hi there was a very nice nissan in the landsend car park on 16th june either 300z or maybe skyline not sure pure white with england red flag on it emaculate condition any ideas who guys

The car is taking a second to pick up when the throttle is blipped. Tickover is sometimges high. Electric RAD fan is stuck on.... thee issues that happened after a plastic bag got sucked into the engine bay Can anybody give me an idea about adjusting tickover? I am also thinking about changing fuel filter as I run the car very low recently and I am wondering whether there is semi block.

Hi All, Thought I would throw this one out there. I am currently running my zed on 20- inch wheelmania vortex R's with pirelli p zeros with good rubber all round. Would having such big wheels affect my zed's performance 0-60. If so how much time am i adding to my 0-60 performance. My car is running 400rwhp. and 420lb of torque. Cheers. Kash

Whilst in the states i saw a few Zeds with rear Lids that looked like MR2 s are they after market if so they were very well designed Whats peoples opinions on them? i guess there only for 2 seaters as there would be no room in the back for peoples heads :wheelchair:

Well shes finally in the shop looking very sorry for herself, So far weve stripped the rear end, lights, ariel,rear wiper going for the smooth look. also started working on the little dents and dings, removed all the windcreen trims and got me plasticote to refurb them. next is to cut out the drivers side sill at the rear as its full of rust and see what its like. heres whats being fitted AB Flug style front bumper 99spec silver/chrome headlights single slot centre panel viper front wings bomex side skirts demon rear bumper smoothed lip spoiler by the time the respray is complete the new engine and manual box should be ready to go in.

Stock engine and tubs Any ideas on the hp gain i would get?? :wacko:

Hi all, I'm dropping my Z off at Jeff's this Saturday (19th) - anyone else going to be there?? Richard:cool3:

has anyone got any for sale, aftermarket about 18" would be good, something to set a red z off nicely. let me know how much and some pics and will let you know

OK, it may look a bit marmite I'll admit it - but I just took off my double exit RS*R exhaust and fitted up my Kakimoto 3" decats and 3" single exit exhaust system - it's not quite as loud as I'd have hoped for but dear god it sounds AMAZING!!! Very much like the infamous 2JZ note, really round tone - (best way to describe). I'll get a recording as soon as I can!

i need some new 1s for my mot and was gonna by the hel braided 1s but on japne forums some people are having the hel's rot after a year and 1 had split as the guy was doing the mot after 11 months so anybody using anything else :excl:

Hi everyone, i dont have a clue what this switch does. the guy i bought the car off didnt know either but he thinks when he left it on, the battery went dead (not sure if i believe this or not). any ideas? or am i just being stupid... its the red switch in the bottom right of every photo...

I dont know how many more bulshit excuses these firms think of to raise the premium. Here goes: my insurance is due for renewal in a few weeks, last year i paid £309.50 FC inc policy fee, accident plus etc. I just had my renewal quote of £426.50. Same company, same details, nothings changed. I phoned my broker, who cant really understand why its gone up but said that most insurance has gone up by about 20% this year, so why has mine gone up by about 40%, couldnt really explain. I phone the insurance company direct and they state that from January this year the import policy rules and rates have changed, although not necessarily because the car is an import, but d…

Guys Got the first two of my new secondhand wheels from japan http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250636478761&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT I expect the other two will be here tmoz?? Anyhows they dont look that wide but I know nothing about wheel sizes or offsets etc. Anyhows any way I can check the offsets before I go and put them up for sale if they definately will not fit? I have not got the car back yet, do you think its worth putting them on without tyres before I go and get rid of them because they are too wide for my standard arches?. Nice wheels, if they dont fit my zed im sure they will look absolutely stunning on someon…

The problem is the climate pod. Let's say I turn on AUTO and ECO. Turn of the car. When I start the car again it just goes to AUTO and I have to manually turn on ECO again. Is it supposed to be like that? Is there anything I can do about it? It's a bit annoying:cursing:

Hi Guys, just before i place my order for some brake light bulbs for the rear perspex strip has anyone fitted decent led`s? I have been reading past posts and they seem too dim? is this still the case or should i just buy the original ones from the Z-centre? CheerZ in advance Daz

sat in traffic at lights, going out of central Portsmouth, approx 5.15 pm today, heading past dockyard walls - I was cycling along the pavement and beat you to the lights:tongue: Looked tidy and not one of the usual ones around this way.

I have opened oil filler cap when running and oil is reaching the cam it does rattle a it though before oil reaches parts please may i have any helpful advice think i may have bitten off more than i can chew with this car kind regards rob

Hiya got a small problem i hope someone can help me with. Whilst connecting a switch for my rear fogs i seem to have blown a fuse for all the lights. However i have tried in the fusebox under the bonnet and all are good as are all the fuses next to the accelerator pedal.....???? Any thoughts!!!

I just got back from the MOT it failed on a few bits:thumbdown: , i want to check what they mean before i order them (near and offside rear wheel steering connection has excessive play) i guess they mean the rear outer track rod ball joints? Allso (offside front upper suspension arm synthetic bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement) front camber arms? thanks nick

Do the manifold bolts need to be high tensile, or will any type be ok? Cheers Graham

Hi folks, I've got myself a small issue with my shifter in that I cannot go from 5th down into 4th, at least not before going into 3rd first. There seems to be some sort of stop or gate in the way preventing the downshift. Now I was wondering if anybody's heard of this sort of problem and what the fix is. When trying to shift down there is no crunching of gears so i'm guesing is was the new shifter that the previous owner had on it. If I was to put an original shifter back on to test what bits do i need ? Cheers Lee

:helpsmilie: Hi all Bit of a long shot but seen a nice 300zx, well looks nice lol.:cool2: Few more tweeks on than mine. Anyway been talking to the owner seems a nice chap, but no paperwork to back up what he says. Before i motor some 300miles to go and do a deal, was wondering if some kind experienced z owner would vet it over for me??:thumbup1: Would happly reimburse anyone?:duffer: Sorry if i`m not meant to post but thought it cant hurt to ask Thanks in advance Colin
