Hi all, this is my first post, registered yesterday an been doing a lot of reading. Right I've just bought a 300zx 2+2 off flea bay, and need some advice on it already lol, It needs to be taken for a MOT at some point, soon as Ive sorted out what appears to be a sticking valve or noisy tappets, it drives but if you give it too much throttle to soon, it sputters. the listing stated it had the wrong oil put in and needs an engine flush / oil & filter change to sort this out. Its had twin stainless steel exhausts put on that are decatted, as i need to take it for its MOT, its also got an induction kit on it, I'm not sure if I'm going to need to put some …

I've just acquired a Blitz SBC i-D II BC sans fitting instructions and wondered if there are any diagrams etc to assist with the installation? I know there is a guide for the greddy profec but it looks a bit dis-jointed and unclear as to the procedure. Any help is welcomed :-)

Hi all, I ordered a set of goodridge braided brake hoses that arrived in super quick time. When i tried to fit the hoses they were completely wrong for the car. They had no fixing points to fix them to the front strut which made them totally useless for the job. I decided to phone goodridge uk and was told by them to return the new and original hoses to them so that they could make them up to the right spec which have now arrived and are identical to the original hoses. I was just wondering if anyone else on the forum has come across this as goodridge now have a new part number for the correct hoses (ZZMB-01) …

My uncle has lent me a recovery Transit which has the bars on the back which raise two wheels off the ground. this option worked out really damn cheap for me and so will be using it to take 300zx to zedworld. as it is a rwd do i need to raise the rear instead or the front? last but not least if the Rear needs to be raised my ground clearance on the front bumper seems scary.... is it easy to remove front bumper? Thanks again team!

Hi guys, There was a tent left at JAE, anyone know who's it is??? Was in a fly saucer like carrying case

Is it ok to clean my brake callipers in my parts washer, using a 50/50 mix of paraffin and engine degreaser? I've tried using a brake cleaning spray but it's not getting it all off. I've got the nissan seal kit, so will be replacing all the seals. Just in case it matters.

hello everyone could someone tell me the best place to get cheep insurance and if you had a phone number for them it would be grate thanks :confused:

Hi guys, just a quick question for some of you that are in the know.... Do KYB make a suspension kit that is only rear adjustable? Only reason i ask is that i've been offered a KYB suspension kit but the guy said he cant see any adjuster on the front shocks...so i'm guessing this isn't the AGX kit? Any help on this would be great... CheerZ, Sean.

Hello chaps, Just got my car back from having a major service. Drove for about 25 miles and pulled over to check evrything was ok. I noticed some minor wisps of steam coming from the back of the engine (around the windscreen wiper area). I was quite wary because I have previously had a split hose in a previous Zed after a service (though i couldnt see one here). I kept a close eye on the temperature gauge and finished my journey (another 25 miles) checking a couple of times again on the way. I didnt see any more steam and this morning on checking the radiator water level I dont seem to have lost any water. Is this something that needs further investiga…

Pleased as punch to announce my zed is back on the road after nearly 2 years off. Small rusting bits at the bottom rear of each sill turned out to mean a lot of metal and rust needed cutting out and inner sills, inner inner bit and the part of the heavy bit of floorpan needed doing one both sides. The place I use for MOTs is pretty thorough so I expected a fail on brake pipes and other stuff but no it was a pass with a few advisories on slight rust on some rear brake pipes and superficial rust near seat belt anchorages. I dread having to drop the rear subframe but I can see some pipes still have the green paint on them whereas others have started to rust a little. …

I was helping a friend replace his vacuum lines today (JAP TT) and we found some strange stuff lol. The solenoids on either side above the actuators that have three vacuum lines in each - are any of those lines meant to have restrictors in them!!! This is the Passenger side... :smash:

I have got 2 faulty driveshafts from Concept Z. Basically they are both 2" too short. I paid for them to be posted here and i will be sending them back for a refund and will get the postage for the second ones delivery to the UK refunded. However, it looks like i will have to pay the reurn postage. Do you think this is correct for being sent items that are incorrect? Should i pay the return postage or should Coz? It will be about £75 to ship them back. What do you guys think?

does anyone know of an aggresive chip for a 1989 Z32 NA with a manual conversion? need to increase torque

My Z has just been delivered to Thor to have the AEM bits and bobs fitted and mapped. It has spent last week in Manchester at Phils getting the OS Giken gearbox and propshaft fitted (Top job again by the big man!) and Securicar Paul worked late last night to fit the new alarm system. :bow: Asked Thor to keep me informed next week as to how it is all going and if any other parts will be required during the mapping.

Hi I've installed a glow dial kit in the dash from performance dials, you can just see them below, however the instructions tell me to wire up the live wire from the switch unit to the supply to the dash lights, can anyone who has done this tell me exactly where i splice the live wire into? Man thanks Ric

Hi In my previous car, an MR2 n/a, i installed a car pc, however that car is no more and i am now driving a TT zed, i'm slowly warming to it after 3 years in the 2, and have decided to install a car pc in it as well, now the carpc in the MR2 is up for sale as a complete ready made install, so i cant use any of the components. That means it a build from scratch project and the first thing is to buy some gear. Here are some Pics of the PC and the Screen.
