Graham on the FAQ site, you posted a pdf of the colour codes and stats. May I ask if the figures of the numbers of cars was for a particular market such as export, or for the production line. I just saw the number of slicktops in 1990 was 62. If that is the actual production line then I have one quite rare model and the overall numbers of slicktops is even rarer than that of the convertibles. Somehow though I have a feeling that there were more produced between 89 and 96. Wikipedia says that the following are the production numbers : 1989–2000 (1990–1996 in U.S) number produced: 164,170 (for export: 99,286) (for JDM: 64,884)

i got a set of deep dish 18" gto wheels, i want to sell them but not sure if they fit the zed, does anyone know??

Guys I will be very surprised if anyone can help with these but worth a try. Today we ran the main feed from the tank in the back to the engine bay. Now you have to tap into the fuel rail for high pressure fuel for the system. First question As I have 300 degree fuel rails do I drill and tap a hole into where one of the partially threaded blank holes are. I believe they are for fuel temp sensor but there are two as they are designed identical for each side?. Reason I ask is they look very close to the edge of the rails and maybe you need to drill and tap a completely new hole?. Second question Where on earth did you mount your solenoids f…

as this car is only 15 mins from my house, i keep getting bits off it, front fogs, fuse box covers, small things like that. most recently i got the sun visors as they are better than mine and have the flap over the mirror on the pass side. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-FAIRLADY-300ZX-3-0-1993-Breaking-4-Spares_W0QQitemZ270547894543QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3efde9410f on talking to the breakers yard owner he tells me, it broke down in London, then it was lifted off the streets and then the owner never claimed it from a compound. he bought it of course complete as it stood for only £175.00, he had to go down for it though and bri…

can anyone shed light on the code 10??

any body fairly close to lowestoft with datascan or conzult that i could plug into???? the z is running a bit off when cold, rough idle and doesnt seem to have hardly any reaction to the throttle - boost gauge goes up a bit but doesnt hardly move, as soon as its warmed up or if left to warm fully the problem doesnt happen, had the butterfly valves cleaned out, changed the spark plugs and had a check over for leaks. could do with plugging in to see what it says?? any other ideas of what i could try???

I got a N/A PS pump with the Hicas elimination kit from Z1. Can anyone confirm where the two bolts are showing in the pic whether they are to hold a tension bracket? Cheers, Ant

Would a fiat punto turbo, supposedly done up to the nines. beat a 300zx twin turbo? i know its lighter. but from what I've seen so far. the top BHP for the punto is around 450BHP at stage 2 obviously weight is going to play a major factor too on this one.

You were northbound, from Northampton to Kettering and waved. Looked tidy but was only a quick look as I saw you pretty late.

hi there just about to put my 90 series 1 swb slicktop into paint and need to know the original paint code for pearlescant white? anyone know how i can get this...?

Quick question, My zed has been lowered by 2" , now can someone who knows how the original suspension is set up, tell me the way or ways it might have been done. I would look under it if i could get my head under the car, and in any case, i probably wouldn't know what i was looking for.. Cheers Rich

Hi Guys, I've seen a lot of post enquiring how to swap a auto box with a manual one, now, if there was a car with a manual box who wanted an auto, is it a case of just swapping them over, or are extra parts required. Thanks Rich

my car doesnt have them and probably due to lazyness in its past. would i be better off leaving ot of getting them replaced? at the moment i can see the engine gets dirtier quicker and i presume cab noise would be louder but am i running major risks not having them on? obviously i am more careful around puddles and in the rain but i can still see it being an issue is i accidently hit a big puddle but on the plus side would cooling be better?

Every thing on my aircon pod, apart from my hazard light is dead? It's only that pod everything else works as intended? Iv checked all the fuses an none are blown is there a relay for the side pods I've missed somewhere? Was hoping to put the car infor it's Mot next week, but there is no point until I get my wipers working again. Is there something I've missed? I've checked the fuses in the drivers foot well and under the bonnet but can't see anything else.

Just been to have my tracking done , and the nice man said, that the wheel size on the rear are to small, they are 225-50-16 and should be 245-45-16 any thoughts if this is correct ,ta

I notice Bailey do a recirc valve, a DV30. Now I can not stand atmospheric dump valves for a huge list of reasons (I can't stress this enough), so the DV30 would be the only thing I'd go for if I were to replace my current aging OEM recirc valves. The Z32 TT isn't listed as one of its application fittings....but nor are any Japanese manufacturers listed. Just wondering if anyone's had any experience with these?

Is the rear trim above the rear lights the same on both the SWB and 2+2. Cheers everyone :). looking to replace :)

Hi, my searches so far seem to indicate that I have to take the intake plenum off to get all the throttle gear off.... i want to replace the fuel hose under the throttle bar right at the front of the engine... need alien fingers... lol... any advise?..... cheers.

I have the japspeed exhaust system which was purchase from ebay by the previous owner. It has the X pipe in the middle which i believe to be restrictive as it reduces down into an X and looks visibly smaller than two 2.5inch pipes which is what the system starts out as. I believe this may be restricting my top end bhp. Now, can i purchase a centre section from somewhere which doesnt tail into an X that will fit my current setup? which makes and where from? anyone? maybe a H pipe would work? Thanks

Does anyone have a spare internal cabin light cover they don't need please? Thank you
