Hi all. It's been a while, over 3 years infact. However I have finally secured myself another zed. Alot has happened in the last 3 years including a beautiful baby boy who turns 1 tomorrow. Collecting a tt auto targa top this Sunday. Looking forward to spending some time back on this awsome forum. I'll have to familiarise myself with the forum again aswell, I've forgot how to upload photos into a thread :confused1: and I'll be resubbing :winkiss:

I was looking at replacing my filters and have the standard boxes. With the view of doing some mild tuning in the future 350-400bhp, are the standard boxes with K&N filters fitted good for this or should I look at going down the cone route?

Only caught a glimpse as I drove past.... Just see it was silver... No reg etc

Hi guys, Was out for a blast today and had issue. Was giving it some beans 6-7rpm in first and had Loss of power and a back fire out the exhaust. The car stuttered and yo yo' d with power cutting in and out, The car eventually died was chucking loads of black smoke out both exhausts. The car fired straight back up but won't idle . The car bogs down until about 3k then revs cleanly. Weird thing is I left the car for a bit (45mins) when I started it idled perfectly. As soon as I reved it up , it went back yo running like dog shit again. So far I have cleaned all the plugs as they were fouled. Cat started straight up and idled for 2 mins perfectly, …

Went to meet a few petrolheads in manchester today Coopd brought baby Alex with him . Shes a zed girl for sure.

Just looking for a bit of advise, went to see a 95 TT yesterday but there in no boost gauge,is that normal or possible? Also the dials and controls look like my previous 92 & 93 cars I've had in the past, should that be correct? Maybe I'm just being a bit over cautious. Other than that the car looked pretty standard and maybe worth a punt. Cheers, Mike

Anyone know which are the correct ones to get? The liners are completely off the car at the minute. I'm guessing the majority of holes take the push type fixings. Many thanks, Lee

Well after 3 years with no trouble from my heater, last night it decided to spring rather a big leak. (Forcing me to bypass it by the side of the road to get home). The usual routes haven't show up any for sale so was hoping someone more inlightened could point me in the right direction Thanks Jay

If anyone local wants to meet up, I will be there with my son for a couple of days. Was supposed to riding my bike for 2 days on track, but the circuit have cancelled the weekend trackdays due to expected 60mph winds and extreme weather :-( So I will be coming over in the zed instead, as the B&B couldn't be cancelled.

Just got a quote for insurance on the car full com and break down £172.44 per year sweet

I just want to know how to do the wiring of ignition source iwant to start with the ignition on Sent from my G8142 using Tapatalk

Hi All, I fixed a squeak on my rear brakes and took the Zed for a spin to check my handy work. JOB DONE! So I popped to a local meet for a tea and a road test. On returning to my car there was a pool of rusty water under the car with a hefty drip coming from the rear of the plastics under the car. Long story short, I topped it up, drove it home, checked again and topped up the water, ran the engine for 10 minutes then went for a spin..... No drippage?! Went for a drive to road test and spotted 6 Classic Minis, 5 Mustangs, 4 GMC Day Vans, 3 Camero's, 2 GT3s a series1 RS Turbo van. So jollied along with them who jollied along to a convoy of old cars just w…

.....Re-created....!! Some of you might recognise this - but where from, I hear you ask. And I don't mean the geographic location.....:wink: Suffice to say, re-creating this photograph has been on my "to-do" list for sometime.....

I mentioned this weeks ago on facebook.I had a phone call from John Evans a well known and respected motoring journalist.After discussing just about everything 300zx with him,He will be publishing the article in next weeks edition.John was a fan of the car and lucky enough to test drive one back in the early 90s.The article will cover pros and cons of ownership.what makes a good model and why the 300zx is a worthy classic now :thumbup:

I am after some info on a 300 that's for sale. It's a black TT manual with the number plate H4BVE I've done a search and found some info on the car but it's info that 5 years old. Anyone know anything about it or if there's any issues with the car? Thanks in advance

So even though HMRC took their sweet effing time processing the parcel, I finally managed to get my hand on my latest purchase, the new WinFactory top feed fuel rail. This is a CNC billet fuel rail that has replaced the mk1 Winfactory rail that was made of steel tubing. Included in the kit is the rail itself, straps to hold it in position, a new throttle cable bracket, lower plenum adaptors and Injector Dynamics ID1050X 1065cc injectors and pig tails. Putting the rail together was incredibly easy After making up some new fuel lines to make my entire fuel system -8 bore braided fuel line and using Torques-uk fuel line AN fittings And m…

Seeing as the last couple of days have been predominantly doom and gloom around here, I thought I'd have a stab at cheering everyone up. Jimmer and I have been discussing a bit of a joint project recently. It's very much in the planning stages at the moment, but I think it could be pretty good if it comes off. There's been a lot of press coverage surrounding things like Sierra RS Cosworths and suchlike, and about how a totally pristine and original example is now fetching considerable money... ...soooo we're looking at building a completely standard 300ZX! Ideally a UK factory manual (seeing as people think they'll command the best prices in years to come) and m…

Guys, I need to buy a decent car cover to keep the elements off my car for the winter months. Not to happy about leaving the car out for this length of time, but needs must. Let me know what you use, thanks.

With my Zed's impending visit to the body-shop later this month, I am toying with a couple of small visual changes.... One being the wheels. Could someone please have a go at photo-shopping the centre spokes of my wheels to gloss black? I want to retain the polished rims though..... Thanks!

Hello everyone, Not having much luck with my 300zx tt at the moment electrical faults galore but managing to bottom these problems. Anyways the problem I have now is that my car idles up and down then sometimes decides to settle at 1500 rpm then at the next set of lights it goes to 600 rpm an some times cuts out and if you give it some it will not go past 5k it just starts to splutter and revs drop all of a sudden.i have taken my iacv off cleaned and fitted back with new gasket changed plugs checked all connectors I can think of ptu etc all ok. Going to ohm test my injectors tomoz as well as run a diagnostic test but anyone can think of anything else would be much appre…

I have a 1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo and need to replace the Sparks. I read that I only need to install NGK PFR6b-11b ones, but there are also 11c ones available and the Nissan garage says that it has to have the 11c types. Which one do I really need?

Looking to get my Z back on the road for spring and searching for some replacement front disks & pads. I have the old style, dark grey Ksport 330mm set Was wondering if anyone has compared the standard K-Sport pads to Ferodo DS2500s, as the price difference is huge? Also I assume I would need the 6mm>8mm bolt inserts? Will keep looking but unless anyone knows of anywhere different here are the cheapest I've found the discs so far : http://www.bigbrakes4u.co.uk/k-sport-brake-kits/ksport-replacement-2-piece-disc-rotors/k-sport-330mm-replacement-rotors/prod_496.html Pads (cheapest for both the K-Sport & Ferodo pads): http://www.dcperforma…
