does anyone in the uk do this kit?

my brakes have been very poor for a while now, stopped with engine running brake pedal will go to floor but only when the car has been driven and is warm, i assume a broken master cylinder would let my pedal go to the floor all the time?? Cheers, dan

Well thanks to Steams, top bloke i must say. forgot how high the car would raise on standard height suspension, so had to pop the engine back in and adjust the load leveler, plus get the hoist lifting on all chains, these pictures were taken before id done that, the last well being taken after. Next up, fit the new turbos, change me fancy stuff over, and get the new engine back in. how hard is it to drop the front sub frame get the steering UJ out the way and get the gearbox and engine in in one go? as not too keen on trying to get a gearbox to mate with the engine from under the car with not much room, when on my own? photos taken using my phone, as did…

Successfully changed the oil and filter and would like to know the best way to flush the coolant system and re fill. Coolant looks rusty and a bit weak on anti freeze to say the least. Is there any existing posts someone could point me at please?

Filling up at the Shell Station on the H3(?) by the big A5 roundabout. Think it was about 10:30pm...

I currently have a Koyo rad fitted, but it's leaking a fair bit from the bottom (not sure how this has happened). I guess it will need replacing? I had a search and gather that products like Radweld aren't so great for these cars? Can it be repaired? I've been looking online for a Koyo rad, and found this, although that seems suspiciously cheap? Would I be better off going for the Japspeed group buy on at the moment, and will the Japspeed radiator fit the same pipes that are currently attached to my Koyo rad?

Hi Guys, Quick Question, I need to replace my revolution sensor is there a easy way to replace it.. Regards, Matt

found this the other day but new to me anyway. http://z32.wikispaces.com/

Whilst my engine is out, im going for a full paint job. The car is currently black but ive decided to change. There just seems to be too many black ones about. Anyhoos, i was thinking of a light grey. Not as dark as the stock gunmetal, but way darker than silver. But i dont want a dull boring grey grey. :) In my head i see a super shiny pearly grey lol, prob with a blue pearl. However, after hours on google i cant find what i'm after. The closest i can find is Ferrari or TVR grigio titanio or Dodge Viper steel. Does anybody have any ideas? Any photo shop masters out there than can rustle something up? Thanks

Hi, bit of an eventful day today and to cut long story short after a fews months back at home I'm flying the coop again. I'm only young, financially it was a great idea but in practice, hell no ha. Anyhow thats all sorted and I can't wait for the move but my only concern is I will be moving to Sheffield and the idea of keeping my Zed on the road in the city centre isn't one that fills me with glee. As such i'm wanting to make a bit of extra effort and fit some extra security toys and was hoping for some suggestions really. Just bought a quick release boss as I figure the idea of pinching a car without a steering wheel probably isnt the best but anything else anyone can su…

right i got hold of some switches with build in led so i know when there on i have 3 and wish to use them for powering the Antenna as i hardly listen to the radio, and everyone says it spoils the look of the car and one for additional sidelights on the front, and the other for my lights for my rear side reflectors? i dont want to ruin my perfect radio surround of damage the plastics around the clock or gear lever?, where do you lot locate your switches? cheers chris

Hi I'm dropping the exhaust from the cat back this weekend to get at various bits like rear steering, diff oil plug etc, plus to polish and check for any damage, any advice on what I'll need to do a proper job of fitting them back on? new gaskets/some kind of exhaust paste/sealant? Cheers

After having 2 zeds for a while i want to compile a basic list of regular checks that us as owners should be doing to help maintain and keep out cars alive. other than the usual checks such as oil, water, lights etc, what else should be checked in order to keep the car as good as can be. couple of ideas i have so far. 1. Targa drain tubes, check at least once a month, to ensure the pipe is clear and draining away. As nissan decided to join two bits of pipe with a metal insert. if it gets blocked over time, the insert then rusts away, thus emptying water into the bodywork, causing sill damage. 2. wind deflectors. check every 2-3 months. just a bit of silicone spray w…

Your inbox is full matey........ Just to let you know, posted items this morning, first class recorded delivery. Can you let me know when you get them. Cheerz, Alz.

my heater fan decided not to work this morning it has been fine and shown no signs of slowing down or strange noises associated with failiure, i have check 2x 15a fuses on the internal fuse box and the 7.5a aircon fuse on the internal fuse box these were all ok have also checked the10a fuse in the engine bay fuse box gain this was ok only work i've done is fit a hid conversion (using pin5 from relay under bonnet mod) so looking for ideas on this one.

Well i think the time has come to finally take my engine out!!! I have got poor idleing at the mo plus i sometimes get blue smoke on idle and i have low boost! so im thinking i want to check and recondition the turbos. plus the tax is due and im buying some down pipes and de cats. i also need to do the rocker cover gaskets, the centre prop bearing, some welding, new det sensor and a water by pass! Im also thinking ill change the clutch while im there but is there anything else i should do while the engine is out? Cambelt has already been done. Also can anyone recommend a company to replace/recondition my turbos? thanks

..Or at least very similar, look like Equips but I dont recognise the centre cap lol. Someone needs to buy them, one of the best wheels you can get for the Z! (albeit they are only 17s) :euro: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-FAIRLADY-ALLOY-WHEELS-TYRES-/280718856493?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&hash=item415c25d12d

does anybody know if coilovers that fit skylines r32/33/34 or any ones that fit the silvias would fit the 300zx cause iam finding it hard to find any second hand ones, i dont have the budget to order new ones for it at the moment if anybody could advise me that be grand id have better chance of finding second hand skyline/silvia ones if they fit cheers:gunsmilie:

oh, just a question..... This wont fit on my 300 ;-/ the plastic blue clips are in the wrong places and the brake light plastics where the screws are set in get stuck on the metal ‘o’ rings they’re meant to go through to fasten. It wont be pushed in the old brake hole for the old spoiler, any ideas??? I've now developed a bloody hairline fracture in the thing and think I am going to have to go over it in silver to match the bodywork... maybe mould it into the tailgate ggggggrrrrrrrrrr, I was so careful too! If you do get one, the Z Centre sells them and is fookin' lush!

a big thank you to smithy for all his help and time to get his zed over to jeffs for me to purchase. also thanks to linda, jeff & jamie for there time and making me feel welcome.
