Anyone happen to know the nut thread sizes for these nuts on the front top arm? I want to replace the nuts as the oem ones are a bit long and bind on the aftermarket arm due to the amount of lowering. these are the ones in question:

Just clicked over my 1st 1000miles in my Zed tonight :clap: Not a massive milestone, but a sweet one. Finished upgrading my stereo and speakers so went for a drive, reached the milestone whilst the ipod had chosen to play a set a mate of mine did in Ibiza a couple of summers ago. Life is all good in my hood :thumbup:

Well, i've had my stock bumper modified. had Car mad vents put in with ultra bright LED's for sidelights at the back of them then had them blended in with the front bumper. Spent a lot of time and money and i have to Admit................i'm not that keen on it. :( Might have looked better on a darker colour car like black maybe. It's grown on me since i first seen it but i may still be in the market for a new one. Perhaps 99 spec. At least this is a custom one off bumper though that no one else will have. Peter

I got a young lad who works at a specialised VW garage to change the pads and discs on the zed today. He does all the work on my Scirocco. I was running a session at the local sports centre and on my way back to the centre i buzzed him to see if he had done the car, he had and came to meet me at the sports centre. He got out of the car with a glint in his eye, and i quote "...f**k me Paul, I have got to get me one of these..... I mean i've been in some fast cars , but that just takes the p*ss..." It was at that point that i pointed out to him that she was still in lazyboy mode, i.e. overdrive not on and not in power mode. He then said that he would do any m…

Hello as above need a rear shock or 2, had a look on the net but all seems to from the USA to get them? Any suppliers in the uk?, id prefer new ones performance or standard, but would settle for some second hands if had to be Cheers.

If I lift the carpet on the passenger side you can see the ECU and wires n stuff. Am I missing a peice of trim? I would've expected somethin to rest your feet on.. Cheers

black z parked up in the circle danderhall.

todays job was to remove the water temp sensors and give them a good clean up . the connecters were shot and full of crap . the wiring was very hard and brittle so i cut it back about 3 inches . the core of the wire was still nice and supple so just crimped in a new section and replaced the original plugs with insulated spade connecters . ive now got nice clean rock solid connections on both senders .i just put a blob of silicon on top of the spades to keep everything nice and water tight . cost of job was about £1 . a very easy mod and im pretty sure this is gonna be a big help in getting her running nice and smooth.

I would like to try a boost leak test, please can anyone tell me can this be done from home with the air suppy comming from a spair wheel as i cant move my car yet what ill need to do ect please?

has anybody ever tried going into nissan and asking for a replacement ptu . i know there was a recall on these in america and possibly japan but not the uk . as a lot of our cars are imports would we still be covered . ive thought about going and doing the asking but nissan dont seem to recognise the 300 anymore .

About 5.15 today, only caught a couple of glimpses as I was stuck in traffic - silver zed with what looked like a black standard rear spoiler heading out of central Portsmouth and then into North End from Rudmore r/about. Not one I've seen before, another local zed???

Only just bought my zed, the brakes are terrible! I was thinking of getting a set of used front calipers and rebuilding them, then swapping them over. Being an early zed it's got the aluminum calipers. Are the later ones a straight swop? If so would the pistons be interchangeable? so I could make a good pair if some of the pistons are knackered. Thanks in advance.

Not seen these before? not sure if they look a little odd or not :saddam: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/nissan-300zx-mirrors-/180545321593?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a0956fa79

Looking for a boost controller but don;t know what it needs. Does it Have to be Dual solenoid? any brands i shoudl stay away from? also, if anyone has one they are getting rid of PM me :)

Can anyone shed some light on what the difference is between the 8 channel and 4 channel AEM ignition module and benefits of each please?

Just wondering how many Zeds have been captured by googles street view cameras ? Only one I could think of was ZedWorld to start with, I wasn't at home when they past my house !

...........Getting black smoke from exuast, i have searched for this but nothing really is conclusive! Any thoughts! there is no boost leaks checked 3 times now since putting her back together and is spot on. Dave

Just found out i have no Clutch Booster and glad i pay my £20 per year as i need to ask wether it is managable? WIll it be too stiff and should i leave it out? As you are aware its hard to find one without getting it from Z1 (my last choice) got some piccies up though! well chuffed apart from missing a clutch booster to whihc the guy who sold me the conversion said it had it. I thought it was the fluid resovoir, I was told its the black circular thing but i remember that being attached to the pedal so it cant be that missing

Trying to find some pattern rear caliper seal kits cant seem to find any at the motor factors, nissan ones are £60 .Anyone know of any one who sells them tried ebay as well thanks.:thumbup:

just went to the garage and the work they have done is absolutely Superb. i cannot fault it one bit. Only problem is my Manual Conversion is ready to go in and they realised something i didn't.......... Got no Clutch Servo for the booster :( Iv'e heard the clutch is managable without it but as my wife would be driving it aswell i really would like to locate one of these in working order. Does anyone happen to know if they fit from another Zed car or any ways around this? Cambelt has already been done and waterpump so not looking to take much off :( Cheers all (can;t wait to be at a show next time )
