Just wondering.does anybody know what the best oils to buy for the gear box and the lsd for manual tt. thanks:blink:

Red UK TT GBZxxxx in mint condition 1800hrs Cutters Wharf Belfast sitting parked everybody was stopping to look at it:thumbup:

just bough some chrome interior door handles for the zed off the terrano was a bit pricey but£43 deliverd should look better than the tacky plastic ones :) rich

Finally pulled the Zed out of the garage and her winter hibernation this afternoon :thumbup1: New battery, oil & filter change....................... started first time in 6 months:clap: Fitting lock out bar (Thanks again to Baz:bow:) tomorrow and up to Jeff @ Zedworld next weekend :thumbup::punk: I'm like a kid @ Christams time can't wait to drive her up to Jeff next Satuday....... COME ON! :dance::D

Anybody planning on going to Santa Pod tomorrow? I want to go, but i dont fancy it on my own. Would be nice to see a few other Zed's there! Maybe have a club race down the strip :p

My clutch has started to slip ever so slighty under high torque so im looking into options. I have a twin plate exedy clutch and flywheel for a TT sitting around doing nothing and would be good to use this rather than buy a NA one. To fit a TT clutch on a NA engine and box what will need to be done? I presume the flywheel bolts will be the same and i have heard that the bell housing needs to be modified slighty. Anyone have any pics or details on this as i understand the internals on the gearbox are the same just a different bell housing. Of course at the same time im going to do the usual maint to the box and fit one piece prop while its all off :) Cheers f…

i hate jap belts on the doors and want to fit uk ones especially as i have just got a very spiffing uk interior which has the holes for the seatbelts in the rear quarter trim, if humphrey sends me a set of uk belts will they bolt straight in? and it wont go anywhere the front doors? anyone done this? and do uk doors still have that stupid bit that pokes up on the doors which is always in the bloomin way when the windows are down.

When I was looking for a Z about 18 months ago, this was available. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1994-NISSAN-300-ZX-TWIN-TURBO-BLUE-RARE-SWB-FAIRLADY-/290549606069?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item43a61b26b5 Like mine this had a decal on the bonnet and I remember considering doing a manual conversion on this. The number plate is very similar to mine also :wink:

Very Strnge bumper for a TT and whu is the engine pic so dark ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/94-NISSAN-300ZX-OVER-400-BHP-MANUAL-62K-MLS-2006-IMPORT-/200589112990?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2eb40af69e

I'm in the process of removing the old engine and autobox to replace with new engine and manual box. I was wondering how easy it would be to use the old autobox rad to cool the engine oil instead of the little one built into the coolant rad? Is it worth doing? and if not can I remove the tranny rad and increase the airflow over the coolant one? Or should I just leave alone?

Hi can anyone advise the best place to get replacement clips that hold the bonnet support arm? Also the more I look the more screw fixings and the like I have missing. Been trawling the net but cant find anyone who does them.

I'd be grateful for your help. I need a bulb for the brake light on my 89-spec spoiler. Unfortunately the writing on the bulb is really hard to read and can only make out 12V21CP(13W). Searched the net but can't seem to find an equivalent.

basically my prop bearing is going and instead of just fitting a new bearing i was wondering about these?? http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_11&products_id=3298 or http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_11&products_id=1330 what everyones thought and has anyone had one fitted??

As ive just order this for it Wooohooo

Sorry guys, another thread about this topic . i used the search but didn't really quite understand it . I've been looking at various options, doolz, twin k&n and twin greddy filters. The doolz i think you need a dummy mas and im wondering if the greddy ones are okay ? as i think you just fit them where the single one goes without anything else or do you still need a dummy mas? just wondering if both greddy filters would be okay for 500+ and if the maf would be okay for that? i've also got an aem ems . thanks in advance : )

I want to replace my rear fog light lenses with clear ones, there must be some car that has the same lenses in clear for reverse lights surely? Anybody know where I can get some or know what car may have these clear lenses? Thanks, Dan

Where is the best place to by genuine 99 spec rear lights?? Cheers Mike

I was cruising along in my other car this afternoon when I saw in the distance a gleaming white bullet coming up behind me. As it got closer, I realised it was a Z and it looked absolutely stunning; more so as it shot past! Did it belong to anyone on here? Had a 99-spec spoiler. A339 in Basingstoke, around 4pm Friday.

This is my old Z, the guy who bought it an now hill climbs it.

while i have the door cards off, (planning on putting back together tomorrow) i wonder why my passenger door is not locking on the central locking? and why my windows are slow going up and down, im crap wit electrical stuff i have absolutley no idea, if anyone can help with a few pointers that would be great, many thanks:rockon:

probably a re-post. apparently this was a prototype from nissan in 1985. It had the VG30DETT engine in it. Not so keen, im glad it looks how it does now. (wikipedia stuff) First Unveiled at the 1985 Frankfurt Autoshow, the MID4 was a concept car designed by Nissan to originally go on sale in the mid-late 1980s. Nissan had aimed the MID4 to compete with European supercars from Porsche and Ferrari. The MID4 boasted a wide array of technology and features that would eventually find its way into other Nissan production cars. The MID4 prototypes would evolve into the MID4 II, though unfortunately it would never be put into production. what w…

I just bought these, what do you think......Are they worth £220.00? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180644119901&ssPageName=STRK:MEBOFFX:IT

Can anyone see a problem in doing this , i know they should be 35 profile but i,ve got a perfect pair of Potenzas that are like new and it seems a shame not to use them . On the left is a 255/35/18 and on the right is 245/40/18 , what,s 10mm between friends :blushing: Not much in it

I,m going to be fitting a new black perspex tailgate trim with the brake light in , now i prefer like the look of a led brake light compared to the crappy four bulb Nissan one which when lit looks patchy cos of the bulb arrangment. I got a damaged led one off a Merc and removed the rest of the broken red lens Tried it against the remains of my old trim to see if it could be fitted and it looks like it,ll fit with alot of trimming The tailgate trim has two mounting bolts where the light is so i wanted to keep these intact so i removed everything around them and the red lens that,s inside the trim , a bit of fettling with a belt sander and in it went …
