Planning on replacing the entire brake line system soon while I have the subframe out. I've had a quick browse through past threads on this subject about what pipe and fittings to use. Is there anybody who has done this job in full or in part that can provide some pro-tips? Such as quantity and type of pipe and fittings used, and any potential pitfalls to avoid during the process. Also considering replacing the fuel lines while I'm at it, but that pipe looks slightly thicker than the brake pipes. FYI I have the electric HICAS, so no pipes to replace for that.

AndrewG and myself are taking our Zs down to Monaco. Landed in St Malo this morning, stopped at Mont St Michel briefly and now about 50 miles from LeMans heading south West. Rubbish photos, better ones to come!

So The questions are : what part is this ? Where did it come from ? What zed previously owned by me did it come from ?

My O2 sensors are duff and need replacing. Anyone know for sure if a Bosch replacement such as these on eBay are suitable or do I need to contact Nissan? Thanks http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372048269983

Hi Guys, I was always under the impression the radiator on a 300zx was a closed system , if pressure builds up the rad cap allows it to bleed off ? My car is fitted with a Koyo rad and this has a tube coming from an oulet near the rad car that is open to air , is this normal ? this would be a an open system allowing water vapor to escape? Thanks, Adam

Anyone on the forum own this car.

Hey, So, I'll be changing my heads and obviously the gaskets, I'm looking at this gasket kit from the US, seems like a good deal to me - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fit-Infiniti-Nissan-Non-Turbo-3-0L-VG30DE-Full-Gasket-Set-/360880628027?hash=item540629613b:g:6psAAOSw14xWJqp1 Can anything think of anything else I might need? I know there's half moon seals at the back of the cams, but can't see these in the set, do I re-use these or do I need new ones? Other than the water pump gasket (and maybe sump seals?) in this photo, I'm not sure what the other gaskets are, but guessing it will make sense when I pull the heads - Cheers

I am wondering if anyone can help me get my Z back on the road? i am having a manual gearbox fitted but i need a flywheel and clutch kit, cannot find them anywhere from breakers (all been sold as kits) and ebay new prices too expensive, looking for good quality second hand, can be either NA or Turbo as both can be modified to fit if neccessary but the set must match (flywheel and clutch kit must be the same both tt or na). Thanks in adance if you are to help, message me and i wil give you my mobile number. Can collect if fairly local (I am in west sussex).

Hey, Can anyone tell me if there's a place in the uk where I can get similar, at around the same price? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Nissan-300ZX-1990-1996-Z32-3-0L-V6-VG30DE-Non-Turbo-Stainless-Steel-Headers-/222173378487?epid=1175594876&hash=item33ba90b7b7:g:Sc4AAOSwHHFZAOM- Also, if I did import these, is there anything I need to consider - US / UK compatibility? Cheers!

Hi all, Where is the best place to get my timing belt kit from i have a 92 nissan 300zx twin turbo import automatic. And is there anything else I should be getting whilst bits are off the car?

Hi Guys, just letting you know that i will be competing on Saturday 2nd September in the Brighton National Speed Trials. The Brighton National Speed Trials, is commonly held to be the oldest running motor race. The first race was held 19–22 July 1905 after Sir Harry Preston persuaded Brighton town council to tarmac the surface of the road adjacent to the beach between the Palace Pier and Black Rock to hold motor racing events. This stretch was renamed Madeira Drive in 1909 and the event is still held there. http://brightonandhovemotorclub.co.uk/files/speedtrials/st2017entrylists.pdf Got some fresh rubber this year so hoping for a personal best! Chris

Can anybody recommend rear shocks for a 92 na please My current rears have a light misting of oil so after a replacement. May even consider used if anyone has any in good condition. Thank you

Hey, So after spending most of the day trying to get my crank pulley off, I have failed. Looking at posts, videos etc, others still have painted black pulleys, mine isn't...so I have a feeling rust might be the issue - That bolt isn't the original, I was just using it temporarily for the puller, as couldn't use the puller with the original bolt, even with the radiator out. The puller I was using was a massive hydraulic thing that I had to hire from a lawnmower place, as believe it or not, non of the local auto supply shops had anything bigger than a 100mm puller... So the end of the puller may have been too wide, not sure. On the way ho…

One of the few things on the Z32 that I actually think is utterly terrible and that's the shitty fibre boards used for the boot floor that are woefully flimsy and warp. I am probably going to remake a set out of slightly thicker MDF and then get them flocked for a bit of added sound deadening. Just wondering whether anyone else has re-made theirs out of something a little less 'MFI'? I know Maniacal Motorsports do a set for $100 (via CZP) but shipping and potential breakage doesn't make it worthwhile.

Still have no boost but been working on trying to get to the bottom of the issue before taking it to PowerZed or LA Autos. Car has had a full service and "supposedly" a boost test that came up negative. However I have been speaking to various people and hooked the car to Datascan and noticed some anomalies.. The Duty Cycle is blank and the A/F Ration stays permanently on lean even when I take it out for a drive. I thought it was supposed to oscillate on lea and rich? Checked the TPS and the connection had green crud on it, cleaned it as much as I can but not difference. There is also no difference if I disconnect while engine is running. No error…

Every year we take Zed for a holiday in France without a hiccup. We left Calais and was making our way south on the A28 when suddenly there was a complete loss of power. I managed to get her on the extremely narrow hard shoulder, popped the bonnet to cloud of steam and heat. The top rad pipe had split, boiling off all the water and I fear causing head gasket failure! The French garage I have been recovered to took one look at the engine and in the politest accent said.....oooow, Non! I will have to be recovered back to the UK on Saturday after completing our holiday in a hired, bright green Ford Fiesta, but I'm struggling to work out who/where I should have the…

Can somebody link me to a good gasket sealer. Need something that I can use on the sump and water pipes.

Not that many will still have stock brakes but, how good are they? I'm going to rebuild the calipers but I'm just wondering what people think as to how good they are

Is it possible to get a new one ? I've seen them in the states but the are all for left hand drive. Mines not in the greatest of conditions and I would prefer a new black carpet for my build.
