Would just like to say a big thankyou to kinugawa for a superfast delivery and very easy transaction in my purchase of a tt engine. Was delivered in under 24hrs from london to doncaster. And when i stripped it down found it to have been bored out with oversize forged pistons :-).

So the ebayer below, Zeaston 2001 sells Zparts Next a snap shot of their feedback sold an ecu to a buyer lockinggarageservices. So we can see lockinggarageservices also deal in Zparts But here in their feedback Zeaston 2001 purchases a range rover leather seat. So nothing wrong, well of course the two ebayers are the same person closer look at the feedback suggests the purpose is to bid up auction prices, stop parts been sold too cheaply if not enough bidders, or maybe build good feed back. Either way this is is against E-bay rules let alone been dodgy and misleading but worst of all its is a member on here. :no…

Heads up, even some "specialists Z breakers" still get it wrong :no: 300ZX Z32 (1990-95). NON TURBO ENGINE MANAGEMENT ECU http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300ZX-Z32-1990-95-NON-TURBO-ENGINE-MANAGEMENT-ECU-/380365296076?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item588f89d1cc Jeff TT

A rare sighting in my neck of the woods! around 12.45 today, black, low on some nice looking rims

Friday 23rd, approx 11am travelling in the far outside lane north on the M25, red with shiny exhausts, very nice looking car, I said oh dad car like mine there, he said oh what is that doing there? lol - think it was a short wheel base...

hi all I'm on with an engine swap that was only ment to be a head removal. anyway thro a complete lack of planning and bad management and also 2 years since i started I could now do with some pictures of the engine / engine bay to help with locating all of the vac pipes etc and where they should go. I have had a search about and cant find any pics of what i am needing. any help, pics or advice would be great. cheers

Hey lads, lads! Some bloke was talking about my 300, he used to have one. He reckoned it was a good idea to pour some (maybe half a pint?) of clean oil down into each sill as this would stop corrosion. He reckoned there was a good place you could get access just by the rear seat if you pulled the trim back a bit. What do you think? Good idea? Bad idea? Anyone done it? Thanks in advance!

well out in the zed last night and my god its bouncey, got the speed up a little bit and any little bump it was like been on a bouncey castle, think coilovers are the way forward when i sort other things lol. Mark

Yesterday at Oulton Park red and black Z??? Daz.

Had my ECU chipped by John yesterday, he's really knowledgeable and gave me lots of advice. He even came out in the car and set up my boost controller. It's made a nice difference to the car. Cheers John, it was good to meet you.

when I start to push the zed it always seems to crunch into 4th gear. All the other gears appear fine. Any thoughts of what it might be and were to start checking? Cheers

Hi, Just put a new clutch, flywheel and thrust bearing in my zed as the old one was slipping, also changed the crank seal just for good measure but its slipping again any idea? it was ok when the clutch was first changed, only done around 150miles. the car is a standard TT manual. cheers mark

i know its been coverd but im kinda half cut could someone give me a link for the best glue to use im using a sued material thanks

Am rebuilding my engine and need some advice on torque settings. Does anyone have any lists(or guides) there can put on here on as many torque settings as possible to affix both heads, lower plenum, water pipes and oil filter housing. thankyou to anyone that can help.

After months of the thing cluttering up my house finally got round to fitting my single piece prop shaft today. Only problem i noticed was that the new shaft had 2 master splines, where as the gearbox output shaft didn't seem to. Ended up getting it on ok (after lowering the diff) and after getting it all back together pulled it off the lift and the difference was instantly noticeable, the hole car just seemed so much smoother (the centre bearing on the old prop was horrendous, the play on it was unreal). Couple of meters down the road, noticed a reasonably high pitched whining/tapping noise, it was in time to the speed of the car, i.e. didn't increase/decrease with …

I have for some time had fluctuating oil preasure, I am going to take car on a 4 hour drive tomorrow. Oil preasure on start up is just short of half way on standard gauge, then within 5 minutes it is down near 0 on tickover, then back up to about 1/4 then back near 0, it is all over the place. I have checked oil and all seems fine...........WTF is going on I wonder!!!!!

Refused to sell to to Jeremy Clarkson! does write a good advert however £800 for the seats what a mug they are cheapos http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300zx-3-0-N-A-Manual-jap-import-chipped-/260860099497?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3cbc793ba9

300zx wide body gold colour with viper front wings very nice :cool3:

I'm not a mechanic and I'm obviously learning as I go along but is this normal? Turbo #1 looks pretty normal but Turbo #2 doesn't look quite right with this random bolt going through the housing 'but' from the inside! it's clearly a bolt from somewhere else (it's green for one). Surely this should be threaded from 'outside' the housing and not from inside? or am I way off??

sorry mods if this is in the wrong place could somone resizes my sig pic to make it bigger(max size)please cheers

hooked it up earlier, didnt change anything seeing as i didnt really know wot i was doing. over to the experts for an opinion of how it looks

This may be a simple job but I can not see how to remove the headlight unit. I am having trouble adjusting the low beam spots so would like to remove the whole unit so as to see what the problem might be. Can anyone help explain how this is done please?

with the plenium off, are these difficult to remove and paint? i do mean the two under the plenium not the front cover.. i hope Ive used the correct name.

Could anyone tell me whats the best paint to use when painting my covers would i need a plastic primer or heat resistant paint Jim

Seems to be a great deal of difference in pricing, is there really that much difference in quality now?? Seeing as most of the kits look like they have come out of the same factory in china?? Ive seen them from £60 delivered on fleabay £120 from Japspeed and £200 from driftworks Anyone got any opinions or experience or had problems with certain brands?? Cheers craig
