I know this seems utterly childish - but I love the look of this car! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300zx-Z32-fairlady-auto-/180633719069?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a0e9bd11d In a time where everything is clean and stock to be cool, this just harks back to 90's street racer cool.

hi, I've got a black wire connected to the drivers side of the gear box with a 14mm bolt. The other end is not connected!! I'm guessing it's an Neutral cable but will it make a difference being disconnected as it is? Cheers

If I had the dosh I would buy it ! http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2566445.htm

Sounds daft but I'm not 100% on what this is (as relates to gearbox). I'm stuck between a brass bushing that goes on the crankshaft? or a clutch release bearing? I'm not a mechanic so, unless I've had to deal with the problem on my zed, I don't know :blushing:

after a brilliant night with hellraiser and z32bolt talking about various different things and about manual conversions i was just wandering if someone could post up a check list of exactly what i would need to do the conversion please cheers :)

After moving my pump "POT" to the rear of the engine bay and extending the pipes its been doing a little whining!! I`ve filled it up again to the level and when i turn the car off its overflowing from the cap?? any suggestions why its doing that? cheerZ

ok after getting the ok from the other half to get new seats (the ones steve was selling but i decided not to go for) called my mate to get me a quote on getting mine retrimmed £500. im thinking just black leather with orange stitching and fairlady Z stitched into the seats what do you think? lets see pics of seats you have

It's not a zed question, but was hoping more people may see it here! I've just done some work for a friend on a Mk2 Clio, it failed on a bunch of things, including off side brake light out, and centre high level not working. Now, the centre high level is a sealed LED unit, which is 30 odd quid + VAT, if the other 2 brake lights are working, will it still fail? Is it a case of 'if it is there it has to be working'? Can I just take it out and leave a hole there for the MOT? Cover it up with gaffer tape? It's booked in for tomorrow, just wondering if it'll pass! Cheers, Tudor...

Well the time had come.:bored: I decided to replace my dash because it was broken in places and started to peel. So out it came.... looks worse than it was. Quite easy really!!!:2guns:

As above, cant remember what type it is, is it H1 or H3? need to know as Artztogo needs to get the correct one. he has a japspec, i know about the H3 mod, but would rather just get the correct hid kit straight off.

Where is the fuel pump relay located in a 2+2? Was looking at this guide but it seems to have conflicting info. http://www.pexcom.com.au/z32cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.368

Hi, When i turn my ignition on to the 2nd click all the warning lights come on as normal except the seat belt one, start the car and they all go out as they should, but when i put my seat belt on the warning light stays on. Basicly does the opposite of what it should. Any ideas? Thanks Brian.

My window won't operate at all and I'm led to believe that this is a common 'Z' problem. The motor and switch have been checked and appear ok so is the problem with the regulator? If so, can it be rectified or is a new one required. Cheers!

OK.. Im not the richest guy out there, but after spending months turning this over in my head I'm on the brink of sending a very large sum of money for this item: To me it's the perfect 300zx spoiler, there's other cheaper options I COULD go for.. but I know in myself I wouldn't feel 100% happy. So the question is, is it worth me shelling out over 800 pounds for one of these? It's the only way I can get it, to get veilside jpn to custom make me one and ship it over (lead time of 4 months if shipped by air and 6 months by sea (inc. 2 months creation time)... I know I'd be delighted with it.. but it's as much as you could get some 18x10 bbs lm's or …

Noticing GT28's can be had for reasonable money. a) would it be worth fitting them over stock? b) I assume the only supporting mods needed are bigger intercoolers, bigger injectors (what size?), 5 bolt elbows and a tune up? c) if running them on an otherwise stock engine what kind of power and torque increases can I expect?

I've fitted a Apexi AVC-R which was bought used and fitted on the weekend. I had to bring the car to work today because I've got brake disc run-out after fitting the K-sports (but that's another story!) and on my way in I put my foot down at 80mph in 5th and as soon as the rev counter hit 4000rpm the rev counter would just shoot up and the car would sound as if it was over reving, which i'm suspecting is over boosting? It seemed fine through the other gears. Does anyone know the settings for the AVC-R so I can set it to just run the cars standard boost/psi or do you think it may be that there is a setting that needs to be adjusted that changes the rev band in top gea…

Hi guys, Just wondering what the small reservoir is just to the right of the brake fluid res? Is it brake fluid too? cheers

I need to get my car to Zedworld. Im around 5 miles from them. My usual recovery man wants £50 to do it. Is it me or is that a little excessive? The front bumper got damaged when he got the car from Bristol for me too. Ive gone much futher for £30 in the past, i know the fuel has gone up but still... Anybody know of somewhere cheap?
