Hi, im planning a manual conversion in my SWB auto TT and have found a good manual conversion from a 2+2. I have been told the prop shafts for both versions are the same and are only different in the N/A or TT versions. Can anyone confirm or rubbish this? Cheers, Liam.

Just bought the car back from a run out, was supposed to go to a cruise meet, but it started kind of juddering/misfiring on the way, so I turned around and went back... When I pulled up on the drive the car was going up and down in revs idle quite quick like... brum, brum, brum, brum Then when I tried to put my foot down it only revved to 2500 on the drive... I also noticed on the way back that my boost was going right up, but the revs never moved and when I was crusing, the revs would fluctuate slightly... WHAT THE F!CK IS UP WITH THIS PIECE OF SH!T NOW!?? Am I ever going to have a car that runs? FFS :cursing: :cursing: :cursing: :cursing:

has anyone got nitrogen filled tyres the local garage is doing this for £1 a wheele just wondering if anyone has this and if it makes a difference to fuel economy and grip

i just wondered why you like and brought a 300zx?

i have a completly standard engine apart from a 70bhp chip. i was wanting a few mods which you would recomend (nothing stupidly expensive) lol. as i don't know where to start. :stupid:

Hi all. just over a week to go before the car gets tuned properly and by a very well respected tuner. Have a guess at what its going to make... Details of what I have is here: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=244

hi jeff & jamie thanks very much for sorting out the nissan. and linda for picking me up from the train station great job as usual thanks billy

.....please. One of my dipped beam bulbs self destructed. It took me ages to get most of the shrads of glass out of the projector unit without removing the unit itself then went to my local motor factors for a replacement set. Didn't realise they weren't an 'off the shelf' thing, (DUH!), so figure I might as well bite the bullet and go HID. Sadly Zedworld are currently out of stock and could use them ASAP because the car's going to be used quite a lot in the dark from now on with almost immediate effect. (Nights drawing in/up at 4am to go to work/back after 9pm/etc) So what's good and an easy fit etc? Not too worried about price, but I want a decent se…

I've taken my car home to Fife and since had my tame local back street garage check it over and MOT it and all was well. (Came as a surprise to me I can tell you!!!) Anyway, in passing, he did say that he wouldn't be keen to do anything major on it. While I appreciate his honesty, it leaves me with a bit of a quandry as to what to do if/when the turbos do sing their swan song. So do any of you know of/can recommend anyone to maintain my P&J in central Scotland? TIA!

Guys half way through fitting some Greddy SMIC's. Having removed the CC on the passengers side to gain room for the IC I have found on refiting the expansion tank that it's sits slightly further back (only attaches on the top bracket & the top screw to chassis) with the tank sitting at an angle I can see that the arch liner isn't going to go back on. (not that is was on anyway). Was hoping to get everyting back on as OEM as possible. Shirley the drivers side will be as bad with the washer bottle in the way. Has anyone used/ mounted a smaller expansion tank and smaller washer bottle to overcome this? is so details would be great.

Hi folks im after a plastic lacquer to use on my rear lights to give them a shine. What have other people used that they can recommend as there is so many out there cheers Marty

Going to order a new clutch kit , but fitting a Nismo lightweight fly wheel so should i fit a uprated the clutch kit??

Hi guys, Anyone on here with these fitted to their Z ? I have 8.5 s just fitted to the fronts and 9.5 on the rears, they came with the 2 spacers to fit on the front wheels for clearence, do you need different spigot rings ? as when the tyre place fitted them for some reason they removed all 4 spigot rings and then put the wheels on without them. Please see my other thread about wheel vibration Help needed urgently Thanks Chris

Last night (Wednesday) about 07:00 pm , lots of slow traffic..... I thing it was a black Z with tail light conversion to 4 pot, you flashed, we both waved and smiled ... :) all happened very fast...lol...

Hi guys, I had my new wheels fitted today by a reputable tyre fitting company, I purchased these from a club member and they were supplied with 2 spacers for each side for the front wheels, they are 8.5 s, i had them balanced as well but over 50 mph i get a lot of vibration/ shaking. Any ideas to what is causing this would be much appreciated, Thanks Chris
