gotta fix the rear lights, indicators are fine, checked the bulbs there all fine, checked the contacts there all fine, checked the voltage....seems a bit odd sort of flickers up and down to quick for the metre, front lights ALL work? cant work out why the rears dont? so in short neither the brake or rear side lights work, any clues? if the fuse had gone surely the fronts would be out? or are they separate? if so where is the fuse? mines jap is there a translation......its been 10 months without my car this is the last thing left....... heeeeeeelllp http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=123680&referrerid=14871

Sorry this seems a very silly question but I've noticed 'safety boost' being mentioned a few times. Let me describe my cars power delivery: 3k boost kicks in 4k-4.5k it goes up to 7.5psi , doesnt go off the guage or anything then the power seems to drop off quickly by 5k. Whilst the initial torque and surge is fantastic I can't help but think its running out of puff awfully fast. If I increased the boost to 15psi, would it have the same amount of kick low down and would the powerband be extended closer to the redline? The car was dyno'd (with catback mongoose exhaust system) at 273 bhp at the fly, or 245bhp at the wheels.. which seems a little lowish, thoug…

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1422975.htm This guy is after my cougar. He wants 2k for his zed and claims its mint which i doubt to be honest, has full SH and receipts for all work carried out. that grey is one of my favourite colour for a zed. Any thoughts on it?

just abit of fun here but my brother drives a mk3 supra turbo stock and he says he would beat my 93 manual tt, i said he was talkin out his backside but he's adament about it, what do you lad/lasses think about it? thers a crate of lager on this so iv gotta be sure

Guys I read these are important when you start running more boost. Who knows what? Or are they a waste of time? I also read that the CAT has EGT probe, when you De CAT these are removed. (no problem just ensure the wires don't short) Just changing my exhaust over amongst other mods, Should I place an EGT in the down pipe just after the Turbo? The manifold would be obvious place but a ******* to get too. Thanks for your advice Seb

Hi, after leaving the car for a week over Xmas, cleared her of snow, opened her up and started her up, fired first time and ticked over purrfect, drove around a while and noticed my indicator's weren't working. When i got home i tested the hazard switch and the bulbs in the dash blinked and the outside lamps also blinked, the separate left/right ones still refused to work. Found the fuse in the footwell, 10amp red, but it was not blown.. Looked around the other fuse blocks but nothing.. Any body got any ideas where to look next? Rich

Hi - Happy New Year to all - I have been rattling on about my fuel rail for what seems an age now, but I have finally got something finished and ready for my car! Just to recap: I wanted injector choice using top feed Bosch style injectors. I considered the 300degree rails (and others) a poor solution (for me). I wanted parallel fuel feed options. I wanted to prevent thermally conducted engine heat from the engine warming the fuel delivery system. I wanted to be able to change injectors easily without plenum removal. I wanted a fuel rail that could grow with my engine as it changes and becomes more powerful. (This system is good for up to 1600cc injecto…

Ok guys my autobox has starting acting a lil strange lately so Im going to give it a service tomorrow. I have looked around a little bit but still havent found the answers that im looking for. I have read that Dexron ATF is the correct fluid to use and that I should check the fluid level while the engine is running and the tranny is in park after I cycle the tranny through the gears. I.E. 1,2,D,N,R,P. Is this correct? Does anyone have any tips? Thanks in advance for your help.

A poll to see how many would like the Car of the Month competition revived. Please take into consideration, that there is a fair bit of effort and time required to make the competition run smoothly, organise the trophies etc. Isaac ran the last few and it a decision was made to knock the COTM on the head, due to lack of nominations, votes and general interest. We have had a fair few new members since and some renewed interest. So get voting, its down to you the members to make the competition work. Cheers Graham

Whatever happened to this competition? Seems to have died down?

anybody got the correct route for the lines on the z. there are 4 original "fixing" points on the z but the lines only come with 3 collars. 1 is accounted for by the brake pipe but where do the other to route?? which 2 out of the 3 are used cheers gaz

Hi Guys, Could anyone please give any suggestions on what make and type these lowering springs are, are they coil overs and therefore adjustable? or are they just lowering springs, what would they drop the car by? Being from a swb would they also fit a lwb? does the kit look complete? I`m in negotiation with Rigs who is selling them, but we are both unsure of their full use Thanks for any help Daz

New on here but considering buying a 300zx (long wheel base). Seen a car I like but just wondered if they fit in a standard size garage? Cheers

Saw a green M reg zed parked up down a residential street in Anfield on new years eve at about 1pm. Was it you??

When I lock my car the interior light stays on and then dimms to off. No issue with this but im SURE my old one didnt do it. Infact its somethnig that all my bmw's have always done but im sure my old zed didnt do it... Is it something to do with this model year(95)? Or it was broken on my old one? or its something to do with this particular car? Not complaining but just wondering if anyone else has the same thing?

Just found this it may help some off you.. http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/LLLEDs__W0QQ_armrsZ1

Quick question, which extends lower down? the 99 Spec bumper or the 89 spec bumper? Due to the awkward nature of my drive my new car just touches as its being brought into the drive. My old one did with its 89 spec bumper but I wasnt so bothered about that! My question is if I were to revert back to an 89 spec bumper would it solve the issue, or would it make it worse?
