Hi all, Does anyone know if the dash lights circled in this pic are controlled by the ECU. As im going the AEM stand alone route and taking out the standard ECU im not sure if they will work anymore?? Cheers

Hi All, I am in two minds at the moment regarding my ZX Anglia. One of my options is to remove the engine and either sell the rolling shell or possibly keep it and go old school with an easier motor. If I decide to split the car from how it is now, what kind of price guide is there on the following bits please... 1. Full Twin Turbo Engine, including all ancillaries and Turbos 2. 5 Speed Manual Gearbox 3. Brand new TT full Wiring loom Are these bit parts easy enough to sell or these days? Any ideas or sugestions appreciated? Thanks Dave...

We finished the manual conversion yesterday, and I have to say it has completely transformed the car. Terry has been a tremendous help, and spent lots of time coming down every day to get on with the work. Many missing parts later and its finaly finished :D Thank you Terry It was definately worth the wait, and now shes back on the road, just in time for winter lol...

Just found this on Ebay. Has anyone used them? Whats your thoughts? Seem cheap enough as apprently there is a shortage of Z32 OEM oil filters. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Z32-300ZX-VG30DETT-K-N-Performance-Oil-Filter-Conceptua_W0QQitemZ110435839186QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item19b67d2cd2

As title, silver Zed spotted around 17.00hrs between A64 and Bramham.

I liked this video, thought i would share.

are the vtc units on the inlet cams intercangeble i.e can they go on both sides or will this cause problems the look the same ???

Anyone know how to fit an undertray, been under the car and cant see how, it looks too small to do any good, is it better to make my own?

To anyone who has had a full body respray, how much did it cost? im trying to get a quote, so a ball park figure of what i should be looking at paying would be most appreciated.

......For just a little longer (will still, hopefully, be ready for next summer though!), as I've just bought this........ As my current Rover 220SDi is really showing it's age now, and I want something over the winter that is reliable! Got what I believe is a good deal as I've traded in the 220 and paid the remainder (which wasn't all that much). It's a '98 on a S plate, it's got a few scratches here and there, but nothing major. It's the Rover 820 Vitesse Turbo Coupe, with full leather and all electric pack. I'll be picking it up on Friday from Oldham, so I've got a nice drive home (bloody roadworks!!)

whoooopie just bagged full tein set up with efd controller £700 as new nice amax presie for myself!!! :)

hi does anyone know of a guide to fitting a quick shifter? had a quick look and didn't look dead easy (my level) to do any advise? cheers

I cant seem to get the wheels I want in 19s but would these 20s fit? 20 x9.5 WORK Meister Black Wheel 5-114.3 5x114.3 5x4.5 20 x10.5 WORK Meister Black Wheel 5-114.3 5x114.3 5x4.5

Having after market parts trial fitted and tested for the Z32 would seem like a good idea and a good way for owners to have real world evaluation of the said parts before committing to buying them, so depending on the level of interest a series of threads for this purpose could be put together. So to kick it off to how it could look here we go.. please note though we do not sell this kit so have no vested interest in recommending these other than genuine comments. D2 8 Pot Big Brake Upgrade Ok if any of you zedders are presently looking for brake upgrades I cannot recommend enough the quality of the D2 big brake upgrade, having just fitted an 8 pot fro…

Spotted a lovely black zed on this cold frosty morning, with a high spoiler, a bit like mine! I was driving a lorry the other way and flashed my lights. Apart from that it was a boring day. (Except for driving my zed home from work!) ;) Anyone on here?

The silver one that is.... £20 :dance: Its been stripped for some time now and the over the past few weeks I've been trying to shift it - spoke to the local scrappy and they couldn't collect it because it didn't have an engine, the local recovery company couldn't collect it as you need a special license to take cars to the scrappy (which they haven't got yet)... etc... It was getting to the stage where I was ready to hire a stihl saw and chop it up and weigh it in, but the doorbell went earlier and there was - how shall I say this - a 'scrap metal collector' asking what I was doing with it, he offered me a small sum and loaded it on his pick up, then drove off, …

Hey folks just a quick one ive done a search on here and cant find a recommended rolling road around Cambridge area does anyone know of any? Marty

hi, does any where id get the plastic trim that goes along the bottom of the boot? the one on mines been took of to fit the spoiler, cheers.

I had a look to see how my car is coming along today, the whole thing is being taken to bare metal and I am having new arches welded on both sides as well just to be on the safe side. All the windows are either out or coming out as well so it should be one hell of a job when it is done. They are also doing under the bonnet to match so there is a lot of prep being done there as well. Bodyshop of the year two years in a row and it shows to be honest!.

hi just wondering if any have seen a red 300zx registation number is h933gwd if any one have seen it could you let me know i will put some pictures on

When starting the car from cold, the revs are up a bit as expected (about 1200) but fail to decrease although the car is warmed up but if the engine is turned off and back on again, the expected idle of around 900 is evident! It does this without exception each time and there is no faultering or erratic idling, just either of the two figures of revs. My only thoughts are to do with the water temp sensor/connectors or possibly an air lock which sorts itself if the engine is turned off?

If there is water in the oil but possibly due to loose oil cap and alot of rain with the bonet up. would this give a false positive on a sniffer test. Don't know wether i can just get it tested without having to flush all the oil out?

Evening folks, apparently the Z has speed sensitive steering, so, why does my little zoomer snake around lanes like it's on heat? Despite running 245's all round, I notice the steering has about 1cm-1.5cm of play at most times. JeffTT mentioned that I had a slight HICAS bearing issue that needed to be dealt with which will probably contribute to this issue, but I don't think it would account for all of it. Other than that, has anyone tightened up the steering so that it stays firm and steady at any speed? It's just not straight and level and firm enough for me. It's had tracking/alignment and balancing done, so all the vibration has disappeared, now I just ne…
