Looking to replace the damaged and leaky pipe in the middle of the picture, it appears to be the main supply line from the block to the heater matrix, it has a large hole in it just after the it t's off. If anyone has the part number handy it would would help. Kindest James

SteerIng goes heavy now n then seems tojudder from heavy to norm while I'm steering any ideas any1?

Is there any other way to reset the safety boost fault code from the ECU apart from Conzult? I've bypassed the Det sensor just need the code clearing, but the battery off for a while method isn't working :/

Link... I know they're for a 350z, but they don't list the 300zx, and I know people put 350z wheels on the 300zx, so would have thought they should work? Or if anyone could point me in the direction of something more suitable it would be much appreciated! Thanks, Phill

i bought the inverters for these ages ago and found them tonight. the sills have never lit up snce i got the car so didnt even know if this would work had even considered just bining them and getting new ones as they are fairly scuffed but got them connected and hey presto they work so gonna get them looking a bit better and back on the car

been meaning to do it for a week after finding out tyres have a speed rated, so just been out with the torch and ive got.......... 265/40zr/17/96y on the rear 235/45zr/17/94y on the front the good news is the y means they are good for 186 mph Speed Rating Mile/Hour Kilometers/Hour Speed Rating Miles/Hour Kilometers/Hour N 87 140 U 124 200 P 93 150 H 130 210 Q 99 160 V 149 240 R 106 170 Z 150+ 240+ S 112 180 W 168 270 T 118 190 Y 186 300

Finaly got my belts changed and the dreaded squeek is no more, but unfortunatly after the test drive the clutch decided to give up and piss out all the fluid. and there was quite an audiable pop. not quite sure exactly where the leek is from but its in the general direction of the slave cylinder. so i'm going to get one anyway hoping that is the problem, and if it isn't then the problem will become aparent when the new cylinder is fitted. Just to make sure though (as my local parts provider can't allways be trusted) is it the same cylinder on all models, i.e. uk spec, jap spec, TT or auto etc. Thanks Steve

Time to do the interior and need an idea of how much matrerial I need for the interior panels and Seats for 2+2 please.

Does anyone know if there's a writeup available on fitting the a set of S3 J Spec heating and electric folding wing mirrors to a s1 UK?? If not, does anyone care to share their knowledge if they know? Just bought a pair off Slick Pete. Also, the jspecs are black - am I able to swtich the casing over to save on repainting them or is painting the only option? Just want to make sure before I try and lever the case open and end up breaking it!! Cheers Vig

Is this worth anyone saving????......... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300zx-breaking-1991-non-turbo-mint-/180622396590?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a0def0cae

Needed a heat alarm and saw the attached page in the manual. hahahah, are they saying our cars get hot? :whistling:

Hi All, Here's a really easy question for the mechanically minded among you. :blushing: I'm looking to get the Oil, Filter and Gearbox oil changed in the near future. Is this an easy job? will it be easy for any Garage to do? :surrender: Also, what is the best oil to use. Semi-Synthetic or Fully Synthetic? My car is a 1995 J-Spec Auto N/A. Cheers Peter

Hi folks. Anyone who was at Zedworld on Sat may recall my little escapade. I took Hollings out for a quick spin to give him a manual shift demo, only to pop the dip stick out of the block and cover the passenger manifold with my fresh oil. :blushing: Anyway, after being mightily relieved to find out it was just the dip stick and not an impending engine melt down - Jamie very kindly degreased what he could and topped up the oil again. On my way home everything seemed to be well and I thought no more of it. Then on Sunday I took the car out for an early morning blast - after overtaking a few slower moving cars I checked my mirror only to find I could hardly see th…

hey Ive been trying to referb my apexi AVCR tonight Ive managed to get the blue screen out of the fascia so i can now spray the fascia and back panel, but the blue screen has like a silver tint on the rear which is peeling and cracking and making the screen look shite. Does anyone know of anywhere that speacialises in plastics/perspex that I could perhaps get to make me a new screen?? Or if anyone knows how i can tidy up the existing screen Cheers Craig

Bobgenie has booked himself a track day session at Silverstone on Sat 12 Feb to debut his new car! I will be going along for a look-see so I wondered if anyone else fancied coming along for a bit of an informal mini meet. Here is the thread Bob put up..........http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=146818 This is the trackday organizer......http://www.goldtrack.co.uk/ Bob has just confirmed his booking today and is having a pit garage so we will have somewhere dry in case of rain. Its my understanding that you can just drive in and spectate at this event without paying owt but I will try and confirm. There should be some catering facility open t…

who else has a 300zx running T28 turbos? i run a pair on mine, and would love to meet another 300 owner with the same setup just to see how it performs, and the setup they/ you use. let me know, if your the guy, or if you know him. thanks in advance.

This has led me to thinking, and I don't do that often....lol: - Are the terminals for an electric passanger seat in the loom of a JDM (see I got it right this time...lol) spec Zed, so all that I would need to do is buy a passanger side switch and seat motors and it will go straight in?........ Cheers

Guy,s, Could someone tell me who owns the black z with 2 led strips attatched to the front bumper, he was at the Zedbash on Sat Cheerz Chris

I have purchased 2nd hand series 2 PTU + bracket with cut off loom. Firstly how do you get to the existing series 1 unit. Had a half hearted look and looks like plenum hoses pipes must come off but how as they seem pretty rigid. Does the series 2 unit mechanically fit to existing fixings. Also what is the difference in the wiring of connectors and fit/form etc? I was hoping to plug and play not cut up my existing loom. Also what fails on series 1 units as mine seems fine when not piping hot. Can they be fixed?

Ellow you lot, My headlight bulb blew so I ordered some uprated H3B's, they have 2 connectors on the bottom that fit to a block connector. I reciever H3's, these have 1 wire coming from it, but the base will fit the light unit. Can I just earth the bulb to the body, or make up a wire back to the connentor block to make it work? Cheers peeps

You won 3rd prize in the raffle at the Zedworld Bash on Saturday, pm me your address and will send it out. Jeff

Right! I have a up and over spoiler its not the high one its mid high if u know what i mean. But anyway, i just want to know how is the best way to fix it on? I dont want to glue it.

after going to the zedworld bash saturday i must say it was nice to meet and talk with fellow members . it would be nice if someone in the know could tag the pics taken naming members and their cars . so much nicer chatting on the forum when you can put a face and car to the user name on the site .

I'm going to attempt to shim it, is the na diff an 'r200'?

Hi guys, well what a day eh? the high wind tried but failed to dampen anyones spirits and at least it was dry.
