Hi everyone, Another wheel question :oops: Ive decided to go for Rota Grids but i want the deep dish on the front aswell as on the back. To get the deep dish im going to need to fit 9.5 on the front is this possible? Ive seen that Jimmytt has a et20 9.5 and the same on the rear so it looks possible. Does anyone know if any mods had to be done to fit the fronts? Ive sent Jimmy a PM but i dont think he has been on the site to reply and i would like to order tomorrow. Ive added pis to show the curve spokes i would like instead of flat Thanks Dan

I've booked myself on a trackday at Silverstone on the 7th June with Goldtrack. It's the Arena circuit which is over three and a half miles long and I reckon perfect for the zed. I've done Silverstone half a dozen times on my ZX10R and it's bloody quick. My car has proved itself to be reliable on the road and now I want to see how it goes on a track and I reckon it's gonna be OK. I'm gonna do Santa Pod this year too then it will be goodbye to the red zed as buying a GTR (gonna keep my white vert though). I was hoping Jorgen would come over with a few of his friends also in zeds and also in the 600bhp class but haven't heard from him which is a shame. It would be c…

BUT despite the smell the leather is soooo soft and really well put together!! the stitching is faultless and the logo is great too, I took it all to the upholsters today but it was closed so had a go myself taking the old material off to save a little labour time!!:thumbup1: Over all i am well pleased, with quality ,price and delivery time, top marks!!

I have a 94 UK TT, I see the rear wheel arches are beginning to subdue to rust, and when I look underneath and inside the arches I can see more of the damn stuff. Do UK zeds suffer more that imports? and what is the cost of getting rid of this.

I came across this site and thought it may be of interest to people? Click on the section in yellow which says 1990-1996 300ZX (Z32) and find the part number you need. If you hold the cursor over the part number it tells you exactly what it is :) http://www.300zx.lv/parts/ I'll double check on Monday with the parts department (I'm a salesman at a Nissan dealership) that these are correct part numbers.

Hi, I have been looking for a zed since November, seen about 12 scary examples. Also had offer from a Z specialist in Wiltshire who wanted to build me one from several scrapped cars he had, but the price kept going up and up every day, then he changed his mind and wanted to keep the car! Z world were brilliant going through their records and usually advising ‘the engine rebuild’ or ‘turbo work’ or ‘regular servicing’ etc, etc, the seller had claimed wasn’t actually done by them. But at last I have brought one!:clap: It’s a 1990 TT auto. Drove it home 120 miles. It took a couple of hours for the smile to go from my face. What a blast! Mind you I forgot about the overdrive …

Anyone know if any Recaro seat covers fit the 300zx seats? - is it worth me buying some that are for example 'A supra' then trying to get them over my seats? - all the ones I find are apparently tailored for individual cars - But they did make Recaros for the 300zx and I can't find the seat covers that would fit them... I have found some Cow print ones though.. if anyone is interested lol any help appreciated - cheerz lads!

Hi Anyone changed their door speakers. Currently got knackered Pioneer TS-1670 (16cm across) Been offered some 16cm JBL628 - actually 6.5" - will these fit without butchering the metal on the door? Looking at it a 17cm speaker (6.5in) will not fit into the metal casing. Anyone retrofitted a good speaker in the door without cutting it up. Cheers

hello every1, just a question to see what people think, i have fitted a couple of sets of turbos to zeds with engines in, but everywhere i read they say the drivers side is almost impossible, but i remove the steering bar and master cylinder and i find it fiddly but not that bad, i find the passanger side is worse i have to undo 4 bolts on turbo housing which allows half the turbo to spin round so i can get to the manifold bolts and i drop the turbo and the manifold together, a lot of people say you shouldnt do it with the engine in the car, but in the manual im sure it says to remove them with the engine in the car, i may be wrong though,…

i've fitted tt injectors to my na zed and it wont run. its starts, idles and revs on an standard tt chip but not on the uprated chip, i've used 2 different chips and nothing, the ecu is fine and have checked the loom and cant find any falts. Run a diagnostics with the standard chip and it came up with 55 which as far as i know is no falt found but with the uprated chip the light comes on and stays on, doesnt flash at all. if anyone knows what the problem is or could be please let me know because im all out of ideas on this one! :helpsmilie:

Ive started working on my spare engine in the garage and started stripping the front end. I have one problem! the two water pipes, i got the top one off that contains the sensors no problem, but the bottom water pipe has 2 nuts and 1 hex bolt. I got the nuts off but it looks like the hexbolt has been stripped at some point, i dont mean the thread, its the hex head where you insert the tool. Now i cant get the other top timing belt cover off, cos the pipe is in the way. And space is tight for getting anything i have to normally remove stripped heads. Has anyone come across this before or have any ideas to get the hex bolt out. Cheers Graham
