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:

A quick guide for anyone looking to fit stainless steel fuel lines, its a nice easy job but I couldn't see a guide elsewhere. Also for anyone looking to get a set, if your anything like myself I always like to see whats involved before I buy something. Engine bay before: 1. First things first, start by removing the following fuse from the small fuse box located by the brake master cylinder: 2. No picture need here, open the petrol cap to release preasure from the system then turn the engine over a few seconds to remove fuel from the lines. 3. Remove the throttle cable cover. Four screws hold this in place, the final one is at the rear of…

A big thanks to jeff at zedworld for sorting me out with a pair of stock ecu chips :sorcerer: the question is my tt uk zed has been converted to manual, so do i go with the manual or auto chip in my ecu? im not sure if there is any diffrence at all? thanks Dewi

Something a little different in the colour schemes, i think it looks nice, but not to everyones taste,

Well, nearly! Just got back from my travels yesterday, so there was about an inch of dust and plant debris on my car. I was out of Tripplewax shampoo, so nipped to Asda for a few car cleaning products. Got a carrier bag full of tins, magic potions and enough micro-fibre cloths to make a patch work quilt. There was an offer on the T-Cut and Car Polish - 4 quid for the lot. Then I spent the next 3 hours washing, drying, T-Cutting and polishing the Zed. The paintwork has looked a little tired for some time. Namely because I bought a cheapo car cover (before I got my targas fixed) that scratched all the paint above the wheelarches. Anyway, I could not believe the tr…

Can someone just confirm that TT manual use the garret t25 turbos please? And if anybody has taken on a turbo rebuild where the best place to get the kits from is? Thanks dave
