Tonight I planned on taking out the washer bottle and motor and giving them a good clean/overhaul as there seems to be a lot of stuff clogging up the washer jets. Was planning on following this (http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=69450) guide but am stuck at the first bloody hurdle... getting the wheel off!!! The locking nuts are refusing to undo (This is the first car I've had with locking wheel nuts; you just put the 'key' on and undo them like a normal nut, right?). Anyone got any tips for undoing them, as they're stuck so tight I even managed to bend the wrench! I'm gonna hope that this isn't a case of me just being a retard, resulti…

can someone help please?

Ok i've searched high and low on here and other 300zx forums for a cure to the Aircon heater blowers not working... Some diagrams which i assume are from either an early 300ZX with manual aircon show 3 or more relays just to control the blower.. Investigate on My UK Z using the online technical manual and guess wot?! No relays where they say there should be 3! Fact is most of us are Right hand drive and have the Auto Aircon set up... Turned out I had a sticky relay which stoped the blower operation all together... You could here the actuators move the direction of what would be the air when pressing the temp up or down buttons but no power to the blower itself... …

Just wondering, if i drop the rear rear subrame off, (looking to replace the subframe bushes) Will i need a jig or anything to position it back correctly? I've spoken with a few people who said they'd need to jig their cars if they dropped the subframe and i just wondered if it's the same thing with ours.

Sorry for the above spelling I do really know that Panels is spelt like this... Where is the best place to buy rear quarter pannels from?. I am having the car resprayed inside and out with a really pearly white and its an expensive job so at the same time I want to replace the rear quarters. Any ideas?

Does anyonw know of or seen the car before? Seems a little expensive, but looks very clean. any opinions and thoughts welcome.

Anyone know where my / tizer's red zed is? Bloke who bought it from me is a member on here but can't remember his user name. I'd get it from my PM's but oh wait I can't access them! lol :headvswal Began with G lol Hows my car doing mate?! :smash:

I was pulled up in a road block by the police on Saturday night and they stated my number plates were illegal FFS. I was only cautioned and told to replace them or the wrath of god would decend on my unworthy head .Well not really but you get my drift lol. I was given a form which states all the legal requirements.See attached pic.Now this is my query, okay the fonts are wrong on mine (ish) But according to the form,if car is pre 2001 the plate size and letter size don't come into force before that date. So are my plates illegal ?

Right, after everything that has happened with craigTT's car, and the offers that have been placed on the table, i propose a solution. Once i have my car back on the road, and its taxed and MOT'ed, so i can park it up and get my garage free. Id like to build CraigTT his Twin Turbo. if the offers still stand, we have so far 1 rolling shell. a block and head, i have engine parts as well. and if Craig is up for it, any of the parts we can salvage off his motor. And any other parts the community would like to donate to the cause. id do all the work, unless someone else wants to come and help out, i really dont mind, and once its all done, it can go to JeffTT…

Got the zed out for its first run after engine rebuild,3 tours of the car park and bang! the gearbox disintegrated :mad: :headvswal time for a manual conversion me thinks. gutted.

Any help appreciated! :wack:

I know, I know.... use the search and read up on it... Well i have a slightly different issue, (i hope) as we've had some pretty persistent rain over the last few days, i have been getting some water in the cockpit in the morning/evening when i use the car. The water is actually coming out of my Boost after market gauge hole on my A pillar, After investigation it seems the water is collecting at the rear of the moulded shape for the gauge and as i drive forward or go up a hill, it spills forward, and all over my knee. It has finally killed the new digital boost gauge this morning so i'm not to happy.. Now my question is, if i had a std pillar, the water wo…
