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.

Anyone got a good auto & t/c? 91JDMT Art213

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…

Just seeing what there going for may let mine go and stay stock front rear bumper and side skirts

Trying to get Z32 back on road after long lay-up but can't find an injector - any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Sorry if Ive missed info on this. But are we, any of us going & what date?

I blocked up the pipes that go down the A pillars, inside the cowl. I know what they are for, just wondering if it is a acceptable answer to my problem. Thanks

....As title - thank you Jimmer; you're a star mate....:thumbup: As some might know, I have had my Zed in at the body repair/welder guy next door to Jimmer for the last two months. Long story short, the guy let me down badly; but luckily he didn't start the job, nor has it cost me any money. So last Monday, Jimmer took possession of my Zed; gave it a once-over as it had been standing for two months; fixed the miss-fire that had developed since Coventry and made sure it was clean and ready for collection. Jimmer then very kindly collected me from Bristol Parkway station yesterday morning. It was great to get the Zed back; and thanks to Jimmer's magic touch,…

Hi guys, forgive me if I’ve done this wrong as I’m rusty with the forum. I wanted to ask if anyone knows which fuse is for the belt pre-tensioners. As the title says the seatbelt light is on. What I have found is the passenger side clicks by the belt roller in the back of the car by the rear seat (lower interior body panel) but the drivers belt doesn’t. So I’m trying to eliminate a fuse for that before I have to tear the back of the car apart and try to test power to it, I took the belt insertion part attached to the seat apart and the switch is clicking so no fries or sticky werthers sweets in there, every fuse panel I’ve tried to find except a U.S. one doesn’t sho…

Seen a 300zx LWB in Blue just round the corner from me parked up in Manor Road, Lee, SE London. The car is on a "K" plate, looks OEM +. Was it you ?

little steps.... Is it possible to see if the rubber tube that sticks through the inner wing (sort of) on the drivers side, is still sticking through it.. the picture explains it better than i can...

I’ve used the search function to see if there is already a thread but couldn’t find one. I’ve dropped the subframe of the 1991 TT and are currently replacing most of the stock items with upgraded parts, I would however like to renew the cv shafts as well so everything is new (the diff is also being remanufactured). New oem shafts are almost not available anymore but carid are selling Sur track cv shafts which are pretty cheap does anyone know what the quality is in fitment and strength. Thanks Peter

So Mitch at EP Racing has just posted a very interesting video on FB where he has cut up a VG block into segments in order to show the VG blocks strengths and weaknesses. Very interesting stuff

Reminder we have the ace Cafe London booked from 11am to 4pm on Saturday 28th October. This is an open invitation to anyone who wishes to join in.

After a bad year with car getting it back from "the garage " it's not moved from garage as so much wrong with it so have been thinking of getting rid of my car because don't know where to start the list goes on I have taken it out twice in local town and have some fluid leaks ,front bumper cracked front wings bent as front is so low it has creased wings,replace gauges and various scratches and to add to it I work in London all week ,so all stacked up against me ,how a holiday changes things so hopefully I'll get her back to how she was over the next few months and be able to do more than 260 miles I did last year .

Hello The gearbox in my LWB 1990 manual tt has a constant whine and at high revs can make a slightly more troubling noise. so ive been told bearings on the lathe shaft however taking it apart could reveal more. i was wondering if its cost effective to have it refurbished, keeping in mind the extent of the damage is yet unknown and how easy is it to source parts at reasonable prices as its an old gearbox? alternatively try to purchase a second hand gearbox, if anyone has one laying around i'd be very interested in buying it. thanks, Matt

Some may have noticed at shows I tend to install a show plate as I think it looks nicer without a registration and also more universal. I have also been known to take the Z out for a random drive to find a nice location for photos (yes I am a loser) and I normally carry a show plate in my boot. I’ve had a few different variants of the plate over the years: Recently I have recently been working on a new one. I’ve replicated the plate from the marketing photos used for the 99 spec cars (with a few choice scale changes). I haven’t made the final pieces yet but the prototypes are looking pretty good. The jury is s…

Can someone let me know if I were to replace non powered seats with a pair of powered ones, are the connections already there and just need hooking up or if not what are the options? Thanks all in advance
