http://www.nextautos.com/driven-2010-nissan-370z-roadster?gid=15769&nid=41299 A nice update on the 2010 roadster, not as good looking as the coupe imo but still a lovely convertible, what do you think?

Whats every one running in their cars?? Im setting up 2 X 10" woofers in the rear. But what else are others running. I want a balanced sound. I have a set of 6x9 at the rear already but they are coming out for the woofer set up. Do i do separate components for mid etc....and what do i put in the doors.I know its been asked before but i can't seem to get a good idea of whats best. Cheers all!!!:bow:

After a short journey home tonight, about 10 miles and only a maximum of 6000rpm on two occasions on low boost, I noticed when I got home there was smoke coming from the engine, lifted the bonnet and there was oil everywhere. the dipstick had popped 2" out, spraying oil everywhere. Its never done this before, whats caused it? Thanks, Dan

A humungus thanks to JIMMER yet again. :bow: Well peeps you guessed it Jimmer (assisted by Dazzer21) has performed another awsome rebuild on my zed. :hyper: I am VERY pleased with the results after picking it up this evening. It feels just like the first time you ever drive a zed, AWSOME :nana2: I love it. Thanks again to JIMMER and Dazzer21.:bow:

Happened to be stuck in traffic the other day and at one point was crawling up a hill when I noticed that the car was in 5th and pulling quite smoothly at 1000rpm! I found that quite surprising and was very impressed with the flexibility. It's a NA by the way.

Does anyone know the ref code for a tt? They are giving me HOF207. Is this right as this is the same as a 200sx 1.8 Thanks

as above im trying to find out what pipes the boost restrictors are in and what end of the pipe there pushd into, any info or diagrams would be much appreciated, also what is the result of running a zed with these removed, im not thinking of doing it, just trying to diagnose a fault. Cheers.

Aside from the Zed can anyone think of any other cars that have the same kind of style/power and are a hatchback?

Hi, Where is the best place to buy an oil filter for an NA, and can you confirm that I need approximately 4 litres of oil max? Thanks.

how easy is it to remove the rear tailgate window, just that if i get another boot lid i dont want to losse the tinted window as it is the same tint as the rest of the car. or am i worrying to much. ?

Something isnt right with the ones that are on the car now. 5 of them have simply snapped off whilst driving! I only noticed today so could have been a week or so since they snapped off :shock: Im trying to source some longer ones, but goes to show, check your wheel nuts frequently!

http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/119120-os-giken-os88-ii-uk-sequential-gearbox.html Mate of mine is selling his skyline box, with a few mods it could be made to fit a zed, it plate the front prop up and custom drive shaft and there you have a 6 speed sequencial box that will handle 1000+bhp ;) snip at £7500 installed :rofl:

For the first time in nearly 5 and a half years I am now no longer a zed owner. Been an up and down ride :) Big thanks over the time to Shunter, Greg, Legrath & JeffTT who have helped along the way.

will tt rear brake pads fix the na calipers??

Jeff, did you know of your opposite number in Texas? Edit: NO Links to US Parts providers, as we already have an Authorised US Trader. :)

Right, this has been going on for a long long time now, have a miss-fire which i just can't shift... New plugs, cleaned all connectors, checked and corrected timing, replaced coil packs, replaced almost every vac/fuel pipe, plus many other general tidy/renewing type things... Revs fine when not under load, but, think it isn't as smooth as it should be, and when driving, put ya foot down, all noise no go, (just fitted new clutch too, not slipping) no torque and pathetic at low revs, and misses/back fires, so i'm ok that it's fuelling, seems to be a spark issue... Also tho, does seem to behave a bit better afetr about 3500 revs, when the engine gets a bit of momen…

how much should i sell my blue flame exhausts for?? i have put them up for 130.. they are in great cond etc.. i put them up for 130 but do not know if this is to much or to less... to mods.. sorry this really is not trying to advertise but i really have no idea on prices for a 300zed exhaust.. pete

Hey everyone im thinking about getting new intercoolers installed when I have the engine swap done. I was just wondering what types of experience you guys have with front mounts opposed to the side mount ones. Im looking at these as they seem to be a good price. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Godspeed-90-96-300zx-z32-turbo-s-mount-intercooler-kit_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem2ea7a9ab63QQitemZ200381410147QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Any advice?

Hi all. Does anybody know where I can get a re-con steering rack? Cheers Stu

Hello again guys! Thoughts on the below? Partial service history inc Cambelt change at 112k. Clicky With Z's is it pretty much always a case of going to have a look at the general condition? This guy lives in West Sussex which is over 3 hours from me! Cheers Alex:D

Hi ya one of my mates at work had a 300 a few years ago and wants another.. he is looking at this one.. any one know anything about it??? any opinions cheers pete http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1091519.htm

Was just wondering do the alloys on a classic shape impreza have the same fitment as the zed?
