...there's no interior, e.g. no trim cards. The front two seats are in with seat belts, but the rear seats are out.

Seems to be a bit of a hot spot for Z32s!! :rockon: Dark blue metallic with black/charcoal multispoke non dish wheels. Again, I was behind an artic so you might not have seen me, but I did wave/gesticulate. I tried to catch you at the Aztec roundabout but some tit in a big Merc' Sprinter van didn't see me, (seems driving such a low car is a bit of an occupational hazard!!), and cut me up. You headed off up the A38.

Just bought a set of Crystal LED lights for the Z from America last week (10/06/2010) and they arrived today (14/06/2010) :shock: :clap: They are REALLY smart. not exactally '99 spec lights but the clarity in the lenses is outstanding. I'd highly recommend these if anyone is looking for some clear indicator lenses :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120579088339&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Peter

Hi All, When i put my new lights in i'm looking to replace all my existing bulbs with LED bulbs. Looking to get these stop/tail lights off eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360162230672&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Anyone know if you can get them in Amber LEDs for the indicator bulbs? Cheers Peter

...................on the 2nd attempt :hyper::dance:took the z in for mot today considering i bought it with no mot it failed on a wiper blade and drivers side hand brake not working so quick dash home strip it down to find the handbrake had been previously stripped and put together wrong (the metal actuator bar was in wrong way round) rang the test centre who then had it straight back for retest, onlt prob i have is the rumble under the arse at 40mph think centre prop bearing is next job

Hi, I have tried the search but not had much luck. Anyway, I am in need of new turbos or a kit to rebuild mine. Does anyone know where I can get a kit or the best place to get new turbos, which ones and how much I can expect to pay? If I uprate the turbos is there much else I need to worry about apart from injectors - I already have FMIC, exhaust, induction. I am going to attempt to do this myself. My friend is a really good mechanic but has limited time so will turn to him to get myself unstuck if needed. I have read on the forum that it can be done without lifting the engine but not found any guides on this. If I do lift the engine …

Hello! I have this "small" problem... that is very bad now in summer. When driving i get a lot of hot air comming from behind stereo. I mean it makes the car very hot inside. Anyone has had this problem and can help me sort this out? Thanks!

it failed and its not as bad as i thought it was gonna be they never even mentioned the white smoke unless it behaved itself and didnt do it 1. offside rear brake light was off ( i checked em all the night before wot a crock) 2. offside rear steering rack gaiter split 3. nearside front brake pipe corroded 4. number plate is not the correct height ( cant beleive that 1 )

Just trying to get a handle on the name. Are all z32's called the Fairlady? Mine is a UK 1994 TT manual. Is that a 'Fairlady' too please.

Hello, all - it's been a long time but I've been offered another Z so it looks like I'll be getting my hands dirty again. Just a quick one - which turbo can you do with the engine in place and which can't? I'm thinking it's the left (passenger side) one that's a pain but I can't remember. Also is there anyone doing good deals on slightly larger turbo's these days? Typically I sold pretty much all my Z bits off at the end of last year as I couldn't see me using them. I kept seeping Z's that were either too pricey or complete wrecks so kind of gave up then this one pops up out of nowhere. :thumbup1:

Nice to have a chat its been a while matey how you doing .jaylox

Spotted a couple of nice Z's in Newport today (didn't have my camera on me though) There was a tidy red 'Z' reg 'M300...' parked up outside No Frills around 1'ish and then I spotted another black/dark grey parked up at the top of the hill just off Albert avenue/Church road in maindee it's been a while since I've seen another 'Z' in Newport, there used to be a red SWB parked just up the road from my parents house on Victoria avenue but haven't seen it for a year or so now, hope the guy hasn't sold it

Near Stony Stratford/Calverton, parked up on a grass verge. Anyone on here?

Parked a couple cars down from mine in the B & Q / tesco car park, paint work was gleaming.

Does anyone know where the aux fan wire is located so that i can connect my alarm sensor wire as required. Thanks.

stock looking , had club stickers, near white hart roundabout .

Hello guys! I was looking for some options to monitor oil/water temp and pressure, and maybe more and came into this product. Seems very interesting both in function and price. I'm shure it can be fitted to a z32 and maybe tempted to try it. What you think? http://arkdesign-us.com/mfd-multi-function-dash

My tickover is at around 1500 rpm. Its usually around 1000 which I know is still a little high. Is it easy to adjust down?? k

Bye Bye!! apparently.........fell apart as soon as the kit was off.lol!

As you probably know, I've been looking for a car for some time, and haven't really seen anything worth buying, so I've been thinking about importing one. Can anyone recommend any dealers that import 300ZX's? I'm also curious about how much they are to buy from Japan. My dad had his FTO imported about 5 years ago, and he seemed to pay a lot more than what it was realistically worth.

Hey all cars in the bodyshop for respray and kit fit so while its there Ive been getting some work done on the new engine, BUT im not sure what turbos and manifolds to go for??? Id be quiet happy with 400-450bhp ive already got decat exhaust, Mines chipped ecu, HKS filter, Boost jets, and front mount intercooler. Any of the more experienced engine builders have any suggestions??? Thanks Craig

Hi All Does anyone know the recommended gap for the colder NGK PFR6B-11B plugs? Stock gap appears to be .044 but for higher boost (15-18psi), some recommend .035. Any thoughts on the correct gapping for say 14psi? Cheers

from the information I've read on this site the "safe" limit for a standard vg is 1bar boost and around 400bhp, is anybody running more than this? I'm asking because my next mod powerwise will be bigger injectors and a remap to suit, I'm already running hks gt2530's and larger intercoolers so running more boost shouldn't be a problem but could the engine take it? I'm probably opening a can of worms here but want to know if anybody is running above the norm

im trying to find that thread on a member on here who put a turbo on the rear bit of the exhaust of his n/a zed? i mensioned it to some mates and they just thought i was making it up!! :cursing: so please help me find this thread! i cant find it! :no:

Another problem :sad: Car was working fine yesterday morning when I drove to work. After work when I started her up I could already hear her running rough, sounded a bit like running on 5 cylinders, and when you accelerate she chugs like a tractor. So far I have: 1: Checked all the spark plugs ( they have only done about 8000 Km - NGK PFR6B- 11C) They all look perfect, no signs of anything unusual. 2: I´ve checked the coil packs and the resistance is spot on on all of them. 3: The coil pack connectors are all brand new and the wiring etc is ok. 4: The Injectors seem to all be clicking- from what I can tell with the screwdrive…
