Following on from a previous thread about the red Z that failed at auction and the comments about classic cars..... I went to a classic car auction just very recently and was genuinely shocked to see that MOST of the entries were what used to be called Tetleys (Tetley Bitters) ! Much rust on display and a lot of them hadn't even been hoovered ! Very few were what you would consider immaculate/restored. They mostly seemed just tired older cars. The most surprising entry of the day was a 2004 BMW 640 Convertible.....not immediately considered a classic imo. It's appeal ? It used to belong to Tara Palmer-Thomkinson ! It was an interesting day out but…

Okay guys what's the consensus on this as im sure many 300's have this problem. Speedo works fine 70% of the time, then it drops to 0 and fires up to 180 then a couple minutes later the PAS goes heavy because the ECU thinks its on a go-slow. So two questions: 1) In my head it would make more sense that the signal from the VSS to the ECU is whats causing the problem (broken VSS, housing or wires), not the clocks themselves, as the ECU is throwing out the PAS based on the signal it's RECIEVING, not the signal it's SENDING out to the gauges. Does this sound correct? 2) Failing correcting this issue as I don't need a working speedo except for MOT time, is there…

Just got some new door mirrors as my driver's side motor (fold in) is a bit tired now. Is it possible to swap the motors from the new ones (and how easy is it) to the old ones? Only asking as I don't want to get the new ones painted yet

My latest import has just arrived and looks stunning and totally stock. its down having the fog light sorted and MOT's, but there is a small problem. The drivers side door lock seems to be knackered, wont lock and my mechanic says he can see bits of springs etc loose inside. what are my options here? Is it possible to get a replacement from Nissan given the key number?

Bought a load of suspension bits of Chris and all arrived safe and sound. Just a thank you for all the help. Now to get the zed on here new wheels and sitting right :) Thanks again mate

Hey folks, so Im in the process of doing some works on the car i.e replacing subframes , brake lines etc. Im still trying to figure out what year the engine is , is there an easy way to tell? I also noted that there is a pipe(blocked off) out of the sump pan , which indicate that the engine might have been a turbo , but was not installed due to a lack of space in the MX5? Can anybody give me some insight. Also I need to replace the clutch slave cylinder as its seized, what is the part nr for this please? Ive seen some of fleeBay but not sure if its the correct one. Thanks.

Hello everyone, Some of you might know my red 300zx :) I am using my 300zx as a daily car as its fun being different haha, for the last few weeks I have kind a started thinking maybe I should sell my zed as i will never stop modding it and get an original 99spec zed, obviously save up a bit a and look for a really clean 100% original car, either here in uk(obviously not many of them are here) or just get one imported. Yes i know its expensive but it is also a good investment. In that case if I would go for 99 spec I would keep it 100% stock (Suspension and etc) that would also be much more like road friendly as its not that low and stiff to use as a daily driver. …

Nice little write up here that some may of seen, but worth a read through if not Jeff http://forums.nicoclub.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-z32-t508377.html

Woohoo, so picked up my first Z32 in 10 years this weekend, done about 150 miles and already the heaters gone cold with bubbling matrix when the ignition goes off. Went to burp the coolant today and the radiator just sucks dry by a 3rd every 3 minutes. So I take a peak underneath - drips pissing out from all over the shop underneath the engine. Now there's no white steam coming out the exhaust, and rad cap is clean so I'm hoping it's nothing more than a few buggered hoses. I've read about the coolant bypass mod so I plan on doing that this weekend - anywhere I can buy a full compliment of silicone or new rubber coolant hoses to nip this in the bud?

As above, I shall be deleting my PCV valves and blocking them off, then running both passenger side rear rocker cover breathers into a catch can, At the front I shall be blocking the intake breathers off also, Anyhow I digress , what is the thread size of the standard PCV ,so I can order the correct bungs. Can anyone help ?? Ta Sayers

Hello the Forum, time to get excited and plan big things. I've been building my car in my head for years, sometimes I do it in real life too, but now it's time to plan the next step. I have bought a house! With a bloody enormous garage 5.23m x 5.26m. I am going to compliment my house with 1x fridge, 1x sofa, 1x bed, 1x broadband router and an engine hoist :biggrin: I think it was Joely P who referenced an American tuning study that showed how good a zed can be with stock turbos and better pipework. That is basically where my car is now. I want the fittest 500bhp in the country. From 3000rpm to the red line. My car is a bit like that now but with …

Picked this up of facebay £5 still in the box,was only down the road 1/24 scale still a nice model tho

As above, I press the pedal and the pedal gets sucked a couple inches toward the floor. Doesn't hit the floor completely. I'm thinking faulty brake booster but never had an issue before so wanted some input

Im thinking of selling the zed..... but to build another one. Basically I want to build a fairly lary zed and looking at the TwinZ wide arch kit etc. My current zed is sooooooo nicely done i don't think i can actually do what i want to this one as its such a nice example as is. I bought it to use as a good base however I think its actually too good to cut up for a wide arch conversion. My predicament: Take this zed and build it how i want it or sell and go down the SWB route that i was originally looking for, for a big build. I welcome your thoughts on this as im torn.

Hi All, I swapped my 92 JDM spec indicator lenses for some that have a sidelight& indicator present a while ago (at the time I thought they were UK spec but I know better know!) So basically took the feed from the sidelight in the foglamps and rerouted to the new sidelights next to the indicators 'cos I think lights on the corner of a car look better than in where the fog lamps are. Anyway long story short I now need to replace my RHS one as it got smashed in a little incident my friend had whilst driving on track. I am struggling to find a replacement. Which Z did these come on as standard? Are they Series3+? Help much appreciated!!

My Z32 is currently being fettled by my 'Z experienced mechanic' a former owner of these cars. My Zed has been laid-up since 2010 - only done approx 60k miles. He has Mot'd the car - and fitted a new injector ( see my other thread). When I suggested a cambelt change he said no need as it has a non-interference engine. After some googling etc I feel uneasy at this suggestion. Comments please!
