Well just clearing out my garage and found a few bits. These connectors I purchased and completely forgot about, does anyone know what they are for? Also found the toolkit that I think I got with one of my 300zxs, can anyone confirm? https://ibb.co/n0BTMV https://ibb.co/hQGZvq https://ibb.co/hQGZvq Ok never mind seems I can't add pics.

Hi I will be heading south on Tuesday to my parts storage. I have a full set of UK blue glass, it should be in immaculate condition, not sure if I will sell separately depends on demand. I have not had it out for a few years and will have to clean and inspect it before I put up for sell. I had to travel a long way and hire a van when I picked it up, so sorry won’t be sold at a bargain but will be fair price. Many other part will be listed when I get them out. I am lucky my brother has taken pity on my situation with health and car problems, he has lent me the money to buy a nice imported 300 TT, on the understanding everything else I have must go, to pay him ba…

Hey folks, happened that they just installed the new battery, but they removed the plastic stock that´s right on top of the battery the matte black finish one. Well he removed the 2 screws and when i was ready to place them back; the damn screws didn´t fit inside no matter how much time he spent there.It seemed like the screws were passed since they are the stock ones and never been changed... can someone point me where can I buy these tiny black screws that adjust fit the black plastic cover on top of the battery compartment? and what exactly size are they??

It's insurance renewal time so I did the sensible thing by looking at different quotes. My existing insurance is through a broker Higos with Markerstudy policy. Excellent customer service over several years and club discount. Having escaped to IoW, my mileage is less than half what it was, maybe 5,000m with some small business mileage. The traditional classic type firms: Lancaster, Lynbrook, Footman James don't offer business miles. Lynbrook need you to have a classic with them before you can have normal as well. But to my surprise, both Direct Line and Aviva now have no problem with insuring Japanese imports - mine is stock with no mods but it looks as if they woul…

Interesting z on ebay >> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300-3-0-ZX-Targa-3dr-UK-TWIN-TURBO/372479490668?hash=item56b981fa6c:g:fwEAAOSwQwRbz8AG £3,499 for a 1994 L.reg Uk car, in red with leather etc., ok, mileage is high 160k but it is a 24 year old car so actually under the 10k per year thing. So a quick MOT search and the corossion issue has dogged this zed since 2008, when the car was just 14 years old, take a look, now the £3.5k price makes sense>> Date Result Details 01/09/2018 09:36 Pass Mileage: 162,146 miles + 526 miles travelled since last MOT.

Hi all I found out that the check balls and spring lengths in the interlock stoppers differ from year to year. Is there a way to check what year my gearbox came out of like id numbers or tell tale signs Thanks

Hi all Where can you get parts for a tt manual gearbox? Or is there a diagram that shows springs and bearings somewhere. After the spring and bearing that go inside the plug below

As the title suggests really, need some shocker top mounts for all 4 corners. The likes of Euro Car Parts dont do them, but i have not tried Nissan yet, although not holding my breath on them given the age of the car. Found a place in the USA but the shipping is nearly as much as the mounts. Any sources more local to home? Many thanks.

Just spoke with my MOT centre, I am advised that aftermarket HID's are no longer permissible, So, need to return the vehicle to stock bulb configuration, it is a Jap import, so what type of bulb do I need please ??, and what is the very brightest bulb that I could put in place of the HID, Thanks Sayers

Hi all, can someone explain to me what the purpose of a coolant bypass hoses are?

Does anyone know the part numbers of RHD wing mirror glasses? Heated and non-heated number will be great if anyone has them. Joel.

Hey everyone, in preparation for a Z cruise I plan to attend next weekend, I thought I try to clean and detail my engine bay before the event on Sunday the 26th of October. I am pretty happy with the end result and the engine bay is finally looking nice and clean as well as a little shinier too:cool2:. I did have plans to clean my undercarriage and wheel wells too but I just didn't have time today to get all that done along with the engine bay clean. I plan to clean the interior and wash the exterior of the car the day before the event, so my Z can look its best on the day. I used Megiaurs Super degreaser diluted at a 4:1 ratio (heavy duty solution) to clean and degr…

Hi I’m loooking at buying a diff from a 1993 jdm spec auto 300zx . Am I right in thinking this is ar200 diff? And is there any markings on it that I can use to make sure it is a r200? Thanks

From this view you will know if its a LWB or SWB. So what is it ? and why.

