can anyone help looking to set my timing on the cas unit any help please :confused1:

Having now acquired a set of OEM fogs, I noticed there's room for a 501 type bulb too. I know some of these were used as side lights on imports, but cannot make sense of why there is the wire for this in the loom if it were never intended to be hooked up? Did the UK versions maybe have the three pins on the connector?

Just a quick question. To remove the front hubs do you simply have to unbolt wheel bearing lock nut, located behind the front axle. Then pull the front hub out? Regards Kev

Anyone see Amanda Holdens Amazing Lives last night? Was mainly about female stunt artists. Anyway, spotted (couldn't really miss it) a red Z, owned by one of the stunt ladies. Managed to grab a still from the ITV player. having issues embeding the image though :mellow:

anybody ever used one of these ? http://www.courtesyparts.com/nissan-motorsports-roller-bearing-pilot-bushing-p-625584.html?cPath=882_5900& any benefits or flaws in using one?

We started putting the new engine together and all seemed to be going well until we put the cam sprockets on. Pop crack the sprocket has the end of a nice $1000 pair of cams stuck to the back of it :oops:. Turns out they are 8mm shorter than the stock ones and we did not know that you could not put stock sprockets on them :cursing:. I mean I would never have guessed that in like a million yers :angry:. So I am going to need to order up some new cams then fit them and buy some adjustable sprockets as well. Thing is no fecker knows how to get it running with this on it. I am just hoping Kyle can give me some help so I dont go on to destroy the new cams fit…

Well as maybe a few people have seen I have finally NOW got a new z (new to me. Not the white one lol. Here is a list I see so far will need done; 1. change to original steering wheel (momo one thats on) 2. change all locks and ignition barrel 3. change driver and passenger seat (drivers the worst) 4. change bulbs to stronger ones on low beam.

Just as i send payment of £80 for mine this crops up on ebay. Im sure someone must be after one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300ZX-Series-2-PTU_W0QQitemZ260547416848QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3ca9d61310 Marty

Is a lot of smoke on tick, due to turbos? Thanks Mark

What is the most common cause of indicators not working on Zs?

Spotted a purple R reg series 3 by KFC on the end of the the spine rd.Had nice gold centered wheels with one punctured tyre half off the rim as it was limped along!!

Has anyone painted their scuttle panels at all. I dont want any gaudy colours just a nice matt dark grey. Do the panels accept paint ok and is it better to rub down with very fine sand paper first? is it better to use lacquer to protect them?????:wink:

Hi, In the process of trying to get a cheap Z to do up, the question is, is there power difference between the the twin turbo manual or the automatic or is it the same engine and spec but different gearbox set up? Also If I end up getting an auto I will be doing a manual conversion is this hard work and costly. Thanks for the advice, Mark

I ordered some rear brake pads from Conceptua Tuning (thru Ebay). they were delivered today. Only ordered on 30th Jan EBC make OE equivalent. £23.99 DELIVERED. Bargain.IMO:cool2:

Red uk spec zed with what looked like a high level Bomex spoiler with twin single exit exhausts on the A13 today coming out of London. Anyone?

Iv been around here for some time now and have got to know the 300zx and its history fairly well, however, there are some questions that i'v never really seen any literature on to tell me why... i thought it would make an interesting discussion. why did they make lwb zeds why did they make swb zeds why did they make slicktop zeds why was the na not available in the uk why was the swb not available in the uk why were lwb tts not available in the us were slicktops available in the us? if not, why not why do uk specs have heated seats and jdm have folding mirrors the first 3 are my biggest interest for this discussion. i appreciate the obvious …

Hi guys Can anyone offer any feedback on quality of these ? My offside rear arch is bubbling and the bodyshop starting coughing at the possible price of panels from Nissan until I mentioned the availability of these repair panels but he expressed some doubt about the quality of non-factory parts....... Any reports much appreciated. Mark
