General Discussions - 300ZX Related

Hi all. I recently bought one of these on fleabay:- The seller said it had been used ONCE, but even at 90psi it doesn't feel that powerful and I can slow it down quite easily. Has anyone else got one of these and if so, are they just not generally very powerful or should it maintain 2500rpm at any loading? Thanks, Dave

Thinking of buying a 300zx with coilovers, however have heard they can give a really hard ride. Is there anyway I can change the springs to give a softer ride, will this be compatible with the damping even if adjusted to softest setting?

Has anyone ever used Castrol Power Steering Stop Leak ? As I have a drip of fluid.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm 27, no claims or convictions, had license for 7 years, did have 2 years no claims, but worked away on cruise ships, and if ya don't insure a car for 2 years, you lose your no claims, arse holes... Anyways, just rang adrian flux as I saw them on the banner up top, and they wont go near me with no no claims, or if they did it would be around four grand... Car is a 92' TT LWB import, no mods, any suggestions guys??? I've spent 3 years restoring her to her former glory, and don't fancy this kick in the nuts really... :no:

You can never get bored with Zed engines that's for sure, with the right hand cambelt cover removed on this one it looked like an oil tanker had dropped its cargo off in there! seen this many times but not with no evidence of the leak before the cover was removed. More dismantling and it gets no better!! The inside of the plastic covers where dripping! So a strip down to check out the cam seals was in order. The pulleys, tensioner, sprockets etc. all removed for degreasing All cleaned and refitted sorted it out The cambelt was in very poor condition ( old ) and the oil has made it feel really odd, it looked set to l…

I thought I would take some time out from fixing the Z and write up a 'How to' or rather, how I retrimed my cockpit panels and the materials I used. Firstly I attempted the panels in a quality leather, for me this was a BIG NO NO, it looked like I had wrapped the panels up in Bruce Forsyths skin, there were creases every where but the places they were meant to be. Lucky for me I was given the material. I then decided on a visit to a local Fent shop, and after pushing past the OAP's with their latest knitting paterns, I made it to the counter. Lucky for me there was a Gent there who had built his own kit car and gave me some great advice...........'If you haven'…

Hey guys While replacing No2 injector I dropped one of the screws from the cap into the engine bay :ohmy:. I think it may have rolled into the back part of the cambelt cover. Is it now time to panic and take everything apart on a quest to try and find the bolt ? Or is it more likely that it will not cause any damage and just "drop" somewhere. Cheers Maz
