It now lives here... Yes Air-Con has been deleted. :rofl: Before you laugh - it works out pretty well - I will just have to pump some sealent around where the cables enter/exit - just in case - but otherwise I tested blasting it with a high pressure washer and it remained dry inside. And I have drilled a new drain hole so that it does not become a spare washer bottle ;-)) Anyone else got any pics of where they moved their fuse box: I know a lot of you hide it under the chrome/carbon Smithy slam panel but.... ;)

Hi all i need some help to put in my delimit chip in cos zedworld did not send me the wiring diagram for it. If any one knows where i can see one on the net or tell me how many thanks

i know there are one or two people on here who have done this job - how easy or difficult was it to do? and where did you relocate it to? reason i ask is because my tyres are actually in contact with the damn thing when theyre pointing slightly to the right :eek:

When my car is turned off it says it has just under 1/2 tanks then when running it goes down to 1/4 tank then when car is turned off it goes back up which should i believe when i fill up from 1/4 when runnnig it takes around 50 quid.. i always go by the lower reading but which one is telling the truth?? cheers

My car is a JDM car, understand that CC on these tops out at 75. Now I have UK speedo clocks in mine, so should this de-restrict? Or do I need a UK cruise control ECU?

ok guys Clutch has started making a horrid noise when it is Pressed/ Engaged! Sounds as if its juddering like when your about to stall so a loud (can hear it in traffic with windows down) clicking i guess (will try and upload an Audio of it) Now the clutch still Engages/Dis-engages fine and good when changing gears so its not Master or Slave cylinder and if i apply a touch of pressure to the clutch pedal (not even 10% pressed) the noise starts and it also will 'click' faster if im in Neutral, clutch pressed and i touch the Accelerator pedal. So my 1st thought was its the Clutch Release bearing (Also called Thrust bearing IIRC) but im not sure. Cause of this is…

....in the glove box still in its wrapper.. cute.

This is all from Kyle Puckett in the US I am just in the process of confirming the order and hope to pay for it all next week :cry: I am just asking about putting a 96 Gearbox on and if his engines are OK with NOS... so that might also go on but if hes not keen on NOS I will leave it. Can you tell me is there anything missing I will need?? or anything you would change. Its exciting!!!

...whats the trick? :confused:

anyone heard of these are they any good seem very cheap http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-TURBO-FRONT-DRILLED-GROOVED-BRAKE-DISCS_W0QQitemZ390081933399QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item5ad2b1f057&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

My gearbox is fine selecting all gears at lower speeds. However when you go to select 5th on the motorway at over about 80 you can feel it grating as it goes in. The clutch is quite stiff and bytes quite near the floor and you have to push it all the way down to engage gears, if I were a betting man I would say that it is probably a pressure plate problem. Question is this, would you say that this sounds like clutch or do you think it is in fact the gear box?. Also how do you check and top up the gearbox oil on these cars? thanks :bow:

it belongs to a friend of a friend on facebook - at first glance i thought it was mine!!!! (at least from the small photo) - can anyone tell what it is - it may even be the same colour as mine, which would make it a mazda. identities have been removed to protect the innocent...

i noticed this cut wire while i was under the car - looks like it something to do with the horn but the horn works ok :confused: i noticed those wires hanging down when i was at CenterGravity the other week, and used a platic tie to pull them back out of the way - im sure the wire in the photo wasn't cut/loose at the time though... any ideas anyone? this is nearside btw...

...continuing with my interior retrim after having done the rear seats last week, i removed the passenger seat today and will hopefully make a start at re-doing that over the weekend. found some cool 7-year-old Jap drugs on the floor once i'd removed the seat - i wonder whether its just paracetomol or some quality £1m smack...

after being received from ChrisD :) i replaced my rotten old windscreen and targa trim with new ones (after saying in another thread how i'd rather use that spray-on black stuff instead of replacing it all, lol!) - pleasantly surprised how soft the new stuff is compared to the hardened crap you get from 20 years of weather. old crap: new bitz: looks so much better now (i spent ages trying to get the fit right and im still not quite happy with it :( ) its just the rubber around the windscreen, and around the side windows that lets it down now!

first job was to find the cause of losing coolant over a period of time - just when i thought my running temp had been sorted once and for all, i was sat in traffic about 5 mins into my journey home on thursday, and the a/market temp needle just shot up from 70C to about 110!! :shock: needless to say i got my priorities right and in this order: i) shat, ii) found an escape route out of the traffic and into fosse retail park. gladly i noticed the needle drop back to normal temp as i moved, so after kerb crawling for a moment, i took my chances and carried on with the drive back home. no real probs as even when sat at lights it only crept up to about half way (90ish C). the…

Finally put the car for MOT. the engine was last used properly December 08. ive taken the car out once for a 40 minute drive since. heres the emissions results..... how can i resolve this? o2 sensors are gone? or isit the fact that its been off the road for ages, and had a few boost leaks since back together (smoked, but now are all sorted) and just needs a good hard drive to clean itself?

just got back from our hols at the isle of white stayed at whiecliff bay and had a great time ,didnt see any zeds on the way down but guess what lived at the bottom of the campsite entrance :bow:

Hi folks ive got myself a type 1 HKS turbo timer and just wanted to confirm what wires i need to link into in the dash. Ive had a look at the wiring diagrams and for the turbo timer i need RPM signal, Speed signal, Parking brake switch. On page 65 in the manual in the electrical section i think the wires i need are 22, 16 and 2 can anyone confirm this that has fitted these before. I have the Z32 harness from HKS so the power wires arent a problem Cheers http://www.300zx-twinturbo.com/cgi-bin/manual.cgi Marty

Just Now replaced the pcv s and the five pipes associated with them, They were fiddly even with the engine out,Im so glad i didnt wait tell engine was in it would have been impossible! Anyway done now.:hyper::hyper:

Hi all, I've got a problem with my wipers. When i put the wipers to intermittent, they wipe once and thats it. Switch them off and they wipe again as they should but the intermittent wipe doesn't work. Any ideas?

As above is there any diffrence between a tt and a n/a radiator?
