Help meeeeeeeee I can't open my boot! The cable still has adequate tension to release it, and pops off the petrol cap.. well it would if the cap had pins keeping it in place :whistling: Anyhoo the boot wont release, also I've tried the three keys in the rear barrel but it seems corroded and wont budge :closedeyes: Any other methods or cracking the nut?

Hey all, I posted a while ago about an erratic idle and hesitation whilst driving, on my lunch today i checked the maf and maf connections to make sure it wasnt loose or dirty, and now the car wont go above 2500 revs :helpsmilie: Have i fooked something or do i need to reset something? :-S

Just found a bloody great hole on the rear of my swb, its on the lower part of the sil behind the door just infront of the wheel, where body panel curves under the car. Sorry i know naf description, anyway my question can this panel be bought or do i just get the body shop to patch it before fitting the bodykit and respray? Ive just covered it in a bit of black duct tape for now to hide it. Id get a pic but the duct tape will just pull all the paint off now. Cheers Craig

Can someone recomend a good cat 1 alarm and fitter. Fitted prices are different all over the place. Supplier have been saying you have to get it fitted properly but surely if they are approved then it is properly. Some options would be nice. Thanks.

could i put 15w50 into the zed its a mobil one fully synthethic

Hi- Can anyone advise me on this. I'v been looking at the turbos from underneath the car, The exhaust housing has Garrett cast into it with 5 bolt elbows, the compressor has HKS cast into it. (I think i read somewhere that HKS don't actually manufacture turbos but that they modify or alter mainstream manufacturers products, hence both brands) I am trying to identify what model no. of HKS turbo I am looking at. There is a label plate but the script is tiny and very difficult to read with a torch and mirror! Is there any easy way to identify these? Thanks

Hi, just a quick insurance question for any 'Performance Direct' customers, Have any of you got an import zed on your policy Thanks Rich

hello people im new to the 300zx ownership and had a bit of a bad start, iv brought a uk spec tt with manual conversion done and alwas well for a few days untill engine started to knock witch turned out to be bottem end so done and engine swap (found a low miliage lump for 600).when we done the engine swap we noticed that the clutch was on it way out so we thought it was ok when we took it out so itll be ok for alittle longer untill we took it out for its first drive. when on boost or changing gears fast it would grind like the clutch was not fully engaged but if you change gears slowly its fine. so i thought i would just bite the bullet and put a new clutch in as iv done…

Just been give a n/a engine from a customer of mine, It has been sat in his shed for over 2 year. Long story for another day. Had little look over it tonight and looks seized. Any tips on getting it unseized! Thanks :thumbup1:

When i am out in my zed, im for a go with anything. Most of the time i get pesterd by crappy clio's, corsa's and other stuff. But this evening whilst out for a drive, a red Chrysler Crossfire, gets beside me at the lights. Starts revving it and waiting for the go. With no other cars about, i feel rude not to. On green off we go. but i can hear his engine screaming, im not even playing yet. he is behind me already, and i havent changed up yet. Then i go into 2nd, and when the turbos kick in, it is clearly game over, and his headlights become further and further away. The zed made it look so very easy, and whilst i grinned with a smug look. Had to slow down, to enj…

Does anyone know who makes this bumper lip. Paul

well my 300zx plans are back on track Before xmas i took my red 300zx 2 + 2 tt auto of the road to do the following manual conversion engine refresh remove all rust repair rested out patch around rear light fit 99 spec front colour change to white or black interior refresh exhaust change well i stripped down the entire front of the car took the engine and box out and then found a rather bent chassis leg. looking into things it explains why the bumper never sat quite right and even why the tagas had rubbed a bit on the roof. after alot of pondering i decided repair was not going to be the best route along with the other jobs as it would be…

Hi Guys, I`m fitting my BC coilovers at the weekend, I have a small idea on what to do,but where do I start? any hints/tips for me along the way, do I need any special tools? or other parts before I start?

Hi all I'm sure this has been covered numerous times, i was just wondering who are the best insurers for our cars, Lynbrooks wouldn't quote Heritage said no Aviva quoted £1300 i'm 49 1 claim (not my fault) 1 speeding (sp30) 2 years ncd, driveway, 6000 miles Fully comp All applications were for unmodified car, once quote is given i would then add the mods just to see the difference. However i went to confused.com and got this result, all were £700+ except the top one at £328. Insurance company is Performance Direct. so theres one to add to the list of decent quotes. Just to add, i was with the AA , usual quote was £300-£400 latest quote…

FINALLY GOT THE ZED N THE ROAD BUT BRAKE PEDAL HARD AND NOT REALLY STOPPING , AND ADVICE , ID LIKE TO STAY WITH THE STANDARD CALIPERS FOR THE MOMENT BEST PADS ?? SHOULD I FIT BRAIDED HOSES ??:helpsmilie:

People having 18” wolfrace sharks (or deep dish wheels), have you had some troubles to clear some bigger brake rotors ? The trouble may come from the deep spokes. Typically the Dan DB 315mm kit using OEM calipers. This kit clears under my stock wheels with 15mm spacers.
