Hi guys think its time in my z,s life to have a new lick of paint! Does anyone know anybody who does paint work reasonably cheap , but to a good standard? Cheers guys !

Does anyone know where to get chromed intercooler piping? I dont mean the stainless hard pipes you see everywhere. The 6 pipes on the right in this pic: The one thing i cant find is a decent chromers. There just seems to be none in Scotland

http://www.repairablevehicles.co.uk/salvage-vehicles/vehicle-details/nissan/200sx/petrol/manual/395 Looked very good...What do you think about the price?

Just passing a house the other day and noticed a black z on the drive here. Any who's registered?

is this suitable to use in the zed, i use this regularly in "normal cars" to clean injectors and reduce emmissions but is it safe in the z?

Had a strange noise started a few days ago , didn,t do it when cold but got worse the warmer the car got , had a look at it today and it,s the water pump , removed the belt and it feels smooth with virtually no play in it and no leaks and is pumping well , start the warm engine and no noise , put the belt back on and the rattles there , very strange :crying::crying: Oh well i,d best start stripping it down :crying::crying:

It's from my Racelogic TC and I'd like to get the correct crimpers for them but haven't got a clue what they are. The total lenght of the crimp is about 2cm. Any help would be great :) Cheers PS Sorry for the blurry pic....

Wonder if you guys could help me, whilst the past decade + of business has been a constant learing and relearning of new ways to promote and keep the best service available I am always keen to hear others views. Below is a series of pm`s from a customer who I concidered had received a good service with a fair price and tech help to boot. Unfortuntately there has been a problem a few months later that to be fair has not been substantiated by ourselves but as usual we take things as we are told as there is no reason to think other wise and so offered tech support and advise and later a replacement part, to keep cost down for us we sent the part by Royal Mail not …

Hi Guys, Do any of you have kids that go in the back of the 300? Reason I am asking is the seat belts in the back are not normal like the ones in the front of the car. The ones in the back just strap over you waist as it were is the best I can describe it. Now the booster seats - don't go in the back very well due to the shape of the seat. So I was wondering does anyone know if I can just have the kiddies in the back with the seat belt fastened and no booster? As I thought the booster was for the type of belts in the front of cars. Any help appreciated. regards Dave

well got the exhaust sitting here from the orange zed and as much as I'd like to get a full brand new one its £400 and I just don't have that sort of money this year so gonna clean up mine and put it on. Now cleaning it up is easy I'm fine with that was wondering if there is an paint or that I could put on it to make it a bit better?

hiya all is enyone going to the ten of the best at weekend. if so what day you thinking it would be good to meet some of you and have a look at your cars

hey folks, just wondering about prices for a 'drive in drive out' manual conversion in Scotland, is there any specialists etc...i wouldn't actually mind buying the parts and doing it myself, could it be done over a weekend etc??? i do like the auto to drive, but not having full control of the gears has started to wear thin very quickly :( i did see somewhere that did it down south but it was £1200 or something like that, i would deffo prefer a conversion than looking for another manual 300, with the exception of a few blemishes i've managed to pick up a really decent car, the motor seems really well looked after etc...anyway, as mentioned above, any specialist in Sco…

We have three Z's in our house and all three could do with the timing checking/adjusting, two of them were once autos and are now manuals and my manual has had a timing belt change :D

and the autobox is out think im gonna need new exhausts too

here s some recent pics

Hi guys, Need some advice yet again! lol OK, first things first, my engine is on a stand stripped down, it's been sitting for 3 years and my mechanic suggests new head gaskets... I have the complete gasket kit, but I want to run up to around 400bhp with a boost controller after. Do I need a metal gasket with arp head bolts or can the standard new gasket take that with a set of new bolts??? Thanks a lot peeps.

As the weather was nice,:dance: I thought I would take the Z for a spin along the by-pass. at around 5,500 RPM under full boost, WHAM! sudden loss of power,:scared: It felt as though I was only running on 2 or 3 cylinders and she was really shuddery. Brought the speed to 20 MPH with no load and everything was smooth, but as soon as I applied any sort of load she just ran awful. managed to limp home in second and third gear so as to keep the rev' down, once on the drive she ticked over and revved like a sewing machine,:confused1: any ideas? this has got me worried to say the least.

OK after the long wait which felt like years, she has had a recon gearbox auto, fitted by my local garage. Then had other issues but they were not experts on this car, having tried their best. I took it to D2 in Strood. As he was recommended on here and by Nissan themselves Got the car back at 12pm. Took here for a ride about 35 miles in total which I have to say is the longest ride I have had since owning the car. Well all I can say is she ran sweet as a nut....! My heart very relieved. There might be issues that appear later but so far so good. Gave it some heavy right foot as one would on the fast roads and my oh my!! She was great! So although i…

Ok im looking to find how wide i can go with wheels as i just read someones post that has 9.5 inch on the front. What do you have, what offset and any work done to fit them? Marty

Can anyone tell me where I can get hold of a fibre glass spoiler - as per the original - for a '93 2+2 please. Thanks. Dicey PS. This car is costing me a fortune !!!:scared:

well i cant even remover how long its been and how many components I've change and checked...... (not to event mention the amount it's cost).. any way finally sorted out a vac tester unit, made a couple of these up: and low and behold, massive pressure loss.... one of the pipes form the intercooler direct on to the turbo had a big hole in it (could push my littler finger though it)... I'd already tightened all those pipes up but hadn't taken them off...D'Oh.... anyway one of the vac pipes also had a split in it, rubber melted close to the turbo.... anyway, car now has the power I remember.... very happy :) :D :)

Just spent most of the day at work giving my car a good clean - gave it a good polish that gave a slight cut first to bring it right up with a nice shine then applied a sealant over the top given to me by our valeters :wub:

needed to borrow today please, anyone got one......

Well all its been a while, unfortunately i have only driven my Zed once this year and that was for the Banzai mag shoot in about March. It has MOT Tax and is insured :mellow:. I really need to pull my finger out my backside and do a few bits to it to get it proper sorted out so it is a more sensible drive. 1. Fit a new stock fuel pump (that I have) just till its run in. 2. Bleed or adjust the clutch as it bites a bit bit low 3. Sort out the Emerald stuff its doing like 3-5MPG and has a bad blank spot. Then I can run it in, I love the car but just seemed to loose interest in it when I realised I could not do anything with it because of the MPG. At the …
