Has anyone driven round Blyton Park on a trackday??? https://www.trackdays.co.uk/tracks/blyton-park/ Any comments?? Positive or negative.

Hi! Just after some quick advice or recommendations. I picked up a second car so I can keep the mileage and winter damage off the zed, when the time comes to wrap up for the winter I'm just wanting to know what is best practice. It will be getting kept on a drive way and I'll be purchasing some kind of waterproof cover and disconnecting the battery. Is there anything else I should be doing? Also prior to this I'm wanting to take her somewhere for an annual service, I think Jimmer is a bit far from me to be going down for a service so wondering if there are any recommended places up north? And what should be maintained during the annual service? Thanks guys :)

A nice read about a Japanese tuning company, the Midnight Club and a 300zx. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/tgs-guide-japan/look-around-revolfe-tuning-japan

Well I'm back. Car's running perfectly, weather is looking good and I've a 13.19 second 1/4 mile time to improve on. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Took the car today to a MOT test place that I hadn't used before and passed with flying colours. Before I went I swapped out the HID bulbs for the standard Halogen bulbs just in case. After the test I spoke to the examiner about fitting aftermarket HIDs to the car and he explained that if they were of the bulb and invertor type plugged into the projector he would not have passed the car. How he would know if the HIDs were aftermarket and not factory fitted I didn't ask and he didn't tell me. I did ask about fitting '99 spec OEM HIDs and he told me that since they were manufactured by Nissan for the Z32 and I could show that and the bulb and projector…

Thought I'd start a separate thread about this particular ECU as it really interested me. The ECU is the Link G4+ and its a direct plug in replacement for the standard zed ECU. General retail price I have been quoted is £910 plus vat which matches up with what I see on ebay. I managed to get a glance of one of these ECU's today as it was getting fitted to a Skyline which apparently uses the same connections as the zed. This is a MAP device so when hooked up properly you can disconnect the standard MAF. Options available that was recommended to me but i'm unsure about is to replace the standard O2 sensors and install new wideband Sensors …

One of these up on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300zx-Z32-TwinZ-Design-Type-2-Rear-Bumper-SWB/113155794191?hash=item1a589c650f:g:oZMAAOSwuPdbRK2E

Is the stock TT front bumper still available to buy new? Where's best to get it from?

Never done it before, and am reluctant to do so in case it becomes a horrible fiddly job that you get stuck half way through. I have seen a few vids on youtube and there seems so many bolts, clips and lines to remove, so should I leave this job to an experienced hand? Main reason for removal? 1) Have 1 bad injector which I see as a real ballache to remove as the 2 screws that hold it in place have probably been there for 20+ years that will probably end up with stripped heads and without the plenum removed will be impossible to get to! So who's been in the same boat when facing the above? and what would you recommend?

I bought Alex this today... Is it me or are these cars modelled on a Z?

https://www.copart.co.uk/lot/43154028 Shame to see another one off the road. Been over a year since one shpwed up on copart and that one was exported. Clearly not the best example but it is nice to see insurance valued it at £6000. Even insurance agrees our cars are going up

Hello Looking at buying a Z, but as i odnt know much about them I thought I would ask questions about things I dont understand before i go and look at it. I know rust is a massive issue, and just about all the ones iv seen have some form of rust or another on them, but another recurring theme seems to be the rear steering not working. Firstly, am i right in assuming that the rear steering is the HICAS system? I've just seen a Z for sale, but on previous MOT's its been noted that the rear steering does not work (although the rear wheels are held in a substantially straight line and this not affect steering). Its also been noted on another MOT of the sam…

My car has developed a bit of an annoying issue lately... It starts no problem most of the time but occasionally, I'll put the fob in the immobiliser, then go to start the car. At which point it's completely dead. The key also gets stuck in the ignition barrel. I can the leave it for a while and it'll fire up no problem, but I've lost all my radio stations and the clock has reset. Any ideas, I'm thinking an earthing issue somewhere but everything appears OK.

This sounds like a good car, no pictures yet though! 1 owner from new with only 29k miles!! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F273417083327

Is one better than the other if you take the cost(s) out of the equation?

You have all read the issues surrounding the importation of the white 300ZX for Steve Li (KnightRacer). I can now report that we have finally reached an agreement in private. Steve and I now wish to put this situation behind us and move on. - - - Updated - - - Admin can you please close this thread.

Now if you've not seen what an impressive caliper this then Google Lexus LS430 monoblock, some people say they are better than similar sized Brembo's and being monoblock look a bit different in a good way! Also seem to very popular as a Porsche upgrade: http://944hybrids.forumotion.com/t7-ls430-big-brake-swap I bought a set about a year ago, made all the enquiries with Freakyparts, (big brake specialist), to get them fitted on my Toyota Estima but didn't get the chance to do it. I am.now thinking to send Freakyparts a Zed hub, the LS430 calipers, and either a Skyline R33 GTR / 350Z brake disc or perhaps even a 355mm 370Z brake disc to get the adap…

Another dry evening session at Donington. I am gaining in confidence round the track and starting to really enjoy the thrill. Points to note.... Lots of cars on track.:yes: Lots of very powerful and FAST cars.:scared: I will let the pictures do the talking...................:biggrin:

Just received this car cover today.... Hoping it will stop the weather getting to my car this winter. It fits well and it's 4 layer construction feels like good quality. I'll update this post with my findings over the next few weeks but if anyone is interested in getting one they have 10% off at the moment: https://www.stormcarcovers.co.uk/products/stormforce-car-covers-for-nissan?variant=665923789

If you have ever removed a Zed brake caliper for replacement or painting etc, I have always got annoyed by the brake fluid that can seep from the lines and caliper, recently I sent off a set of Brembo calipers to have painted by Brake Caliper Specialists in Nottingham so had this issue again. So rather than leaving the brake pedal half pressed with a weight or cling film in the brake fluid cap to create a vacuum I have worked out a better solution that avoids brake fluid dripping and creating a mess. 1) To stop the brake calipers from leaking fluid once you remove them buy four of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M10-x-1-0p-x-20mm-FINE-PITCH-HEX-SET-BOLTS-…

Not a particularly exciting thread, but anyone with OCD might like it. :lol: Had my original wiper arms refurbished years ago and they held up well, still look great. Always fancied a set of UK wipers. Well, a driver side anyway although to make sure they matched, I had both powder coated a matte black. Main issue was to get the plastic spoiler recoated. Took a lot of sanding down to get rid of all the chips and marks that it had picked up on its previous life. I did try using filler at first but decided to spend time smoothing it down completely rather than trying to fill tiny little prone areas. Here it is in its sanded state. Coated with…

Spotted about 10.30. Your rear bumper is flapping around a bit (driver side) looks like you're missing a bolt.
