hey can anyone piont me in the right direction for a double to single din dash kit? cheers

HI. Anybody have a wide body kit from ebay on is car? And whats the diference between ebay kit and zedcentre kit? thanks

Has anyone else noticed that zed prices seem to be on the way up? Just in general now i have been looking around the prices have gone up since i bought mine 2 years ago. Now there does seem to be a few bogus people that believe an automatic is worth 7k or that their engine might be producing 800bhp which looks good in theory but even the worst off zeds people are looking for higher prices. I think some of them need a reality check or at least join a forum and find out really what it is worth Marty

Spotted this at a good price , nowt to do with me but might help someone out . http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-Z32-300ZX-Slave-Clutch-Cylinder-30620-30P00-/360321221684?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item53e4d18434

I am gonna swap the cloth interior from my 91' N/A Z32 with a pretty good leather interior from a 90' TT z32, is there anyhting I need to modify/look out for, or is it a straight swap?

Hello everyone. I really need a help and advice. Oil pressure is not working probably that is a oil pump but I am not ruse. All engine is not working properly it's shaking and I can hear the noise from driver side seems like from a turbo and driver side exhaust from turbo is shaking. It's that can be oil didn't come out from turbo ant turbo now is broken? MY turbo is just done around 8k miles is was brand new power enterprise pe1420. Please don't ignore me please help and advice. My lovely z is standing now and I can't drive don't know what to do.

Is there anywhere in the uk that sells them? I found one in the US for $1462, which works out at £905 before all the taxes and shipping etc. I can see that figure getting much higher. Are they for sale over here at that sort of price? I need a new engine, but if i buy another second hand one, how do i know how good it is? Also, i plan to push a bit of power, so its best to do it right first time. Ive got a good engine in my breaker, but i could sell that as a good running engine to go towards the cost of a rebuild, and why use that engine to want uprated parts soon anyway...

I had a battery drain of 0.21 amps and traced it to the interior light. I have been doing stuff to the car and left the drivers door open for a few days, but i switched off the interior light thinking everything would be ok. How wrong i was, with the door open and interior light switched off its 0.21 and with the door closed its 0.04, im surprired by this simply because the bulb is not lit regardless of the door being open or closed.

Hi Chaps, I might be needing a new pair of discs for my K-sport 330mm front kit. Replacements are looking very expensive, just wondering if anyone knows of a common disc replacement from another car? Cheers...:thumbup:

Anyone got pics of the wide body fuel cap install im a little confused. Also did everyone take out the fuel pipe to cut it at the neck, just looks a pita to remove. And the ali funnel does that mount to the backside of the fibreglass arch. Thanks

Hi im thinking of putting a turbo engine into a n/a car is there any thing else i should change apart from the ecu?:stupid: any advise would be great. Many thanks paul

tried to change the three belts to get rid of a dreadful squeek, but the new ones that i was given wouldn't fit. they were to small, i can't remember the exact lengths now but i will find them out. so does anyone know the belts that i need? its a jap spec TT G plate model if that makes a difference. Thanks

Finally got my Z back after a week getting a makeover...pearlescent white to ice white (Audi Ibis White). Personally I love the new look and it's turned out even better than I expected. Looks a totally different car to before. Just the new wheels to put on... Hope you like it!

Just installed a new nismo guage cluster in my series 4 1996 TT but the boost guage doesn't seem to work. The previous cluster i removed didn't have a boost guage so could there be something missing or disabled that needs to be fixed before it works ?

Hi i just want to say a BIG thankyou to craig (zx-tt) for the zed shell i collected off him today many thanks :thumbup1: and one very nice zx you have there to good luck with engine swap :dance:

have just put leather seats in & noticed there is the same connecter under passenger seat.do the jap imports have electrics on both front seats??:confused1:

Im at the point of trying to remove the 2 pipes from the engine bay that lead through the bulkhead into the back of the heater matrix, I seem to have very little to no room to be able to access these 2 pipes, has anyone had to remove anything from the engine bay to be able to get to these pipes properly. even if i manage to remove them with a long screwdriver, there is no way i can get at them to put them back on when im re-installing the heater matrix. The dash is fully removed, it is a manual and still has the clutch in place. leigh

Am i right in thinking that the maf is on the way out? It used to hiccup when it spooled but now it does it all the time. I had put the maf in the airing cupboard overnight and it seemed to fix it. Now it does it all the time. Worst of all when its cold, i assume thats because the hotter it gets the more it dries the maf out. Thanks guys Mark

Need opinions guys. My girlfriend has asked me what i want for christmas. My choice has been narrowed down to either an 89 spec spoiler or a 99 spec, from Dave Car Mad. Need to remove the high level one i have. But am faced with the dilema. If i go for the 89, i will need to source the light. If i go for the 99, i will then be wanting a 99 front. But in the future, the zed is going low and smooth. want to keep it looking as sleek as possible. Regardless Carmad will be getting the business. All for the 94 UK in black Which one???

We own zeds for a reason. Just having it is enough. But luckily for me i do all my own work. Part of the work that we should adhere to is basic maintenance. Like regular checks of oil, water, coilpacks, injectors and fluid levels. Not teaching you guys new things of course. Every other week or so, i make sure is it working as it should, regular servicing with decent parts makes all the difference. If something isnt right, then sort it. To add to this, in the last couple of weeks i have noticed that the water level was dropping, i have been keeping an eye on it, but nothing was clearly obvious, only a small amount, even after a good fast drive, but still, losing it som…

Hi Andy, I understand you have fitted the 350Z Brembo calipers to your Zed. What discs did you use on the rear was they 350z? im not sure if they will fit? Thanks Dan

Well it's official, Project 1 has gone! It was taken to Germany on Friday and after renewing the 2 rads was running well. The 2 guys had a test drive, one a little scared with the power, the other who has a skyline gave it some beans but his face said it all- he was shocked with the power and started to get the end to step out at 70mph! The EVO is sold to now so only a Volvo to drive :thumbdown: On the hunt for a new cheap project now!

Pretty obvious really, but didn't realise just how much of a difference my new tyres would make. Had Falken 452's fitted all round and the car feels so much more stable and planted. Had budgets on before which came with the car and the rear always felt a bit 'skittish' even in the dry. Now with my new MeisterR setup and alignment by Silverbullet, coupled with the new tyres the car is transformed. Stereo on LOUD, not a cloud in the sky, clear roads, tank full of motion lotion........Good times :clap:

had my zx motd last well sounding like a dream and yesterday night i didnt even rag it ... sounds like the exhaust is banging and i come home poped the hood up itss coming from the top of the engine i fink but it aint a tapping nois its like dry metal so i checked the oil pressure via guage in the car it waz on 0 and then an hour later i seen it wen i started it agen it waz on 2 what can it be?

Thinking about putting the Zed on a classic policy what companies are worth a try with a modified car? Cheers :)
