Morning all. I've already posted this elsewhere and had a couple of answers, but thought I'd pick your brains as well (I'm not great with electronics!) So since putting my Z in for its MOT its developed the usual heavy steering at low speed/intermittent speedo drop out fault. My first thought was speed sensor as it's a fault I've had on my previous Z. I decided to investigate further by hooking up to ConZult (cheers BigH) and conduct a HICAS diagnostic (can't do an Engine diagnostic via Conzult as I'm on a Haltech). This is a shot of what it was displaying. Diagnostics was done with the vehicle stationary and idling with the front wheels pointing straight …

read up to use the dexron atf fluid is this still the best stuff to use ? cheers

I've read over multiple respray posts on here and other sites but have a few questions too. So I'm aware that cellulose paint is very frowned upon due to its lack of UV resistance, and am aware of the cyanide fumes from 2K paint. I'll be respraying my Z in a strong gazebo on warm evenings over the next month or so using a HVLP paint gun, and a 50L 8 bar compressor. I have time so I'm fine with say, one coat a night or less. Cellulose: Cheap, moderately easy to work with, but not great for a whole car and doesn't last very long if done incorrectly 2K: Expensive, easier to work with, great finish, lasts a long time, but huge issue with the fumes, especially…

I don't suppose anyone is ordering from CZP anytime soon by any chance? I'd like to tag a small and lightweight item on if possible. Regards, Joel.

I have just purchased my first 300, the car has a very loud single pipe at present and I am looking to replace it with a more subtle sounding twin pipe cat-back system. Do any of the exhaust manufacturers do an 'off the shelf' decent system or does it have to be custom made, if so, can anybody recommend anybody in my area (S.Wales).

So I have been looking at getting my Momo wheel on this evening. I have just deleted my Hicas, and was told that I could fit a non hicas boss to my steering column. However the HKB boss looks like this And won't fit due to the brass ring being in the way. Is there anything I can do to adapt my current boss? Or do I need to order a new Hicas boss to fit the current setup? Thanks guys

pool of glue like crap on the garage floor this morning coming from the passenger side Front Tension Rod so need replacement bushes. found these just looking for recommmendation really and cheaper if possible https://h-tune.co.uk/hardrace-tension-castor-rod-bush-hardened-rubber-nissan-silvia-s13-s14-s15-300zx-skyline-r32-r33-r34/

http://www.caranddriver.com/flipbook/my-fair-lady-a-visual-history-of-the-nissan-z-car?src=socialflowFB&mag=cdb&dom=fb I know which Z I would want. :)

I'm sure most of you have seen this on ebay for sale and imo it looks in good condition and reads well. Its not a sought after oem Z but good condition kitted cars will become very rare and sought after also. These bad boys are part of the Nissan 300zx Jap heritage so don't dismiss it...Love it. :) It looks familiar to me was it a members car here at one time? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/nissan-300zx-twin-turbo-/292132650941?hash=item4404767fbd:g:-~wAAOSww5hZKx5M

Hi all. JeffTT hope you don't mind me using your picture. I'm after the pin out of the circled plug on the foot well fuse box. I have sorted the fan blower and found a diaode soldered into one of the wires. that goes of to my alarm system. just trying to work out what it has been spliced in for. Thanks Nathan https://www.dropbox.com/s/95qr3wtopudsnx2/3.jpg?dl=0

I've had the car for it's 1st MOT in 3 years and it failed on the rear fog light not working and have spent days trying to figure it out. I have tested the relay and it works fine. Fuse is fine as is the bulb Switch is fine, and linked out the 2 pins on the circuit board to make 100% sure I get power to the fuse and relay, so guessing the switch completes the ground circuit rather than supplies power? Now if I ground pin 1 on the relay the fog light comes on, should that be correct? Also if remove the relay and I link pins 1 & 2 then 3 & 5 then put 12v to pin 1 it also turns on the fog light? Under both circumstances the switch doesn't…

