Strange really isn't it, most of us get in our zeds and just drive em inc me. Today i started removing the engine in the silver one, and just never relised the amount of pipes large and small and loads of wire connections around the engine..........just to make the engine start and move and run, really makes you think whats going on under the bonnet when just driving around:bow:

HI Fnally got Z sorted the one that had seatbelt warning light on that had took out indicators power steering etc in my last post. well after posing the question on here it transpired to be a fuse problem had it tested and there was no power getting to most of fuses as the fuse box [ holder] had corroded away at rear. Any way after a phone call to ZEDWORLD [approx 2.30 pm] and speaking to jeff i hade one delivered the next morning got fitted tested again and all is fine now [touchwood] . So i would like to say a BIG THANKYOU TO ZEDWORLD in particular Jeff and LINDA for the excellent service and friendly attitude. Also thanks to all who replied with …

...remove compressor for good? just struggled removing it and dropping it down with pipes attached, but i do not use air conn so can a leave off engine and cut off pipes?? I do not think there is any gas in the system so no probs there:sweatdrop: Dave

Just curious if anyone has any special way to loosen them up! really need to get the new back box on and could not get them off today.

Months has passed since someone last heard from him and his upgrading...... Is his new beast ready soon, anyone out there with big ears ? :gun_bandana::gun_bandana:

After tracing a strong smell of fuel earlier it turns out the tank on my UK TT is rotten under one of the straps and its just dripping out! Is there a particular order I need to stick to when changing it, i.e. for fuel pressure etc? Can I undo the fuel pump from the boot then drop the tank, and fit the new tank up to the old pump? please help! :confused1:

well chuffed didnt think i would get in the 12's and i still lost a bit of traction. i took loads of vid as well so il get it loaded up soon for ya, in car and outside.

Tried for ages to find the year of manufacture of my Z (Jap import) finally got the info from AndyP (and confirmed by Nissan when I asked at the parts department) anyway just browsing the Oz site and came across this, checked it against Andy's info and it looks correct.... http://www.pexcom.com.au/z32cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.79 can a mod check it and maybe add the link in the General FAQ's somewhere.. cheers.

Many thanks to Darren and Carl at D2 in Strood for sorting my car out . Good work at reasonable cost : what more could we ask ? Oh yes , they`re good lads an` all . :yes: Cheers , chaps ! ps : Yasser , your car is mighty fine . Lovely car . :drool:

right im getting really confused... my z has a decent exhaust set up, decent induction kit, its super chipped, and still only seems to run 313 bhp .... its a TT LWB auto, and its had the box rebuilt, engine has recently had all its gaskets replaced, even before that its only done 57,000 miles... everyone said 400 bhp was easy to get, so what am i missing? i have 440ft/lb torque, where should i go from here?

put my cd player in the car but to get it to work had to swap the illumination pin and power pin, now the stereo turns on, but then if you turn the headlights on, the stereo turns off? and then turns back on again when you turn the HL off. now as much as i like the idea of a dash mounted remote, im not to keen on the idea of singing when it gets dark.

saw you twice today silver G reg i flashed both times. i was in a black mondeo both times you was travelling between Horam and Hailsham

where's the best place to get a replacement from and how much do they weigh?

Hello All New to this and have just purchased a 300 ZX and want to be involved. It came with a Z Club Mag and Im starting to pick up on the vibes. It has just sailed through its MOT except for the need of a new or Re Con Power Steering Pump. Had a great chat to Jeff tonight at Zed World and he only has Turbos (I have a none turbo). Previously I had been on z club . net and jeff sent me this way. Apparently Jeff thinks Slick Pete may be able to help me and you guys must know him. My garage are ready for action if I can find the part. Help please Ian Price

Today at about 4:30pm travelling out of Preston a wide arch white zed with a large rear spoiler. Reg plate A19 (i think)

Had my car on a ramp just know to check on the oil leaks before i take the engine out, and asked my mate to look at why my clutch bites very low, so low it hardly clears whilst changing gear! He thinks the slave cylinder looks shorter than usual, i know it has recently been changed but my question is............ is ther different types????

lifting out??? Has any body done it this way and i so is it advisable?? Starting tomorrow morning so early replies please

So can anyone throw some light on this setup? :alien: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=1368668

Help Please!! !- just started the beast after the winter lay up - Started Ok BUT Rad fan is running all the time ( from ignition on ) and engine is only running on one bank. One exhaust sweet as a nut, the other just smells like a swamp rat. Have checked thermostat control which seems ok so could this possibly be due to damp having got into the ECU ?

if i am really careful. do you think i could polish the intercooler pipes and the side of the intercooler? not the fins but the outside walls of the mount. cheers

after doing hard work i treated myself to a well earned KFC! YUM YUM on the way at the junction next to the radio station on new london road i saw a red zed turning right :)

Surprised this hasn't had any bids on it. Got a few nice little extras too. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-1990-NISSAN-300-ZX-TURBO-RED-UK-MANUAL_W0QQitemZ120551733390QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item1c1171788e

saw a red zed at dogmersfield near fleet yesterday at 12.00, you drove past the Queens head.I was sat in the car park stuffing a nice pasty down my neck.

Hi, Ive finally found a bung to fit the hole in the neck of my turbo what was originally drilled out to take an EGT sensor. The thing is its made out of Brass! Will this be ok and withstand the heat of the exhaust gases etc? Cheers Dan
