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. Also it revs for no reason and the a/c and radio come on intermittently when going along. Have had gear box recon; brand new internals and auto cooler Throttle sensor done. Been checked by auto electrician's; Ztec uk Consult check, plus setup and crank angle sensor, tp sensor diagnostic Autoelctix's unable to trace fault (tps checked, potentiometer and assorted wiring) Fishbrothers; diagnostics, suspect either ecm or wiring fault can not find prob the gear box not talking to aut…

anybody got any idea how many Z32,s are still running in the uk . ive only spotted about 5 over the last year or so on the road . just wondered how exclusive they are getting nowadays . seem to see loads of supras and gt3000,s but hardly any zeds .

curious to hear what some of you guys are running and it would be nice to have a thread with everyones setup jotted down not only for an idea of what to use but also for peoples feedback. would be great if you can attach the printout. Il have to dig out my printout and post it up as i cant remmeber my toe settings. Im running the following bare in mind i do alot of track days: FRONT: camber -2.45 Caster 10.00 Toed out, REAR: Camber -2.00 Toed in at the moment the front toes in under compression ever so slightly (as much as i can tell), im thinking of making my own bumpsteer gauge with a laser pen attached to one the front wheel…

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

I removed the two top 14mm bolts, that one at the back thats a PITA. But the compressor is still held in tight. Are there any more bolts?

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…

Hi there, just got myself my very first Z, a 91' twinturbo, couldn't be happier :) But there is a weird noise when the car is in 2nd and 4th, kind of a blowing noise, seems to be coming from the front of the center console somehow. It's only when the shifter is in these two gears, and the noise only appears from 1500 to 2000 rpm's. Previous owner said something about it might beeing a missing or broken rubber boot or rubber thingy between gearbox and chassi. Anyone know what I mean, or have encountered this themselves? Anyone know where to start looking?

Well with the winter months coming im looking for a decent car cover, not one of these 750 things but a good cover for a respectable price. Its mostly to make sure that the rain etc is kept away from the roof at the targa seals incase anything could seep through in the off-chance, my rubbers dont leak but just an extra precaution. Also to those who use there zeds in the winter take car on the roads as they are becoming more trickier day by day. cheers
