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

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.

hi just wondering if anyone could help my front drivers side indicator is not working.iv tryd changing the bulb but no joy and i cant find my multimeter,also tryd checking fuse but im sad to say the fact thats its all in japanese and im rather portly:angry: i cant get under the dash to pull all the fuses out and check 1by1. is this a common problem(my mates s13 done the same) or am i being an idiot. cheers

came back today from shopping with my horn going full blast dunno if thats part of the alarm or wot disconnected the battery left it for 15 mins then came back put the battery connector back on and fired up the car and then after 5 mins the horn/alarm starts again but the engine aint stopped so guessing its not the immobilizer/alarm thats the problem now, as i thought the engine would of cut out, any1 any ideas or had something similar :angry:

Hi Anyone know where I can get hold of cheapish front brake discs for my 1990 300zx? 26mm thick i think. cheers Mark

I'm sure this will get a flurry of responses and possibly a hot debate will ensue, but just sharing my personal experience. Now used 2 tankfuls each of Tesco Momentum 99 and Shell V-Power in my Z NA, and I can definitely say that with the Momentum, the car feels better. Obviously both perform better than 95 RON! Not saying this will be true for everyone, but for me the Tesco product is definitely better. The fact that it's cheaper is a welcome bonus.

Hi guys. well ive finally got another z!! :cool3: Its not perfect but its in good nick. Problem is there is rust bubbles on the osr arch. now it was repaired by zedworld 2 years ago. So someone has told me its going to keep coming back!! A painter i know has said he could do a temporary repair for £200. but it may last 6 months it may last a year!! Problem is ive started noticing a few paint mismatches all over the car :sad: So my question is, how much roughly fo a repair and full respay cost? not talking about bare metal as i know that could be anything upto 5k!! Cheers in advance

Red Zed, St George's bridge, Doncaster last night private plate ending in MRK. Kitted and shiney.

I took a video of what my car is doing. View My Video Its hard to tell but its like a violent choking at about 3500 revs when boost starts to spool. It done this about a month ago and a fellow member suggested a boost pipe had come off, i couldn't find anything out of place and it was fine after that day. I put it down to air in the fuel lines as it had been sitting jacked up on one side for a while. But then i could freely rev it, now it struggles. My friend suggested that I've got a perished actuator pipe as this happened to his skyline, but i cant even see them let alone get to them. It feels electrical to me, as if its cutting ignition. Any id…

i have almost complted my manual conversion but cannot get the car to start - all lights are on and evrything electrical seems to works but nothing at the starter - i have fully charged the battery - i have checked the connections at my starter and they are tight (it was my original starter so i know that to be alright) - i found the thread on the starter relay bypass which i have done (put a wire in the connector with the black/yellow wires) - i have tried the gearstick in all positions - i have tried the neutral switch connected and not - i have a toad alarm/immobiliser - the rest of the alarm is working fine and i didn't knowingly disconnected anything - i am out of id…

On a zed, am i correct in thinking there are two fans? An electric one and a viscous one? Should/do either of them cut out above a certain RPM. My car has a dodgy sensor that needs looking at (o2 sensor im sure of it) but when holding it at revs the other day as it was climbing past 2800rpm I think it was fan noise dropped massivly as if one had stopped, letting the revs drop down the fan noise came back. Is that normal?

Just curious what you all used to stick the stuff down. Is there any that I can get from local places such as b&q or halfrauds etc etc

i realy hate it every time i go on ebay or pistonheads or ebay some body has advertised there car as 400, 500 or even 600bhp when clearly they havent got a clue about theas cars with no proof and some times no evidence they have even been tuned:censored: when we come to sell ours with a dyno sheet for say 350bhp some fools are going to say "i can get one with 500bhp for much cheeper than yours" some times i despair:death:
