Just thought you guys might be interested to know that Z34 wiper blades fit the Z32. I always looked at the Lexus IS250 blades which were pretty neat. These seem to fit reasonably well too. INFINATELY nicer than the universal fit Bosch ones with the huge knuckle on top.

Hi everyone, I very new to the scene I currently own a black Escort RS Turbo S2 in show room condition which I have owned for almost 8 years now and I'm looking to buy my first nissan 300zx twin turbo but the only thing is I don't know alot about them my question is, is it truth the uk models only came in as a single turbo version and the imports are twin turbo's and the fairlady's are only the jap versions with better specs than the uk models? If any one can print me out or a link to all the different specs and common problems with the early models and what improvements they made with the later models uk & imports as I would like to know as much as possible abo…

Anyone ever bought a wide stereo??? For example 8.5 inch screen

I just had an HID kit fitted by Zedworld yesterday, and i noticed this evening that only one side is working... When i remove and replace the wires in the connection points on the one not working, it comes on for a brief second then off again. Same with when i switch the lights off and on, it comes on for a brief instant and then goes out again. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

My cars been off road for for over a year now whilst doing tubs engine out now engine back in all apart from a couple of vacume pipes but thats not for know what im having trouble finding is an air filter to fit me 300 tt. As you know there's not a lot of room under the slam panel and now i have a huge fmic out front to. The intake size is 4 inch. Any ideas?

Just wondering how this plumbs in really. What I don't understand is that the AVC-R comes with its own single solenoid. But the zed has two turbos and two solenoids. So does that me I need to order and additional solenoid? The manual on Apexi's site makes no mention of linking up two solenoids to the AVC-R? Lastly, where can I get one for a decent price? thanks, Jay

Grey 2+2 on Manor way heading towards Cardiff about 9:15 this morning. Private plate D* 300

Just wanted peoples thoughts on this, i will shortly be fitting a set of these courtesy of car mad :thumbup: .... this is to kind of finish off what i want the front to look like, but am slightly stuck over the colour choice. I was all set on body colour (kh2) grey, but i've seen pics where they look really nice in black or a matt lighter style finish to match the bumper as close as poss? would have others done? (help) :lol: Chris

Lads, Finally got the fuel pump back into the car. Charged up the battery because it was dead. Put 20 quids worth of petrol in & still it won't start. Keeps turning over & over but not firing. Have read various posts on the forum but I can't hear the pump priming at all. What else do I need to check. Car has been laid up for awhile if that's any help Thanks :)

Here are some pics of a couple of Z31's that I've had for a few years now. 'The Machine' is an '86 N/A Z31 which may be restored in the future (and fitted with the full leather interior from the black 'Z' below) or sold on as a summer project for someone else to enjoy I put a new battery on it last week and it fired up first time The silver Z31 is going to be converted as a 'tramp drifter' for this season, in order to run it in whilst my Z32 build is ongoing The plan is to remove the rear hatch and rear windows, fit a 4 point weld in roll cage (that I've just sourced for £50!) and convert it into a flat back OZ inspired UT/31. The tir…

Just wondering. (All pro's & con's of SIDE MOUNTED INTERCOOLERS vs FMIC aside) Assuming that you had the correct custom made piping, surely a FMIC for a mk IV Supra or GTR (still running a twin turbo setup) would fit a Z32 TT??? I know that you can import Greddy and HKS FMIC's specifically for the Z32 from places like Z1/CZP etc. but second hand FMIC's are a lot harder to find in the UK. Whereas other makes and models are better catered for. Just wondering if anybody could advise on this :thumbup1:

What on earth is this, and where does it go? How does it attach to anything because there's no screw holes for it :confused: Where does this screw to? It's loose and is the thing that kept banging every time I slammed the door :smash:

Haven't had the Zed long and want to get an oil change done. As a new Z owner i've used the search tool and as expected i've loads of different makes of oils to use which is great. The problem I do have, is that I always order from Opie oils and when I've done the search on their site for the oil/oil filter service packs https://www.opieoils.co.uk/product-finder/car/oil-filter-service-packs/nissan/1992/300/PETROL/300/21298/product-finder-2.aspx he recommends 5w-30 but on a recent post by the oil man (opie oils) on a thread that yewcheck started 'Best oil to use' he says we should be using and I quote 'Best oil to use would be a synthetic, we recommend either 5w-40 or…

Well.......... Used a local garage today called "autobahn" few guys i know with 180sx locally use him say hes very good with nissans! He currently has sitting his 280zx his wife has a tuned 180sx and he not so long ago had a z31. I got talking to the chap the other day when trying to source a hose for my water bypass! His garage doesnt look the best when you walk in as there is several project ongoing for customer in it. ANyways.....Went in for a health check today and all he could find was loose heat shields and no grease on suspension rose joints. So removed the heat shields and got the grease on, also went for an oil and filter change, some 5w 40 p…

Trying to sort my gearbox out and was looking on ebay and found this, Is it true what he is saying you cant just swap the ecu over with another one? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300ZX-Auto-ECU-31036-40P00-/190390274654?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c54250a5e Thanks

Is there a guide on here covering this subject? Something that describes the costs, process, timescales, what to watch out for etc?

My Z has got a misfire at around 2000-3000rpm, it runs really rough and sometimes I have to put my foot right down to get it to pull through. after about 3000-3500rpm it springs back into life and runs really smooth again... I have noticed it is using more fuel than usual, there is a hell of a lot of black up the back of the car & when the revs are held to make it misfire the nearside exhaust seems to shake and splutter as though thats the side its coming from. Also, it only normaly does it when it is warm. Cheers guys, Dan

Can one of you experts tell what to set my EBC too too achieve 1bar on Hi, if you can help can you fill in the blanks below? :chef: Set = Gain = Start Boost = Warning = Limiter=

I've recently noticed an intermittent problem. Sometimes, following full boost, the car seems to be hesitant, a little juddery, almost as if it's running on 5 cylinder. This sometimes disappears with further driving or on restart. Would a boost leak or a faulty knock sensor cause these symptoms? An ECU test showed no faults. I've checked all accessible connectors and they seem fine as is the series 2 PTU. The engine harness was replaced a few years ago. If this was a constant problem, I guess I would look at the plugs, coilpacks, injectors etc. But this is an intermittent problem but annoying just the same. Any ideas? Cheerz
