just wondering what alloys fit the zed, im looking for a set for mine an wondering what other fitments fit, i was told the other day mustang wheels fit.

Hi,just wondering if their are any regular meets, or events which some of you guys attend, im in Milton keynes and would like to meet up at some stage.When i had my TVR there were regular meetings ,each month i would go to Northampton and Baldock to meet fellow enthusiasts.Tvr had a very good club but likewise so has Nissan there used to be at least 20 cars attend each meet.It would be great to see some of the lovely cars belonging to you lot.

As the big day gets ever nearer (had our first false alarm on new years eve!) im thinking more about life with baby, and crikey its scary lol! As far as the seats go though, i was wondering about converting the back seats, which are pretty useless for passengers really, as both the mrs and i are fairly tall, into a platform for a childs seat to be securely mounted in the centre. what would this involve do you think? i mean surely it will have to be safety tested by someone? i was thikning something along the lines of seat in the middle and soe storage space either side. but any thoughts, ideas, suggestions or more importantly warnings lol would be greatly appr…

Hello, im having problems with my zeds windows they just both packed in a few weeks ago, i installed a new amp in the drivers side, no difference. so ive installed new drivers side motor and regualator, and got another window amp, installed it all and hey presto they both worked, next morning get into the car and the windows dont work again! the amp makes a fast clicking sound when switches are pressed. the only part i havent changed is the passengars motor and reg, all wiring looks good into the car, if i power the motors up on a battery they work fine. could the drivers side switches cause this fault?, its the only thing left!! any hel…

I can just stick these in without any conversion of anything right? http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/H3C-ABD-Extreme-White-100W-Xenon-Pair.html?source=webgains&siteid=47683 Stupid question maybe, just want to be sure before I order. Cheers!

seems like this should be on here somewhere but i cant find it. got in the car this morning and it went up to 6 which it hasnt done b4 then slowly went down to about 1 over about 10 minutes, so the question is.......... should it be on the same pressure all the time, if so what? or is it normal to go up or down?

Just a quicky, has anyone successfully fitted a bike rack to their Zed? I've seen a tow bar with bike-holder attachment, but I don't think there is room for a tow bar due to my exhausts!

Ok, so I was under my dashboard today, drivers side and discovered a couple of bare wires, one was red (and maybe white too) but small. The other was yellow and quite a thick one, also bare (this one is my main concern!). I also found a plug and socket, these don't look like they'll fit together, but the wire on the plug isn't long enough to reach. I know its a long shot, but if anyone knows if these should be connected (and to what) please let me know! :) Cheers!

I was just pondering what is still available from NIssan. I dont mean consummables and similar small bits and pieces like service items. Just looking at some posts on here a new shell seems to be quite often sought after......can you get a NEW one ? Mark

:helpsmilie:Hope someone can shed some light on this please.:sad: Just recently,when i start my 300 tt from cold i get a high tick over, around 2,100 rpm. When i attempt to pull away the engine nearly dies accompanied with this rapid clicking. (3 ticks per second approx'):confused1: It appears to be coming from straight in front of me but it is difficult to pinpoint exactly due to the high volume. After a minute or so it seems to be OK. Would someone point me in the right direction please.

if i hadnt just bought 1 id be after this!.......... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1994-NISSAN-300-ZX-TURBO-AUTO-RED-/170584154237?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27b79ba07d gagging to get it but im only just outta the doghouse for getting the last 1

After all the supply issues i had with the wrong supply of my Rangie Wing Mirror (which I'm still waiting for the right one to arrive!) and the bulbs finally arriving one by one I discover my shiney new plasma oil pressure gauge has been supplied with the illumination wire missing out the back!!!! And, as I didn't notice this until I had pre installed it into it's gauge panel, (which scratched the case all to blazes as the fit was so tight) I will have to coiugh up for another in full!!!! Arrggghhhh gutted!

hey guys, happy new year! over the xmas period,i left my z stand for like 2 weeks,starting engine occasionly, when ice had cleared i got her out again and noticed the handbrake light doesnt go off anymore? any ideas?

Hi, Just favour please, I`ve won some coilovers on e-bay, I did originally ask the seller if i could use a courier to collect and he said its fine, now after several e-mails hes not getting back to me fast enough, (seems to wait 2/3 days to reply?) and I`m worried that if i do get a courier then he wont be there to hand them over! So is anyone willing to collect them for me and I will get the parcel picked up from your house/work, I think this way i have a better chance of actually getting them! of course i will pay any fuel/time costs to yourself thanks in advance Daz.

Just got myself an engine crane on ebay. A friend has the same one and it is capable of doin the zed engine so instead of hiring one out everytime its cheaper to just buy one :) Therefore if anyone in the Cambridge area needs a crane let me know :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200538778174&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Marty

thursday about lunch time parked at the shops in fairlands, Guildford. a black zed with stock wheels

Seeing as I use my car every day and about a month, six weeks ago the roads were full of rocksalt. Couple that with sub zero temps I just never got round to washing the car and I certainly will not take it to a roadside car wash :nono: I notice the wheels were getting more and more filthy and of course I knew this was salt :thumbdown: Oh deary dear ruined :mad: A bit of soap and water - a complete waste of time :huh: Fear not - look at them now :thumbup: 20 mins on each one and I have them back beautiful again - all shiny shiny How is all done? Well I have posted before, good old fashioned brillo and elbow grease, other products I find a bit lame, …

Hi, A few weeks back. whilst in the office, I found a photo of the engine bay, various parts labelled. As there is no Haynes the diagram was super useful, but now I cant find it again... Can anyone post a link for me? Cheers!!

How do i change the title on my build thread and add an **updated** Cheers Dan

I can,t make my mind up whether it,ll look right , although i,ve smoothed and blended the sideskirts the rear bumper has a Greddy Gracer rear skirt on it and i,m worried it,ll make it look a bit bland if i fill the swage in . I,ve got a 99 front which will still have it,s swage left in it so i,m thinking leaving the rear one as it is will look more balanced . What do you reckon ? Smoothed sides The bumper with the skirt on ( old piccy ) 99 Front with the swage ( another old piccy)

just wondering how many there is around my way, as not noticed many around, im in the okehampton area
