Anybody know where to get some of these targa trim clips? I've been through 3 sets of trims and still don't have a complete set because people always pry he trims off and snap them -_-

For those of you who are running dual intake Would someone be willing to measure the internal diameter of both ends of the elbows please? Thanks Nick

Hi I'm in the process of fitting decat pipes and I can't get the sensors out, l have taken a seat out but I can't find where the wire finishes so I can remove it? I could cut it but I'm not sure if I should,what would you do ? Steve

Hi guys I need a new set of rubber fitted to my wheels. Currently the tyres are 235 on the front and 265 on the rear. How can you tell if the wheel can take a wider tyre as the rears look a little "stretched" to me? Cheers, Chris.

I'm trying to make a 300zx clock run on a battery. I was all confident but I cant make it work. I thought the clock was a serviceable item. So I assume the battery has insufficient current??? I have been using crocodile clips and short lengths of wire to try and get it to do something but there are no signs of life at all. Any ideas? And does anyone know which wires are which. I thought black was earth, blue was live and the others are to dim it. Help please.

Hey everyone, I thought I'd treat the car too some new sparkplugs, since I've never changed them during my ownership. I got some Ngk pfr6b-11 laser platinums, as recommended by many a forum search. So today I set about changing them, and the ones that came out were ngk bkr6ek. After a quick search these seem to be for a Toyota mr2! Now I've owned this 300zx for almost a year now, and it's never once missed a beat, it's an NA, so I'm guessing if it was a TT I'd have had a lot more problems but still, pretty shocked it worked, the plugs don't even look similar!

Hi everyone, haven't had any problems for ages. Went out in the car for a run around the other week and brakes decided to not work in slow traffic. Phooed myself and had to use gears. Ive got a set of Brembo to go on (had them for years!!) but just asking if there are any common failures now these ladies are getting older. I haven't had a look around it yet but just trying to get a little feed back before I go at looking at servo etc...... It might be just the fact I have only done about 4000 miles in the last 5 yrs. Gotta get my ass in gear this year!!! Cheers

Hi all, its been a while since i've been about and was wondering what was happening with the big re-trim group buy started last year. I have just tried to ask on the thread set up but it won't let me write anything to ask about what is happening!? Have I missed something? or is Mondo beavering away? Just I needed to know how far things have got!? Cheers Happy New Year!!

Hi, could someone give me a pointer in how to "split" apart the housing on the mirrors without damaging the housing or mirror please? I have read on US forums that on JDM mirrors, you need to remove the small screw on the underside of the casing before be able to get the glass out. You will see that my mirror housing does not have this screw in place, and I am reluctant to try prising the glass out at this stage. Thanks guys.

Yesterday, I met up with my dad and friend in his TVR for a meet and drive around Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire. Was really good fun! Car was one of 5 other jap cars (out of over 100 cars) and got many looks and comments! It was a nice cruise out, just shame about the weather! Leaving the car park was good fun. Loads of people were lining the pavements around Stur and it felt like starting a gumball rally! Lots of people taking pictures and cheering. I gave them a couple of revs and a wheel spin or two :lol:

Saw a silver 300zx in maghull liverpool about 1pm 31st dec turned left off northway towards the square

Hi i know how to do it I got the tools and the pump but is it ok to do it do i have to drain the oil put new or refill it Never change it from 2009 [emoji26] forgot about it Sent from my G8142 using Tapatalk

I have just checked the ATF on my 93 N/A, warmed the car up, put it into Park, dipped and oil nearly clear with a tint of red, re-dipped after cleaning and no show on the dipstick. so I suppose a top up is required. I have Castrol ATF TQ DIII spare, is that ok to use? Thanks in advance!

I've seen a set of side ducts that fit in the dummy lights on my uk bumper only problem is there in the states ,anyone know if I can get them in the uk

Ok, Quick description, my car has been for sale on the 300zx facebook page, this guy from Belguim shows interest and after a while says he'll have it and come tomorrow, he then pays the money,no haggling, to my paypal. , i then go to withdraw money and it gives some security reason not to, but says it could take up to 21 hours now every thing seems ok, except...i have a nagging doubt about him, empty facebook entry no posts on any clubs. my worry is he will cancel the payment and it refunds while he's driving away!! i mean, does he even live in belguim Any help would be appreciated

I've been considering getting some new 18 or 19" alloys for a while. I'm after a nice stance, but nothing extreme. I'd also like the tires to have flat side wall with little or no stretch/bulge. I also need to clear 350z Brembos and discs at the front. At the moment I like the XXR 527 (http://www.xxrwheels.com/wheels/xxr-527), but they only do certain size widths and two offsets (+15 or +38). FRONT 8.75J +15 245/30/19 REAR 9.75J +38 265/30/19 Can this setup be made to work or am I miles off?

What are peoples' thoughts on having different diameter wheels on the two axles? 18" front and 19" rear, for example? I seem to remember it was quite a popular thing for SW20 MR2s back in the day, but how about on our beasties...?

As Above Is there anyone near York that can help with an oil change for the auto box? Thanks

Oh the embarrassment. I've got the dash off, cluster off, wires taped and labelled, duct work off, stored, sensors in the right places, bolts back in holes so they don't get lost.... but I can't get the *expletive* heater box anywhere near off. Shiny new P10 Primera heater matrix is sitting on top of my fridge waiting to go in but I'm more stuck than a stuck thing covered in glue in a tight space. I've been following various writeups as best I can (most seem to have lapsed their image hosting) but they all seem to say 'remove this, remove that' with regards to whole units, with little explanation as to how or why, so I must once more dive into the pit of wisd…

I've been a bit naughty this week. As it's the last week before I break up from work for 10 days I decided to run the Z to work. It's not moved for weeks and I think it's done it some good getting some heat into it as it's sat outside anyway! I've also got its MOT next Thursday so it's been good to make sure everything is running as it should. It's been a very busy week at work with it being the end of year but every night I have gone home with a smile on my face being greeted by the Z on the car park:)

The thread title says it all really, on idle and when driving the engine fan seems to spin up extremely fast and the car sounds like a jet engine. After listening to Tom's car on idle I'm beginning to think maybe I have a problem here. I took a quick video of it after the car had been idling for a few minutes which I'll upload to YouTube shortly. Just wondering if any of you have seen this before? Thanks

Hi to the wisdom folk of the forum, not sure if this question has been asked and answered before but here goes.. Can an OEM TT front bumper or a 99 spec front bumper fit over a FMIC or do i need to go back to standard intercoolers? thanks trev.
