Hey! I just laid up my Z for winter (shes a bit too sideways in the wet with my daughter in the baby seat beside me) so using the safe ol' dependable Skoda Octy! I followed a couple of Blue R33 Skylines the other day into a yard called Abbey Motorsport in my Z; just around the corner from me that I didn't know was there! Has anyone used them and are they any good? I want to replace the passenger front wheel bearing and I think the o/s manifold gasket is starting to free itself (can hear it when cold) I am looking for 2x 8.5j rear t/turbo wheels that they dont have laying around too. They had various HKS 350Zs and Skyline R32/33/34 laying around and a few Scoob…

Well just had my windscreen replaced after a big lorry threw up a rock onto it,got to say thank god for fullycomp,only cost £50 ex just wanted to no how much would it cost for a windscreen for our cars???

Was looking through gumtree for a Zed and found one for sale, seems like it has 300zx.co.uk stickers on the windows. Owner still on here? Or does anyone have any info from the past of the car? http://www.gumtree.com/london/13/49503113.html Thanks André :)

Since i swapped my speedo cluster and had the ecu upgraded, I had a couple of weeks enjoying her and then all of a sudden the last few days i've had a few problems with my Zed :( 1) The speedo works fine most of the time, but sometimes the needle indicating speed does not work or suddenly drops down to zero and then flicks back up when it was working. All the other needles seem to work fine. 2) Every now and then the steering feels heavy (i think this has only happened when the speedo is not working) then the HICAS light comes on and stays on. If i switch the engine off then start her up again - it often feels fine again, and the light does not re appear. …

Hi, Does anybody know a good Suspension/Wheel alignment place in the South. Im right on the coast near Portsmouth. Friend of mine has just got his first Zed and id say the car has been worked on/repaired before? Pulls badly left. He wants to get the car checked out and setup. I remember a place at slough mentioned in Jap Performance/Banzai once that looked the busines but he didnt want to go all that way unless he had to. Any advice would be great. Cheers

Saw you leaving the paddock yesterday afternoon, a friend of mine had told me there was a zed kicking about but I didnt see it until you left. Sounded well and looked clean!

Almost finished my engine and have was given a few meters of very good coolant hose but not silicon. Will this matter on the coolant side. Oh my car is almost stock no big mods.

Hi guys and girls, after only about 4 days of not running the car the battery dies, even the alarm light does not work its that dead, apparantly the battery is quite new, I charged it for 24 hours and it was fine, but after a few days it was dead again, the battery does hold its charge once ive taken it for a spin so I dont think its the alternator, could it just be that the battery is useless now as its run flat a few times? Thanks Leigh

hi, i've just decided to keep my z32 but fix it up, got a set of yellow stuff pads all round going in soon and new vented disks, but at the mo my Z's hand brake is hardly working, its tightened to max and is stupidly high, thank god for the park setting on the gearbox...lol its a 2+2 import TT the 2 +2 does the hand brake come off the caliper or have a separate drum? and is it just a case of a new cable or is there more too it? the back axles getting stripped anyway to lock out the hicas and fit the new brakes so want to fix this at the same time. sorry for the stupid question but i have the manual but cant seem to get a definitive answer...

Finally got the chance to take the car for a proper test drive today as had to get the new tires on the rear..... Im still shaking lol, its frigging scary to drive, even for a N/A the acceleration is jaw dropping, after parking it up i got out a nervous wreck lol. I LOVE MY 300 :D

like does the dump valve have to be made specifically for a 300zx or is a dump valve a universal thing?

Hello everyone :P Im just curious what the oil pressure should be on a jap tt model. My car has the kg/cm3 gauge. Thanks in advance.

Just spotted this on the japanese auctions :) Stunning car, dont like the doors but i really like the rest in an extreme kind of way ;) Mike

if i pull the old cats off and fit decats is there and lamda sensors to worry about, or what about the heat wires that go to under the seats? nothing is easy is it lol

Hi guys, i got a knackered hicas system, the tie rod joins have play in, if it was cheap enough i would have just put the full kit on from driftworks but that works out over 200quid, you can get just the lock out bar for 80 but thats not the problem on mine cos i would have to fit my knackered tie rods, and a new set of tie rods to get the hicas working properly would be about 130. i know owning a car like these are never cheap like everyone else mine has made me skint, but, i can not justify it this time so heres the mission, to make an entire lock out kit and then join the two pipes together to eliminate the hicas. how would you fabricate one, it would have to have to b…

I've had differend opinions from "they're fine" to "front and rear must be replaced very soon". Any ideas? There's a tiny lip on the front discs and an even smaller one on the back discs (barely there tbh). Front: Rear:

Hi can any of you wheel lovers out there tell me if this offset would fit or look anygood. Fronts 225/40/18 offset 44 Rears 265/40/18 offset 30 Cheers Dan

ive already asked this (a couple of years ago i think!) but is my battery positive or negative earth?

Once the car is running well and the live mapping is done I'm going to do some track days but I am concerned about oil starvation. It seems a dry sump system will be £1-1.5k+ which is out of budget so I've found this http://www.thinkauto.com/accumulators.htm Had a chat with them and seems a good system to prevent oil starvation, going to get one so will keep you updated on how it goes.
