Just seen this on pistonheads http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1835817.htm Just wondering; would you buy it for that price or if you could afford it ? Smashing looking Z, if i was him I would have some more pics of interior and the engine, if its looks at neat on the outside, wonder how the inside is !

Just had the MOT, a crowd of people surrounded the car asking what was it. Young apprentice kids hay lol. MOT tester could not believe the condition and had to ask me twice on how old it was. Any way passed with flying colours................I knew it would but i still get worried every time i go for one. Tax next, roll on. Happy days, shame its raining when i drove it there, spent four hours cleaning it the other day.:cursing:

I used to detest mudflaps of all sorts, but I found some lurking at the back of the garage, so thought I'd put them up against my Z... and really raher like them! I know some people hate them, but what do you think on a white car? clash too much? or look smart? white and black seems to be the theme that is going on with my car, so feedback would be appreciated, thanks! :w00t:

Looks like "JAPANESE PERFORMANCE CAR" want to do a 5 or 6 page spread on my Zed plus a good write up.They are going to travel to Nottingham for the shoot.Replied to their email so just waiting for info where and when.Hope the Grim Reaper dont get me first LOL.

Hi, im not trying to get info on breaking into a zed i assure you, but im a bit paranoid that its going to get broken into or nicked for a joy ride or something. Are they secure atall? Do they have an immobiliser? What is the nissan anti theft system? On previous cars ive had a detachable steering wheel, but this has got the functions on it i dont want to lose. Mark

Hi there all, have a 1995 TT 2+2 300zx, sitting at home, the starter motor relay behind front wheel arch has been replaced because car would not start (no crank or anything) however did not make a difference. Hooked up between pos and neg terminals of relay plug so that it starts, however because the old alternator was overcharging massively (replaced now and charging fine) there are a few problems. Have no power steering, auto box has entered a limp home mode perhaps (when moving off in drive from a standstill, attempts to drive off in 3rd gear). If auto box is put into 1st, then 2nd, then drive when you move off car still has full power. Additionally HICAS light is on o…

Hi, me again!! o/ Jeff says I need to replace my HICAS ball joints as there's quite a bit of play in the rear wheels. Are the Skyline ones the same and/or are the ones off eBay ok to use? Once I change them, will I need to have the alignment done? Thanks again!! ;)

Hi as the yellow plastic bit that joins the door lock barrel to the locking rod is always breaking has anyone ever found a raplacement from any other nissan model that could be picked up at a breakers ?? thks Kurt

Does anybody know the difference between Nissan Motorsports Japan (NISMO)and Nissan Motorsports USA (apart from the obvious geographical difference) From what I can gather Nissan Motorsports USA was the old Nissan Competition Department which is not part of Nismo (Nissan Motorsports Japan). Are they just seperate departments of Nissan???

alright chaps . can anyone tell me if this part number is for the seies 1 or series 2 ptu the numbers on it are as follows 22020 97e00 D156-02 3y29 also i dont fancy hard wiring it if it is a series 2 , would prefer the plug and play loom . has anyone got one or know the best place to pick one up from . cheers guys

As above! Bought the car with them fitted, theres an adjuster on the top of the shock, other than that I no nothing about them! Anyone run them? Know anything about them? etc? Matt.

Hi guys, mines missing the passenger part. The guy i bought the car off said he can get it of the guy he bought the car off but he hasnt got back to me yet. Im just wondering if they are readily available and cheap or not? He said he took it out to let the heat under the bonnet escape, but i prefer it to have all the trim it was made with :D Thanks Mark

Hi, Quiack question, blue smoke on start up and over run, what can cause this turbo seals maybe? And is it a engine out job to get the turbos off? cheers Mark

I spent bundles of time and money completely rebuilding my Zed, every nut and bolt has been canged and it has had all the best parts that money can buy. I really wanted to get it to the stage where I could take it to JAE, and I think it is probably not going to happen :thumbdown:. It is now at the stage where it is running, it has about a months MOT left on it and I put six months Tax on it. Thing is I have a few issues with it that really need sorting out before I can do anything with it. Firstly it is running hot, im hoping its a blocked Rad or the viscose fan clutch. I bought a new fan clutch from the US and its the wrong one :angry:. I have just recieved a …

Outside lane and motoring:wink: Looked like it could have been heading Tamworth direction? Zed World maybe?

I'm not selling or arranging any sales here but just thought I'd post in case anyone is looking for parts for an pre-87 z31. A guy pulled up next to me when I was driving my z31 the other day to ask if I was looking for parts as he had one in his scrap yard in Irvine, I took a run out to see it yesterday because I'm looking for some headlights and it turned out to be an early one (mine is a facelift and headlights are different size so no good for me). Most parts still seemed to be there and the boot was full of bits n bobs including what appeared to be a pair of newish looking coilovers. I'm not selling or advertising on their behalf but if anyone is in need …

For my Bayside blue Slicktop : (excuse my dodgy photochopping) Polished Rim/Dish with : 1. Polished Centre 2. Silver Centre 3. Grey/Gunmeal Centre 4. Other (no, Im not serious about the blue centre...but welcome suggestions) ??

Getting my coilovers fitted as we speak along with adjustable tension rods and adjustable front camber arms... Hopefully should make a world of difference. THen getting my ebc setup properly tonight so cannot wait. Car is going to be sooo much better i hope! Really excited!

Sorry, I feel like I'm hogging this forum, (I'm a little paranoid!), but......... Since having had the cambelt/thermostat/water pump done at Zedworld a little over a week ago, the car has behaved impecably. However on Friday I took it on a longish drive up to the in-laws in Buckinghamshire. Other than the slight vibration at motorway speeds the car was a joy to drive and made overtaking up the A420 and A41 past slower moving traffic a walk in the park. Big smiles!! :) Anyway, I got stuck in traffic in Aylesbury. It a very hot day and up till then I was over the moon that the temperature guage hadn't moved any further than the perfectly horizontal position i…
