Just wandering if the deadline for Jae tickets has passed? I always leave things last minute and shouldn't :( Daz

Roses car has 2 different sets of spacers on the front, adding up to about 15mm, but with standard studs. The threads on the nuts and studs are fubarred, so Roses car is once again off the road until we source new studs and nuts :( This is TOO close to JAE and we really need to sort it.

I reckon give it another few years and there will be just a few hundred left on the road. At that point I think the prices should start to go up :clap: http://howmanyleft.co.uk/combined/nissan_300zx virtually none being imported now as well.

looking for an idiots guide to removing the whole air con system,

As per title. I don't want to remove the radiator just to measure it, so was hoping that somebody would know off the top of their heads Length = Height = Depth = cheers

Does anybody know where i can get a full set of fancy engine bolts? I know Z1 do a set but its far from a complete set. There is a company in the states called dress up bolts but their service is crap. I dont think he wants to sell anything. Specifically, i'm after bolts for: CAS Balance tube Throttle body Throttle linkage PAS pot Radiator mount Nose panel mount Battery tie down Intercooler pipe mounts Fuel regulator and dampner Brackets on side of plenum

Just wanted to say hi to you and thanks for the wave. Very nice looking TT from my rear view! Be good if we could have a get together with anyone in and around the Swindon area.

Any ideas as to the best place to look to sort it?:confused1: Thanks in advance.

JAE is not far of now and its a first time for me:biggrin: been to a few shows this side of the Irish Sea and at the most I have seen one other 300zx so I am looking forward to see a large number of zed's and there owners at this show. Most of my traveling will be on the Liverpool ferry (8 hours) I could of gone the Stranraer route or Hollyhead but Liverpool cuts out a lot of driving miles. Have you seen the latest JAE video there is a well known zed at 2.23:thumbup: http://www.japcarclub.com/

Some time ago someone was trying to sell a set of black and burgundy leather seats... can anyone remember who that was please? Thanks Pabs

Driving to work this morning and the car was fine till the carriageway where it accellerated fine through to third popped in to fourth and not much power. Managed to limp to work with a rough and louder car the idling was irregular, initially she'd rev with the clutch in but that worsened. After about 10 mins some but not loads of black smoke from the exhaust. By the time i got to work it was hardly revving or accelerating. Any idea's guy? :no:

Well did a 400 mile round trip today and the car performed really well for its first major outing with the new engine and manual box, what a difference in performance overall compared to my old engine and slush box:w00t: I have a couple of niggles to iron out, but nothing major, so in all very happy. The biggest niggle is the steering rod scoring slightly from the manifolds O2 blank, so need to address that one, probably with a hammer :wink: My rear tyres are unevenly worn, ie the pass rear tread is lower than the drivers side so getting little road/bearing type noise at around 80mph and my exhaust is still touching the rear valance and under body. Im goin…

The first time i took a few hoses off and realised there was so much more to disconnect. Today i tried again and got everything i thought off, then realised theres stuff bolted underneath :ohmy: How am i supposed to get all the underside back on (if i manage to get it off) on the refit. Ive put it all back together again now, but damn. It looks so easy on all the pics with the engine out.

which wheel spacers are best? Hubcentric maybe?? I need some 20 or 25mm but not sure which. I have 18" antera 309's. The front are only 8" wide though. I believe these are ET35. The tyre size is 235/40/18. Link are always brilliant ;)

For some reason consult cable doesn`t work on my dtm remaped ecu ... should it be this way ?

Been looking about for a FMIC and found the Japspeed one Here Anyone using one or had any experience of them?

bit of a strange fault developed and i could do with some advice, just changed the waterpump on my car all now reassembled no leaks etc etc , diconnected the battery during the change and have also changed the temp sensor and the one next to it, i am getting full boost on the gauge but the car just seems less willing and not as quick as before anbody got any ideas what may be wrong , , it is hard to give a real symptom other than less willing to rev etc etc

My gearstick is like a cock in a sock it doesn't spring back into a central position for neutral. Is it likely that the bushes are gone?

hi, im in two minds as to buy a zx N/A i spotted.... this is the description, any help would be great, and thanks in advance guys... Hi here is my nissan 300zx she has a long mot with no advisories,tee top roof so has two glass panels one above each front seat that come out ,but no tax, drives great ,condition good for age ,no rust only been in the country for 4 years, lovely blue alloys with good potenzers ,after market exhaust,veiwing welcome in worthing sussex,only problem she has a nissfire ,all well untill about a month ago when one day started to missfire still drives though,8 have had a garage look at it and they tested the compression ,coil packs and injector cy…

Due to indicated speeds I was entertaining the idea that possibly my car had a N/A diff. But, seeing as my car has HICAS, surely that confirms it is a TT diff? At 4k rpm my speedo shows just under 100mph - which is what lead me to believe that it was a N/A diff. I'm thinking its more likely to be a speedo discrepency? Which means I'm probably going a little quicker than I actually think? Am I right that only the TT diff has HICAS? Cheers

Hi, My mate bought my old na and has developed a water leak, but dont think its coolant as when the engine is warm this water is still cold and water not dropping in the radiator. Its from the front passenger side any idea? cheers mark

been playinng around with my exhausts today and when fitted correctly they will sit smack on the centre of each opening in my demon rear bumper, however after moving them to one side im wondering if it wouldnt look better with two 4" each side as theres plenty of room, Can anyone photoshop this for me please so i can see if its too much thanks here the pic

Managed to have a play around with my Data Scan software today, (once I had finally got it to work) Would someone be good enough to take a look and pass comment please? 3 out of 4 look OK to me,(but what do I know) Just could not figure out the correct port setting for the 4th. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Redwine300 Engine at start up Engine Warm Hicas Port Setting
