Hi all, just wondering if recaro sub frames are available for the 300zx. I have a lovely set of speeds in my current car (which I managed to purchase original sub frames for after allot of hard work) . I’m looking at a short wheel base with cloth interior and think the Recaros would be a great upgrade. :cool3:

Guys I am removing my wing mirrors later today, is there a join in the electrical supply in the door panel that I can disconnect, or does it go furhter back under the dash? cheerz H.

Hi guys, I am thinking of changing the centre section (spokes) from silver to black, leaving the bolts silver and the outer dish as it is... Wheels are due a refurb just not sure which way to go. This pic, wheel wise etc is what I was hoping to achieve. T bar sections are being painted black, along with wing mirrors.... What do you think leave it alone or go for it? H.

How much do they go for these days?. i.e. the 3 point ones to replace the lap belts. I'm trying to pick some up for a mate but seen some on ebay with a big difference in price.

Went to work this morning and the zed went into high revs(1200)on idle even died out a few times did a search on here and the yellow temperture sensor kept croping up so pulled the connecter and the metal connections were green so cleaned them started the zed and yes its running like a mouse chewing paper:clap: revs back down to 750 and pulling strong. I love these cars who said they are hard to work at. So remember high revs clean contacts on yellow temperture sensor

Just wondered how many, if any, Zeds live in your town? I live in Basingstoke, and I can honestly say that in my 4.5 years in this town, I have seen ONE other Z32 apart from mine. You could take the p*ss and say "well, that's Basingstoke!", but I have seen at least 5 different GT-Rs, a few Ferraris, Astons and Maseratis, not to mention numerous 350Zs, 200SXs, R33s etc. Just strange that never any Z32s...

Weird one this I think chaps. My car is idling at about 2k revs from cold, is this normal? Main reason for this is, I'm out in my car now and when I'm putting the air con to have any kind of heat in it, its just stinking the car out. Any thoughts guys?

Hi Guys, in the picture below, it shows the Starter motor with the hole's misaligned due to the fixing coming loose. The epc shows a bolt, M10x30, What i need to know is, 1,.does a bolt go there or have i lost a stud and nut, and 2 is the other fixing (not shown ) which is above a stud + nut or bolt. It might mean getting down and dirty, but i'd appreciate it. Thanks

Hi if drilled and grooved break disks were not fitted to the car as standard is it legal to fit them for use on the road in the UK? I am sure people do but I want to be legal, the last thing I need is the cops on my case.

Hi there all, I know its not a Z32 but it's the older brother of ours. Having not seen another 300ZX out here apart from Jonce I nearly fell of my bike when this shot past me. It belongs to one of the German civvie guys that work in my hanger, he don't drive it much as he cant easily get parts or people to work on it (sound familiar). Enjoy, Rob

A very lucky fellow zedder today, on route to catch a ferry to Calais and a long drive ahead to Luxemburg and onto Serbia found the following horrific fracture in his near side rear wheel when checking tyre pressures during the first leg of his journey. The damage is completely through the spoke and meant the centre and outer rim have become a seperate item at that point, a shame I could not catch it with the camera but when the wheel was held up you could see light right through the fracture! A quick detour and we sorted him with a replacement wheel for his journey, and when talking with him he remembered a water filled pothole a day or so a…
