Hi folks,haven't posted on here for some time due to selling my Zed in mid 2009 but like visiting frequently as the banter is always fresh. Anyway was browsing the internet to see what 300zx's were for sale these days when i came across my old car on ebay.....CLOCKED. I sold it in the summer 2009 on a private sale with 97000 miles and couldn't believe it when i saw it for sale with 78000 miles!:angry: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/94-L-NISSAN-300-ZX-3-0-V6-SERIES-3-MANUAL-Coupe-BLACK-/180599524003?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a0c920aa3 Just thought i would post it on this forum as i was a member here with that car and just incase any member was to but it or think of b…

currently have a twin turbo Z that i love dearly, but im seeking some advice on how to get a quiet exhaust or which one is the best. currently have japspeed decat downpipe that run into a silencer box, then into a backbox each side with 5 inch exits. ( yes i know they're huge) i do have silencer bungs, which take 80% of the noise away, but with them in i cannot run high boost for safety reasons. (backpressure etc) now i'd like a system that can deliver all the power i need but without the noise, do any of you have one like this? Hoping to change the backboxes only rather than the full system....

After some serious consideration about selling up and getting something else, I came to the conclusion there was nothing apart from a Supra that I would replace the Zed with so she's in the garage over winter to try and get her running properly. The main problem I've had with her has been cold starting so there's a few things I'll be trying first and worst case scenario its a new/rebuilt engine! Apart from that she runs great and pulls like nothing else I've ever had! So here is a few pics so far - Let's just say my mother wasn't amused with the location of the bonnet in my room haha! Sorry about the quality they are off my phone :tt2: M…

NOT MINE!! Copied this out of my thread for a new member (BLACKHAWK300) as he is having problems and I haven't got a clue. hi,anybody like to try and help with this not so quick fix??? 1990 tt auto,sluggish holds back then stalls, smells of fuel, the tappets started to rattle got into work lifted the bonnet and smoke everywhere,i reved the car the smoke out the back was going between black and grey with a back fire....that was about 2 ish finished work about 8hrs later thinking it aint going to start, fired straight up drove like 4 miles into my 8 mile dive home it started to rattle a bit i left a bmw of the lights like there was nothing wrong with it...im confused…

I am still learning all about my new camera, but I thought Ile just get out there and take some of my Z :-)

Is it correct that i have a uk car with uk speedo but my mileage goes up in kilometers :helpsmilie: Mark

Hi peeps, Recently bought some UK clocks for my jap TT and it seems to clock up miles ok (rear of the uk plugs were different to the Jap ones to had to transplant the actual clock from the uk to jap housing, then the plugs would fit from the loom)... anyway, when I turn the key to accessory, the milage needle jumps a bit... really quick up to about 40mph, then goes back to zero. All seems ok, but can anyone tell me why it does this? I don't recall my jap one doing this. :helpsmilie: Thanks, Ant

Sorry I`ve got no picture as I cant find the pipe at the moment, the pipe connects under and on to the plenum on the driver side and connects to the main engine, its tapered from approx 15mm down to 8mm and about 150mm long, any ideas what its called and has anyone got a good one? please Daz:cool3:

As above really, just wondering if leaving it off would make a differeence in cooling, I want to leave it off for asthetics really, not too bothered if it goes back on, but overall I dont want to fry the donkey:wink:

This is a new problem that arisen in the last few weeks! When putting the pedal to the metal and going say more than 60mph my zed seems to cut out then go full throttle again then cut out. If I drive normally upto and over 80 then it's fine, I just can't floor it! Could this be a boost leak? I can hear the turbos spinning up fine. Also what effect would having a smaller bore exhaust do as I got a local garage to swap over the exhaust from my old NA as it looked a more meaner exhaust but the back pipes are connecting look thinner Could the exhaust now not be big enough bore and the engines choking itself ! Cheers folks

I was having a great deal of trouble finding the cause of a misfire on my no.1 cylinder. I change the coil pack twice for know good ones, checked the injector was firing properly, changed both the coil and inj connectors for new ones, tried a different spark plug but still the misfire was there! I then had a look at my relocated PTU and the 7 pin side had been getting water in to it and had rusted up plus the loom connectors were green! A quick clean up and the misfire had gone :thumbup: Need to replace the loom part that's corroded and re-think my location for the PTU (on inner wing next to batt) but I call that a result.

just found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/300ZX-Z32-parts-AUTO-MANUAL-GEARBOX-CONVERSION-KIT-/380306809797?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item588c0d63c5 Anyone after one.

is there any reason as to why the control covers change the gap that the screws have as it appears mine seam to be smaller than what was on the origanlly

Hart Lane around 16:30 - 17:00

any ideas on why the factory fitted LCD clock in my 93 nissan keeps resetting itself to 01:00, its getting to be that every time i get in the car it needs setting to the right time, which it then keeps until the car is next used ...

Looking to buy one of these - any tips on the best/cheapest place to get one? I''m a bit dubious of trusting a name I dont know with that kind of money - there's a few on eBay for £550 or the cheapest I've found using the shopping search on google is £385? :confused1: but I've never heard of the company name - Link. Any recommendations? Also - what else will I need to buy to fit this to the car? Or does it come with a universal fitting kit? Cheers, James

I'm on the search for piping (preferably blue) to re-route my PCV system but I'm not sure what diameter of pipe is needed :/ Anyone have a good source for it and T-piece style connectors? Any help would be appreciated :) Mark.

Hi all, Has anyone got a leader gear and pinion fitted to their diff? If so what oil do you use? Thanks Dan

HI All, I've had a Leaky drivers side T-Top for a while, Just near the front window corner. As a stop gap i tried to plug it with Blu tack but it hasn't really worked. I'm sure i seen somewhere that you can get something like a gel to expand the rubber slightly or something? not too sure if i dreamt it lol. :stupid: However, i really don't want to go replacing seals just for this tiny leak so any help will be appreciated :thumbup1: Peter
