Hi all, I have the auto 3.0 v6 300zx 2+2 sports. The problem i'm getting is it's not going into gear and i am having to click the hold button to make it change up.

Hmmmm, I wonder. Just been playing with photoshop on the alloy/brake caliper side of things. I'm thinking either white calipers with my silver car colour with the 'nissan' on them painted in red/black; I'm thinking black looks more subtle and less tacky. Or... Red with a black or white 'nissan'... Any ideas???

Are these two items just for the air con. Can they be binned?

will r33 coilovers fit a zed . the fronts look like a straight swap . the rears bottoms have a single bolt fixing that looks like it bolts into the bottom of the strut . looks like it could be swapped for a forked fitting like on zed rear . anybody got any experience with these as to wether they would fit . would the top plate bolts be the same fit or is there a difference with the spacing. cheers guys andy

Hi i was sent a link to this forum, told you may be able to help. I'm a member of the almera owners club, and have a almera gti with a turbo conversion, using a almera head a pulsar lump. Few months back head cracked due to a tappet failure which also killed the turbo. So has had a rebuild. Long story short, when i went to take the turbo off before the rebuild, intake pipe was stuck on tight. Came off as it did ripped all wires out of the maf. Used this diagram to wire it back in ( see below ) Going off the 95-98 SR20. Anyway mechanic called. Saying it starts but runs like a bag of poop. Majorly over fueling so much that he thinks driving it will cause or co…

Ok, pretty much its that time of year again, and im in portsmouth until the beginning of November, however my MOT runs out on the 19th.. dilema in the fact I need the car down here, but if it runs out of mot I cant take it back up when my block down here is over, well i'll have 7 days to get the work finished obviously I dont want to get a dodgy mot, but a kind tester that can turn a blind eye at smaller things would be a god send... Im not even sure what it might fail on, just I know that it smells of petrol and im worried about my emissions I guess? Does anyone know of a good test station to go to, im willing to travel a bit to get there. Cheers Sk…
