found these on the Us site, and a can warrant spending out on them at the mo but I thought they might interest someone?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280392723480&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Or for those that missed out on the centre panel http://cgi.ebay.com/90-96-Nissan-300zx-Center-Tail-Light-INDIGLO_W0QQitemZ120469010573QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item1c0c83388d&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Hi all, Over the past week I've noticed that when I am at full throttle and approach full boost (14psi) at around 3-4k revs the engine suddenly revs high quickly but I don't go anywhere as though my clutch is slipping very badly. I've had suspect thrust bearings since I bought the car and was wondering if it could be some other clutch-related issue, or I should just start crying now at the thought of paying out £520 for a new clutch :cry: Cheers, Brian

Found these on the U.S ebay and thought I'd get you views on them, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270444944903&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250484903430&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230339231350&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Where can you buy a workshop manual for a 92 zed TT? I was after one of the Haynes ones but can only seem to find the ones for the older model.

As per the title really. I need to clean the Throttle Bodies, but can't get the damned hoses off...any suggestions please chaps?

THINING OF BUYING A 300ZX TWIN TURBO......:dance: WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR ANY ADVICE.......?:D

I was disappointed that there were know stand/stall what ever you like to call it selling just run off the mill spare parts for cars. and not meny food stand's .£25.00 each is a lot to show your car. I did American car shows for year's and you could aways pick parts up at them . not just crome and stickers and after market kit's. Or is im just geting old

Had this zed nearly a year now just looked at the clock pics I took just after I had it and covered less than 2000km/1200miles :( I love this car it's loads better than my pearl one but just not getting any use out of it. Not really thinking of selling but seems a bit pointless spending out on tax, insurance, fancy stuff etc and driving round in a shagged out escort that I do 15,000 a year in struggling it's poor little balls off. what sort of miles are others putting on these cars mines seems more of an expensive ornament than a car:o

Green Army gang here! Wicked weekend, thanks for putting up with us all, oh and lastly well done THE BEAST, car of the show JAE 2009!:D Pics to follow!

As we all know Z32 standard brakes suck, in my opinion they are the weakest link in the performance of a Z32, so the question is, Has anybody fitted the big Range Rover Brembo Calipers and discs to a Z32 ? Also what about the Brembo 8 pot calipers that have become so affordable of late ? Failing any of the above what are the largest Brake discs readily available and for sensible money that can fit a Z32 ?

would be worth joining the site for this, looks like it has some nice bits on it http://www.copart.co.uk/c2/specialSearch.html?_eventId=getLot&execution=e3s31&lotId=15712099

...after having the kit knocking about for 18 months or so :smash: I thought it's now time to get cracking! I got the rears done in about 2 1/2 hours - I was surprised at how straight-forward the job was. i think the trickiest part was trying to get those damn plastic ties to thread back around the frame of the seat. after the tenth one i worked out that if i pushed one finger down one side, then tried to slide the tie from the other side up my nail then it did the job (i think the ties i bought were a little too small to work with, but patience payed off in the end) i also have blue trim to replace all the tweed cards etc. but i think it may be too light (its l…

As this is weekend is probably the last nice one we`ll have this year I thought Ide polish the Z and take a few pics, open to suggestions and comments :-)

Firstly although mentioned elsewhere I would like say a very big THANK YOU and WELL DONE for those involved in the organisation of what I and many others consider the best meet for a long time. Also I would like to thanks the members who where able to attend and for the warm welcome shown to myself, Jamie and my brother Alan, it felt like a real meaningful event that I hope will continue to hold the 300zx forum together and of course maintain its title of the biggest and best 300zx forum in the UK. Also it cannot go unmentioned that you guys voted me for two awards that was unexpected but never the less very welcome and I thank you all who was involved with tha…

I went to Modified Madness at Thorney Island (just around the corner from me:)) at the weekend to get some runs in with the Zed and my bike down the quarter mile strip. Had an absolutely wicked time and I was the only one flying the flag for the Zed brigade. Had some traction issues (surprising I know) off the line as it's just a disused runway on an army base but as the weekend went on more rubber was laid and my launches got better. I did 5 runs in the zed starting with a 14.223 @ 108.6 mph and my last run was a 13.470 @ 110.0 mph:hyper:. Very happy with the result as it was my 1st time on the strip and it wasn't a proper one. Might have to do a trip to the pod at some …

Hey everyone I just got a good deal on a zed which needs some work and am thinking about taking it to zedworld. Has anyone had them do an engine or turbo swap? If so what were your prices and how do you feel about the quality of the work? Also do we get a club discount? Thanks.

Hi lads, could someone tell me please, the lead going to the ecu from the knock sensor, Is it green with a black stripe and black with a red stripe? :headvswal

Hi Guys, a quick question Any ideas how easy it is to fit tein monoflex suspension all round. i have just ordered this with EDFC. I have done a lot of mods on my own. Guessing i will need spring clamps to hold spring in compression for when you unbolt, the original bits and remove, then bolt in a pre-assemble Tein coilover and bolt up. it might come with complete instructions?? How do you know how far to bolt everything up? Was planning on fitting stillen anti roll bars & tension rods, adjustable suspension and AP Big brakes at the same time!! Or would you recommend getting this done at a garage? Any help appreciated? Regards Kev

So it seems like Jeff and co were kept busy with conzulting loads of Zeds at JAE, thing is who's seriously needed tinkering with and then went hope feeling very happy and who's was bob on that didn't need his magic touch :) Just curious, as generally so many are throttle body inbalance's and timing, which can make big differences... cheers smithy

got some serious tyre wear on the inside of my front tyres, wheels wobble when braking also question is i have fitted some energy suspention bushes in the tension rods maybe 8 years ago will these have worn out causing the wobble?? standard suspension with 18's have done a search found that the old suspention may have sagged and camber will need correcting, i will need to check iirc bottom arm bush king pin top link track rod end car will need to be checked for alignment toe in out ect anyone else have an idea what to check

I always thought the zeds steering was way to light for a sport gt car, so i had a go and disconnected the hicas ecu and its now alot heavier which i like, I can feel alot more of the road and what the cars doing. :D I was always told the steering might become even lighter with it disconnected...nope. Im thinking about re connecting the ecu BUT looping a switch to the power wire so i can have it both ways light or heavy, light for parking and city driving and heavy for cornering. Whos with me? :D Those of you with hicas bypassed and are fed up with the hicas light on constantly... well its now off too :D added bonus for me.

Hi, My ZED has been cleansed of all unwanted tosh and the vacuum lines are simplified as per the drawing below BUT... with the addition of the Boost Sensor still being connected to the balance bar - which is NOT shown in the drawing below! Is this an error in the drawing - or because I have an AUTO?? :o

Which one of the above would be better for me? I have a NA with 98,000 miles. I'm avoiding anything fully-synthetic as it's probably too thin for an old engine and not sure if it will give any advantages.

My cigar lighter socket is not working, and on the assumption (hope!) that a fuse was blown, tried looking for it but can't find it. Found the ones for the lights etc. but not one that is obviously for this. Does anyone know where it is located? I am of course assuming that there is a fuse for the cigar lighter.

I've been working on the zed and I noticed the battery has been going flat while its not been used. Did a check (ammeter in line with battery +ve) and when ignition is off its still drawing about 0.18A. Is this normal??? Rich
