Hi all, i have seen a thread regarding the way to re-align the gear knob, but i cannot find it. Does anyone know where/ how to make the stick line up nicely? When i screw mine all the way, she faces west. (if you know what i mean) Cheers, Al.

Silly question, can someone measure the width of their 300 including the wing mirrors, from the tip of the left to the right mirror please. CM or mm please. I can only find measurements of the car. Thank you.

Hi all, It's been months since i've touched the V8 project due to cars blowing up and financial commitments but i've had some good news today. I'd had the metro blow up on me just before Christmas which has meant an engine swap then i've had alot of work on to get a major site finished off ready to get the money in for my tax return. Good news is the metro was finished the other week and goes off to its new owner this week (soon as i replace the stereo and give it a quick clean) and my tax bill came out £1000 cheaper than i was expecting so in the next week as soon as i get the money cleared into my account i can order my final parcel of goodies from the st…

now iv made the car mechanically sound and as happy as larry (whoever he is?) i want to make it faster, its an na so naturally all breathing mods have been done, it pulls well and feels healthier than its ever been, i nearly bought a nos kit last year but i lost my bottle (was kinda semi talked out of it) some peoples opinion are that its a waste of time on the 300's due to the engine settup id be happy with a 50 shot per bank giving an (guesstimate) of 322bhp, id be looking at a wet progressive kit with an arm/dissarm and micro switch on the throttle for the hit - www.jimwolftechnology.com/wolfpdf/N2O%20NA%20300ZX.PDF

Went up to bodyshop a couple of weeks ago and fitted all the new exterior trim. I took the targa panels away, stripped them and replaced the trim on them, along with new corner mouldings. Going to collect tomorrow and get it back home! I will then need to strip out the cream leather interior and replace the seats with my cobra ones. Will take some pictures and post up over the next couple of days.

does anyone know the best place to buy them ? cant seem to find them anywhere

Seen the same pick-up as in your signature yesterday at woodhall round about heading towards glasgow.......... was it youuuuuuuu? wife in the passenger seat? I was heading home towards greenock in the cougar.:alucard:

Hello every1, have a problem,was hoping some1 could help me with, my zx tt as a rattle/knock what sounds like bottom end, Its weird cause the sound only happens if i blip throttle around 2500 revs If i rev it high [6000] theirs no noise at all, And no noise before 2500, Put it on a ramp today, and from underneath the car it sounds like its coming more from the top end of engine, I change the oil every couple of months at the worse for mobil 10w 40, and dont do many miles, And its allways around the maximum level {dont use much oil, never needed to top up between oil service] But last few days its been getting a little tappy [lifters] so was gonna chan…

went for a 2 hour drive up to southhampton today to go and pick up my seats from Madmax. had a look at all the parts he as got and the car and all i can say is WOW:shock:. everything is top notch and amazing. the engine build quality is amazing. cant wait to see it all finished. Madmax is a great guy and will have a car to match :thumbup:. again... many thanks to Madmax for the seats. they are lovely and i cant wait to fit them into my car. also saw 2 zeds on the way back.

need to either fix the viscous one iv got.. (somehow) or an upgrade? (somehow)...... can you weld viscous diff's? or do i just get a poo'y s13 open diff and weld that up? 2way sound terrible, 1.5 would suffice - any ideas?

Just thaught id post some info, maybe usefull. all the threads saying when you do a NA to TT conversion, you need to use an electronic boost controller, as the NA loom doesnt have the connectors for the boost solenoids (without these conected youl be only on 7PSI) you dont need the TT loom, nor do you need a EBC. you can just wire them to an ignition powered live. ive run each one to an earth (the engine) then the posative just needs to go to an IGNITION powered live. it doesnt matter which wire on the solenoids you use for the earth as their not polarity sensative. dont run them to a constant 12+ tho, or as i have found out …

I think that my car is being a bit mean with its speed readings, especially at higher speeds. At an indicated 75 i'm absolutly howling past the wagons, it seems to rev a little harder than my old one i have to admit! Could anyone tell me what rpm the car should be doing @ say 70 in 5th? then i can see if im imagining things! My car is a TT manual (i assume it has a TT diff!) The other evidence ive got to support this is i thought that in theory if a standard car could pull to the redline in 5th it would be doing 186mph. So at 3500rpm it should do 93mph. Mine reads more like 83! Also to answer another question, does anyone have the stock tyre sizes for a ja…

Im starting to think about the next steps for power. I'm happy with my engine internals at the moment (555s, Wiseco pistons, etc.), and so my question is, what 'external' engine mods would you do with the engine out? Im saving up for some turbos (possibly JWT 530BBs, HKS, sort of middle-of-the-road power), and Im considering those manifolds that keep knocking about on fleabay. ...i suppose Nismo engine mounts would be one, any others? (not just power mods :) )

What rear bumper this is ?im not sure if its the xenon or strosek ? and also if you know where i could get a hood like that, i absolutely love that zed , i was gonna fit a vapor wide on my new zed but i saw a rear pic of it on an actual car and it looks hideous ! and as for the front bumper i think its the west one?not sure if theres any other front bumper that would look better than that one. any ideas you might have would be much appreciated :D

... and I don't care what you lot think! :tt2: sorry if its a repost... Skyline R32 GTR rear lights - obviously customised but look damn cool! :tt1:

Firstly I am trying to remove the cog off the crankshaft that the timing belt runs around. I used a pulley remover to get the large metal wheel off that holds all the ancilery belts. But for the life of me I cant see how to get that cog off behind it without possibly damaging it?... any suggestions really appreciated. Secondly I have a full OEM gasket set but it does not seem to include gaskets for the water pump where it attaches to the block. It had some kind of liquid gasket on there when I took it off, does it get replaced with the same sort of stuff again? Ta very much :mellow:

Well all my stuff turned up last night, I unpacked and sorted it all out today :taz: The workmanship on the block is lovely, I cant wait to see the baby running :cowboy: I have to say thast clutch is the dogs *****cks as well... worth every penny PIC HEAVY LINK http://www.project300tt.com/2010/01/30/all-my-parts-have-arrived-look-at-this-little-lot/
