HI- i'm looking for some advice. I recently moved my zed (off the road for a few years) out of my garage. i then removed the battery. When I came to lock it later that day I couldn't put my hands on the key, so I locked the driver door then the passenger door manually from inside the car. I have now found the key, it's under my fleece on the passenger seat! i can just see the edge of the key ring. is there an easy way to open it without damage? If anyone can help me, please let me know. (Either by PM or text/mobile 07834 449240 due to the sensitive/ security issue here) Many thanks

Ok going to be tackling a plenum change at some point in the very near future, going to fit the polished one that's currently sitting in the boot of my black TT, i have spare throttle bodies and would like them polished up as well, but haven't really come across a very good clear write up about how to go about polishing. I've tried sand paper with different grades and all it seems to be doing is making a mess lol, so before i tackle the ones that are actually on the car is there any very good guides or hints and tips? I don't have a dremel. so hand tools only at the moment. Also what and who supplies the gaskets and possibly pipe work I'm going to need when do…

Well, cut a long story short. I bought my car with the intention of putting the engine into an E36 BMW. I then decided not to bother and stick with the ZED. When i bought it, there were a few things that needed doing, but didn't bother me as i only wanted the running gear. Since deciding to keep it, these thing will need to be sorted. I can see myself spending a couple of grand just getting it as i want. I thought about selling, and i put it on ebay. It didn't sell. It owes me £1500. The engine and box seem good. I drives nicely. But the interior and body are tatty. Would i see at least £1500 back if i broke it? I have the time and space, just w…

Hope you dont mind me borrowing and changing this picture a bit Jeff. What is it I've put arrows to in the picture? Noticed I seem to have quite a bit of oil leaking out of the left hand one of these and it's dripping round the gearbox and onto the floor - I wondered if there was meant to be something on the end of it but I didn't even notice there was one on the right hand side - perhaps I could get some clues from there. Any help appreciated, James

Where is it guys?

is there anyway to prevent disk warpage

Can anyone help me, i need some dipped headlight bulbs is there any other website apart from Z-centre that sells them? i got some a couple of years ago but cant remember where from Cheers Stan

Hi all , ive just bought my second 300zx but my first tt, i have a few issues nothing major i hope, its a jap import and after driving mostly harshly, after when parked it starts to smoke like no tomorrow. i know its a definite oil leak and most likely from the rocker cover. not too sure if there is a leak from anywhere else havent checked from underneath. i've read something about plenum and haven't a clue what it is? help..... :surrender: i did turn the boost controller up to 40 and driven the car but its hasn't really given much issue with the smoke? ,i dont know how to use the boost con yet setting wise manual is in dam Japanese and air controller..... dont know …

I know I'm asking for trouble but here goes... ...when the 370Z was first announced, I was absolutely delighted. The photos looked great and early reports suggested that it was great to drive and far superior to the 350 in every way. Having now seen a couple on the road (only a couple compared to hundreds of 350s...) and also read the latest reviews, the picture doesn't seem quite as rosy. Many have commented how the last incarnation of the 350 is better to drive, more agile and more refined, where as the 370 has been criticised by the majority as very noisy, and not as exciting as the 350. As for looks, I must admit that I was rather underwhelmed. Ver…

hi, i installed my short shift gear stick at the same time as a manual conversion so probably not the best idea as i do not have anything to compare it with - this was a couple of weeks ago and it still seems very awkward and "notchy"/ clunky - i am convinced it rattels and vibrates as well - is this normal or could there be a different fault looming dave

Checked the windscreen washer reservoir today and to my astonishment found the water to be black and small bits of goey stuff floating about. It was a nice clear blue only 2 weeks ago and has been fine for the last year. Any ideas?

my 300zx turbo has suddenly developed a problem of overfuelling and flooding the engine with fuel. The mechanic is stumped. Can anyone shed any light on this please

white zed on M4 between j5 and j6 heading towards slough.7:05pm today. reg was M14 *** and had ferrari rear lights. looked like real nice car

as above really saw it today went to wave but realised i was in the van and that would just look stupid

Thought id share this, as i think this looks the dogs to be perfectly honest and love how they have done the wide arch look, its the Abflug Curve BEET 300ZX kit. i have to say that has to be in my own opinion the sexiest looking body kit I've seen in ages.

sounds a bit like Ice-T but gotta have respect for the contents of his driveway!! :bow: [YOUTUBE]8mdmwys2KJY[/YOUTUBE]

who has dynoed there tt is it wise should i bother?

my rear window seals have split around the bottom corners and the previous owner decided the best thing to do was fill in the gap with white sealent (tosser). Autoglass told me it was £300 for the seals before they come and fit them. is there anything i can do which doesnt involve £300 lol. would second hand seals b any good?? any help would b greatly appreciated.

Silver Zed parked on the side of the road. I think it was Balham High Road. Silver with dark coloured alloys and an 89 spec TT front bumper.

Hi all, ive been looking for some new alloys or second hand ones for nearly a month now and they are a few about i like they are 17 x 8 with a 35 offset and a 18 x 8.5 with a 30 offset. Which would look best and sit best on the car? cheers James

Am i losing it? or do other people have this too. Your driving along, you come across a nice car, say Audi, Golf GTI ect, and the moment they spot your car, they start driving like they want a race? now don't get me wrong, id love to oblige, after all i have just got it. and its really tempting to give it a bit to show um. but no point in getting a car just to wrap it around a tree / post / garden fence / police car.. Just seems every one wants to try and race me now lol

as the title suggests. mine struggles to do 30mph in 3rd, think it sits at about 2000 rpm and it struggles without stuttering. thinking on it seems to stutter at any steady speed realy. feels ok accelerating though.
