Well, ive just been out with the wife in the Zed for the first time in 2 months. Fair weather zed:wink: I tell you something...the Germans haven't a clue when we pull up at the lights!!!:w00t: Fookin great.......i love this car!!!!

I recently purchased the fast and furious box set. Been watching them all and other car films i have and why is it the 300zx doesnt seem to feature in these, is it becasue you dont see it much at drifiting tracks or is it just becoming a forgotten car, or is it because it will show them all up.

Any have the easy version of the intallation photo guide for a right hand drive car. Looked on FAQ but there no help Thanks

I'm looking for some advice being a newbie to the world of 300zx's. I want to get a bit more power from my car so am looking at raising the boost, fitting a decent exhaust and decat, and some decent airfilters. My question is, is it worth going for a whole new ECU from the likes of MINES? I've been offered the choice of a few different ECUs, a MINES VX ROM, Tomei, Jun and Racing Garage. Apparently they are all design to be run with stock injectors and intercoolers, uprated exhausts and air filters. Has anyone had any experience with any of these? With the ECU, exhaust and air filters, would that be all I need to get it to a "stage 1", if there is such a thing?

As my Zed is going to be off the road for a bit I am looking for a decent soft material car cover for interior (ie garage) use, can anyone recommend one. I have tried using the search facility, but it doesn't appear to be working...:no:

Hi guys need a bit of advice, Im considering changing my Mines ecu back to a standard one until I can get my car up to Jeff@Zedworld at the end of feb, at the moment my car is eating fuel like no bodies business. The car has following mods, FMIC, Decat Exhausts,K&N filter, Im no expert but i take it i can go back to a standard Ecu until i can get the car to Jeff for a once over and set up or will i just make things worse??? Cheers Craig

Hey folks can anyone recommend a good bodyshop around the Cambridge area i think its hard to get a true reflection of a bodyshop without some good recommendations from previous work. Cheers Marty

right now my z has been off of the road for a while and has been kept in a dry lockup while i try and do the work on the gearbox. now its getting a bit dusty and the other day i check to see if everything is ok with the paint (call it paranoid) anyway i think i have found a problem.......... what i seem to have on a section of paint on the roof is what i can describe as tiny bubbles (not rust) but at first glance looks like overspray on the t-top and mid roof section.you have to look really closely to see them but on closer inspection i can press the bubbles as if the are air!!! these are tiny about 0.5 mm diameter but there are loads of them :sad: …

Is that one without catalytic convertors for a 91 TT ? Also what do you think is better blue flame or mongoose?

Saw a sleek looking Z this morning about 8am - black, bodykit, high rear spoiler, HIDs and 6 pot rear lights. Looked nice, not seen it before. Anyone on here? :rockon:

Ist a red M plate, about 11am A259 Middleton towards Bognor, I flashed at you, and you did back, i was in the transit. Thought it might have been Marv300, but number plate is different. Next one was parked up top of Wick Street Littlehampton. 3.30pm An immaculate white shortie with black wheels. G120*AL. One of the tidest and clean zeds ive ever seen. Stunning. Who are you, i know most of the local zeds, but not you guys.

I have recently had my autobox replaced with a tested 2nd hand one and cant seem to get reverse to work with the new gearbox. Does anyone have any ideas as to what would cause it not to work in my car even though it worked fine in the donor car? All the forward gears work just no reverse. Is it possible the mechanic just missed an electronic hook up or needs to reset the the cars computer?

Anyone have a Ash spec rad? I have had one for ages and finally getting round to fitting it but don't know what brackets go where. Pictures of the brackets that come with it shown below. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Ant

I no this has been said before but, would like a wee refresher,my insurance is up soon so i was looking for the best place to go to.

I no this has come up before but i need a refresher,my car insurance is up soon and i think im paying to much so is there any cheap ones out there,at the mo im paying £415 fully comp for a n/a 92 import with no mods added on the policy,and im 38 with full no claims.

My rear arches are becoming increasingly tatty with bubbling paint from rust over an area of 4-5 inches on each side, anybody got a guide price for getting this tidied up?

Where can i get one from? seen the in the us but postage is like $250 anyone got one

Hi looking for some help, I brought a 2nd hand Stainless exhaust off the forum. When I came to fit it tonight, the near side exhaust bank appears to have an extra CAT in it. Certainly nothing like it driver side. Is this common with UK Models? Also there is a sensor in the casting, I guess this is a CAT Temp sensor ? I think I need an exhaust eblow (Short one) going through roughly 90 degrees to match up with the downpipe. Can anyone shed any light on this? Cheers Seb

Ok i thought i would start a new thread as my recirc thread has become a bit long. Right basically i cant boost past 17-18psi it will hit 17-18psi then drop down to 14 or so..... its not the ebc as ive had the actuator pipes off and it still wont boost past the above pressure. fyi i dont have the stock actuator solenoids anymore. the ebc does make a difference, if set to 0% it will boost a steady 10-11 psi on 100% of course it will on boost to 17to18psi depending on gear... anyway this is irrelevant seen as ive had the actuator pipes off. i have ditched the recircs hoping they were leaking, I fitted a single Bov which dumps nicely with no leaks.... This …

both sides, how do i 'fit' them properly? presumably i need to remove them and cover the back of the black bits in sealent? but what type? and how exactly do they come out? seems to be a bit of metal in the way??!?!

http://bringatrailer.com/2009/07/21/nicest-weve-seen-1990-nissan-300zx/ Very clean original Z. Check out the interior!!:sad:

Help me out here, what is this and why is it located there! seems strange to run a pipe all the way to a solenoid at the front and then back again and through the bulkhead. Done an engine swap and it's the last vacuum pipe I got left. I'm guessing it needs vacuum from the balance bar? Is it related to the AIV or EGR system 'cos I ditched both of them. Where does it connect to and more importantly what is it!? Pics are of the solenoid and pipes and one of each end of the pipes: Don't worry about the mess of pipes and wires and open T piece where the EGR used to be that's all sorted now, just this pipe left that I wanna know what it is before I blindly conn…

What has happened to the front bumper?! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1994-NISSAN-300ZX-TARGA-TOP-RARE-MANUAL-NON-TURBO_W0QQitemZ270517579934QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item3efc1ab09e Very strange...:confused1: Sorry if it's a repost..:whistling:

Will a UK manual TT radiator go in my jap manual converted TT?
