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…

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. So firstly I and speaking for all of the Zedworld team thank you for all your comments and also for actually attending because without you there would not of been a bash and I would of been eating sausages in onion gravy for a month!! I want to thank Lynda and and Danielle for the food and serving it too, Lisa for the raffle ticket sales and Simon help with loading and clearing up, and last but not least for Jamie who worked super hard to get the workshop jobs completed and prepared and the tech and parts advice on the day.

The time clock in my car has a mind of it's own and works sometimes and not others, isn't there someone on here that can repair them?.......:devil2:

hi all, couple of questions regarding the turbo's, ive got a twin turbo with manual transmission and was wondering what pressure should the turbo dial be showing at full boost as mine sits just a fraction over half way which i assume if about 8psi if the total dial is 14, engine seems totaly standard apart from a exhaust upgrade.................... also need some help on gaining some bhp, looking at dump valves and induction kits but to be honest i dont know where to start... all help is greatly received :)

i just thought i would start to post some picky's. well i brought my zed about 12months ago and had some fun in it, but the body work was rotten. so i brought a shell of daz and thanks to him its a good shell. i have got the change every last nut and bolt over from 1 zed to the other. GOOD FUN! so her r a few pictures of my progress. the new shell when i collected it. [ATTACH]58194[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]58195[/ATTACH] started work on it asap and i removed the aerial [ATTACH]58196[/ATTACH] repaired the rear arch as it had a bit of rot on it. [ATTACH]58197[/ATTACH] smoothed if the boot. [ATTACH]58198[/ATTACH]

I'm thinking of installing remote central locking and just wondering where is best to tie into; to trigger doors open and doors close?

Air box was a pain to get out, bolted down everywhere, even to the splash shield. Old filters were nasty, clogged up with all kinds of things - New filter and adaptor - Tight fit - Any idea what these are? Found them in the bottom right side of the bumper - My Zed is a lot more responsive now, feeling good! :)

Changing from a Veilside front end to a 89 spec front end and after lining everything up there is a massive gap between the front end and the vented nose cone thing :/ Is there different sizes in these I'm guessing?

On Behalf of the Club I just want to thank Jeff for holding his Zedworld Bash today. I have reviewed the various photos from the Members, and the day looked to be a success with a good turn out. Please join us in thanking Jeff, if you were able to make it. he's a credit to this Club, and we are lucky to have him around. TOP MAN Jeff. :bow: :bow: Regards KIM

just on the off chance After seeing some of the rear lights at the zedworld bash today, i really like the look of some of the crystal style rear lights, Would anyone be interested in swapping a set of smoked ones like in the link below for my genuine 99 spec ones. (pics in my rides) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380312801427&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT Would usually just sell mine but if i can swap then it would be easier for me until I find another decent job. cheers craig
