Chaps Hoping you can help/advise. When I turn my side lights on without the key in the ignition, the sidelight come on fine. However, when I turn the ignition on or start the car and then turn the side lights on the n/s headlight comes on as well with the sidelights. When I put the headlights on then the o/s headlight comes on. I initially thought it may be an earth issue but don't think it can be as if it was then the issue would be there all the time regardless of having the key in the ignition. The car has an after market hid kit fitted and I have tried a normal bulb to see if this would solve the issue but the problem is still there. Any help appreciated…

Trying to track down the part number for the starter relay. So far I've got 2523089981 which I think is for the automatic and I believe the two are different. Does anyone know the part number for the manual one by any chance?

Hi Gents, My 300zx has been playing up over the last few weeks. I have tracked it down to an ECU fault, it is quite well documented on twinturbo.net Basically the car will be driving (under any conditions) and it will cut out, CEL light comes on and aux fan comes on, Can't pull any codes as the light is on solid . If I disconnect the ECU and reconnect it the issue goes away for a day or two then comes back. The car had a new loom a few years ago and all the wiring looks to be in good nick apart from wire off the ecu which is held together with one of the blue plastic crimp clips. The car was mapped by Noz a few years ago so I believe the ECU chip to…

so i've had the aircon doctor out today to look at the zed, it turns out my aircon has leaked and is now not working, anyway the guy did a leak test and found the condenser to be the problem, how does the the thing come off? does it come out through the nose cone or is it radiator removal and out that way? the other question as these are only available from the U.S. does anyone have the dimensions of the condenser? as the aircon guy said he could get a matching part cheaper than nissan.

Hello was wondering if someone can help me my fuel pump isn't priming at all. I have put 12v to the pump it works so then tried it at the fuel module that works also got to relay switch in the drivers side kick panel and the relay isn't clicking I have put 12v to this via a power probe tester it clicks and car starts and runs perfectly. I have removed my aftermarket alarm just as a precaution just in case it was the immobolizer still no prime. I'm not good with electrics so any help will be much appreciated thanks to all in advance.

Anyone have experience of these all rubber bushes? Or should I stick to the Whitelines from Z1? or maybe even a better option out there..? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hardrace-Rear-Subframe-Bush-Hardened-Rubber-Nissan-Silvia-S13-S14-S15-300ZX-/222493021576?epid=827016466&hash=item33cd9e1588:g:D9YAAOSw-3FZBnyf Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

Hi, had some weird noises from rear wheel. Took disc off and bits of metal fell out. Looks like one of the spring clips that holds the shoes steady has disintegrated. kimd of hard to explain but there's one per shoe, it looks like it holds the shoe against the hub. It's a pin about 1 inch long with a slot for a flathead screwdriver on top and a spring around the outside. Anyone know where I can get a replacement? Cheers

My Zed arrived off the boat from Japan with a mysterious black box in the drivers footwell. Turns out it's a turbo timer, which is something I'll never use as I always idle for a minute or two before turning off and there's no way I'd leave the car unattended with the engine on. I got a Thatcham immobiliser fitted on import so I don't even know if it can work as the fuel pump should be cut out when that engages. Is there an easy way to remove the thing? I haven't investigated all the wiring behind it so I have no idea what it connects to. Thanks

What on earth is happening in the car scene of late, ricers everywhere youtube , facebook you name it, all showing their latest drift skill and stick on bits from Halfords !! But there is a worrying development and that is z32 seem fail play now, no more messing with Honda Civics and Scoobies lets get a zed and crucify it with stick on gash products and lairy paint work whilst doing nothing decent like cambelt or oil change. There is as serious conversation right now on facebook about how to get the longest flames out of their 300zx exhaust, drilling the back box and fitting a spark plug wired to fire up the overun /unburnt fuel ?? WTH hell is wrong wi…

Hi are SWB and LWB standard bonnets the same size? Will a stock LWB bonnet fit a stock SWB? Easy answer for someone.

Anyone with the following parts please let me know. Non turbo engine ( good running order ) Left hand wing in AH3 a bonus Air flow meter Hazard switch Thanks Jeff

Hello everyone, been a bit absent from the forum for quite some time now. Life's been a bit tough since last year and trying to restore some normality. My Z hasn't moved since probably November? But I'm working through a list of jobs and want it to be ready to bring to Coventry! Hope everyone is well. Looking forward to a catch up with the forum and members! :)

I have installed hub-centric bolt on wheel spacers and need to roll the rear arches slightly.....is there anyone relatively close to London SE9 who can help?! :helpsmilie:

Can anyone know where I can get Tie rod ends? My rubber boots are gone & cannot source just the boot rubber! The boot covers have a metal ring that fits over a metal lip so ordinary boot covers dont fit. Thans for any help.

I need some hoses to attach the auto oil cooler hard lines to the rad. Seems the OEM hoses are unavailable now, is there a reason I can't use generic oil hose for this? Something like this https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p/rubber-oil-hose-10mm-3-8-inch-inside-diameter-per-1-2-metre-m-rh-6 Does anyone know what size I need? I don't have access to the car during the week at the moment so can't check.

is it normal for the radiator fan to to sound like a bus? only dose it in hot weather so assuming its just the viscous locking up second would be, while cleaning leaves and other rubbish out of my air box i noticed how hot the wires for the fan had become, enough to be almost uncomfortable to hold and discolored the connector. worth taking it apart for a clean? many thanks Jay

hi guys looking for advice, i'm looking for an exhaust to go on the zed but not sure what to go for, it will be stainless still obviously but i currently have a powerflow system, 2.5" all the way through including front pipes, no x/h pipe and 2 rear silencers only anyway the result is it's bloody loud! it only really gets quiet above 60mph i'm looking for something a little more subtle/ closer to stock bearing in mind i the car is mapped (originally in japan) and i'm running an apexi cone filter apart from that everything else is stock i know nothing about exhausts so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction, and i forgot to mention it's a 1991 t/t