I didn't start a for sale thread as I'm still not 100% sure I'm going to sell but I am considering selling my lwb TT manual. Its been my project for the past 5 years. Its had a lot of work done & money spent in that time & has some nice bits on it, meister coilovers, one piece prop, split rims, custom rear lights, stillen lip, new interior from Mondo, Altia door sills just too much to mention. Had a new cambelt & full service with jimmer last month, 11 months mot. Only things that need doing are a bit of paint on the roof & boot lid, possibly a new flywheel soon & the ride is harsh as it's all poly bushed. If I decide to keep it all that will be sorted…

Came to start my zed after sitting for around 3 weeks and sadly the battery is completely flat. The car is no longer my daily or kept where I live so I don't get a chance to start and drive it as often as I should however I have a manual conversion booked for next Friday and will be driving a few hundred miles to get there so was thinking the best solution may be just disconnect the battery and have it hooked up to a trickle charger? I was looking at this as I can't really spare much cash at the moment: https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-accessories/winter-essentials/winter-maintenance/battery-chargers/?549778951&0&cc5_145 Would this do the jo…

Hi guys How do you remove the manual winding nob from a seat? I’d expect the nob to have a cover that pops off but, although I’m not attacking it very hard, this doesn’t seem to be the case. Cheers, Chris. P.S. Si, there’s better ways to earn a living than retriming seats for the 300zx. What a ball ache, there must be at least 100 clips per seat. :cursing:

The weather for Wigan at the moment looks good enough to make a trip north to Wigan this saturday to have a play at Three Sisters . The track is so small and tight that it doesnt really suit my 300Zx but that doesnt stop me having fun. Thats what I built the car for in the first place.:biggrin::biggrin:

Hi all, I have a rattle, noticeable when moving/squeezing either coolant pipes (see vid). So recently: *Car on ramps at the front so radiator cap is the highest point *Leaking radiator removed *Used radiator fitted, new coolant pipes also fitted *Filled with bluecol 2y stuff, 50//50 mix *Left to sit for a day, topped up, ran till at operating temperature with heaters on full blast and nice and hot *Re-topped up *Few days later out to get it test-ran, came back and still had air bubbling in the system as I could heat it gurgling (or water boiling.. :ohmy: ) in the engine itself (not the rad) *Instantly get it up on ramps again, no overheat…

First up, did you know the glass or mirror comes out of the back plate with ease, carefully just push out. So we end up with the door mirror apart and here we have my newly acquired blue tinted ones amongst my spares, sure you can spot which are which !! It became clear a little later in the day but from the pic below notice the left carcass is much thinner, so thin in fact it was weak, there was a tiny bit missing and pretty much crumbling away which led me to doing this 'job'. So with the glass out you can polish right up to the edges, I used G3 paste. Here they are nice and clean :thumbup:. …

Anyone fancy a set of these?

Whilst running a quick Z errand today, I spotted these two lovely machines passing by. Anyone on here? Enjoy.

So you want to restore a 90's JDM legend :yes::yes: http://www.teamimports.com/2017/03/how-much-it-costs-to-buy-and-restore.html

Hi All, was wondering if someone could help me out on selecting engine harness, I am swapping my swapping my current engine, 1993 VG30DE Auto, to an engine which I have bought 1994 VG30DE (this engine comes of a manual transmition), I have seen a wiring harness here https://frsport.com/wiring-specialties-wrs-z32-main-300zx-vg30de-tt-engine-harness-oem-series can someone point out the correct one because I have no idea Thanks Nav

Currently somewhere up over northern England heading to Reykjavik to catch a connecting flight to Cleveland in Ohio. I'm there to pick up a fairly new 370z Nismo owned by the president of the Z Car Club Association of America. Tomorrow will be the long drive down to Atlanta for this year's ZCon and ZNationals double event which should be HUGE. Sadly, Yama San, chief designer of our beloved Z32 who I met at last year's event in Austin has had to pull out, but there's plenty more awesomeness. Nissan have shipped over the only road going version of its awesome R390, a car I saw at Nissan's Heritage Museum near Tokyo back in March. I also belive the GTP ZX-Turbo is also …
