whos got the sig with the motorcyclist going over the handlebars into the back of the truck? Just wanna show me mate...sorry for blatent misuse of the help and advice forum :o

Had a strange problem when arriving at work the other day, as i pulled into the car park the Diff Oil Warning light and the Lights warning light on the instrument panel lit up.. They won't go away and I can't figure out what could be causing both these to light up! My rear bulbs and brake lights are fine and my diff oil is also ok.. I;ve checked the little black box in the drivers side rear light which the Lights warning is linked to and re soldered all the joints in case there was a dry one! Any thought's would be much appreciated!

Hello Everyone, After 14 years I'll be back in the UK for 3 days.To attend a funeral:cry: I'll reach from Aruba on the 30th of November Just wondering if there is a Z shop Nearby, Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ArubaDave aka GZA

I HAVE JUST HAD MY FIRST RUN IN MY TT AND ALL SEEMS WELL EXCEPT I CANT LOWER THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR BELOW 5 BAR AND IT SEEMS DOWN ON POWER , THE CAR IS BOOSTING CLOSE TO 10PSI AND I CAN HEAR THEM BOOSTING BUT THE POWER IS JUST NOT THEIR , I ALSO THINK ITS JUST A STANDARD NISSAN ECU , IT WAS AN AUTO PREVIOUS WOULD THIS MAKE A DIFFERENCE ALL HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED:confused:

I know there are differences like the heated seats, directional climate control, the alcantara round the door and dash, dual electric seats but what else was upgraded on the Series II?

Just a quick one. Where have most plumed their oil pressure gauge into. I know you can get the plates that go between the filter and housing but are they any good?? Cheers All:bow:

Selling a set of clocks that are series 1 in the for sale section. Can these be fitted into a series 2 car is a question that has been raised? Cheers guys!

Hi my Hicas light is staying on and from post's on here it looks like first looks is the power steering fluid, had a look, it looked low. when i drove off the light stayed off, so my stiring made me think it is the reason. Now i only want to top it up a little , and i do have some automatic tramsmission fluid, so is this fluid okay for a top up? or am i looking for a false economy. rich

If someone has a Blitz SBC II D fitted on their Zed, would you mind sharing the settings, also any additional tips would be useful. Do you normally expect to see any smoke under harsh acceleration when these are first fitted? It's shocked me how much power this has unleashed and I don't really want to blow the engine up before I've had a chance to crash it lol!

Not mine, just stumbled across it on Ebay...maybe of interest to someone: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300ZX-Complete-Leather-Interior-for-SWB_W0QQitemZ390123265055QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item5ad5289c1f :)

Hi Guys, Does anyone know how to test a speedo sensor? My speedo takes its time to start working correctly ever since i changed the dust cluster to a UK one. Really starting to p*** me off now. I changed the battery as it seemed power related. I've had it out to look at the soldering. I can't work it out. Someone must have had this issue and fixed it!!!!!! Cheers

They were on a normal auction , guess for how much i won them for :dance::dance::dance::dance: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-ALLOY-WHEELS-NISSAN-300ZX-FAIRLADY-JAP-STYLE-5x114_W0QQitemZ400066343679QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET?hash=item5d25cff2ff

Got all the goodies today, many thanks:bow::bow: The interior bits are ideal, the seat covers are differnt to my new velour ones, but i prefer the alcantara look, more work:smash: Will get on with the dash its and try and get the indicator bits done together to send back Cheers Graham

:confused::confused:wipers will not go back to the bottom of the screen so it will only work on high speeds and will not go back to rest on bottom of winscreen

My driverside indicator today as started flashing very quickly, Pass side is fine anyone got any ideas??? Cheers Craig

12 afternoon show on dave, topgear. Doing a show of z's.

Hi Guys, Looking under the car yesterday and notice that there are 2 silver briaded wires coming from the cat box and that they've both been cut. Is this something other people have done and for what reason? or should I try reconnecting them? Also does anyone know how to test the speedo sensor at the gear box? Cheers Guys

Want to replace my standard speakers with something better but without hacking into the trim. What have people used & where's best to buy?

Per my Journal Thread http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=131868&referrerid=10662 I have posted all my stuff up on Retro Rides forum as its a great community there and the guys have given some interesting responses so i thought i would put a thread up so that people can give their thoughts on my Zed as you cant reply in the Journal Section unless you are the creator of the Thread :D So if you fancy a read through my Journal feel free and feel free to comment, judge, slate, praise whatever really :nana2::nana2::nana2: Munny

Hi, Does anyone know where I can pick these sort of vacuum line plugs up from? - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VACUUM-LINE-HOSE-PLUG-CAP-KIT-CARBY-HOLLEY-DEMON-DRAG_W0QQitemZ120496539884QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item1c0e2748ec

I'm replacing the oil in my diff. I'm going to buy 2 US QTs of Royal Purple Gear Max 75w90 gear oil. Is this the stuff I need? the diff is in very good condition and the old oil was clear/fine when I drained it. There are loads of threads on diff oil, but as it's expensive I'm just making sure I get the right stuff :D Cheers dave forgot to say its a jdm r200v without the oil cooler.

.....enough said... I have nothing against Skylines, I think they are fantastic machines and technically more advanced than the Z32.....BUT, they really don't look as nice compared to the Z32. I came across this and it reminded me why I chose the Z32 out of any of the other Japanese GT cars.

Usually there is a classified ad or 2 on the go for these but for some reason ebay has just been flooded (compared to the norm) with them - there are 8 advertised today http://motors.shop.ebay.co.uk/Cars-/9801/i.html?_nkw=300zx&_catref=1&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m282

Have a look at the following work of art, now if your head lights are working properly, do they look like the top or bottom configuration? Also, with the help of some more works of MS paint art. If i wire my head lights up like this i get the result of the top configuration. My high beam works fine and both headlights light up. Someone mentioned it was a earth problem, well thought id try some experimenting today with some cabling, this is what i did. first the problem when i use the original live on the drivers side to the bulb plus the original earth on the drivers side, i get a very dim main beam bulb with both high beam…
