hi, just looking at different seats for the zed and would love buckets but i need rear access. has anyone used tilt brackets like these; http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Performance/Seats_Accessories/Seat_Mounting_Frames/Sparco_Tilt_Forward_Bracket/2012/0/17181 if so how are they do they still allow you to get rear access, all be it massively restricted and inconvenient?

Any body have them and if so where would be a good place to buy a set?

Had a change of plan for my seats and these will be up for sale soon, they have been professionally fitted using real leather with red stitching and are less than 1 year old, drivers is electric and passenger is manual, not sure on a price yet but make some sensible offers and I can see what I can do, I havent got my new ones yet so they wont be for sale until the new ones turn up, but I`m just gauging interest first heres some pics, more on request Daz

seen this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320738193764&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT is it just a case of unpluging 1 ecu and pluging in another or is there more involved than that any help please

I just went and got a few hens teeth for what I think is really cheap :-) have a guess what I got :-)

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....
