Just bought another Zed TT lwb auto black with leather no mot or tax ...electrics issue since an attempted theft.... Collect on Saturday and will post pics to see if anyone knows it.

Do the above items advertised on 'ebay' fit both UK and JDM models? Ad says UK/Euro only and may not fit import models, is there a difference in indicators? Cheers!

What is the forum opinions on these injectors.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370496223532?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Cheerz, Alz.

seem to have a airlock on my drivers side turbo bypass water pipe, when the cars up to temp and you switch the ignition off, you can hear it bubbling any ideas how to get it cleared. i cant take the pipe off and fill with water as all it does is leak out of the pipe it connects too.

I'm just curious, has anyone fitted a different internal mirror to the normal zed one??

any one know the part number for a powersteering belt 1995 N/a mine just took a hissy fit and snapped cheers

Hi Guys, are any of you having problems with your hid`s flickering? I had just one side that kept flickering a few months back, but now both are flickering soon after lights on and then they just go off!! If I turn the switch off and then back on again then they do the same thing, ....light up...flicker for a few seconds... then go out :(((, yes they were cheap e-bay jobbies,. but only 12 months ish old any fixes i can do? , or anywhere i can buy spare ballasts?(if that is the problem) Cheerz Daz

Been away for a while, just seeing how many N/A owners still exist. There used to be around 10-20. Raise ur hands:gun_bandana:

Hi All my water pump decided to eat itself at the weekend so it needs replacing. ive dropped it at a garage to do that I know as I spent ALL weekend on it putting divorced downpipes on n full japspeed stuff back. he has said itll be - 120 labour 68 for pump and 15-20 for belt. All sounds about right to me I just wanted to check. I would usually do this but I REALLY cant be bothered especially with the state my hands are in from doing the driver side top bolts on the turbo elbows. gotta be a bloody contortionist to do em!!

Hey, can anyone tell me if these will these be fine in an NA? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-x-NGK-PLATINUM-PLUGS-NISSAN-300ZX-3-0-90-PFR6B-11C-/250402525471?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a4d27511f Cheers!

Hey, Has anyone bought one (or two I should say) of these on Ebay? If so, how loud are they? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-200SX-300ZX-UNIVERSAL-BACK-BOX-EXHAUST-27-/150657020960?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2313dbb420 I imagine they're probably the same Db as what I already have on. Thanks!!

right stripped the plenum off again, to sort a water pipe out that came off. coincidentally the std clamps don't work too well on silicon hoses lol. found a few t clamps so sorted that but their is another air leak i found just before i stripped it back, its down the rear of the engine where the egr is....? right i've replaced the hose on the egr, its not that, when i took it apart i check the plenum gasket( not that) i cant see any other air pipes down there what could it be its really confusing me, anyone know of anything else down their could cause a leak? can hear it when driving (especially as the turbos spoil up) did a boost test using the space save…

Hi, Anyone else using a central 20 ecu, I have one fitted and was playing about with car today, Took it up the road [private] and it revs to just under 9000rpm and was just under 90mph in second gear:shock: Wont be reving that high anymore sounds horrible, Take it they remove all rev limiters on this chip, Anyone else have any info on what else they do to them, The chip seems to make a lot of differance in performance, even without raising boost it seems to rev and respond a lot better to the standard one, When i Put the standard ecu back in it feels more sluggish and not as smooth, Anyone know what psi i could roughly run with this …

just saw this on ebay. Worth a read! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3984Q2em1423Q2el2649QQitemZ250879626673QQsspagenameZSTRKQ3aMEWAXQ3aIT

Hi all, I carried out a cold, dry compression test on my TT tonight, seeing as I was replacing the spark plugs anyway. The front two cylinders gave about 110 to 113 psi The middle two cylinders gave about 96 psi And the rearmost cylinders were better at about 120 psi Not great figures but the car runs well, boosts well and has only just started giving me a rough idle until it warms up. 94,000 on the clock and it appears to have been reasonably well looked after. Looking at previous forum posts on compression test results, I was expecting a better set of results than I attained.......:huh: Mind you, this is a borrowed compression gauge and I ca…

I know it's been discussed in loads of other threads but I'm struggling with mine. I've undone the lock nut on the pedal side of the clutch booster and I need to unwind the fork a bit to raise the pedal up a bit. Manual and searches say to adjust the rod lenght by turning it with a pair of pliers. How do you do this? I can get pliers on it but there's no room to move them when you do! at the rate I'm going it'll be about 10 years before I've moved it enough:blink:. Does anyone have any tips to make this easier? Clutch works fine but the biting point is about an inch off the floor. lol

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/