So my paint job has again reacted as soon as it got hotter, again. Crazing/cracking...the only option is to strip to metal an try again, for which I no longer have facilities. That's not the issue though. As mentioned before I have a running problem, I've pulled codes 34 (knock sensor) and 12, MAF (but that should be because I had it disconnected). Even if there is a knock sensor issue, would this cause the engine to stumble and stall? The car runs great until I connect the confirmed 'good' MAF. So this suggests pump, injectors and coils are fine. Maybe an air leak then... The engine used to run fine 5 years ago, and so can't be a major issue, gunk ma…

Or infact any big brake conversion For those of you that have made the change to Brembos or other big brake conversions, how did you find the following was effected? 1) Pedal modulation (so how much pedal travel from very light braking to 100% brakes) 2) abs engagement under heavy braking (kicks in earlier or later) Any feedback would be appreciated - - - Updated - - - Oh, since I can't edit, how different did you find in it comparison to stock brakes

Aftermarket high quality performance part for our Z32s soon to be NLA. http://twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2618136/PSA-Mike-Smith-is-Dis-Continuing-his-MSP-manifolds.html If you are planning on buying a set best do it now...

Saw this ont tele, anyone on here?

Ok, so I brinjibg "it" out of hibernation because it looks like the sun might be about for a full week. I've been preparing everything for a plenum pull, egr delete and injector change for a few months and expected a couple of days messing about with it all as I planned on cleaning up some dodgy vacuum lines and painting a few bits as I went. Started Thursday evening, plenum off, EGR out and the two hardliners to the plenum removed. Just the EGR to manifold feed pipe to remove. Well, it's now Saturday evening, I'm about £50 lighter in my pocket due too buying extra tools. I have three knuckles left that still look relatively normal. I've possibly broke my thumb and t…

Hi every one I'm new to this and I'm just trying to find if is any localish z owners and if they doing some times meet ups for chat etc I'm in Banbury Oxfordshire :) Thanks

Hi. I'm new to the forum, but doing a full restoration of a 93 Z32. Which had had some front end damage, where someone in a pick up smacked into it with bull bars. Off side head light was smashed. Headlight mounting plate was bent, off side wing bent and front bumper smashed. All that has been fixed, except the nuts and bolts that fix the bumper to the front wings. Does anyone know the size and thread pitch of these? I did post in the general section by mistake, so posting a new thread here in case anyone missed it Thanks in advance, Ash

Please can anyone confirm the size of piping I need for the two hard pipes that supply fluid to the steering rack? I like to believe it's 3/16 but to me it seems bigger. Thanks

I don't suppose anyone knows the minimum width of garage needed to fit the zed in and still be able to get out?

hi guys just changed my short shifter for a gem shifter, however the short shifter had a different lower bush it was on pin bearings with a metal collar inside, this meant the sleeve was slightly smaller than the poem sleeve. just need to double check is this the right sleeve? https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-nissan-oem-300zx-collar-shifter-bushing-z32-34556-30p10_p_9864.php

Ok while doing some totally boring skirting board painting late last night this song came on the radio..... by the end of it I was laughing. Famous song by Billy Joel and heard it many times but not in the same way, listen to it on the link and read the verse I think the guy had a Z and wrote the song about it !! .... enjoy https://youtu.be/zkfkJCyqCBc Jeff

So I recently purchased my first Z. She's a 1990 Auto TT. The other day I noticed some smoke coming from the back of the engine bay, next to the gearbox fluid dipstick. I'm assuming that there is oil leaking from somewhere and is dripping onto the exhaust however I'm not 100%. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this before or knows what the issue might be? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm very new to the Z's. Thanks.

Just a quick post to say thanks to Lee Dent for sorting out my slight running issue, my car runs perfectly now.:thumbup1:

got a very strange issue with my passenger lock, the internal lock seems to have jammed in the open position, as soon as i remove the door card it works. so best guess it's catching on the doocard somewhere is there any adjustment on the interior handle? it has been fine this has started since i fitted series 2 door cards.
