Hi all !! I am a newbie and a Nissan 300 zx twin turbo owner. I recently had my top end rebuilt and had new bigger hybrid turbos fitted, after a while I started getting a mild knocking sound, which turned louder , its sounds like two hammers knocking together and resulted in a lose of power. I have verbally rang an nissan expertise gargage and they have said its the bottom end. The expertise gargae i used to do the rebuild on top end have said the same, but i am really annoyed at the money spent on the rebuild of top end and their expertise why they never suggested any thing abt the botton end when i had the top end rebuilt??? Can I have ur views on this??…

I`ve noticed today (I rarely use it)that when I switch on rear wiper it is very slow to get moving .Is that a fault with the relay or the wiper motor. Cheers

I've heard lots about you from .. well everybody! Seems as though you are the man in the know with ecu chipping. Hope this is within forum rules but could you please email me about your services? Im looking to have my ECU chipped so I can run 15psi on an otherwise stock-ish engine (intake exhaust the usual entry level crap). But I'd like to ideally post my ecu down and have it soldered in as I'm crap with a soldering iron! I've emailed the few companies in the uk that I can find and nobody gets back to me. My email is dlongmu@hotmail.com Many thanks! David

So i had my new zed out for the first time today, had the brakes sorted and fixed the headlight beam alignment. Nipped to a local supermarket and wondered to the back of the carpark to hide from usual people that like to dent doors... And would you adam and F'in believe it i spotted this, a Yellow UK TT Manual with a black 99 spec spoiler on a H plate parked at the bottom of the carpark. Didnt look too bad but im not a fan of the chrome v6 and tt badges :s and also GTR power??!

Just wondering if anyone can tell me the size of pipe i need for replacing the existing copper brake pipes? Also, where will i get the correct flaring tool for making the ends?

i was thinking of retrimming my new zed, once i get it going. does anyone have any pics of a red alcantara interior

Just wanted to say a big thanks to the Zedworld guys for transforming my Zed, she now feels like a new car with the new suspension parts and full service. I can't recommend these guys enough for quality of service and sound advice. Looking forward to my next visit. Cheers

Hi, I phoned Nissan Crosby (Liverpool) to order my bushing for the gearbox this morning and have to say they were VERY helpful!! They didnt have one in stock so i had to go to Wallasey to collect,but for your information the part number has changed; from 32202-b9500 to 32202-7F401 The new part fitted perfect and meant i could carry on with my conversion. The new bushing cost me £5.01 Regards Daz.

Hello all , delighted to have bought my second 300zx and it drives like a dream !:D Its a 89 Jspec manual twin turbo has: 2 Brand New Turbos. Nismo Head Gasket. Custom Made Forged Pistons. Custom Made Forged Conrods. Stainless / Samco Boost Hoses. Clifford Concept 650 + Remote Start Alarm. Apexi ACVR Boost controller.

Hi, My other half is trying to sort the Z out as shes not very well. The pipe under the air filter on the left is soaking wet and the right one is dry so hes got a hairdryer on it trying to dry it out. Anyway hes now checking the spark plugs and the previous owner had Bosch Super Plus FR7DC ones fitted amd are 10MM! He thinks these are the wrong size and fitting. Is he correct? Shes also smoking from the exhaust on the side that that pipe is wet so we are hoping thats sorted by the hairdryer. She was refusing to move more than a few inches and was almost cutting out then sending her revs high then almost dying. Sorry not technical as u can see. Hes out there…

A lot of posts go up asking which fluids are used in the Zed I thought we could come up with a list of them to view at a glance. Oil................ 10w 40 Manual gearbox EP90 Autobox ........??? Diff................??? Power steering.....??? And so on What do you think Allan

Seen you today about 11:15 near the Merc garage in Mile Oak, Tamworth. Nice car:gunsmilie:

Im sure many know of AshSPEC history - Great Z Products, poor Customer service. Well, looks like thats changed, for the good. http://www.300zxclub.com/showthread.php?t=165795 Might be a good time to start thinking about some Group Buys. There was a lot of interest in the Rad and Fan setup last time. AshSPEC http://ashspecz.com/

Just a quick question I have a 1990 n/a 300zx, what power steering fluid do I need? Going 2 be popping down to halfords soon. Thanks.

Took the plunge and went for a set of Kosei 18" 3-piece Split rims from Japan. Wont be to everyone's taste but they ticked some important points for me - Low Weight (7.7kg), Manufacturing Quality and a big fat lip :) F 18 x 8.5J offset +29mm R 18 x 9.5J offset +37mm Will tinker with the offset for an aggressive stance. Got a bit of a wait though....Going to take 4-6 weeks to arrive by Ship from Japan :glare:

Hi guys, does anyone have the part number for the above item? I`m off to Nissan tommorrow to get this part, and Nissan counter service is very poor, so i need to go armed, so i get the right thing.:yes: Thanko mucho Daz

H!:nuke: I hope you lot may be able to help me? My battery went flat and I boosted it of my mates jump pack. I let her run til warm then set off. I woudn't rev over 2500 rpm .Its an Auto box,import so tried all the 'box modes but none of them changed the rpm limit. Took her for about a 3 mile drive but still the same. I have to point out that when I moved it last night, when I switched it off it kind of , felt like back pressure or something as the engine lurched , I guess thats the best way to explain it. It starts fine,and runs up to 2500rpm as normal, is it a problem with the air mass meter? and where is it on these :censored:cars?

Hi im new on here but my wife joined a while ago. se had a 91 Z32 TT and here clutch is shot. What is the best replacement clutch for good money? Is the OEM ones worth it or should i uprate it? Finally where is best to get them from Thanks

Hi all Just wondered if anyone can identify the following models: 300ZX BM7890 HZ32000178 300ZX KE8888 GCZ32516695 300ZX BF5555 H231300003 300ZX KE9999 GCZ3516782 300ZX KE8575 JN10RGZ32U0001939 300ZX BM700 HZ32-000085 300ZX KC1953 JN10RGZ32U0002036 I think the one with chassis starting GCZ32 is a TT like ours but the others ? GCZ35 ? HZ32 ? Are those starting JN10R something to do with the Japanese tuner Jun ? In case of doubt this was extracted from the Brunei listing - was dreaming of finding oil under my garden !!
