I think I have a hamster in my car. Every time I shut the door it squeeks, everytime I go over a bump it squeeks. Every wobble I make it squeeks. So what's the most common squeek source on the 300?

Well what do you think?? Pass :) or Fail :( Can a mod add a poll i missed it lol!!!

What a top fella JeffTT is. I bought the mines ECU from him last week for £90. Great price i thought, so get it as soon as possible to avoid missing out. Then another come ups for sale via another member. He asks £70. I thought, oh well, what a bargain. I wasn't upset, just one of those things. Went to Zedworld today, and Jeff gave me £20. I said no, but he wouldn't have it. He wasn't overpriced, its just that the other one was cheap. Even if Jeff did charge more for something, i would expect it, he is there to make money, its his job! The rest of us selling bit have other jobs to pay the bills. Plus, i got a warrenty, the other one wont have.. J…

I dnt want to buy a set if there is only a tiny indicator and tail lights, i want the whole light unot tp function, can anyone confirm this for me?? Thanks, dan

Just got back from the MOT test of my 300zx tt. FAILED!!!! Devastated to say the least,:crying: After 4 years of work with regards to new sills/floor etc' etc' I now find myself with problems that I am unsure of how to fix. I really would appreciate some help and advice please. (1) During break testing, the tester said he thought he had just blown a line at the rear, sure enough, after looking underneath there was fluid pi**ing down onto the right hand side exhaust system, heartbreaking or what. (2) Both rear top tie-bar bushes were shot, causing excessive movement from left to right. When I asked him if this was a big job he would not commit himself. (…

Are these any good folks??? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6-600cc-Fuel-injectors-Nissan-Skyline-RB25DET-300zx-TT-/120715025046?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c1b2d1a96

Hi, bit of a newbie to the whole 300zx scene so that i would ask the question before i jump in. I have seen a Red 1992 300zx Twin Turbo Manual with 49k on it. I presume it to be a LWB ( it has rear seats ) ?? It also has the 2 glass roof panels ( removable?? ). Now the car is in very good condition, Unsure if it has history present. It also has what appear to be 18'' split rims and new stainless steel exhaust. I will obviously find out more about the car but just as a rough guide what would you guys reckon this is worth?? Cheers in advance

Hey, Everyone might know about this, but if not... http://www.websure.co.uk/car/300zxretrim.htm I gave it a quick skim before doing my drivers seat, but once you start it's all pretty obvious and straight forward, though VERY time consuming. I recommend the extended LotR Trilogy to help you through it. Seriously, once you've stripped one seat and re-trimmed another; it makes you feel like Frodo had it easy!! Nice tip on the cable ties, liked that idea, very helpful. You really need Circlip pliers, without them you'll be on a week. On stripping my seat I discovered the main rear bar had snapped, it had been welded at both sides by someone…

On my zed, the drivers side outer of the targa, had developed a small bubbling, once i removed, there is an area the size of a 20p of rust, it has gone through the metal. 1. Why and how would rust attack there, as its not in the path of any of the drain tubes, or water routes. 2. is it possible to replace the outer skin of the targa, this is the metal edge directly above the window, part of the body line. looking on courtsey nissan site, it shows it as a replacement part, but at $160 each side. surely must be an easier way. Either i locate a decent targa in KH3 for a UK spec zed, or go down the filler route, which i dont really want to do. Anyone ever replaced t…

So my black zed is nearly ready for sale therefore i will put up a for sale ad for forum members before i release it to the likes of pistonheads with a higher price of course. Your thoughts and value please i am simply selling as i have 3 zeds at the moment and i only need one and with the summer just around the corner this will be a good selling point for this car.

Got a lovely Sony head unit for my birthday and have discovered two holes in the back where my speakers should be . Looking for something to fill the holes now . Can anyone recommend Some decent speakers from experience . Quite happy to stick with standard sizes . Gone are the days where I installed 7x10s in my front doors :wink:. I used to be quite partial to a Brand called Infinity . Found these so far http://www.bassjunkies.com/speakers/custom-fit-speakers/pioneer-ts-h467?cPath=3_15 http://www.bassjunkies.com/speakers/custom-fit-speakers/kicker-08ks460?cPath=3_15 Any advice is welcome . Like I say I don't want to go too much over the top .

about 12:30 today, spoiler less... parked on a driveway.

just checked all the steering + suspension components on the zed,checked lower ball joints (as suggested by jeff tt) these are all fine,track rod end are all ok, did notice the passenger side wheel looks to be towing out (noticbly by eye) even though when i have had tracking checked they say it's only out by a small amount and not enough to cause the issues i have,but advised me not to pay to have the tracking done till i replace the rear steering arms and do the lot then (christ a nissan dealer offering good advice!!!) anyway purely by accident i found it, with the steering in the centre position i have a knocking if i sharply move the steering wheel left to right and i …

Okay, I've yet to confirm it, (have borrowed a gastester), but I strongly suspect I've a blown CHG. I'm currently girding my loins for the impending onerous and no doubt costly exercise of having someone remove my engine and attend to the busted components. It may already exist, so apologies if it does but I couldn't find a comprehensive thread. So I'm after a list of jobs to attend to while the engine's out and, (where appropriate), any 'how to's' that might be available and a list of parts I'll need to buy in advance of the 'operation'. NB:- The timing belt and all associated stuff was done about 8 months ago at Zedworld. I look forward to colla…

Do you talk the talk? or walk the walk? http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v617/steveburns/?action=view&current=walkingthewalk.mp4 First ever Z Car drag eliminator in the UK at an official drag race meeting North Weald 8th May Organised Head to Head Z races with the winner going through to the next race until One is left who then would be Top Dog and truly Walks the Walks Why not come along and take part in this for if it is a success the strip organisers at North Weald might let us do the same each year

Fell across this site http://www.fuelly.com/about/ and (as you can see from the little widget thing in my sig) signed up. It's free. It's a nifty way to keep track of your mpg and get it in your sig! Plus it does other stuff as well, there's a mobile site so you can update live. The one thing they haven't got right yet is they put both Z31 and Z32 300ZXs in the same model. If you decide to open an account a) select other for the model and then write in 300ZX Z32 and b) email the organisers to point out that Z31 and Z32 should be kept different! There you go - an easy way to respond to all those posts which ask about mpg! http://www.fuelly.com/car/nissan/300zx

So what is for sale then?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/300zx-Z32-Part-/270740208270?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f095fba8e

Does anyone here have lightweight wheel nuts and what kind? I was going to get some D1 spec or Rays wheel nuts in black but wanted some opinions first. Some people say they are a bad idea being aluminium and can be dangerous. Any info appreciated
