Hey, This is a vacuum hard pipe (with hoses) from the left side of the engine (from the front). I've replace the whole section with one piece of silicone hose. Is this ok, is there a specific reason for the hard pipe, a single piece of hose isn't going to collapse or anything is it?

I have a 1990 300zx ..Z32-A Import. I have had a Po:punk::punk:wer steering hose leak have had it repaired by Bonafide hose repair but still leaking . New hose purchased on Ebay from America but not the type on the vehicle any help would be most appreciated

Do the seat rails differ on the later spec cars. Had a quick look at my new interior today & the drivers rail where they bolt to the car at the front are a slightly different angle so I'm going to swap the rails with a spare seat.

Alot more in this one, well at least 30 !

For all those that are bored like myself at work heres a spot the difference. 6 more of these to come if you all like this one.

Parked near the harbour on Friday 11th August. Either white or pearl, hard to tell in the drizzle!

Evening guys, this has probably been covered numerous times but ill be buggered if i can find it. brought myself a complete rb25det fuel rail that iv harvested for injectors obviously. question is can i just dump them in with new seal kits and the replacement plugs while using the skyline rail caps to hold them in? In my head this makes sense??? keep seeing these kits that apparently adapt the z32 rail from phase one to two so it don't drip at idle??? can't fathom how adding a spacer solves it xD thanks in advance :D jay

JDM 91 Anyone?

How do the t-top wind deflectors fit? There doesn't appear to be any fittings on my car. Wouldn't care to go drilling holes...

Looking for advice on what setting to put KYB AGX shocks to when fitted on the rear with stock springs.....I'm looking for a comfortable compliant road ride...not for track use :thumbup1: Was thinking of going for the middle setting to start with (4) ....but read somewhere that the lowest (1) softest setting was an improvement on stock?

One of my reverse lights has the foglight conversion, are there any worthwhile LED options for this or shall I get a normal bulb? EBay has a ridiculous number of options. 1156 is the bulb type, right?

Hey guys, So today was hot as hell, so I had the fans on full on the drive back from Essex, but during the drive, the fans got really loud and I think I heard a noise. Anyway, this is the noise my fans make now.. Untitled by Mexicanfab, on Flickr Any ideas? Thank you all. Mex

MOT time is not normally as issue with my clean rust free low annual miles slicktop. My MOT testers are well used to the car. Last year he commented that the emission reading was "close" to the testing limit. Well its going to be on a modded car which is set to avoid the danger of going lean anywhere at any moment. So today My pal Steve helped me create an "MOT" map on the multimap option Emerald ECU I use. Its just a copy n paste of the real map but at anything from 750 revs up to 2500(MOT fast idle test revs) he has taken out 3/4 points on the fuel. The result is brilliant.:clap: At normal tickover(950/1000) the AFR sits at mid 14s which should pass but wi…

Where can I take a live from under the bonnet & have the on off switch in the front console.?

If a twin turbo starts smoking when it gets up to temperature as apposed to smoking straight from starting is that just as bad? Worse or better? I'm assuming they need replacing regardless, I'm also guessing this is an engine out job. So my last question does anyone have stock turbos or upgraded ones sitting around that are good condition that they want to sell? I would want good ones or new as I don't want to pull the engine out more than once. Also while its out, I was planning on cleaning up the engine bay and I've heard there are a few mods that can be done, what are they? I know this is all a bit vague, but trying to work out the best step forward…

Any good suggestions for a wide arch kit? I used to like the TwinZ stuff but I'm assuming in the last 5 years they still haven't sorted out a UK distributor? Can anyone suggest any other kits available in the UK? thanks

Was there some a case of some kind of clever headlights that dim themselver according to how bright it is outside? My machanic is saying there are selenoids in my headlights. They are 1990 uk spec ones

So I'm replacing my timing belt kit on my 1994 300zx with 150k miles or 243k kilometres, so I'm wondering can I go out and buy any old timing belt or are they mileage specific (first car not sure) because it would really suck to buy the wrong one, also does anyone have any suggestions on what brand of kit I should get

Spoke to another zed member in Beaulieu the other week about this colour match. Well I found this company in Ashford called LKG Coatings. Their specialist came out with an electronic reader which he took three readings from my Zeds bonnet. Here's what I got! A ground coat & a pearl coat both HK6 on the can. Can't imagine the ground coat been a normal grey base coat. Nissan pearl code is HK6G Just for your information !

Hi, well i got my s2 ptu, thanks a lot Greg, but as you know it needs a loom to re-connect it to the main loom, so has any one got one as i need it like now, not in 4 weeks time from Oz Cheers

I know some people at a previous meet were asking how to remove these mouldings, so this is how to remove them whilst dismantling as little as possible. Here is the location of the 5 screws needed to remove. The centre three bolts are covered by the plastic trim: Two of them have a conveniently placed hump: And the last one you have to drill in the general area, half way in the gap: The screws have a washer with diameter 1cm so a hole bigger than that would be best, you probably don't want to drop then in the cavity as you will have a rattle forever more... That should give you access to all the screws for the weatherstrip clip :) …

Hey guys, I have found some power steering fluid leaking from the bottom of the power steering solenoid. Will it be worth replacing a simple gasket? Or do I need a new unit? Thank you Matt

Ok shown some of the pics from other meets in Armacao du Pera, but this one a little different... a brand new first a Nissan 300zx and a stunningly stock one albeit exhaust and coil overs, the finish and trim quality along with the paint for such a hot country was amazing, and yes was our very own forum member here João !! nice to meet you and chat about your zed, nice purchase buddy...enjoy the pics guys >> Jeff
