Hi All. I'm swapping some bits from my old engine to new. I've found a few posts about installing the dipstick tube but nothing about removal?? Is it just a push fit? Any tips for getting it out without damaging it? Tips on installation would also be appreciated. BTW the engine is out of the vehicle. Cheers H

Right Engine is prtty much ready to go back in this week, im just tidying up the last of the engine bay, But just wondering, When I deleted my Aircon and and removed the ac rad etc I left the Aux fan in place, is it worth removing or can I wiring this up for extra cooling for the rad?? not that I should need it. What do you guys think or had anyone else had probs caused by removing this?? Cheers Craig

Thought you guys might be interested in what we found with Brillomaster`s engine after its untimely failure, as you can see from the picture there is a series of nasty dents in the sump from the inside out!! that will spoil your day every time. Jeff TT

And his pump is making the noise like its got an air lock. any ideas? it was working fine before the engine came out.

Anyone ever fitted the bigger 200sx throttlebodies to a 300?

Now, ive always felt, that buying from a forum member, is like buying from a brother, or a close friend. I take every word they say, as gospel. Sometimes, i dont even ask what it is im buying, i just know, that if he/she is selling, i want to buy it... Imagine my horror, after buying from Ian (vodkashots for those who dont know Ian. Watch out for him!!) i decovered its not what i was expecting.. After taking the car out today, i noticed it was lacking in power. Ian told me is was running boost jets, a decat exhaust, and Geddy ECU. I expect it to be fast as f**k, and to be honest, on the 1/4 miles test drive i took in 12.4 seconds, it did feel fast. Well, af…

My zed has developed an idle problem when stationary. The vehicle always starts but sometimes idles ok and at others the idle dies away but rarely stalls. If the accelerator is depressed/feathered then it appears to bog down and tries to stall unless its then left to idle again. When idle dies it can restart immediately and continue driving. The car drives fine once going (under load). In the last 3mths its had a new knock sensor, new alternator, timing belt, cam belt, power steering belt, air con belt, new plenum gasket, all injector seals replaced, clutch pedal repair & improvement, new spark plugs, Thermostat, new IACV air regulator, heater matrix,…

This post is history

Right then.. Engine is out if my zed, as is half the loom, the battery, the battery terminals erc... How do i get the ELECTRIC drivers seat to go forward to get it out??? Got the front 2 nuts off, but the back 2 are undee the seat!!!

we got home today from the maternity unit after only 12 days ! 30 min before we were due to leave a local photographer came in to take our picture which should be in the Ayrshire post baby section either next week or two weeks time. Well the thing is my wife Bernadette just happened to be wearing one of the red club polo shirts which can be clearly seen in the picture taken. How's that for promoting the club ! Hopefully I'll get a copy soon and post it up for all to see !

Anyone know where i can get one to snug the car away with? fed up of cleaning the dust off in the garage.

Trying out a new local painter, so far so good. :whistling:

Near Bath junction east bound on Friday about 5.30

Hi i want to respray my zed how do i get its original colour code is it on the car anywhere?

Spotted a Red 300zx on the Tippethill road heading towards Armadale at approx 3.45pm, Had a black nose cone. Looked rather nice on the move, anyone on here??

Small world or what, was talking with a mate who has a breaker yard in Birmingham and he mentioned a zed they had in so thought I take a look and surprise its an old forum zed and has a Zedworld cambelt sticker on to boot! Sure you guys will recognise it....well before the damage that is, the shiney bits had already gone from the engine...to guys here I understand, you know who you are you lucky devil, got a bargain.
