OK, because my last Z was a N/A and it was reliable, still quick in the grand scale of things and turned heads I'm really tempted to look along those lines now but.....if I look at TT's what do I need to look out for as far as faults are concerned?

Guy's, Just a quick question, Is an Exhaust from a N/A direct fit to a UK TT? Thanks in advance for your help. Mike

Hi guy,s. I have just found this http://www.z32photoguide.com/index.html Check it out, really informative Cheerz Chris

Bad luck befell a zed owner today, travelling to us for an MOT a mistake, slippy road surface or both and seconds later one zed sitting odd on the passenger side and the n/s front wheel buried hard into the kerb. A recovery truck ride to the workshop (nice truck) and we soon had it on the four poster. The wheel looks particlar sorry for itself, in the flesh as it were it looks horrid the alloy has been eaten away by the kerb, if that did not look bad enough the inner side of the wheel is worse! still can not work out how the tyre has any air in it? As your look more the damage just goes on, the lower arm having been severly twi…

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has fitted one of these? How easy or difficult is it? Any advice, guidance or links on how to it greatly appreciated. James

Just wanted to say that i am well impressed with 2Fast2Cool (ebay seller) I placed an order for a set of Japspeed decat pipes which incidently were cheaper than Japspeed themselves?? I placed the order at about midnight on Sunday so they would not have processed th eorder till monday morning at the earliest. The delivery was less than £9. The pipes arrived the following morning (tuesday) before 11am! now that is what i call good service. I also emailed them on Monday to confirm order etc, and they were excellent in getting back to me swiftly. When i opened the box... they look lush and seem to be good quality for the money. I am a happy bunny. Fitting them…

wonder how much it will fetch? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-Uncut-Nissan-300ZX-Z32-Titanium-Key-Blank-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem19c3572c70QQitemZ110651452528QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_500wt_1182

Just MOT'd the new Zed and.............passed. Flew through in fact, not one problem! The tester said it was the best he's ever tested :D I'm pretty damn happy now! I've never owned a car that hasnt failed it MOT! Love my Zed :wub: :)

Well not that a lot of you knew that i'd gone, but i'm now a Zed owner Again. It feels much nicer that the MR2 i drove around in my hiatus. So what sort of beast have i got now i hear you ask, after selling my TT 400 Bhp (sort of) with 2" lowered suspension and 14psi boost jets...Well its a N/A std car with some replacement exhaust. So i know have to start going through the motions of adding steering wheel, glow dials, LED display, Car PC, and the list goes on. Just wish i hadn't sold all the parts of the ZED i had stocked up, could really do with them...never mind. Only problem at the moment as i see it, is the speed sensor switch is not working properly, so the car…

Hi been running the z for a week now and have got a small problem . When i accelerate hard from a stop the engine stumbles for about a second or 2 then it goes like a rocket no other problems other than that she revs nice and clean otherwise any ideas guys ? (weak mixture?).cheers.

Hi, Is it a big job to swap the water pump, I take its ran off the cam belt? Thanks Mark

Got my spoiler back from bodyshop and fitted it over the weekend black strip and decals fitted.:thumbup:next is 99 spec rear lights and clear repeaters and rear side bumper lights. and guess where the 99 spec rear lights are comming from

Is this another E-bay special..... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-NISSAN-300ZX-FAIRLADY-IMPORT-ALLOY-WHEELS-5x114-/130428809328?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item1e5e29b070 Apparently they are for "import only as they don't clear the UK spec brakes!" I thought UK/import cars had the same brakes - maybe he means n/a cars only, as the earlier TTs had different brakes.....?? Richard:confused1::detective:

never owned an auto before this one but when i really give it some stick it feels like im experincing clutch slip except obviously there isnt one anyone care to enlighten me?

Fitting a pair of tubular headers to a non turbo zed sounds like a much lesser job than a the same job on a twin turbo...yes it is easier but still Nissan do like their small spaces that's for sure. The headers below were recovered from a breaker of ours a few week ago and here they are ready to fit. Of course before fitting among many things including the exhaust, starter motor and old standard headers needed removing, here after a few choice words the old manifolds are removed. So onwards and the new manifolds are fitted and the view from above is limited.......... ...but from below is more satisfying, just the exhaus…

I hav an import zed and i need a n/s front caliper. Hav they got a model name and r they alloy? Is there different ones?????????? I need one

Well, she now has front and rear brake pads replaced, fog light sorted out so its actually visible, number plate bulbs changed so now light up lol, exhaust pasted up for now until i can sort out a more perminant fix. And MOT on thursday, i think if she is going to fail on anything it will be welding work needed

Hi My 300zxtt has just come back from the garage with all the problems it went in with, does anyone know a competent mobile mechanic or garge that can fix it? I have money, which for some reason puzzles garage mechanics! I have had this problem time and time again with a JZA70 Mk3 supra and a Rev3 Turbo MR2 they always come back from the garage with the same problems that they went in for and usualy my wallet would be £500 the lighter. Im in Preston Lancashire and i've heard of ZedWorld but would like to see if theres anywhere nearer. Thanks in advance Leigh

I have some Black Brembo Calipers from a R33 which i bought from a member a while back. Now im a little lost as to what discs to fit to the front. I have seen around some discs, but they are 280mm, 298mm and 310mm. I am not using relocation brackets as these should fit straight onto the standard caliper brackets on the hub. So the question is what disc is the correct ones (for the front)?

Little bit of an issue here [N.IRELAND] with MOT and Speedo regulation. Basically imports here have to be dual marked as in MPH and KMH, were in the UK you can MOT the car on single display and just put an MPH sticker over the KMH. My problem is, I dont want to mess about with the OEM white dials in my Version S cars, so I was thinking of getting an older cluster to pop in there to get it through MOT and then put the original back in. Being its a 99 car, what year of used dash will work? I'm thinking 95? Or will an earlier AUTO dash work? Also anyone got one that has the dual markings already on it?

As above, can the TT fall into safety boost with the stock boost controller solenoids disconnected?? (using electronic boost controller)
