Hi all, as per the Title really. Wanting one that has tv, iPod that I can control on the unit itself, DVD, satnav radio and a decent interface if possible. Which ones do you think are good?

...I'm just reviewing the handful of screws and bits I've got left after re-trimming lol, and I notice this. I definitely remember taking it out but I can't for the life of me remember where from - does it belong near the glovebox? Everything is solid and doesn't seem to be missing anything!

Headed down to Goodwood this morning around 7am hoping to burgle the zed onto the track along with all the other soft-tops...it worked! One of the stewards said, "I no your not a soft-top but go for it!" Another massive turn out for the breakfast club at Goodwood. Really good morning...the cars were more than half way up the Lavant straight which is a record number of cars. Anyone else there? Saw a couple of people take pictures of the zed so i was happy!

Hey, I know there is a lot of confusion over the specs of a ZX , but I was wondering what of a stock auto 300zx TT the 0-60 would be, BHP, and top speed with limter removed. Its a JAP import if that makes any difference (is there any difference between the imports and UK models)? Cheers jack

as the title says cant believe im posting this but here goes lol a while back i was told by si that if i removed my dump valves it would help my car, well today got round to doing it and did it help?.........YES there is now no stutter when under boost and overall the car feels more responsive and smooth so thanks si lol (could have been that the recircs were still conected mind you but its done the job for now)

Down south, nice looking example we had a little blast, but alas i was admiring your car so much i missed my junction lol.

Relating to my other thread on here ( What power to expect ) It has come to me that my head gaskets could be the wrong size and thickness. I orginallly thought standard piston size was 87.5? or is it 87.0? I have a receipt saying that my block was rebored and hatch honed by 0.20 .5mm which made me think it was an 88mm piston overbore. So now my pistons are either 87.5 or 88mm depending on standard piston size? The head gasket supplied to me are of a 88mm bore and of .45 thickness that i was assured was the right spec i needed even with skimmed heads. Ive read a few writeups which makes me think that the bore size of the gasket should be slightly b…

Hi, Does anyone know how to remove the rubber ends from the T-Bar, as shown in the attached photo? Thanks. [ATTACH]54761[/ATTACH]

i have a set of volk racing alloys 17in with 225 tyres, what are they worth if anything. they are silver with crome outer.

hi im having problem with clutch, sometimes it gets stuck when pushed and only if i pump the clutch it frees up. dont think it needs a new one but as im new to owner not too sure. when it is stuck it doesnt go into gear easily. if its working normally the biting point is fairly low so it cant be clutch cable? any ideas??

The rear end of a Z, with no rear bumper on, must be an import. Reason - I am changing the UK rear bumper for a JDM one and I need to know where the number plate holder needs welding on :cowboy: thanks in advance! :batman:

Stripped this out of my scrapper under the wheel arches either side? Not sure what it does/called, any help please Thanks

Anyone do cheap re sprays Near essex, For a zx

Well, planning to turn my roof bars black this weekend, but decided that with the Targas off, the black roof bars would look rather silly with a white roof! So spent most of this afternoon painting the roof black. The finish is not as good as I would like but then it's my first time doing something like this. What do you think?

Any experiences of order from Z1 into the UK? Thanks, Tom

I found these photos on a Friends Facebook Photo Album, just wondered if it belongs to a Member on here? Looks quite tidy! :cool:

Hi ive been thinking for some time now with very mixed views on what sort of power i will be expecting once the car is finished. I would like around 600bhp at the fly what do you guys think? No idea on torque. New spec list to date: Engine mod's: GT28RS turbo's (Disco potato) HKS actuators, Greg dupree inconel exhaust manifolds, Greg dupree Specially Z 3" Stainless steel split down pipes, Greg dupree 3" flexi de-cats, Haward & Scott rear boxes, Ported & skimmed heads, Ported plenum, Ported inlet manifold, JWT 400+ aggressive race cams, JWT heavy duty vtc springs, Wiseco pistons 88.0 slight over bore, Eagle H beam Con…

Its been like it for ages now but decided today to do something about it. Basically the left hand exhaust 'splutters' whereas the right hand one is as it should be. I changed the coil packs over left to right but its still the same, however I did notice the spark plug in the rear-right (looking from the front) had a bit of oil on the threads, not a great deal though. Would this indicate a problem? I've done a search but not really found the answers. What would I need to check now? :blink: thanks in advance, the car goes ok but I can't help but think its not as good as it could be! :scooter:

Hi all. Saw a pearl white import today G reg parked up on Petersham road. Was it you?

I'm trying to decide weather or not to give my car a slight Bodykit and i'm looking for options. fromt, back and side skirts. I'd like to see some pics of White Z's whith kits on to see what they look like then i can decide which way to go. I may just change the front, back or add sideskirts (or a combination/full kit) but i'd like to see some efforts before i make up my mind. If you have any pics of White z's with Kits on them, please share :) Peter

A big thanks to Jeff, Jamie and Lynda! I collected my car this morning after having the A/C pump replaced. And it was much needed on the drive home - it was hot and sunny outside but once again the inside of the car was like a fridge. Excellent!! Oh, and I had some new front discs/pads fitted which have definitely improved braking; an oil and filter change and a good undersealing!! Thankfully the underside of the car is clean and sound. It looked OK from what I could see when I bought it last year, but is was comforting to hear Jeff say it was good. So not all UK cars are rusty!!! Finally a "get well soon" message to Jamie's wife as she is not very wel…

Not sure about this Guess he had his reasons though :lol: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/largepic.asp?i=1818888&noPics=9&make=NISSAN&model=300ZX&imgsrv=1&current=3

Do these have to be red? I'd like to change mine to clear or smoked. These are the ones at the sides of the car - not the ones on the rear lights. do they have to light up or is that only in certain countries?
