hey everyone, as my zed has the standard speakers still in it i thought i would spruce up the sounds a little. it seems there might be room for some 6x9s int he door cards at the front, has anyone done this before? and if so any guidance to be offered? many thanks

Hi all, right had this leak for a long time now. It`s evident on the bottom of the crank in front of the sump but behind the pulley, i`m guessing this is just where it drains too. So far i`ve had replaced all cam shaft seals, crank seal, rocker covers have been resealed along with the 120k service pack. Pulling the belt cover back, i can see the pulleys have oil on them so obviously the belt too..great. So am i right in suspecting that unless the cams are scored the pulleys themselves are the likely culprits. If so do they have o rings or do they just wear internally? Cheers in advance.

Hi, I have just recentely got my old Z back off my brother he dosent want it anymore and said said I could have it back for £150 lol so I couldnt resist. The body work is good, hardley no rust just needs a spray as the paint work is dull and a few little scratches ect. It is a n/a auto at the minute and sure this question has been asked several times but here I go lol, Is it a simple swap, are the engine mounts ect the same or is welding needed. also is the wiring loom the same or do I need a TT one? I know the ecu will be different, will I have to change the front bit of the prop or the whole thing? I know a na auto box wont last five minutes so hopef…

Eek, god I hate MOT time. Its not even that I dont think it will pass because im sure it will. I think its just the unknown, what could be there that I havnt spotted... Argh! So glad when its done and over for another year! :pinch:

Has any body got the post code for JAE or a proper address please so i can put it in my sat nav.

Hello Im thinking about putting a boost contoller on my car. Can i use a manual one for now? Where does it go? I did wonder if i needed 2 having seperate pipework for each turbo. Am i getting it wrong? Cheers

Whats going on. I hadn't seen a zed in the flesh for easily 6 months. I left mine at home for a hour and was in the VW when a white one went past on my way towards the manor. Then 10 minutes later a red one flew past while near crystal peaks. I only bought my zed just last week and have been keep an extra careful eye out for others and the day i leave it behind 2 come along at once.

Shim Sham Flim Flam my car is going to be repaired on the 18th just getting transportation quotes. Its going to Jimmer to do the head gasket and a few other bits. And John Dixon to put the new emerald system on :scared:. Then off for a Tune and an MOT then finally my Zed will be on the road :cool3: Cant wait to finally get it all sorted and running right! JAE next year...

OK. ive found my stereo has the yellow wire with the click together connectors off. reading up it seems this is the Constant 12v power. where should this connect too? its not the blue loose one that has a 3amp fuse is it? cant see any connector on any loom to connect this too :(

Has any one got the diameter of the Maf , the end the air filter fits on . thanks

Would you recommend for a manual ? Cheers

Will be loading up for JAE first thing in the morning, have got several parts for members anyhow so is there anyone else need any parts, batteries , spark plugs, etc. will save on the postage for you. Cheers, here`s to a good weekend!!:dance: Jeff

Hi All As you probably know my nephew has just bought our grey Z. He's asked me what spark plugs I advise ? Not an expert, so could I ask your preferences please before advising him ? Its a TT, JWT CHIP, HYBRIDS, 345 BHP. Thanks

i have one of the stillen nose panels, is it? with the four vents and oval ducts. i quite like it it came on the car but should i blank the holes off to stop my maf getting wet, not that it is to my knowlegde but it may explain why the maf reacently died. cant imagine il be getting too much benifit from these holes in any event? :whistling:

Hi All, I do not know what it is (im guessing some kind of oil feed/return?) but I hate it and I either want to delete it or hide it somewhere. Not my car, just a google pic: Could someone kindly tell me what it is and point me in the right direction of how to do so? Many thanks, Tom

Hi all, new to the scene, long time lover of the 300 and now looking at buying one. I've hit a small problem, at times I need to take the 3 kids out with me in my car rather than the wifes so require a 2+2, but if I buy a 300 it would have to be a TT. From my research the TT (early 90's anyway) didn't have the 2+2 option. Is this a easy fix? Can I get my hands on the rear seats etc from a 2+2 and put them in the TT?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1993-Nissan-300-ZX-/300457011838?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item45f4a22a7e Fancy spending all that money to get 450bhp when all they needed to do was take it as standard to FC Tuning :lol: Lovely looking Zed and nice mod list I must say.

Mate took me out in his firrari 360, it was pretty quick I must say but diddnt feel as fast as my zed (silver streak) was pretty disapointed at the interior to compared to the zed but the noise was amazing, it was an smg model and my god can it rev high, all in all I much prefered my zed, cant wait to own one again in the future.

Have had some prices to remove the stone chip and a dent on my sills , silly prices .can any one put some pics of sympathetic side skirts not the veilside type but more smoother and in keeping with the car . thanks

Hi, i need a clutch for my upcoming conversion - i was hoping to get a good uprated for about the £250-£300 area - is this possible? are the xedy clutches any good - do i reaplce with the nismo spigot bearing or standard (oohh a whole new world of complications) i know the rps is highly rated but i was not hoping to spend that at this time regards dave

Been looking for ages for the twinz rear in black and here`s one they have done for a customer, very nice but suits a white car better :yes:
