Notice today that lining that goes around catch on the inside is bubbled up can that bit be taken apart and re glued.

Having just removed my poorly engine, (and what a job that was) and having a good poke around i`ve found the small cooling pipes that run to the throttle bodies and then through the turbo`s have been blanked off obviously stopping cooling round these parts! Is this some kind of advance tuning method? lol Thumbs up on this? Cheers Dave

Has anyone got a lower tail skin on their LWB zed? I was after seeing what it looks like im thinking of either that or the perspex strip Marty

Has anybody seen any really unusual (unchessey)body mods to a zed?. I not really talking about any aftermarket parts. More hand crafted sheet metal and imagination than stick on vents and spoilers. Shouldnt be to long now before the next z32 all my jobs around the home are almost done,just need to change the family car then there should be another z32 on the drive! I do need some inspiration though as im tired of looking at the z centre pages for body kits and the same old aftermarket stuff.Apart from the original strosek kit there is nothing that really appeals to me. having real trouble finding parts for my z31 so i guess this may take longer than expec…

Can you fit a forward facing baby seat into the rear of the 300zx? I know you have to have them properly fixed. If so, can you easily remove them if you need to? I have tried my backward facing seat from my other car and there isn't enough space.

hi as per title, where do you guys get replacement core plugs? im going to remove some of the flashing from my spare block and i need to remove the core plugs, whats the best technique to do it please? cheers gaz

Hi, Sorry if the answer is already on the forum but a quick look didn't give me an obvious answer. My current bulbs are pink but not got round to change them! Took the bulb out this morning and it's made by RAYBRIG (Japanese) and also stated 12V 5W. A quick search on the net suggests that it may be a 194/168 bulb. Is this correct? Can I buy it in the high street? Searched the Halfords web-site but couldn't find it. Any advice or guidance most welcome.

I have a standard z32 and would like an ecu upgrade for incresed performance. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Hi Guys, thought i'd get this down now 'cos i'm up at 6 and off to Windsor all day on sunday, so it'd be nice for some advice when i get back. Went out tonight to a do, all fine. after about 5 miles on the return journey my oil temp gauge in the pillar shot up to 125 Deg, usual is between 85 and 95, i was not driving aggressively. i pulled over to the hard shoulder and turned the engine off but still on Acc which kept the gauges on. looked under the bonnet and could see or smell anything out of the ordinary. Back inside and cycled the gauges (digital, they do a self check ) Temp no read 78 Deg, thats more like it. Carried on the journey another 10 miles, got home but then…

I have standard front brakes, is there a way of upgrading that wont brake ;) the bank?? I had Brembos on my last TT but they were already on it, fro m a Skyline I was told...they were really good. I have after market Fuel 5 Alloys as well, I am wondering if the offset will be a problem. The discs are grooved ,not sure about the pads, If you stamp on the brakes, takes a while to stop. Not that good.... karl

Been trying to sort out my rear fogs for the mot, now the side lights do not work and main beam seems to be stuck on. Looked at fuses none seem to be blown, any help??

Been trawling youtube Japan again. Thought you guys might want to see something a little different from the usual Z stuff on youtube. Japan's roads are cool! Black one is a little 'eeeoooow'. This is lovely...little too much colour co-ordination, stickers and coloured b-pillar, but the rest looks great! Crazy dash!

Well I have sold my zed n/a auto, to my brother, so Iam now Zedless but Iam hoping by christmas time I will have the Z I want a TT manual, I listened to your advice in the end and in stead of doing the conversion to a TT manual, it would be cheaper and less hassle just to buy the car. Thanks Mark

can anyone recommend a good car cover for the zed. I simply cant afford to put the car on the road it only needs tax but im refusing to tax it when i wont have the money to put petrol in it. So looking for a car cover to tuck it away up the back of the drive while i decide wether or not to sell it, any suggestions or links to them are greatly appreciated.
