I went for a drive this afternoon, driving into Rugby with roadworks, lights went green off i went when i saw a sign saying RAMP AHEAD, so with my front end being low I slowed down so i would not do any damage, before i knew what happened a **** in a company car rams me up the ass, Damage to rear quarter, exhaust and rear bumper, I spent most of my working life with bodywork, so it has not done any chassis damage,,,, PORTA POWER , will jack it back into shape, Its just a question now of convinsing the insurers not to write it off Pics posted later I AM TOTALLYYYYYYYYYY PI...D OFF

I remember seeing this plate on the forum before, but can't remembe r whos it is?

after fitting the driftworks kit and finally fitting the coilovers (nearly happy with the setup!)took the Z to get alignment done and now another problem! as you can see from the pictures once hooked up to the machine me Z looked like a crab going along the road in the before pic! but the chap couldnt get enough adjustment for the camber not enough on the rear and none on the front so looking for some advise as to what you all with lowered Z's use? i have seen some kits on ebay but would like to buy a kit once that does the job! dan.:confused1:

hi everyone, Running standard shocks and springs, was wondering if anyone else as had any issues with zed sitting to high, mainly the rear, had it before when jacked car up but normally settles, But have not jacked it up, and can get my fist between top of wheel and arch, just seems its raised itself, on my uk zed came out one morning and rear one side was sitting really high and shock had jammed up, do the shock raise when they have had it, or am i dreaming that its raised,

I have Falken tyres on the rear and both were new at the same time, i had all the tracking balancing and set up done while having new front tyres fitted, but i noticed today that my rear left tyre is nearly illegal, while my drivers rear still has a good amount of tread. Now the worn tyre has worn evenly over the tread of the tyre inside to out, so what i cant understand is how one tyre on the same axle can wear (evenly) and the other side virtually untouched in comparison. I drive it fairly modestly and dont go ragging round corners. Any ideas?

Today John came up and fitted my Emerald ECU. He was up north on holiday and gave up his time to ensure I could get the car ready to take to Emerald on Thursday. The man is a true gentleman and I can't thank him enough for his time and expertise today. Cheers John!

Hi Guys, If a put a new MAS AIR FLOW Sensor on does the car require a retune. Just wondering as I have purchased one from ebay (New) but on there website it states clearly a 300zx will require a retune. Is this correct or shall I just go straight to Nissan for a new one. Many thanks Dave

It's the naturally aspirated 3 litre 5 speed automatic UK spec This car is very tidy especially being close to 25 years Only had two owners from new which have been my father and his grandfather the original purchaser. The car has 60k genuine miles with 25 years of receipts to back this up. It has it's original paintwork in perfect condition the seals around the roof are leak free as well as an immaculate interior. Everything electrically and mechanically works perfectly (headlights and ariel etc) The only aftermarket addition is an aftermarket immobiliser, this car is totally original. The tired are pretty much brand new and it's has just had a …

I have a full retrim lined up to modernise the inside of the zed. I quite fancy swapping a few parts for parts from other cars. How easy would this be? I was thinking, Door handles Window switches Door air vents I've seen examples i like and will suit the zed. Will they be a strighforward swap? The interior guys will make them fit, but in terms of them being operational....

Hi People, I used to be a subby on here many moons ago before giving up the Z scene for the family Zafira scene :) anyway I was always upgrading and replacing everything and have just come across a box of bits that I will give to anyone in the Exeter area FOC Just to get rid :) The bits are: Standard passenger and driver side trims, Radiator cap, oil cap, side repeater covers and engine cover in the champagne colour :) Have attached a pic of the stuff and will pop back on here later to see if anyone is interested :) Mods if what I am doing is against any rules on the forum please remove post as just wanted to help out the people on here who helped me out in the …

Im just trying to understand the difference between them as you cant use an auto one with a manual engine. Does anyone know why?

Hi all, Just got my ZX a couple of days ago and my new headunit arrived today

Some of you mentioned about using a spray gun instead of spray cans. Im tempted to go down this path, but having never used a spray gun before I have a few questions: - Will I realistically be able to do a decent job first time? - Can you give me advice on how to mix the paints? - Where can i purchase all of the things i will need? - How much are we talking for all of the items?

for anyone who`s cam sprockets are leaking and are thinking of getting the bde rebuilt ones, heres some close ups. You can see the allen bolts on the rear eliminating any future movement from the plates, so no more oil leaks!

Here's an interesting one... ever since owning my Z (over 8 years), the brake warning light (the "Lights" one, not the handbrake one) came ON when I pressed the brake pedal. Because my brake lights have always worked, I assumed that it was there to tell you that the lights were working! After doing a bit of searching on this good forum, it turns out that not only should it warn you that the brake light(s) are NOT working, but also that a rear fog light conversion (which I have had done) will cause the light to come on when braking even though the brake lights are fine. Now no issues here, but recently I noticed that the light now doesn't come on when I brake. The bra…

saw a black n/a this morning parked in Pattenden lane. Reg K515 R**. Looked like an original car apart from the mid level spoiler.

My ZED was registered on the 30th April 1993. (UK spec TT manual) It has cats fitted, and I have read a lot about de catting. What are the benifits of doing this, and can I get away without them? Cheers all......

I understand they are not available any more, but could use a left hooker loom is this correct? and has any body got an idea of cost [i do req 2] Dave

If you have had, or currently have, one fitted please can you select an option and also post what make or supplier you got it from. Any details on failures also appreciated :)

As I understand it my pearl paint has a solid yellow paint code underneath then the pearl code is sprayed over it but what is the solid yellow paint code anyone?
