Does anything fit in the space which is on the drivers side at the end of the seal? Is there supposed to be a seal or anything along the holes on the bonnet edge (6 holes along the edge nearest the screen)? Is there some sort of bracket for the plastic ducts/vents that sit either side of the boot? For some unknown stupid reason, the second bodyshop decided to remove them and I'm sure there's a bracket. Thanks Vijay

Dear Zedders, My mate has just done a verrrrrry nice matte black spray on his car. Seriously its looking like the bat mobile, i'll upload youtube vids later :) but now we are looking at the best means of keeping it clean and looking good. Does anyone please have any tips on how to keep the matte black paint looking good? and hes for any places that do a good professional 'polish' so to speak to make the paint smooth (i have no idea what he's saying but maybe you do). THANKSSSS guys, Vic

Hiya all might be a silly question but does the feeds have a restrictors in them?

Newbie question. How is the exhaust made up? Turbo - downpipe(with cat in) - middlebox - Back box? Ive got a cat back, so if i get a decat (like the one just sold in the wanted section), will that be from the turbo back? Thanks in advance.

many thanks to all - thius would not have been possible without the help of you guys - i have finally got it all back together but have a few niggles that i need more help with being a manwell virgin, The clutch bites about a 3rd of the way up and in first feels very heavy and as i am letting out to find the biting point it vibrates a little and lurches - seems like i am fighting with it when first started the car idled about 750 rpm but now idles about 1500-1750 once warmed and stopped at lights I have a noise thats sounds like its directly beneath the gear stick - sounds like a heavy rattle at lower rpm (when driving and under load) but when throttlin…

Ive been hunting high and low for some alloys for the Zed, im looking for a rear 9 x 18 and a front 8 x 18 which fill the arches nicely but struggle to find much from dealers and im a little sceptical about buying alloys from ebay.. does anyone have any recommendations? cheers James

I fiddled with the TPS today, I went by a manual/investigation on hesitation to make sure I had the right voltages for it - TPS is to have an input of 5V and a variable output of 0.45-4V and then an earth too Mine was set at o.23V which is probably confusing everything, I've now set it up to 0.451V and it rotates all the way to 4V however it seems that my full throttle is a little higher than that and a 'no load' appears on my multi meter..? But fine its set up properly now, I also looked at the Idle connector on it too, the manual says a 12V input and when throttle is closed a 9-10V output, when you push the throttle it should then disconnect and show 0V I me…

Can anyone tell me where these seals go? They may not even be for my car as the first bodyshop just dumped all my stuff outside :(

Hi. Just went to fit them to my car there as i have my bumper on. Tho, the connector on my car and the one on the 99lights are completely different. Phoned up from the company i got them from and was advised i would need an adapter or some kind of different loom? I was pritty sure these lights should just be plug and play, does anybody know of problems like this or where to get and adapter loom or what i may require? cheers Craig

Saw it yesterday afternoon as I cycled past redhouse lane! First one I've seen for months.

Hi all, Could do with a little help / advice as i am having a couple of problems with my Z32 TT. Firstly the diff oil light started coming on this week. i have had look at the back of the diff, where normally there are two plugs one top to fill up the oil and one at the bottom to drain, but these arent there so where are they located on the Z? Also when i start my car from cold it wants to cut out and i have to genltly press the throttle for about 15-20sec (only upto about 1000rpm) and then when i take my foot off the revs fluctuate for about another 15sec and then it has a steady idle. Has anyone had this problem and know what the fix is? Cheers Dave

hey everyone! im getting beaten by primary school level mathematics :-( dont know whats wrong with my head this morning, cant seem to think straight, and im only mildly hungover due to various home-made flavoured vodka :-) tis a simple miles per gallon im trying to work out, i got approx 205 miles to a full tank, well, untill the fuel light came on fairly regular ( i believe its a 70 litre tank??) so how many miles to the gallon was i getting? remember to show your working out lol cheers guys

Can anyone tell me the spec/product number of this filament/bulb. It is from the map lights and I want to get an led replacement. Cheerz people, Al.

Im looking to remove the rear Hicas system. What do i need to buy and what do i need to do? i know the full steering rack comes off but what about pipes and things relating to the power steering at the front? cheers all James

Hi, before i actually purchase these will they fit with no problems ie offset etc, has anyone bought these before? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-RACE-ALLOY-WHEELS-NISSAN-300ZX-TYRES-/140449200383?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item20b36cb8ff thanks for any comments James

after months of moanig finaly got some subs fitted in the boot. only the first attempt (not ever just in the Zed) so nowhere near finished yet. I'm thinking some black leatherette for the sub boxes and some sort of perspex adaption for the amp involving some red L.E.D's. These arn't the final choice for the subs either, i didn't want to remove my others from my daily drive so just thought i'd wack these in for now.

I'm looking at storing for the winter. Is ther anything I should do (drain oil, lift off ground, spray with WD40 etc.). Never done this before so clueless :helpsmilie:

Found this on ebay. Its a Jasma catback exhaust. I've never heard of Jasma so just wanted to know if its worth the money, or should i wait for something better to come along. Ebay Link Any advice?

seriously...why? http://cgi.ebay.de/Nissan-300-ZX-orig-81tkm-BJ-97-letzten-7-/190447349352?pt=Automobile&hash=item2c578bee68 :hammer:

Just recently i've noticed a fault with my speedo. It shows completely random speeds and the needle bounces all over the place at times, for example when i started the car last night it was bouncing from 25-35mph while idling, then while driving at around 30 it shows anything from 40-60mph. if i bang on the top of the dash or the plastic cover it makes the needle jump and will sumtimes sort it out. Any idea's what might be causing it?

I need to replace some of the metal water pipes that use the id 8mm hose with hose but join then with little bits of metal pipes. How do you make those rounded protruding ends on the metal water pipes. Is this something I can get from b&q or halfords and does it have a proper name.
