finally getting round to changing these, turns out the drivers side one has a little play in the ball joint on the wheel end of the arm as well as the rack end, but my local parts dealer can't get hold of them. I would of thought they would come with the arms but no joy. Haven't tried Nissan yet, but was just wondering if anyone knows of a place?

Just fitted 2 new push fit conectors over my old type, tyre valve r12 gas connectors .A bit of gas came out doing this ,air con hasent worked for 2 years so i take it needs a regas .after searching its seems some filling up with the new r134a gas no problems without changing seals etc .Some say it needs other mods to run the new gas diffrent oil, higher running pressure etc.also my air con clutch thing is permantly out what does this mean ,does it do this when its gas low on gas .Is refill point top or bottom connector thanks taff.:thumbup:

Hi Guys Thinking of putting some different shaped side repeaters on, what do ya'll think... Rich

thankfully it went at low speed! umm think my wheels meant to point same way!

Hey Guys, My ac has always been seized up ever since i bought it, what would be the rough cost of replacing the unit and is it a lot of work???

It looked stunning as I drove past with my silver bmw e36 m sports coupe, I had to come over and have a look it was in silver with 18's 5 spoke Anterea alloys with blue brake calipers, it was parked in front of the Bull pub on London road any one from here? I think there is only one or two in bedford that I've seen.

need all 4 have no idea where to get them please help. need a place that does all 4 please. for t25 (standard turbo fitment)

When out driving last week, i gave it a bit of abuse! Out in the country, i popped it sideways out of a side road. (Note, this was a priavte countryside, and you could see for miles with nobody around). Then BANG! It threw me the other way trying to get me in the bush on the other side of the road. I controlled it, then got out to inspect. A bit of tyre made a bid for freedom! Now on a space saver!

I wasn't a fan of the bumpers that were on my car. 99 front, which i know is popular and i do like it, but to me, when i think of a zed, i think of a standard one, ie 89 spec. That goes for the spoiler too. So the front bumper... The 89 bumper isn't properly fitted, but its a bit damaged, so i planned for it to be sorted with the respray i was getting! It was from Niko's car..

I'm new to the ZX300 although I've had one - bought Feb. 2008, drove 43 miles in it, garaged ever since due to illness - for over 3 years. I bought it cheap on Ebay because the boot spoiler had rotted away. I also suspect it's been clocked because the leather seat is well-worn but it's showing 55000 k's on the clock. Anyway, it's passed it's last 2 MoT's no problem and now I'm better, I'm starting the refurbishment process. To start, can anyone tell me the best place to get a new boot spoiler. Thanks. dicey.

Came across this while looking for summit else. This Saturday its under the hammer, should be very cheap, non-starter ! http://www.nsaa.co.uk/vehicle-details/1992-nissan-300-zx-zx-2+2-saloon/7285F Alan...........

not something im wanting to do or anything, just curious, can you sit in neutral and lift the revs then select d to get a bit of a launch? or is that a quick way to kill the box?

General question, but whats the minimum height i need to get the car in the air to be able to get the engine and gearbox out by dropping the front sub frame. Thinking of doing it this way this time to save time and also gain the experience from doing it in this manner. I've always taken the gearbox off first and then the engine. and although i find it better when working on my own. id really like to attempt my engine and gearbox change by dropping the front sub frame so i can attach the gearbox to the engine while its out and lower it in, in one go to save the hassle of trying to raise a gearbox off the floor and mount it with the engine.

Ive finally got a zed that runs perfect and needs nothing (bar body work). Its really fast and drives without fault. Its taken me until now from when i first joined to be able to say that, after all the time money sweat a tears ive spent ob zeds.. Sods law, that now im here, ive got NO money what so ever! This is not a for sale ad, but i might put one up. Ian was quoted £600 to get the body looking decent. Ive been quotef £1200, but i was changing the colour! I need something for work as i sold the van/done a deal for the blue zed. I cant afford to drive the zed. I'd love to garage it til i can, but i need a work car!!!! What to do, what to …

the thread on the intake manifold/lower plenum is knackered its the one with the short bolt up front! going to replace the intake over the winter but any ideas to help keep the bolt tight for the time being? dan.:biggrin:

Has anyone used the above clutch before ive heard they are very good for a twin plate and very streetable? Thanks Dan

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO-/190541721893?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2c5d2bf125 It seems to have the 300zx.co.uk sticker on the rear window. Thought I'd ask if anyone knows anything about this one as my cousins interested in it.

As the title states, is £50 a good price foor a hub and wheel bearing?? But more importantly to save money and effort - is it possible to just replace a hub Pin on its own??

As above really anyone have contact details for Car mad styling cannot pm him as his subscription must of run out. Jeff TT

Hi All, I'm looking at buying Sky89's NA 300zx. Had a look last night, it's a great car but does need some work doing to it. The main thing at the moment is that it needs a new cambelt. I'm looking for recommendations for a decent mechanic to do this for me, along with general servicing. I live near Chelmsford in Essex. Would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction. Cheers, Colin

Does anyone know where I can get a decent fitting car cover for the z, one that wont flap about in the wind too. My last one used to be half off the car when I got home after work Another question: If I bought a koyo rad, do I need a certain one or do I have to buy a seperate uprated oil cooler as I have an auto?

You passed me as i was pulling out of my road from home :detective: around 4pm 06/06/11

Hey Guys, Well dunno what it is but going in my z recently feels like being in a roll cage lol (maybe the theifs abused it dunno). Its a really a bad ride currently and sometimes in london if i go on bad roads, i can almost hear a ding in the front suspensions. Would it be worth changing it over without another pair of standard suspension? I am looking for a bit more comfort in riding the car!

hey guys, my car makes a jingling type noise which seems to be coming from the OSR corner of the car as i go over bumps and potholes etc. when i did my last oil change i saw my clutch hose hanger dangling, and it made the exact noise i was looking for when i banged it against the underside of the car. Great i thought and cable tied the pipe to keep it tied up, and did away with the hanger. but to my disappointment the noise is still there. ive had a good look underneath and cant find anything. does anyone have any suggestions? its pretty loud when driving, but i cant make it do it on the jacks :-(
