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

hi all, out of curiosity, does anyone know the whereabouts of my old red zed? it was written off, J3xxUBM... it had 99 spec rear lights, spoiler, front bumper, nismo bushes, r33 brembos, hids, etc.... cheers!

I should spend more time working on my car and less time on the internet, would be cheaper that way as I seem to be buying stuff and fitting not a lot! So what parts have you been gathering? I currently have the following ready to fit: Apexi AVCR boost controller Apexi Rev Speed Meter Apexi Super Air Flow Converter Z1 Lightweight Flywheel Exedy Paddle Clutch A pillar trim (2 pods) Prosport Boost Gauge Prosport Air/Fuel Gauge Braided Clutch Hose Mine's ECU and a nitous kit in about a week lol :clap:

Hi folk, Was driving home today and the steering wheel started juddering, getting faster when i speed up. Lasted about 5min then went away. Also the brake pedal seemed to be soft and needed pumped when ever i stopped. This is the 2nd time its happened but weeks apart. Any ideas? Cheers Dillon :sad:
