Im persuming that 350z wheels will fit 300zx's?

Had the car a little over 12 months now so thought i'd do a quick highlight thread of the work I have done to it in it's first year. Not very exciting but at least I can see why I have no money left!!

Thanks for my new rad, its lovely :thumbup1:

maybe the same one as the last post, but ian (300zx_666) and i both waved at you from our zeds not too far from uttoxeter we were in a 3 car convoy, with a silver gt4 in front, we both had our roofs off and gave you a wave :punk:

This looks very tidy and not a bad price http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1993-NISSAN-300-ZX-N-A-SWB-MANUAL-T-BAR-BLACK-RARE-/290563446092?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item43a6ee554c

Ok been looking at some wheels 17">18" can the same sized wheel be used on Front and Rear ? and does any one know what the Rear and Front off Set it i do know the Stud is 114x5 but the other not sure Thanks Mark

Had my slickie and black shorty in for MOT last weekend Slickie passed first time ( i changed a steering gaiter the day before as i saw it was split) Black shorty failed on steering gaiter split :lol: fitted the new one today and that now 2 MOT passes in one week :) Either i have a good garage or thats good preventative maint personally i think it is both :)

john bell me pls thanks neil

White Zed high rear spoiler by the Electrium hotel 17:00 today

stupid question I know but want to make shore it's right how do you properly check the levels

losing the will to carry on with my zed.......i have changed the standard air filter for a Hks mushroom type one, now the blooxy thing struggles to fire up, has a huge flat spot when i first press the throttle and to top it all off whilst stuck in traffic today it cut out and refused to restart, what do i need to do now to get around this latest in a very very long list of issues .... thanks Neil sayers

Car went there today smoking and mis-firing all over the place. And now as if by magic she now runs great. My old man said on the way back home she was really smooth and the fuel consumption is better too, bonus! Not got the full list of what was wrong but I do know it had a couple of boost leaks. More importantly it was my Dads first experience of the 300ZX community and what a great one to have, he met a few of you guys there he said and has nothing but good things to say about the whole day. Many thanks to Jeff and his team and to you guys who made him feel welcome, I think he is scouring the web for a TT manual now LOL. By the way Jeff, don't be to…

anyone in scotland up for givving me a hand doing this during the week iv built a new hinged floor in the boot just need help with the speaker sub and amp enclosure.also iv got my materials for retrimming most of the parts i can do myself just not sure how to do the door cards cheers in advance

I need to take the doors off. I cant remove the wings as sideskirts moulded to wings. With the door open there looks to be enough room to get a socket in there. Worth a try? What im concerned about is I will get the doors off but not be able to put them back.

After lots of changing my mind about what brake setup to get I have finally got a good deal on a front Brembo set from a R33 GTR - paid £300 which I thought was fair :hyper: Discs are corroded but no real wear lip so should be able to skim those on my brake lathe at work. Just need some pads - any recommendations? Not doing track work just a good fast road pad needed.

afternoon guys. a quick question what would happen if i remove these two vacuum pipes from the carbon canister and blank them off at the intake pipe and the throttle body? the reason why im asking is that when i swapped my injectors im having a couple of running issues after i removed these vac pipes. when warm it can take a couple of turns of the engine to start, it will run rough for a few seconds then it seems to clear and run ok, (pointing me to a fuelling issue?) generally after a hard drive. as i havent done a complete carbon canister removal would this have caused the problems. i have been round the connectors and they all seem ok as i cl…

While im healing up cant do many jobs on the zed but thought id try some easy bits, so need to tint my rear centre panel to match the crystal lear rear lights, Hows best to tint them?? ive got some tinting spray but tbh its shite so was wondering if i should buy some tinting film or even a very light coat of black paint?? Ive got the led fogs and reverse lights installed so still want to be ab able to see them. Just want the centre panel to match a the rear lights a little better. any suggestions thanks Craig

wired up my el panels in the kick plates and under the footwells looks nice aint taken pics yet though,wanted to run all four off an led switch so could turn them off was having a mare as light on switch wouldnt work even with cont live feed so just went for normal setup after,may try again when got time.

Hey all, anyone got fitting instructions for a central front mounted intercooler? Cheers Guys

Im hopeing to sell off a few of my spares i have for my suzuki sj and im hopping ill have around £300 to spend on my zed! I have done belt and service and all seems to be running well at the mo so what would you guys and girls buy for £300? PS I will be doing wheels and suspension when i sell my suzuki.

The car is off to Zedworld tomorrow, woo hoo. Hopefully Jeff can work his magic over it and the car will be working as it should do. Only problem is I won't be there with it, my old man has the joy of being there early in the morning as I'm in California !!!!!!!!!! If you see a blue JDM TT near there give him a wave as he will be leaving home about 5am ha ha. On the plus side for me I will be going to the Powertrix factory in San Diego to spend some money.

I'm after some ideas as to where the best place to install my blitz EBC valve doodah and run the piping from the tubs and actuators. Where/how have you installed yours?

Anyone know the weight for the V30DETT, with manifolds and turbo's?

Hi, right going to get the clutch out this weekend to see the state of it, I have got the car up already on car ramps, question is will the car be higher enough to drop the box? Also Iam sure Vodkashot on here give me a little list of how to sdrop the box but can not find the post, so if you see the vods give me the instructions lol. cheers Mark

Well its been a long time coming but on the premise that everything is as it should be and there isn't a spanner in the works I pick up brian's pentroof zed tomorrow. Probably the most droll topic created on these boards but I'm excited and thought I'd share :) . the fuel bill driving it from kent back home to sheffield may be a downer on festivities though ha
