So as part of my engine rebuild I started to work on the valves and after giving them a good clean I noticed that a lot of them are very badly pitted . My thought are rather than replace the few than need done i'd just get the whole lot replaced. The below set on concept is what I was planning to get but wondered if any extra work was needed to the block they fit into. Also if anyone else has any recommendations. https://conceptzperformance.com/ferrea-f1848p-f1850p-intake-exhaust-valve-set-1mm-oversize-nissan-300zx-90-96-z32-f1848p-f1850p-kt_p_869.php

Looking for people’s thoughts on the following, and real world exeperinces. My new set of Equip wheels are currently finished in silver anodise. With 2 of the wheels needing a refresh, and two needing two new lips for the rears to fill the arches, I can either have them all anodised again, which will give me a relative easy time when it comes to cleaning and maintaining them. Alternatively have them highly polished and stock up on wheel wax and elbow grease!

Hi all, I have a mirror folding button on my zed and when I press it only the drivers side folds in meaning I have to fold the passenger by hand...however when I press the button to open them out they BOTH open and not just the drivers like you might expect...is this normal?

Hi All, My Zed has decided to start cutting out randomly at while in Neutral or Park. Also when I select drive, the revs dip and occasionally it cuts out. So i decided to let it tick over and roughly every 30 seconds or so, the revs climb slightly then go a little erratic and then the engine stops. Has anyone seen this before? Cheers all. Hope youre all enjoying the sun! Dave

hi guys just had my windscreen washer pump fail, so i looked on courtesy nissan and got the part number 28920-30P10 which is for 4 seater front, however i asked nissan genuine who have advised me it's part number 28920-30P15 which lists as a rear washer pump for something else and is £20 cheaper, do the U.S. cars have headlamp wash? my car is a jdm so guessing nissan genuine have got it right using my chassis number but if anyone knows for sure please do let me know. got to wait 6 weeks to get it from japan anyway.

My spoiler was damaged and I have removed the spoiler only to find there is a large open slot, I have seen the cars without spoilers and imagined it would just be metal when the spoiler was removed. I was shocked to find this opening. I am not sure what to do now, wondered if anyone can help. Thanks

Hi all, 1990 UK TT here. I'm aware these beasts have their headlight gremlins, but I think this may be a unique case. I'm borderline just rewiring all the lights myself and having manual switches cut into the dash. The headlights have never worked right since I got the car, and I've cleaned connections up by the headlights themselves. So this is what happens when I change the lights settings (might need to click 'download image' after clicking the link to make it appear right): Are the fuses in the engine bay labeled as LH = LH of engine bay, or LH = nearside/passenger side? Also the fog light relay has been removed. The RH headlight fuse looks f…

Okay, so I understand the furore around Turbo Timers, however, I am looking for the instructions to use (not install), the Blitz FATT Turbo Timer, Ive searched and searched and cannot find the correct manual, If you can help, please post up, or drop me an email using sayersn@outlook.com, The manual must be for the FATT model only, not the FATT DC, Advance, or other variant. Thanks Sayers

The days of the petrol engine are closing faster than ever. Our time is not up just yet, but things are changing quickly. Has anyone any thoughts on the suitability of a 300ZX (shell) as the basis for turning into a well performing EV. Technology is moving so fast and it would be great to see some classic cars that would otherwise go to scrap born again into EV's with performance to match. I know that some really old classics have been changed over to electric and there are companies like electric classic cars but I dont think these are that useable every day. I am keen to explore if a Z could be turned into a practical everyday EV or a Lithium battery powered monster. Th…

Guys my car isnt running great and i am looking to buy a cheap pair of spark plugs just rule out the spark plugs i have in my car being at fault,Could you guys recommended a set from euro car parts that will do, https://eurocarparts.com/en_ie/car-parts?gclid=CjwKCAjw06LZBRBNEiwA2vgMVTElPsBSjOZRA_WnA80hSoIdMAAF-MzUC6ieUBjrLW4Lx9FPY3nBIxoCtkEQAvD_BwE

The video below is a heart breaker to any petrol head, why the government thought this was a good idea is anyones guess, but years after the scrappage scheme ended now the storage costs of the cars must of out weighed the benefit to the new car sales. and yes some 300zx in there too !!

I think there’s a bug going around regarding enthusiasm and the Z’s. I’ve been push and pushing to get my project off the ground and collecting spares as and when I can but right now I have no motivation to get in with it or make the time for it. Whether it’s because I’m getting overworked and exhausted at work due to staff shortages and too much to do. Joys of being an engineer I guess. I’m torn between stepping away from the car for a few months and then going back to it to see if I can reignite the passion. Or completely selling everything I have. Which I am sure will make a few of you rather happy given what I’ve collected in the last year or so. …
