Despite the awful paint job, and awful bodykit there is a nice car lurking underthere... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201104378102788/sort/priceasc/usedcars/model/300_zx/make/nissan/page/1/radius/1500/postcode/la29pw?logcode=p 1990 Slicktop TT manual for £3600! Bargain!

Not really travelled around that area but wouldnt mind some snaps whilst down there. Anyone know of any decent places? :cool2:

I'm sure I'm not the only one that struggles getting them back on. :pinch: Is there a technique to doing it? I can never seem to get it hooked over the top at the front and the back at the same time until I start getting pissed off with it and violent lol... but I may benefit from knowing the trick of the trade. Its one of my most hated Z jobs even after owning 6 of them! Need to refit my passenger side door card tomorrow morning before jetting off to zedworld. :clap:

Ok so this afternoon we have been on bash duty setting up the workshop and rest area`s for you guys, lets hope the weather is good to us so we can have loads of photo`s for those in convoy will try and capture you arrving on video or at least normal pics ( loads of good parking), any one know how to post up phone video? MP4is that right? not my area of expertise!! So back home now and the kitchen is in full swing with Lynda at the helm as it were, loads of sausages in onion gravy in the oven and minted lamb in the slow cookers all on super low to cook over night and then transport to the workshop early doors. Now if you was not at the last bash you will not of s…

The electric windows seem to be a rather sore point on my zed - the previous owner had issues for ages with them. I was told that an auto electrician checked the amp and that was ok, but the drivers switch itself was shorting so it kept blowing amps. I changed the drivers switch and still no joy, but today when I was at shell, the mrs opened the window to speak to me... so the passenger window went down, but now wont go up!! I've tried the passenger switch off my breaker but still no joy. At the mo the passenger window is wide open and the weather is looking sh!t!!! any ideas?!?! HEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP :pinch:

looking to get some 15mm hubcentric wheel spacers where is the best place and cheapest lol to get them?

Can anyone point me the right direction of where to get the OEM keys? Was looking for the Black one and red one and if possible the titanium one.

I sold my Zed two weekends ago and I miss it and want another one!

My car should be ready by the middle of next week and since I'm kinda hoping it's going to be quick I've decided to give it a shake down at Silverstone new GP circuit on Saturday 12th :) I haven't got my wheels yet so keeping fingers crossed my new wheels will be here but one way or another the slicktop will be at the track. So if any of you guys fancy a run around the circuit seeing how you fare against the likes of radicals and various other proper race cars it would be great to see you. Here's the chance to see if your big horsepower car can cut it at the track so I'm hoping I won't be on my own flying the zed flag :devil2: I will of course have the best l…

This on ebay looks good value. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1995-M-REG-NISSAAN-300ZX-BLACK-FAIRLADY-LWB-1-OWNER-50K-/250767765244?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3a62ec6efc for anyone looking for a nice Zed.............:thumbup1:

Hi all. Any help please. I have a misfiring problem with the Z, starts fine, runs on all 6 for about 2 minutes, then half a mile down the road goes lumpy and runs on 5. About 2 miles later runs on 6 again. Up to 0.4 bar boost it pulls ok, anything more and it starts juddering violently, no pull at all. Revs freely at stand still across the band, fine. Have cleaned the PTU connectors (and all others I could see) one was green, and it did seem a little better after that. PTU is a series 1, relocated behind passenger headlamp. Any advice appreciated, cheers :)

No pictures, but the reg is : H775 KBY Silver LWB, JDM, NA, my mate just bought it today, stolen recovered, just wondered if it was anyone's on here, think it's from London way....

As has been mentioned in another thread already quite recently, just wanted to say I too have noticed a quite noticeable return of the club spirit! Just wanted to say thanks to a few people for their generosity in both advice over the forum and in helping out with bits and pieces needed for the Zed, etc!! Don't have enough time (or memory I'm afraid!) to name all those I need to thank but just over the last few weeks/month the following have been a great help to me!! Hopefully I'll see a few of you again before too long and the others, hopefully I'll get to meet you! pmf300zx silverbullet securicar MantaV8 MeisterR ZX-TT Groover Slick Pete J…

Hi all, Have fiited an after market water temperature gauge and wired in illumination. Now need to do the sender bit. The thread of the sender is 1/8 NPT. I'm guessing the block thread is 1/8 BSP or 1/8 BSPT? Can anyone confirm what it actually is please? I want to keep my existing water temp sender so wish to tee piece out of the block to both gauge senders.

Are there any upgrades available or is the standard one fine for hight power. Also do ebay ones do the job or not, because some of them are cheap as £8 i think whereas the nissan part (from nissan) was around £35. Im not going to pay £35 for a fuel filter but if the ebay ones are the same quality ill go for one of those. Cheers Mark

Hi guys, I am just going through how to change the fan belt myself. Is there a tensioner for the fan belt? thanks vic

Cant decide which look for my car suits it more so its on a poll. I like both looks but a 3rd option would be to get a smoothed nose panel and paint that and the bonnet black what do you think As it was or with the carbon. Or colour match the Carbon to the car????? If I cant decide ill prob just put the carbon stuff up for sale at a later date if i need to.

maybe a stupid question but not seen these before, my make has them in his shed, They worth anything or just clock fascia replacements???

Guys My car never leaked before it went to the bodyshop for a respray, now the water leaks straight down onto the seat both sides and runs down the pillars and comes out of my pillar clocks. its not from the holes in the top under the targa as they drain out underneath the car. It seems that since the bodyshop put them back they are not working properly. Had a chat with MJP and he said that certain parts need to be stuck down can anyone give me any pointers on how to fix this. I would like to take the car to zedworld on saturday but cant in case it rains at the moment as it literally pours in and I dont want to damage my pillar gauges etc.

Cheers peoples, i am lookingto treat myself........ Just dont tell the missus.... :slap:

Started off a jump pack and seems to be running as I remember it doing although there is now a fairly noisey ticking noise coming from near the top of the engine. Do you think its just a matter of letting her run for oil and water to circulate to normal operating temperate or something more sinister? There is a small patch on the ground underneath the engine so could just be a matter of topping up with oil?

I have just got a set of new 18" BBS alloys and tyres for my mates twin turbo series 2. The rears fit ace but the fronts mis the nissan engraving on caliper by a fag paper. I was going to get a couple of spacers say 3 or 5mm but wanted to check that was OK and wouldn't cause any stress on studs. What would be the max spacer also?
