Hi I'm having an issue with my Z it starts up fine then 20 seconds later she runs like a pig, spluttering and popping, I can rev up and drive her but she's not right, I have changed the plugs but no change????

Peeps My Varrstoen lug nuts have seen much better days, so I’d like to replace them. Really, I’d like a set of Rays Duralumin red anodised nuts, but at £186 for a set they’re just too dam expensive. Ideally I’d like to stick with red, short, closed end lug nuts but not finding any that aren’t cheep Chinese tat. Recommendations please!

I haven't used my zed much lately and the last couple of times I've started it, it's run rough for the first mile then it's been fine. I just put this down to damp through lack of use and didn't think much of it. I tried to start it today and it turns over, but won't start. I can hear the fuel pump priming when I turn the ignition on and I've got a spark. I removed the cas and turned it by hand and I can hear the injectors firing. Has anyone got any suggestions ?

Hi, if anyone is breaking a TK3 Z and have the following panels in mint condition, then please let me know. 1) Pass side Targa. 2) Pass Side door. All to suit a 93 J Spec LWB TT, ( not sure if any of that makes any real difference). Ta Sayers

Went to the petrol station yesterday and I had some trouble opening the flap.... Is there a way of tightening the wire as it feels as though it's just stretched over time?

Hey guys. Is this all I need to install the directional blower?

just been on Z32 wiki for a look and a message popped up that the site is closing down! thats alot of info about the Z32 going to disappear! :sad: dan.

Simon's "Baja" post reminded me of this gem which appeared on TT.net. If you can stand over 7 minutes of this stuff.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUV2HJd7ihM

Moron cuts off the back end of a clean 300zx claiming to be making a baja Z. :lol: The levels of mongaloidary are waaayyyy off the scale.

Hi, can anyone advise where to Purchase a complete Brake caliper rebuild kit, including pistons, Thanks Sayers

A bit of a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone (who is based in the Soth)is going near Bradford in the next couple of weeks, that could pick up a set of wheels for me? Willing to cover any costs etc

Apparently a Datsun Z car - assume it'll be a 240.

Has anyone had a slightly squeaky or noisy slip ring/squib? Mine has a very slightly squeak at 3/4 turn and continues from the same spot at the next turn. I assume it's the slip ring as it sounds like it's plastic squeaking against plastic. Has anyone had similar and used a bit of lube to quieten? I'd imagine a small blob of PTFE grease would cure it, but could it be anything else?

Had my car in for timing belt and related parts, track down a boost leak and general check over. While it was there, I also managed to visit the Haynes museum and Funkysi before picking up the next day. All good. Thanks Jim.

Caught a glimpse of a 300zx whilst watching Goblin Garage today. Familiar to anyone?

On to the next stage of sorting the blue wide arch out. The central locking. This has 2 issues, not sure they'd be related at all but thoughts on both would be awesome if anyone can help. 1. When using the alarm fob, it's like it's the wrong way round. So when you turn the car off and set the alarm on, the door is unlocked, so I still have to then use the key to lock it and have the alarm on. Likewise, to start the car, the alarm fob has the door locked. Could this be something silly like 2 wires round the wrong way somewhere? 2. The passenger door does not lock or open with the central locking. This is both from the alarm fob and also doesn't do anythin…

Need new full exhaust- where are they available- any recommendations for upgrade but only sensible ones- don't want two dustbins at the back!!

So I followed the last few days of threads about traders and fees and now the contribution section. Called me old fashioned ( please do I am proud to be a grown up ) but this is becoming sureal, I don't get it, this is the thin end of the wedge for the forum credibility surely? I thought the 300zx forum / club had more about it than to resort to allowing the members subscribing and then donating to keep traders on board. Just my take on it of course but all appears a bit unseemly.. Jeff

There was an article in the paper yesterday regarding the new bands for the taxation on cars, l did not read all of it but it sounds as though Z owners could be in for a nice 'shock'. Basically apart from pure electric vehicles, all other vehicles will pay road tax even those currently rated at '0' now. An example given showed a 5.3 litre Mustang currently paying £480 a year road tax being reduced to £140 a year.!!! Surely this must mean that Zeds will be similarly reduced and down to £140 per year. Fingers crossed, something good may be coming our way.

I don't use my 300 very much in the winter months but the last 3 times I have been out for a spin the hicas light stays on for a minute or 2 then goes out ,I have checked all fluids put all looks as it always does. Anyone have any ideas or is it nothing to worry about?

Yesterday I was given a present from an old Nissan tech I know, as it was being thrown away with some old stock and he kindly rescued it for me instead......:clap::biggrin::clap: Unfortunately it was the only Z old stock being binned!..... lol

Hi Guys What engine oil filters are you using as Nissan OEM only seems available in US? Thanks Martin

Hey guys, sadly ran into another hopefully small issue with my 300zx. Came to start it this morning and I'm met with nothing but clunky clicking noise. It's been sat over the weekend and last run last week with no issues or problems. I took a quick video to give a better indication (: After speaking with a few friends think it could be a faulty starter motor ?
