I remember there being a detailed labeled picture of the under bonnet but i can't seem to find it now. some nice cheep red ones in zcentre was thinking of buying just to bulk up the order so that i'm not just getting a clutch hose. but the picture doesn't look familiar.

Thankfully its sunny, as my drivers window is down and wont go back up :cursing: !! Reading previous posts i understand it's likely to be a little black box in the drivers door. So does anyone have one of these badboys handy for me to snap up? Then to add to the fun and games :crying:- having replaced the passenger door, that window on the passenger door does not work at all. so im guessing it could be a number of things - wires leading to window motor, the motor itself, window switch?

do gtr springs fit on the 300 shocks or is it only the complete coilovers that work?

I have a Grid boost contoller fitted and last night I disconnected it to move it, and now it appears to have lost its settings as the boost is now a lot lower than it was. Does anyone know how I reset it?. the controller was already fitted and I have no manual for it and can find one on the internet.

Parked up at Willen Lake last night (Wednesday). Fellow wakeboarder?

Hi everyone, Was looking at the outter hicas joints for a 300zx on ebay, And just noticed theirs a guy selling them for £20 buy it now, obviously their pattern parts but have a 1 year warranty, what do you guys reckon worth a try, or leave them well alone, Thank you.

Hi all, I was hoping someone may be able to guide me on this one. Recently I've got my Zed back on the road and frankly loving it again. Well apart from the bl**dy autobox. I had always planned to convert it and have a manual donor car sat waiting, but for now the auto has got to stay. If I could get it working properly it would be great. Basically in normal operation everything is fine, the gear changes are smooth. Overdrive button works, power and hold switches seem to do things!?! Dunno whether they're correct things or not? Anyway whenever you bury your foot into the carpet the revs rise to about 6500 rpm and then seem to bounce like its on the li…

Hya, Sick now, clutch slipped replaced it and fly wheel was fine for a little bit then started slipping again so tonight replaced the slave cyilnder and guess what trying to bleeding it and noticed fluid coming into car under behind pedals so is this a broke master cyilnder now? dont know wether to fix it or just break it for parts as the rear arches and sills need doing as well:-( car is even worse than before can not get a gear now so parked on the street. Cheers Mark

Planning some upgrades for over winter and want to know what else needs to be replaced if I update to Jwt camshafts? Engine is already forged etc but can I just drop cams in or do other top end parts also need replacing? Cheers

Real quick on this... Does a 110mph speedo de-restrict a Jap import or do I need the 160 / 180 type? (I think 110mph id the 180K/m type maybe?) Cheers Steve

Seems to have disappered from here, like 3or 4 days now Cheerz

has any one seen this on ebay *ILLUMINATED 300ZX REAR CENTRE REVERSE LIGHT PANEL STRIP NISSAN FAIRLADY Z ZED* Item number: 130578638436 just wondered what was the general thought on the idea

K reg Silver Convertible on Ainsdale beach, Southport 1pm ish Common as muck these verts :wink:

Need to get my Z back on the road for next summer so looking around for a trimmer. How much are decent cow hides as one guy I met last week reckoned he would need £1500 up front to cover the cost of materials :wacko: Apart from the hides, replacement foam and thread, I can't see any other materials or am I missing something???? Vijay

just incase you might be a member. have seen you a couple of times you have the stick on quad lights :blushing:

Just wondered as i havent been on for ages would like to see some pictures aswell please :flowers:

....we me as his owner. Just thought I'd let people know that the Z passed with flying colours, the only thing was headlight aim! Not bad for a 16 year old car! It makes me very chuffed! Just a quick question, the car's now done 61,000 miles. Time for timing belt change....The car is pretty slick and going well, so should I do the half parts change or go the whole hog and do all water pumps, etc etc...Advice please? Cheers, Adam

Its just one thing after another.. Car mad a sound as it was tried to tbe started and then after that all that happens is all the dash lights go out and you get a load of wuring sounds from the car. Not like a grinding gear. More electrical interference. It carrys on for a while even with the ignition off. It sounds like the starter motor might be the noise and maybe the solinoid is shorting. the car bumpstarts fine and drove fine (Until the alternator belt through its self. Ill get on to that) So the RAC came out and said the earth has a high resistance and although is a bit better is not great. Could it be just this or is it still gonna be the starter???…

I have the kit and the car but still not sure if i wanna go for it or not. I am taking out the forged tt lump with headgasket failure and fitting a new little 500bhp unit :rockon: but shall i wide arch it at the same time.Also has anyone got a wide arch with a 99 spec front ? thanks :thumbup:

The place that is going to map my car told me that I had to remove the apexi safcII because there would be a problem with nistune ånd safcII. Is this true? If it is how do I change to Doolz with 2 maf sensors in nistune?

We've just put my engine back together after doing the upper and lower plenums and the car is running better than ever before, super smooth and sounds much much happier (There were air leaks in the plenum, because of missing threads, hence the need for a change of plenum), but now I have my stalling problem back. Obviously my TPS and AAIV are now way out from where Jeff set them at JAE (Thanks again for that Jeff) and I'm back to stalling at junctions and roundabouts and things :( If anyone near Doncaster has one (I'm happy to drive a reasonable distance to get to you) I'd really appreciate borrowing it for half an hour to set the car back up :D

hi gang, I'm after a bit of alternator advice. I have stripped my alternator to have the casing powder coated. I've had to drill out the bearing. I thought it would make sense to have the alternator reconned. Does anybody know anywhere that will do this? Or, is there anywhere that sells reconned 300zx alternators? Hopefully I could send down the casing and they will send back a lovely shiny alternator. :) Or, can I buy a recon kit? Thanks
