Anybody running the double-slotted nose grill on their Z? Fancy sharing some pics??

I know the calipers up front are hellish wide, but is the overall track/width the same at the front and the rear? Reason is I got a set of 17x8/9 unknown ET at the moment, concave rears, straight fronts with more backspace for caliper clearance. But I've sourced another pair of 17x9 with what looks to be same offset (they look identical from the front, concave at same angle, just hoping theres not a difference in backspacing). Assuming they cleared calipers (if not I'd run 10mm spacers all round) would they come out to the same point all the way round?

Hi all, is it possible to buy a fibreglass direct replacememnt spolier for the OEM rubber spoiler. if so, can anybody point me in the right direction ( my 300 is a 93 LWB TT) thanks Neil

This is only my opinion ofcourse , every time i see a zed with 5 spokes i just think they look so right , can i see some pics of cars with 5 spokes as i need some ideas as i will be buying some new shoes next month ! or try proving me wrong with ya multispoke pics :sweatdrop:

as above my mate is breaking a r33 gts and he has a driftworks full lockout kit on the back, will it fit my 300zx? anyone want a beer?

Im planning on a respray in the next few weeks, (providing the car passes an mot without bankrupting me). Its Red, which is growing on me, but ive never liked Red cars. The plan was to do it IBIS White (Audi R8) I think White is getting everywhere, and ive seen a zed in a newer white and i dont think it works that well. The colour is too modern for the older lines of the Zed (IMHO). I love them in Black, but i dont want black. So im looking for some help. Pictures would be good. What different Blues have been done? I like Imperial Blue, but does it need a bodykit to pull it off? Any other colour? Suggestions please...

The Z has lots of problems, nothing unsurmountable with some cash and time, but it's MOT is due at the end of April, which will cost a good £500 minimum to get it through, with the way things are in the world right now, we are really not sure whether to keep the Z or not. We love it, but it's just got so much wrong with it, plus so much we want to do with it etc. I don't want to keep it if I'm just going to keep throwing £300 here, £1000 there to keep it running until it finally dies a death, if I'm keeping it, I'm taking it off the road, bare-metalling it, stripping and re-building the engine etc, which will cost thousands and take months. I really can't decide…

Spotted a blue LWB on the M25 tonight about 6.20 at Junction 27 heading towards Enfield Anyone on here ?? :detective:

I need to upgrade my headlights and was thinking what everyone thought about these. Will they fit? and what the rules and regs on it? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-84-87-H4-ULTRA-VDX-HID-Bi-XENON-6000K-KIT-/300499463897?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item45f729eed9

You were waiting to come out of a junction when I passed in my grey zed, gave you a toot! Good looking motor! Then on my way back along the A61 a grey zed really nice!!

Been doing this over the last few weeks, dont get me wrong i would love to have the digital climate control dispaly like in my TT but the vert had the shitty manual one and it was looking worn, so i decided to fit a digital clock/date counter inside an old unit, pics are a bit rubbish but you get the idea!

Looks like the weather is on the up so time for the 19's to go back on! Looks like a different motor!:ohmy: Getting there.............

And fooking gorgeous wheels !! Parked at the beefeater/steakhouse type place at Tannochside, Opposite Smurfit, Sat 19th. Oh, must be mr Shariff !!:whistling: Looks the mutts nuts Sandy !:gunsmilie: Alan..........

Hi all, im just tinkering in the garage on the car trying to sort the one thing i cant fix, high idle! ive just warmed car up to normal temp and have a reading of 3.4 Kohms which i believe is to high and shoould be down to about 0.38 or something? is it time for a new ECU temp sendor? ive set the TPS up set base idle to 500rpm with the AAC yellow connector discomnected. when i plug it back in it jumps up to 900rpm cleaned throttle bodies cleaned air regulator and reads 75 Kohms (which is normal) reset Ecu cleaned AAC inside Im running out of what it could be? cheers James

hi all just replaced my pcv valves and hoses with some silicone ones from z1 anybody got any tips on how to change the rear one with the engine in?

Think my clutch is going to need changing. its slipping in 4th and 5th when the boost kicks in. revs go up, but no difference in speed. and no loss of control so tyres are gripping still. Jeff looks like ill be getting one of them lovely clutches off you at some point this year mate. will be taking it steady at the moment so as not to make it worse than what it is. oh well, thats me racing police cars out for the next few months lol

Hey guys, after the thread i started awhile ago asking for the bhp advice i've decided what i want to go for as the final aim. I was going to start the work now but because i want to go to japfest i've decided to delay it until june so i do everything properly and at one time only, should be finished by mid/end of july as i've only got saturdays and sundays to work on it. I will post pics here of the parts and the engine rebuilding when i start, Like i mentioned in the other thread my aim is 500+ at the flywheel . Final Spec: 615 injectors Intercoolers Pulleys Chip (will only be used until i can get ryan to remap my Ems) Aem ems Koni suspensi…

Hi, I know you get what you pay for but just wondered if any one has used or know anybody who as used one? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320650732029 cheers Mark

I've been advised that UK spec door cards can be altered to accommodate the seatbelts fitted in the doors of Jap spec cars. Anyone else carried out such a modification and, if so, how difficult is it? Cheers as ever.

guys whats the exact door speaker size for a 300zx im just going to halfords to get some cheers

I am guessing not. both are auto tt. Have a nasty speedo clock on mine that i want to swap. can i just drop the whole clock set in or do i just need to swap over the actual dial ? prefer the later as it keeps mielage etc as it should be. Thanks

Seen you turning on onto wembley way, looked like a LWB and had multi-spoke rims

for those that like their carbon fibre a guy in the states is making up these :) http://www.300zxclub.com/showthread.php?t=190724
