Just a bit of fishing, has any one got a Series 2 PTU for sale , need to know if its my S1 PTU causing the misfire i can fix it quickly, Cheers Rich

Hi everyone. Looking for advice about buying a 3000zx manual gearbox ca 1990-1993. Which are the weak points that I should look out for?

If you've been following some other thread of mine, you'll know i've got a misfire , its the middle plug on the drivers side. i've whipped the plug out and the piccy is below, is there anything i can gather from the state of the plug which might lead me to the reason for the misfire. Also the other piccy shows a pipe was disconnected i've no idea what this does so any tell me what would happen if it not connected. Thanks

Hi Guys, i was wondering if its possible to test a ptu series 1 off the vehicle, i've got access to a psu if that helps. Thanks Rich

Bought this car with the aim to fully customise or track it not sure which anyone know this car ?

hello, needing some clarification would parts be ok to use as a replacement? trying to figure out the clutch pressure problem. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fits-Nissan-300ZX-Z32-3-0-Twin-Turbo-Variant2-TRW-Clutch-Slave-Cylinder-CSC-/301975683639?fits=Model%3A300+ZX&hash=item464f274237:g:nVUAAOSwtJZXU~S0 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAPANPARTS-Replacement-Clutch-Master-Cylinder-FR-192-/162305889177?hash=item25ca2f5399:g:zskAAOSwtYxZgp6p

Having timing issues with my car. Not a huge electrical genius so be gentle please! The timing is set to 15 btdc after I rebuilt the engine a couple months ago when i start it, It can't hold it's idle and dies if i leave it, but if you hold the throttle open and steady it's revs it runs fine, but the timing is jumping all over the place Now when i crank to start it runs 15 fine, but once started and still warm the timing goes completely erratic, going to 40-50 to maybe 20ish but never settles back to 15. Is this a CAS issue? Has a speciality Z chip so can't imagine that's at fault. Or maybe something else to blame?

Hi Guys, The cars been going okay since i changed the part at the end of the wiring loom in front of the fan, cant remember its name for the life of me. But now its started to misfire again, i'm slowly going up the wall, One thing that i changed on my merc when it misfired was the Air flow sensor, Something i've not thought of changing in the Zed. Anyone got one or can recommend a place, cars a series 1 '90 N/A Auto. Shouldn't have got rid of my spare one... Rich

Im stripping my targa ready for a respray how do the trims that go up the side of the windscreen and over the roof come off? Same with the piece between the targa tops?

Hi all, I have a block that I purchased some time ago, but unsure of the year of vehicle that it came out of. The serial number is VG30 048929 N Does anyone know if there is a reference site where you can date the engine just from the serial number? Many thanks in advance :-)

Hi Guys Suddenly, the power forward option on my electric drivers seat has stopped working, all the other functions work fine, it just wont go forward. Are the individual motors, etc, i would sacrifice one of the other movements, once set, if thats possible, Also if i have to remove the seat, is it a big jobby.... is there a way to overide the electric motor and push it forward.

After fiddling around with exhausts for quite a while I have decided that I'll be replacing my cat back. For my rolling road tune I was running a hks centre section with 2.5" piping and some universal 2.5" back boxes. The power seemed ok but they were still holding the car back and also droned significantly between 2-3k. I then updated my apexi system to use the new hks centre and full 2.5" piping. The sound was great if not a little too quiet but they are too restrictive for the tune I have now so they have to go. What I want in a new exhaust: 3" performance system No drone Quad tips- square oval if possible What I've looked at. An ab flag p…

Had Ksport 8 pots my my subaru and now looking at kits for the 300, seems to be limited choice? Any recommendations or experience/advice welcome. Ksports/D2/Brembo etc? Cheers in advance

Hi All does anyone know where i could get a good car cover for the Zed? id like to get a proper fitted one instead of a universal cheers Craig

Its been posted before and well discussed but..... Wow I do think its a great buy. A UK Z32 auto 300zx, two owners, 34,000 miles and in great condition. Might need a few changes to bring it back to oem but all easy jobs. What would you pay to own what could be the best UK Z in the UK? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO-AUTO-GENUINE-UK-JUST-34-000-MILES-1-OWNER-STUNNER-/272786111050?hash=item3f8351ba4a:g:Mj4AAOSwjDZYluvN

From 2006 in Nottinghamshire. Anybody recognise or own any of these Z's?

After a 5 year secondment to Subaru im finally back in a Zed........ and what a zed.. Picked up Darren's mint silver z on sat and couldn't be happier, after spending some time really looking over the car its amazing the level of detail and just how much work he put into her. Wow doesn't quiet cover it. Thanks Darren it was great to meet you and I promise I will look after her.... already ordered a few bits for the engine bay, skins and rear cover :) Craig

I currently have a set of 19" TSW Multi spoke wheels on my 1991 TT LWB and I am considering changing them for a more dished style....I am also thinking of perhaps a more retro style ....and drawn to something like those fitted to Gaz 300's fantastic Red shortie..... I am thinking of dropping back to 18" both for the ride improvement and the current occasional fouling I get with the 19's ...(although that is probably more to do with the size of hub centric spacers I have!) Anyhow...Ali has photo shopped them onto my car in both 19" and 18" format below... CURRENT RS MESH 19" RS MESH 18" Comments please ....(be gentle FunkyS…

Ey up. Only saw one this year on my hols to Englandshire. Black one parked in York on the side of the A59. Last Thursday, I think it was. Was it you?

As some of you may know I've been back at home for a few weeks to get some work done on the 300. I thought I would share some pics and info on my progress

My tripmeter and odometer from my 1990 Nissan 300ZX twin turbo don't work well, sometimes they run and then they stop again. Also my speedo meter, it drops completely dead, maybe later it suddenly comes alive again and going up and down and then it works again. But later it will fall dead again, etc. Any idea what this problem can be with my meters? Maybe the sensor on the automatic?....or?

I seem to of I seem to of misplaced my gearbox bolts, am i right in thinging that I cb24 only source not her set from a tt manual and other variants used different sizes? Thanks
