Hi all, Currently working in CA atm and have found a few good Zed owners out here. One has offered me a set of Godspeed side mounted Intercoolers. Q. Are they any good and are they a direct fit? Anyone got them on a zed here in the UK? Any help appreciated, as I think they will just fit in the suitcase if they are worth bringing home :) Greg

For some reason got no revers lights checked the sensor on the gearbox that's fine went to the bonnet looped pin 4 and 7 in the plug that should give me reverse lights but nothing where should I look now

Can anyone tell me what the differential oil line running from the oil pump to the rear bumper and back to the cooler is actually for, is it for extra cooling or is it a buffer for extra oil, I mean the diff holds most of the oil and the cooler should be sufficient to cool the oil, I’ve tested the pump and it pumps like crazy so there should be enough flow. Reason I’m asking most of the lines are rusted and I thought maybe it would be possible to use a small catch can/overflow can instead of this oil line. Thanks Peter

My Zed is a 1989 TT auto- now back on road after having been stood- runs fine etc but I have a paint? issue. The paint or powder coating has started to fail on the targa edges, the 3 inch approx piece of trim to the rear of the targas & on the stipp down the 'A' pillars leaving chrome on view. What fixes are available for this- any advice most welcome.

cant get the gearbox top nut on the drivers side off tried heat which is really awkward and wd and its a no go dont really wanna force it much more or it may round off looking for suggestions really :confused1:

This is on my vg30det engine. I'm sorting the engine bay & reducing all the vac lines etc. This metal diaphram is on the back of the plenum near the bulkhead. There is a vacuum 'container' on the inner wing & a electric solenoid by the air filter. As I was uncertain of its role. I have removed the vac line from it leaving the diagram to atmosphere, blanked the hose going to it & removed the plug from the electric solenoid. I have taken the car for a hard drive & it has made no difference to the performance. If anyone knows it's job please help or I'll remove it all to clear space in the bay.

Hello everyone, My car got misfire, so after long process of checking all components and cleaning connectors I found dead injector. Is anyone going to Brighton incarnation tomorrow and possibly got spare standard injector I could pick up ? Cash in hand. Also many thanks to Jimmer for support over the phone during my injector removal process :shuriken: Kind regards Adrian

HICAS and Power Steering Issue: Car is a JDM 1995 Series 4 TT with the ELECTRONIC Hicas, not the hydraulic. Ok, so for a little while I’ve been suffering with the usual Heavy Steering issues. This issue appeared shortly after fitting my Haltech Plat Pro. After a little while longer I noticed my speedo was dropping out, which I assumed was my kph to mph converter. Switched converter, speedo returned to normal function (and is as accurate as I would expect when comparing to GPS speed) but power steering symptoms persisted. A further symptom arose where it now feels like the HICAS is in “high speed mode” and feels like the back wheels are turning in the same d…

I'm debating on what to do with the stereo and surround and wanted people's opinions. A bit of background to why it looks as it does. Basically the previous owner had the aircon in the radio surround using several buttons. The display was in the square bit too. I rewired stuff back to the good old pods. But that's left holes and a very messy stereo surround. The setup is a stereo and DVD/Sat nav screen in the normal place, then there's the DVD/SatNav unit in the centre console. If I change the stereo, then I possibly lose or have to change the centre console. So I'm after opinions on what I could/ should do. What I'm toying with is either: -keep…

Hi all I managed to get an hour today on the 300 so started trying to clean up the engine bay. I do like a well cleaned bay and this 300 is one of the dirtiest bays I’ve ever owned. Any heavily oiled areas I’ve had to deal with on previous cars I’ve dealt with using WD40. :thumbup1:Unfortunately the 300 is so groty that the WD40 wasn’t touching the sides without working it in with a toothbrush and cloth.:tooth: Can you guys recommend any products that are more aggressive on contact please? :gun_bandana: Cheers,Chris P.S. Please feel free to post your engine bay to keep me motivated. :wink:

Hi Andy, Here's the pics :

Maybe this has be asked in the past or tried, do 370z 19” standard alloys fit directly on to a 300zx?

Hi All, I’ve just found my leak I posted the other day and now moved on to removal of the original spoiler as I fancy something a bit more tasty. So I’ve got the old spoiler off which was a bit of a faff, but managed to get it off clean and the metal is all solid thankfully as I was worried that the spoiler was like a wet sponge for 20 years. Now I have it off I’m faced with a few holes and a large recess I’m not sure what to do with. Can anyone point me in the right direction to smooth off the lip at the edge of the boot and fill the hole with say a centre brake lamp or some kind of facia I can buy. I did buy an original spoiler off of Ash, but he’s gone…

Hi guys, anyone here have anything to do with hamiltonmillhomevaluations.com?? Got an email from them on 5th April saying my parcel was delivered to my Parcel Motel address, the email had broken down to code and I can’t find a tracking number due to this. It was a myhermes delivery:confused1: I can only assume it was Z parts but I’m not sure

Right guys D Day is coming Blown engine is out forged engine is going in The engine is capable of about 550BHP so I'm thinking 500 is sensible. While its out a new clutch would be a good idea. The car will be 99% road with the odd speed run any suggestions for a sensible road clutch that I don't need 2 feet to use? Cheers

Slid at 90mph into a corner over an embankment. Fractured skull, eye socket and ankle. Thankfully he was ejected out the targas after the first collision before the roll.

Nice to see that Mark Hanley's (Topless) blue convertible is still around: http://r.ebay.com/9uoZdV The photo below was taken in 2003 when Mark owned it and the white one. He sold on the blue and kept the white for his TT conversion.

So I've been hunting high and low for a '93+ drivers door for my '95 car which is at Jimmer's pending a respray. I finally found one in Scotland of all places on Gumtree at a breakers. "Yes it's from a +94" "Yes it's completely rust free" the guy tells me. £80 +£50 shipping. Seems a bit steep but no choice so do the deal. I find out yesterday from Jimmer that it is a '89-'92(optimistic at best that it's a '92) and very rusty indeed !!! So it's completely useless for me ! WHY THE F cant people be honest ??? He MUST have known it would be completely obvious that it was NOT what he told me it was !! Rant over - sorry !

Hi All, I’m getting through an alarming amount of coolant. The drip is constant while hot and coming from the centre of the car. There is a small pipe that is not connected to anything that is dripping. A couple of people have said it’s for the ac condenser. But I’m not so sure now as I’m losing so much water and this pipe seems to be the culprit. Does anyone know what this pipe is? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Low mileage UK Z coming up 6 miles from me. Never seen this Z in all my years in Belfast but it looks in great condition and the right money. If I had the spare cash I would be all over this. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201803285018094?postcode=bt88hr&advertising-location=at_cars&sort=sponsored&model=300&radius=1501&make=NISSAN&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&page=1 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300-zx-Turbo-automatic-uk-car-76-000-miles/132576575340?hash=item1ede2dff6c:g:wdsAAOSw1RdazMNK
