as above he used to have a zed so maybe someone knows him

Spotted an M reg silver with series 4 spoiler whilst driving back towards Dorchester Think it was M376 ?TT. about 12ish looked nice and tidy. I waved but didnt get a response, i was in a white nissan micra (girlfriends)

Does the stereo remote lead on the built in ISO lead, carry a voltage to turn things on like the amp? Reason i ask, im trying to tidy up the boot area, the speaker cables / earth and live wires have been wired in nicely, but the remote feed for my amps is being taken from a laptop incar charger that plugs into the lighter socket, im trying to eliminate the incar charger to go direct to the iso lead if possible. as i have plans for my astray which is going.

http://www.zcentre.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.tpl&product_id=297&category_id=80&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=7 Thinking of trying it in black on my motor. IF (and a big one at that) i do go down that route, it will be black with black roof bars, followed on with my black 99spec rear spoiler. But will keep my blue bonnet just incase i hate it lol Just want to know if anyone or you know of anyone on here with the bonnet already fitted so i can have a look, preferably already painted, as cant quite get a feel for it with the zcenter pictures.

what bumper is this please anyone, its totally impractical as sits bout 2 inches from ground. will be removing asap

Watched you nice time m8 plus got a video of it Mark

Hi, maybe a silly and straight forward question but until I have done something for the first time i am always a little trepidatious. I want to remove the power steering reservoir to paint it black, when putting it back is it simply haynes style and the reverse of removal and what do I do to avoid getting air in the power steering system? I'm sure that part is inevitable so how do I go about bleeding the system? I don't know why but doing anything on a zed even routine seems like it should be infinitely more complex ha

deleted all the hicas system aswell as aiv egr aircon etc but I'm still trying to work out is it possible to use an na powersteering pump un modified or is it best just to blank off the hicas pipes on the tt pump? Any help Cheers Craig

After watching the new top gear I checked out site they mentioned. http://howmanyleft.co.uk/?q=nissan+300zx Was surprised to see how few 1990 2+2 autos are on the road and not sworn.

Can some one please tell me how the heck to change the number plate bulbs? I've looked and looked! Sure its mega easy but its got me stumped!:blushing:

Morning everyone, I changed the 16's my swb came with for the 18's I got from Del. Problem is I now have the steering pulling to the left and the steering wheel is no longer aligned when heading straight. Do I just need to take it in to get the alignment done or have I somehow screwed something up. Cheers Martin.

Hi, your car looked very nice indeed.I was in the white one.

well its been 2 weeks since i sold my z,and atleast another 4 before i pick up my new one,never did i think i would miss not driving a car so much. anyone else felt this way before?

Ok so we had a party last night, got very very drunk and let's just say I won't be driving today, so I decided to try and fit my Koyo Rad, and do a couple of other jobs, like remove my aircon rad etc. Aircon rad removed, inlet pipes removed, water pipes removed, I still can't get the damn radiator to go in!!!! It gets stuck constantly. I could maybe just force it in, but I don't want to bend all the fins and potentially make it leak, anyone got any tips on fitting one of these bloody things?

anybody got a wiring diagram of the ignition ? I had one last time I fitted an alarm to the zed but seem to have lost it

I had a twin turbo on classic insurance for just over a year and because aim breaking my car and have tried to transfer insurance to may convertible (300zx) na they won't do this on classic and have lost my 7yrs no claims on my tt so effectively start again they are quoting me over £2000 what a f..ing rip off time to get rid of my z sme think ...

wiring in my avcr and I'm on the last wire at the ecu using the twin turbo .net write up and somethings wrong. On avcr grey wire goes to pin 38 throttle which is White. On my car pin 38 is orange with a grey tracer, anyone got one wired in that would mind taking a look for Me or me calling them? Thanks Craig

Who was this then,? black guy driving through Southport, we exchanged waves ;) and had a little rag :)),but your's sounded way too powerful for the vert,nice motor mate, Daz

Hi all, I have a problem with my mileometer which stopped working. I have had the milometer taken out and cleaned but it still does not work. I cannot seem to find anyone that has one new or old - HELP!! Does anyone know where I can get one??? Thanks very much

morning! the last time i took the zx out i had a squeaky brake so found an empty piece of road n hit the brakes reasonably hard just to see if i could get rid of the squeak, after doing this my steering felt very odd, wether it is linked i dnt know but it was a quite a fight with the steering to get it home, i have gone out this morning to have a look, started the car and turned the steering to full lock each way a couple of times, when doing so there is a point where it goes very tight to the left and then when i rotate to the right it does it again, but then the rest of the rotation is smooth? hope that makes sence ! cheers guys!!

ok, so im trying to polish a set of water pipes that i took of my red zed, ive got all the blemishes off them and the dirt and they do look nice and shiny, yet they lack that mirror finish, im down to 1200grit wet dry sand paper, do i need to go higher grade? like 1800 or 2000grit or something? its shiny but dull if that makes sense? there is no mirror finish. Just wondering how people get there stuff so it gleams with a surface to comb your hair on.

Got my new Alloys today so what colour calipers shall i go for I want them to stand out a little now. The normal red with white writing Or a nice yellow with black writing inc pipes and bolts?? Im looking to do them tomorrow if the weather is nice :)

Quick question, has anyone removed the ABS on there zed?? if so has it caused any problems? Also can anyone confirm that the rear brake pipes enter into the rear floor section for the abs pump only?? or is there another reason they are tucked up behind rear subframe?? cheers in advance

when aiming for over 500hp does the MAF need to be changed or upgraded, especially for mapping.... and i need FACT rather than 'i guess so' just something smithy said earlier id like to question and solve. thanks in advance.

why are the horn son zeds so crap and tempremental, mine was shagged last mot so it was replaced no its buggered again, theyre always bad sounding and pathetic, but why do they break, it now doesnt make a sound, i assume its teh actual horn? not a dodgy switch? how can i check whats common etc.....
