hi everyone, just took the zed out for a spin, engine running mint but the autobox wont go past 2nd gear, changes from 1st to 2nd no problem but wont go past 2nd. anyone got any ideas?

has anyone got a picture of the bottom of the wheel arch at the back on a swb, the bit where the rear bumper screws on. i need to sort a repair which someone has bodged before pete

Just a quick question, is the genuine Strosek wide arch rear quarters made from metal or FRP? thanks

If your that bored, you can LED my drivers side window switch, the passenger side is LED'ed but the drivers side for some reason isnt :blink: Ooh and you will love my volume control button ive got for my zed, its got a blue LED at the base that dims and brightens depending on what the volume is set at Just need to relocate the lighter socket (think it was Jason farrow who moved his inside his arm rest) and then sort something out with the ashtray so i can mount it properly, ive already routed the cable

Has anyone upgraded to poly bushes? If so, which did you change? Would you recommend it? Where is the best place to buy from? Cheers guys, Dan

How much difference in length and angle/bend is there between a LWB and SWB exhaust rear section (back box)? thanks in advance :thumbup1:

Well i got bored, so put some leds in the map light switch and a little strip to glow through the vent where the little fan would be, except mine has never had the fan so had the space. Not the best pics, need a better camera lol. They come on with the side lights. Then i though i would have a play with led strips and might go with it. I will do the front footwells and it should all tie up nicely with the Stainless EL sills to go in,

Having finally got her through the MOT after 4 and a half years of welding etc' etc' I have been giving her a bit of a spin.:dance: My question is, what is the maximum boost reading I should expect?:confused1: On full throttle she is virtually going off the gauge, close to 14 psi. Is this to high for a stock UK? or is this normal?:sweatdrop: Cheers in advance. Redwine300.

evening everyone!! right i have just carried out a "scientific experiment" and just had a question for your more clued up selves, is my import limited to 120mph? sorry if thats a daft question, but that appears to be the way.. if not i have... problems :huh:

Blue one with a High level spoiler, seen it once before a few weeks ago?

Hi there all, Since joining back in 2008 I've been living in Germany. Everytime I've been back its either been without a car or in the 350Z. Well next week I'll be in a proper Zed car and want to meet up with some of you lot. So I propose a weeknight next week at a pub for a few cokes and maybe a bite to eat so I can get some inspiration for my car and generally bang the world to rights LOL. I've seen this place as a possible venue however I am open to suggestions. http://www.vintageinn.co.uk/thefisherspondeastleigh/findus/ Tuesday / Wednesday is good for me but again can be flexible, I am back with work after all. Hopefully see some of you s…

Would like to ask what may seem a daft question, but when aiming for High power, is it necessary to have a larger diameter exhaust? my current setup is decat-downpipes with 2 free flowing JDM 4.5 inch single exhaust back box tips. with this being my daily driver, at night this is abit loud so bought a mongoose 2x3 inch double exit quad system, will this be free flowing enough for 500HP + potential, or am i better off not fitting it?

check it out, not used them or have any connection just sharing what ive seen. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-BACK-BOX-EXHAUST-SUPPLY-AND-FITTED-/130538947290?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e64ba42da

hi all, as above wanted to show me car off see what people think, i had the back smoothed and had it painted artic white a little while back but engine went and only just fixed it so wanna show it off a bit why im happy with it before it makes me mad and something happens again. thank you.

On Saturday, going over the Eastern Road flyover towards Havant. I was heading west but it looked nice and tidy:)

Hi all, sold my 300zx around five years ago and miss her. Anyone know the where abouts? 1992 Fairlady Z TT in Red. Had 19" alloys with a reg plate K740 SUY.

hey everyone im doin an oil change this week and im wondering if i need a different oil with all the mods thats on the car the list of mods can be found in rides under silver streak cheers boys

How the hell do you get it off? im trying to sort out a drivers seat but its got...nvm just see the photo. the stitching has come away, now i dont want to wreck the seat, just change the back rest padding over from the one currently in my car. as i can then make one good one out of 2 bad ones. Anyone got a write up about it? ive searched but nothing fruitful

Had a look at removing my rear lights today, its got the 4-pot light conversion which has been well fitted, but unfortunately I really dont like it. :lol: When I say well fitted I mean its all blended into the body - I had a look from behind and its got yellowy-greeny stuff that it seems to be held in with, as you can see where the excess bits have started to drip out. Can someone tell me what it is and whats the best way to remove it? Its solidified and pretty tough getting through with a knife. I'd rather not knacker the light panel as I'd be wanting to sell it on when I've fitted my new lights.

Well tidy. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO-VERSION-S-/150614790288?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2311575090#ht_112919wt_1141

are the uk screenwasher bottles and pumps different from the imports its the lwb one we are talking about

can you lads on here recommend a performance air filter to replace the standard one on my twin turbo

Well for me anyway! My drivers window glass had a big scratch all the way down, fortunately for me I had an O/S UK spec drop glass 'in stock' :whistling: I've removed a couple of window regulators/motors/glasses from breakers before but thats easy just undoing things until they fall out, its different when you have to rebuild it lol. I've always feared the day I've have to change one myself. :ohmy: Got the door card off in about 2 mins (well trained at that) but to my suprise, 20 mins later I'd got the new glass in place and tested and door card back on! :cool3: It was one of those jobs that made me proud that I'd achieved it and not scared of them anymore!…

Right im looking at these new alloys. they are an offset of 35rear and 30 fronts At the min mine are 40 rear with 275/30/19 and 30 front 245/35/19 , So i know that i can have the same size tyres on the front but what about the rears or will the fail on the arch?? they are tight as they are now With it being 35 vs 40 does that mean the 35 will fill the arch more by pushing the alloy outwards???
