Hi Guys Recently i put up a few bits for sale including my Monza High Level Spoiler, After deciding not to sell it after all as i was getting another Zed, someone became very interested in it and i promised to let him know if i changed my mind..well guess what.. So if its you drop me a pm... Rich

Need your help pal, getting me zed back on road for this summer and need urgent advice from someone i trust. My mob *********** thanks jaylox

i think i may need a new injector or im thinking of selling her :no:. I recently set my timing to 15 tdc and the next day i had a misfire. its coming from the passenger side front cylinder. check plugs and coils and all fine. swapped over etc. when i took off that injector wire engine stays the same. so im guessing its the injector, tried cleaning up the connections but still the same. im starin to get sick of sorting stupid wee problems out!!

Been seraching for these around Z1motorsports and some sites back in the US but shipping is way too expensive and also customs; anyone can suggest me some stores for Z parts that have them in the UK? I think shipping will be much more cheaper and also avoiding customs. Will surely appreciate it. Thank you

Do you think they are really this bright :shock: I live in a pitch black area and with rear tints it takes forever to reverse down my road so these will be ideal. but would they be to bright and dazzel anyone behind? but i only reverse at work and my drive really and on a sunny day they should be ok to see if im out and about so what do you think? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Super-Bright-HID-LED-Reverse-Lights-Nissan-300ZX-Z32-/290522914605?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43a483df2d

ok im fed up thinking about me zed and its problems so moving on im going to go see sandys series 4 over the weekend. good news is whatever zed i go for il have a blank canvas to work with so fire some ideas at me on what i could do. what colour to paint it ect bear in mind i like over the top on off ideas. trying to get back in a better mood lol

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2704071.htm Seen this a few days ago and liked it but I now see it is sold any body on here bought a new zed:biggrin:

hi, due to a baby on the way it looks like i might have to do the unthinkable and get rid of my zed, its a 93 lwb import tt manual, 80,000 miles, imported in 2006, when i bought it i was told it had a performance ecu and the injectors had been upgraded, single exit exhaust pipe, is also has some sort of induction kit on (greddy i think) 18'' alloys with good tyres, targa roof, interiors in really good condition, the prob is its been parked up for the last few months so theres no tax or test on it, its also been painted in matt black (not everyones cup of tea) and has a littlepatch of rust on the back pass arch, hasnt gone all the way thru just on the outer skin, engine ha…

My garage has got the gearbox in a few pieces(!!) to recondition it. The Nissan dealers are denying any knowledge of 300zx parts which presents a bit of a problem... Anyone got a sensible source of gearbox parts - preferably OEM but otherwise aftermarket would be fine. I've found Drivetrain.com in the US who seem to offer a full rebuild kit are there any others in the UK (or even the US)? Car is a '91 J spec TT 2+2 . Many thanks.

Hi all, Ive got round to fitting my alloys and noticed that the Brembo calipers are about 2-3mm from the spokes. Will this be a problem? Ive ssen calipers really close to alloys before but ive been told the calipers will expand when hot but by how much? Cheers Dan

Hi, OK, I’m getting a crunch when changing down from 5th to 4th , this only started a couple of days ago. It’s on the motorway and after being in 5th for a bit (particularly after being under load) if I try to gear down it crunches, I’ve tried other gears straight from 5th (obviously going slow enough to use them) but it’s the same thing. I’m assuming it’s the selectors and that they aren’t quite working correctly. I’ve booked it in to have the gearbox oil checked and toped up (possibly with MT-90). Has anyone else had the same issue? My search found a few other “crunch” problems but nothing exactly the same as mine. Cheers.

Hi guys my 300 has been off the road for 18 months and during this time fitted a new speed sensor as mine was knackard seized up solid (No pas or speedo). I have now got it road legal again pas seemed to work but still no speedo, And after just 80 miles the pas seems to work intermitantly or not at all. Seems to work fine when first started? Car wants to stall sometimes too when stopping from speed any help would be greatly received.:hammer:

Why do people make the schoolboy error of getting a second hand engine fitted, instead of getting theirs rebuilt! eg. the bottom end needs a rebuild, so i will drop an old secondhand Z engine in that i have no idea about its history and think that all my problems are solved forever! whats the difference in price? :tongue_smilie:

seen it twice now Red Z heading up Strawberry Bank in Sunderland :)

I cant seem to find any 2nd hand , and tbh I cant afford 120 quid right now , I didnt think they wer that expensive tbh! anyone know of anything ?

can these be split as I was thinking of tinting the top2 red and want to do the 300 zx sighn body colour !
