Hi All, Anyone had any experience with Clear HP166 tyres? ive got some on the back of my zed at the mo, but as ive never heard of them, im wondering if its worth replacing them for something better? Wouldnt be a hard decision to upgrade if they were nearly worn out, but annoyingly they still have 6mm of tread. Advice much appreciated! Brillo

just checking a few things out on a sunny sunday as you do and jacked the rear of the car up and was shocked to feel how much left and right play i could feel when holding the wheels, jesus the most ive ever felt in any car. I pretty much felt and even looked like the steering rack as i could see the track rod end moving but felt like it wasnt just those? i am replacing the rear rack with the driftworks kit shortly but just wondered if this is normal? james

Are their any nice looking front wings available (other than viper) maybe a bit wider and without the vents on the top.

Running problems can present themselves slowly over a period of time and as such when trying to resolve them it can be difficult to accurately pin point when something actually started playing up. So the humble air filter or should be say induction kit / system, over the years these have been marketed as upgrades with no mention of the down sides that can occur, one of which many here will know about or have encountered ....rain /spray when driving in bad weather. But what about dry sunny day issue?? we have seen many more zeds with issues in the Summer time than in the bad weather months with running issues due to faulty or incompatible units. An oppo…

Righty-o As most people know i've got two zeds, a NA and a TT ! I've receently removed both plenums in order to do a plenum swap ! I've been told theres no reason this cant be done but heres the problem i'm now facing ! The Silver NA has two hard copper pipes that join into the plenum as the picture below shows : Now the problem is on the plenum off the TT there is actually just two cover plates which seal over the two holes, my 96 TT doesn't have these pipes and when trying to fit the plenum from the TT everything nearly lines up but the pipe bracket the bolts go into on one side angle has changed and now does not fit ! …

HI Mods, I didnt know who to pm about this,but one of my threads has dissapeared? it was about some stickers i had made and some contact details? can someone tell me where it is? Thanks Daz.

......For zedding!! I can get used to these sunny autumnal weekends - just right for taking the ZX on another day out. This time we hit the Cotswolds with a nice run out to Stow on The Wold. I do love the road between Burford and Stow - 10 miles of fun; just like it was made for a 300zx.....:batman: My insurance is up for renewal in 4 weeks and I've still got 400 miles left to do, to get my money's worth.... ...... I'm visiting a friend in Suffolk on Wednesday so if it's a fine day, guess which car I'll be taking.....:whistling: Richard:cool3:

I've just done a conversion from a UK 300zx TT manual (Gumball 3000's old car) to a NA SWB Convertible Auto, changed the engine, ECU, Boost controller, manual box etc, but the flippin thing won't start. Have done the auto box relay by-pass under the drivers footwell, did the ECU check (showed 55 - all good), removed the fuel pump fuse to check if there was a flood but no joy. Both cars were working fine before the conversion. I removed one of the spark plugs but not getting any spark although there is some voltage getting there. Engine is turning over & fuel pressure good, can any body help with what could be the issue with no spark at plugs? Almost bald from pulling …

Now im a subscribed member:thumbup1: i would like to add a signature picture, i have managed to put my avatar piccy in but have just spent the best part of 30 minutes trying to insert a sig pic.. What am i doing wrong? thanks James

I have HSK adjustable shock absorbers and find them a very hard ride. it has been suggested that i replace these with the originals to soften the ride. The current ones could be adjusted to soften the ride a little but not a lot. Does it make sense to do the swap ? If so what is a decent price range for the originals...........or has anyone got a set that they have knocking about. I will be putting the HSK set up for sale after the change over. I've also been told that the originals are a bit taller, is this true? The ride with the current ones is great on flat roads and corners/roundabouts are a pleasure. The local back roads are a nightmare for bumps , lumps and pot…

is this the size of the standard exhaust 2.25"

Any one been to the above in Guilford There doing rolling rd £20 and remapping for £65 on my brothers FTO site and he wants me to go along in my zed ?

Follow on form this thread http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=141126 So a seized cam and a stripped cambelt can spell disaster but having faith in the robustness of the zed engine can often be rewarding. The zed was recovered to us from another garage that had partial stripped the engine, mainly the radiator and cambelt covers which had revealed a destroyed cam belt and a seized right hand exhaust camshaft and of course the remaining cams and crank all wrongly timed. Removal of the plenum, upper and lower injector assemblies, the timing sprockets with back plates and both of the camshaft (rocker) covers reveal the camshafts. …

Hi guys, Am thinking of storing my car over winter due to the poor weather conditions we are likely to have.Also she is out of tax at the end of this month. What are your thoughts on this matter? And, what do you need to be careful about with the zed when storing it? Cheers

when putting my foot down and then breaking heavily i sometimes am hearing a bong noise the same as the noise when you leave your lights on and turn off the engine and open the drivers door- no lights come on on the dash - i just here the noise- at first i thought it was the radio but then i had a different cd in today and i heard it again. any ideas as to this sound and what the car is trying to tell me??

Work as kindly allowed me the facilities so Today saw the start of 'get the Z an MOT' -first job was the welding,got her up on the lift and found this! Abit of cleaning and prodding,it turned into this!! Boldy kindly offered his services Today so basically he got on with it! LOL! Made a new inner bit, Then new outer, And a panel on the Apillar behind the wing, And the Maestro himself adding the finishing touches....
