right first i know most people will say change to manual! but im a lazy F**K lol please correct me if i am wrong! the autobox must change gear using electronic signals? so could i get rid of my autochanger and put buttons like you get on a astonmartin onto my dash to change gear? or even buttons on the back of the steering wheel to change through P N D 1 2 etc? and could i somehow get a device to show me what gear i am selected in? just a mad idea! probable not doable but if it was i would want a go!

Not the most technical or interesting of question I know,:whistling: But can I leave Wynn's rad flush in for a couple of weeks? or am I in danger of corrosion and also damaging gaskets etc':nuke: Thanks in advance, Redwine300.

afternoon all! I had a little play last weekend with various bits and bats and really decided that I wanted to give me front as as little grooves and lines as possible. im the kinf of guy who lies to flow with a cars original lines and make things just a lot less messy, anyway, I decided I wanted to go with a non TT bumper so thought I would pop on some pics of what I did and my new intercooler ducting and how i sealed off the old intercooler scoops. opinions welcome :)

Hi. Quite a strong smell of petrol from the engine bay when the engine is cold. Clears when engine warms up. Any ideas?

Found a Jap Z in a breakers getting the full details on Monday but so far it has a manuel box perfect for a conversion and HKS coil overs for £300. Anyone interested no good to me because I'm doing a standard restore? Daz.

On the Newport Road, just going past the new Oakridge Park estate. Couldn't tell the colour as is was dark (I think it was blue or black), had a vented nose panel also I think.

I will be attending santa pod on the 21st August and I believe there will be a fair number of zeds there. While I have never been a fan of the quarter mile I really did enjoy the buzz at Elvington and Pete has convinced me to try santa pod. So while I know there are lot's of meets to show off your zed what better way to show it off than at the strip :) Come on guys you know you want to lol

Can someone measure a subframe? Need the distance between the bolt holes where it joins to the body, front to back and left to right.

Been under the bonnet this afternoon with matt the guy who has silver streak [to check on his wiring problem] and noticed the pipes in the attached pictures blanked off, and they aren't on silver streak ! Can any one enlighten me on this? Had this car since 2003 [briefly sold it 2010] but never noticed this before. Dave

Odd question but has anyone ever fitted the sump with the reserve at the front? I know it require mods/custom sump and feed pipe but has it been done? And before you ask why it's the easiest way to get better clearence for this....

Does anyone knows where can i find the pic of the Z that´s picture on the 1996-1999 japanese brochure catalog? not the cover! it´s the first pic when you open the catalog...looks black!

Saw a very smart red 300, with 99spec reverse panel and cleared lights at wollaton crossroads in nottingham about 8:15 this morning!

Made the journey down to Emerald yeaterday afternoon. Left Glasgow at 1430 and arrived at 2200 last night. I was a bit apprehensive as the car had not been on any decent journeys for quite some time but it ran very smoothly. Kept it below 3000rpm the whole way down. It is now in the hands of Dave Walker at Emerald and on the rollers at the moment. Will try and get a couple of photo's when i pop back!! Not really bothered about chasing big power figures i just want the car to be quick and driveable!! Will let you know how i get on later!

Paul, you the man thankyou , thankyou , thankyou, all bits turned up in ace condition and earlier than expected, i will gladly buy from you in the future all the best Neil

So, a little after 6 weeks of having my car back I think its developing another wallet busting mechanical issue :helpsmilie: I'm hearing too much from the gearbox recently. Particularly 2nd and 4th gear, which I'm guessing means there's a bearing going on that shaft? When I take it past 5 thou rpm in either of those gears i'm hearing a vibration/rattling noise which also transfers to the gear knob? I was hoping it might just be in need of an oil change ('box oil) so I've booked it in at Zedworld next week. But after two spirited driving sessions yesterday I'm pretty convinced it's shagged. It also seems to be getting more prominant. I know the synchros on t…

I've been planning some bypasses and deletes for the zed for a while now and one I really want to do is removing the carbon canister system. Unfortunately with it been a 1997, following the guide on Robo's site it says i should be throwing up quite a few error codes if I do this and I can't seem to find much more info elsewhere. Guide: http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/6901.html I was just wondering given the site is getting on a little now has anyone come up with a way of doing this on a post 96 zed without getting the error codes? can the sensors not be fooled with a resistor or anything?

as above high level spoiler led lambo lights..SPOTTED!

Dont know if your interested or not lol!!! But a few people and a 2 pms came through asking me to update my ride section. so after 3 years ive done it :lol::lol::lol: Here is the link if your bothered :biggrin: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=521

driving down the main road at about 2pm

Just bought some Fuchs Titan Race Pro S full synth oil from Opie on special offer (buy 5 litres and get 1 free) and it was delivered damaged by the courier. Signed for by my neighbour, it sat on her step until I got home, by which time it had leaked all over her door mat and step! Dropped them an email and they quickly responded by sending me an entire 6 more litres and will also be sending me some cleaning products for my neighbours mat and doorstep!! I feel a bit guilty now as I have the best part of 11 litres of oil and only paid for 5/6 with the special offer!! :thumbup1:
