hi guys is this easy, all i can see is two rusty nuts on the inner part edge of the boot, do i have to take off all the trimming, thank you jj

Just found this, hope it's not a repost.. but IMO, Probably one of the nicest Z's out there, wheel choice not great, although they are Enkeis.. but still.. hope someone on here has bought it, a real stunner of a car. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1832925.htm

Hi everyone! Yesterday as I pulled away from a traffic light I`ve heard and felt a noise apparently from the rear of the car. This noise happens only in first and sometimes second gear and feels like driving on stones.... Three maybe four times "knock knock, knock" and than everything normal... Tomorrow I`m gonna have it checked but I was wondering if any of you guys could tell me what to look for. One more thing...before that to happen I was driving the car quite hard but that`s not the first time....so I`m thinking that my problem could come from suspension, springs... Would that be possible? Thank you.

What's going on here lol, I've seen it on a few Z's in pics so I know it's not just me, the rear light centrepanel is out of line where it meets the driverside lens. It sticks out towards the rear about 2mm and really is beginning to cheese me off, I've tried removing the seal from behind, tightening up the nuts further nothing budges it! It can push in fine by hand but can't be tightened into place.. am I missing something simple?

Looking for some guidance from anyone who has these fitted. What have you done with the stock ducts and undertray as these are too small for the Pace's? I have a 99 spec bumper and am trying to figure out how to maximise the air flow to the I/C's. Obviously the ducts are beneficial in directing the incoming air but are they entirely necessary or will the inlets on my bumper be sufficient? If possible, want to try and avoid fabricating new ducts. Cheers

Spent the afternoon fitting the K-Sport 330mm front kit with DS2500 pads. Just thought I'd pop my thoughts down to help anyone considering them. The kit is absolutely top notch. The calipers and discs are top draw stuff! The brackets are very very well made and I have NO concerns over strength. The pads are so easy to fit, the bolts etc all spot on. Instructions are typically poor, but the job is very easy to figure out. Small let down in the shape of the supplied hoses. Only one line lock and made of rubber only, like a grommet. Couldn't or wouldn't get on with those so used my old braided hoses and adapted the caliper connection. Absolutely no need to r…

Hi, Can pearlescent white paint, the type used on my import, be sourced in the UK? Thanks.

Any ideas what a true valuation for my car would be once it is finished for insurance purposes to try to get an agreed value? Have many people got agreed values on here? For those that dont know its a series 2 '93 UK manual TT Having it fully restored & resprayed. Any thoughts?

Love the decals on this :thumbup: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-24-Tamiya-Nissan-300-ZX-Plastic-Car-model-/110557732751?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_ToysGames_ModelKits_ModelKits_JN&hash=item19bdc11f8f Anybody got lifesize for my car :blink:

Hello folks! As some of you knows, I want to buy a Z I had one before but I can't tell anything about it as I had it for a very short time. My Q is, which one will be better for me, n/a or TT? I need a car that is reliable and reasonably cheap in maintenance as I'm 20yrs old and my sallary is around 1200/1400 per month. I'm saving around 6oo/65o/7oo quid every month. Don't talk about insurance as I know it's mega expensive that's why It will be insured for my parent, How much do you spend for your Z every month ? [stock car, without mods] Sorry for my English guys, It's not perfect but I hope you understand what I mean, thanks Thanks…

Which 2 wires is it that you sometimes need to switch around so that the ariel only comes up when the radio is on? Thanks lee

hi all just a quick one on my j spec i noticed there is extra wiring on the headlights dip beam they have taken the headlight feed from the passenger side fed it to a fet relay which then goes through 2 fuses (one for each side) then to the headlamps anyone one got any idea why this is added/what it's for? noticed my mates jspec also had this added

Its a 1990 manual twin turbo. i get a little noise in 2nd and 4th, it sounds like its wearing somthing in the box. just had the box out to replace the clutch so not looking foreward to doing it again. i didn't notice the noise at first because there was a horrible whirring sound from the fan on the interiour light, after changing the clutch and sorting out the fan noise i then discovered the gear box noise. its not to loud, but very distinktive in 2nd and 4th only. gear box oil was topped up when the clutch was changed so i don't think its that. any help would be greatly appriceated.

Yep he has let himself out!!!:confused1::confused1: There is a new slicktop project on the way! Bobgenie said.... So there you have it a new slicktop to be created incorporating Bob's existing power/drive units in a slicktop shell. Naturally im delighted to be asked to assist.:rockon: I have already sourced an imaculate slicktop for the project which I have hidden away till its time to start work.(aug). Not even Bob has seen it yet.:devil: We are still in the planning stage hence my various posts requesting help, information and opinions. "This thread is useless without pics" Yes I know but you will need to wait a few weeks more. Y…

are they actually any good?

What does a det sensor do?

This 'V' configuration is taken from an Australian Time Attack S14 running an RB26DETT conversion I'm now seriously considering fitting a full underbody tray/diffuser and running a similar 'V' configuration on my 'Z' ('MONSTER' your imput also, please bud) :thumbup1:

Anybody got any more spec details on this 'Z'? Youtube clip: All I know is it's a 1991 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo run in Time Attack by Unique Auto Sports and produces approx 576 rwhp

I am in the middle of blanking off my recircs, and on the drivers side theres a bit of oil in the pipework either side of the recirc. Does this indicate anything? I've done a search but cant find anything! :helpsmilie: Also, is this the sort of thing I need to blank them off?

Well I have been busy on and off in the last couple of days. Not needed the car so I set about removing the headlights :glare: Not too bad a job, just the inner rear bolt one ratchet at a time!!! Wife actually helped me with her small hands, although she takes great delight in showing me her cuts!!! :blink: Luckily, if I can call it that :biggrin: the passenger side one was missing, just a 6mm bolt dropped in from the top to make it look like there was one in - result!!! Heated up the gunge and got the glass off, someone as had them off before so it was not too bad. :sweatdrop: So many jobs can be done whilst they are out, I knew some of the adjusters were broke…

Just noticed these. They appear to have been hit by the electric fan blades. I think it's been like this for some time. Everything is working perfectly though, so I am at a loss as to what they are for.

my brother spotted a white zed drive straight past my house in emsworth earlier. possibly madmax? if that beast is finally on the road... shame my zed wasnt outside to see, was in portsmouth at the time!

Oreet folks, I'm after some of that black skanky stuff that's used to hold the lights together and to seal em on the car, would like to get the same stuff with the same properties as originally used if poss, anyone know a brand name? Cheers... Tude.

I have one.............................whats it do/for:helpsmilie:

I put a 3G big brake kit conversion on my car a while back. I now need new rotors (or full disks) for them. I can't seem to get any response from 3G and I don't know if they're still trading. Does anyone know where I could get some from or whether any other disks will fit this kit? I'm reluctant to purchase a completely different big brake kit from another manufacturer. Ta
