu to try to see if it sorts the problem so i can rule it out. Im in the glasgow area and i dont mind travelling to pick it up.

I've got two lengths of this hose that were attached to a Greddy oil catch tank. It looks to be re-enforced but I just wanted to confirm if you guys think it's suitable to use for a short length of oil cooler hose. Basically the ARC cooler is coming off the shortie' and is going back on the LWB as I've just bought a rather large Calsonic oil cooler for it The new cooler doesn't have the usual AN connectors, but the connectors on these hoses would fit nicely any suggestions?

Whilst ive got it all apart thought i might just put some breather filters and a catch tank on, if its beneficial ofcourse. Do people run them on these cars or is it a bit pointless? Mark

does anyone have the wires and white connector as show in the first three pictures, i need them as lost mine and need the horn . http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=307011

Orange Zed @ Neverfield Nott's ( Mc'd/Morrisons ) seen you there racing your zed and trying to drift it like the rest .. lol that was kinda bizy night plenty to see

After picking my Z up, I've had a little play and found some problems with it; * Turbo whine when hot only - I tried mid temperature and it didn't make any noise at all * Speedometer not working at times, then it comes back to life intermittantly * Power steering going heavy and HICAS light coming on - been told it could be down to the auto gearbox sensor being damp - common problem? * No rear fog lamp - how easy is it to rewire one into the centre light panel? I also have a couple of switches, one which looks like a damper and another on the gearbox (not on the lever itself), and I'd just like to know what they're for. Thanks, Rachel.
