The way she moves, the way she drives, the way she looks, the way she feels. No other car will ever make me feel the same as this car does. over 20 years later I still drool for your timeless lines. You will be my love until I die. I will NEVER sell this car!!!! http://www.facebook.com/?sk=inbox#!/profile.php?id=100000818691211

Just received these badges and stereo blanking plate from Rich, top quality items, what do you guys think of them?.......:thumbup1:

Likley to be breaking a Z and wondered if there is a guide anywhere for prices for parts?

You dont see one of these every day :drool:First time I have ever seen a 1999 Version S Slicktop very very nice http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan%20car/nissan/300zx/6591030/

just wanted to share my experience with you all..... was pulling out of a garage by me here, and just as i was going to pull out, i saw a red beemer, 318 i think, pull out sideways onto the road! so i thought, being the decent upstanding citizen that i am, that i better show him a real car. followed him down to the byass (a483) then soon as we hit the sliproad i FLEW past. and to be fair the guy gave me the thumbs up :-) what was slightly worrying was that i didnt fly past quite as quickly as i thought i would lol. but at least the lad respected my authority lol :-) just makes for a stronger case for getting the old girl on the dyno to see what shes reall…

Silly question but whilst doing an ECU check yesterday the potentionmeter screw broke whilst trying to turn it back can i still drive it like this? if so for how long as havent got time to remove ECU to turn screw back

Hi mate. You asked for a BMC in my breaking thread. It was sold, but is now up for sale as it was for a left hand drive car. Let me know if you still need it. Cheers

Just put a new clutch in now trust bearing makes a small whistle sound as you release the pedal .It was a brand new koyo bearing fitted .Any ideas thanks taff.:confused1:

Folks Where can I find the chassis number? I thought it would be easily visibile in the engine bay but couldn't seem to find it! Checked the doors too but nope... Anyone know?? Need to provide to bodyshop so they can source a replacement panel. Cheers Vig

quick question, once i get my zed sorted ill be looking to try to get a bit more bhp out of it i was thinking of using a jwt chip and boost jest, but my question is could i not use an accurate boost controller like a profec B, instead of boost jets? ill be fitting cooler plugs before i do anything, and a good boost gauge.

Hey Guys, This guy local is selling his na, pretty impressive price for mileage and history. http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/nissan-300zx-fairlady-very-good-condition-very-cheap-must-go-very-soon/78168591 Hope it helps someone!

My car needs the bodywork sorting. It will be getting done soon, but i dint know which way to go. Either, it will be as my sig pic, but with a standard 89 spec spoiler, and maybe some smooth side skirts.. Or Standard! Ive got the Standard Uk front bumper and grill panel. Just dont know wgich way to go. 90% sure its staying Red...

im going to be upgrading my main beam bulbs shortly . firstly im looking at up rating the bulbs to about 100 watts with a nice white light to match up with my HIDs . secondly im looking to do the mod that allows the full beam to flash whilst the HIDs stay on so as to avoid the warm up period with the HIDs on swap over . are there likely to be any issues with the wiring overloading with this set up . i know the full beams are only going to be illuminated for at most a couple of minutes at a time and mostly no more than a few seconds . just wondered if anybody else has a similar set up and whether you have put something like an in line fuse or similar to protect the wiring …

Ok, so my Z seems to be fixing itself - and it's getting a bit weird now! Firstly, the prop shaft vibration seems to have disappeared after the car had stood for 6 weeks, but that might just be me - and it'll more than likely come back. But the next two things are odd:- I went to move the car a while back and the brake pedal dropped to the floor. I very carefully drove it around for a bit but nothing changed. We came to the conclusion that the master cylinder was shot so I started looking for a replacement. Work wasn't going too well so I decided to shelve the car again for a bit. Until last week. I had a car in for valeting (I help a mate out who owns …

Hi guys. Just been to see a uk zed and it has a jubilee clip over a plastic bag on the end of a pipe next to master cylinder blanking it off.Whats that all about? Cheers!

Saw you parked up by the pier, tried to pull alongside in our Puma but the rozzers were right behind us. Followed you round to the bottom of Elm Grove but you turned off and we didn't wanna freak you out, nice looking car tho

Just want to put my mind at rest. I'd sold the standard suspension from my breaker for £50. Went and meet but he didn't want them as the gaitors were split and he said it would fail an mot. Is he right?

Can anyone recommend a good alternator belt for a 1990 tt It's a jap spec engine so I understand its a different size to a UK one I'm using an aluminum underdrive pully that makes the belt sounds a little noisy Any idea what size I need and a good make to use Thanks

Have been looking at the rear arches, and remembering how they sometimes used to foul the wheels over bumpy ground. i dont want to go down the wide arch kit route as lets face it its been done plenty already. So was wondering what drift style arches there are available that could be used to give more clearance. My favourite idea at the moment is to see if i could make some out of a set of cut up front wings, that way the shape would suit the lines of the car perfect with the front. Anybody ever done this or seen one done??? And could it be done???

Hi Dave, best i could do with basic paint, my PSP has ran out lol. The dimensions incase you cant see them, w 11" D 6 & 1/4" The toe eye 3&1/2" and 4&1/2"

Hi All, My car is in the trimmers this week getting the seats and interior panels recovered but we've hit a stumbling block. The trimmer has done the seats and some of the interior but he can't get the material off the door cards and dosn't think the tweed will hold the glue to stick the new white vinyl on top as it needs to be streched. Has anyone re-covered the door cards and how do you overcome this? This is pretty urgent as i need to pick the car up on Thursday after work and its a bank holiday weekend. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance Peter

Where is best to buy. Thinking of getting them all.

hi there all, I'm on my iPad and can't search as the menu don't like iPad. Can somebody search for misfire on idle and post the relevant links if any please? Cheers, Rob

I think they should fit pretty well with a 9" rim and offset of 30 ? Just wondering how they would look, anyone got pics ?
