Hi all, With great sadness I have to announce that once again I cannot attend the NEC show this year. Unfortunately due to a few last minute issues my zed is not currently drivable to the event. Up untill this morning the plan was to attend and bring the zed down on a trailer but my insurance company has now informed me that they never received documentation and proof of value so they still haven't issued my agreed valuation certificate. Its a big risk on my part transporting my zed with no proper insurance in place. I've came so close but the list of items needing done is bigger than the two days left to do it all in. So wishing all the …

Good morning everyone, Recent owner of an 1992 NA manual Z32, I am currently facing gearbox damage issues : after repeatedly hearing loud rattling noises in 2nd and especially in 4th gear, we decided to open up the GB and check what was going on inside. Sadly (see pictures below), we saw that many parts were badly damaged. Does any of you faced something similar, and know what could be the reason of such an abusive wearing ? For information, my Z is a 1992 SWB NA of 130000 km, freshly imported from Japan this year. This has been spotted right on arrival. Clutch is new already. What would be your advice for the next step ? would you rather either : - g…

Need jet washing but other than that they don't look bad...…….oh and you get a Clifford remote start alarm thrown in - if I've read right that is :surrender::mad::whistling:. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/nissan-300-zx-fairlady-twin-turbo-t-bar/223217780069?hash=item33f8d10565:g:stYAAOSw5Qtb33~E:rk:1:pf:0

Stumbled across these, they look nice: UK Manual with 75k miles for 10k: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F232985386261 And a smart looking ‘94 vert, shame it’s an auto but I’m liking the ivory trim: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F264022840980

Right then, the symptoms are, I can hear the washer pump motor whirring away for the front wind screen washers when activated, but no water coming out of the jets, washer fluid bottle is full, jets are unblocked, So im guessing the impellor on the motor has had its chips, Nothing at all happens when I activate the rear screen wiper, ( well the wiper wipes, but no water sprays out) no whirring of motor etc etc, So what do you chaps think is wrong, and , can anyone supply me with a new tank with known good motors please, Thanks Sayers

I wonder if this is someone on here??? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6341425/Driver-DEFENDS-deliberately-parking-ageing-Nissan-two-spaces.html

Hi all does anyone know what this sensor is on the driver side, is it standard? 1993 390zx NA Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Hi all I’m back on the road thanks to my brother. Only need to pay him back now. What a beauty I must say, thanks Garry, very nice guy. Saw this on my speedo on the way home.

Prior to my new 95 harness and 740cc injector upgrade, I'm refinishing everything I can on the top half of the engine. Loads of fasteners, hose unions and fuel rails are at the platers, spare rocker covers are going to be vapour blasted and powder coated a satin silver and satin black as per original, I'm getting a spare intake manifold and throttle assembly vapour blasted to look like new and may dismantle some of the fixings to get plated although not sure I want to take apart the entire assembly. Has anyone had their throttle housings powder coated with the bearings still in situ? I'm guessing that the seals could be damaged and grease in the bearings ruined howev…

Morning guys I would like to propose we change the areas in our “Meetings and events” forum. Currently we have 13 sub forums (never a good number in motorsports) and I would like to see this changed to 7 forums (National, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, North, Midlands, South). After a recent roll call in the current south coast forum I got 4 replies. That’s terrible and not worth the time trying to organise an event. If we had larger areas more people might check in and see what’s going on. Localised meets could still be arranged in these larger forums so there’s no lose there. I’m not suggesting this is going to make a huge difference but it MIGHT help get more…

As has been suggested by a member on here, I thought I would start a new thread on this subject as I was looking at a set of Tein coilovers. I'm looking for something that has adjustable dampers so as not to break my back. While I understand coilovers in their very nature are stiffer, a down side to going low, I also understand that some are pretty decent now. HSD and Buddy Club have been recommended, but they are a fair bit of money, especially for something that's to be driven once in a blue moon and most likely not at all for the next 6 months. Any opinions are welcome, especially on ride stiffness.

Morning guys. I got the car out this morning to take it to a paint shop in Worthing so they could see what they could do for my spoiler and paint matching (last time I visit somewhere, if they’re not helpful it’s time to think about a full respray.). When I drove off the drive there was a terrible grinding noise from the front off side. I pulled over straight away and confirmed the noise was coming from the front suspension area, it felt like it was coming from the FUCA. I drove it two miles straight to my local brake and suspension shop to get it on the ramps for a proper look but when we went back to the car the noise had stopped so they were unable to look for a p…

Has anyone made a can bus cable for any sort of project ? Trying to setup a can bus link but i keep getting errors as follows on the tuning software : I've made this cable twice now and can't figure out whats wrong.

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.

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?
