ah, didn't make myself clear, its a manual so do I have the right one, just the one plate?

just dug out my box of gearbox bit ready to put on, looking at the plate that goes in between the box and engine in not sure if I have the right one mine looks like this http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=2730 and I think I may need this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300ZX-Z32-Twin-Turbo-Gear-Box-To-Engine-Covers-/230943233826?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3A300+ZX&hash=item35c54a1722 help needed asap as this may stop me getting it done before I go

I guess ill chip in to as we are all in a happy place Two weeks today i will be stepping off the plane to my new home, Hong Kong. I have a mix of emotions ranging from amazingly excited to bricking it.

I can sort you with the radio bezel. it has had a hole drilled through it for an alarm led

good price, having done the job i wouldnt wat to do it for that. i think the sills were around £250 a side when i bought mine. the rest i fabricated

thanks for the replies guys, hope to get it back in this weekend, clutch hasn't turned up so no choice anyways. ill update my thread with some pics

you can buy a glass polishing kit like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-50mm-DIY-Glass-Polishing-Repair-kit-Light-Scratches-/150829444245?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item231e22ac95

thanks for all the pointers guys I think ill go in separate but ill offer the box up to the engine first just to make sure its all aligned and I have all the right bolts :wacko: it will be going in without plenum to so should be real quick......I hope

ive got all the tools no problem, ive also removed the egr so i guess it should be easy either way. i think ill put them in together as i can drop the cross member with 4 nuts to make things nice and simle. as long as the hoist can take it:wacko:

i hope so, i have an auto ecu going back into my originally manual car

thanks guys im sure it can be done both ways, just hoping for some experiences of both. ill go for both together if possible

Hey guys its been a long time coming but im hoping to get the engine in this weekend, not really a problem however.. when i pulled the engine, im sure i seperated the engine from the box and pulled them seperatly. ive been thinking about it and obviously its nicer if i can fix the box up to the engine and bolt it all up nice without bashing too many knuckles etc and swearing at the clutch spline with 70kg of box on my chest so three options box and engine seperate box and engine in through the top box and engine bolted to front subframe on trolly then drop shell over as per factory anyone got any real world experience, ive pulled two engines but never put one in. ive had lots of experience with other cars and have used all of the above methods ps ive done a lot of work on the engine bay so keeping it scratch free is essential. oh and its a tt your thoughts

the manifolds are the same as thesehttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-Z32-VG30DETT-T-DUAL-TWIN-TURBO-TRACK-RACE-CERAMIC-EXHAUST-MANIFOLDS-/350739424343?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3A300+ZX&hash=item51a9b2e457

if you email me at peterjloveday@hotmail.co.uk ill send it you mate not keen on putting number on public for um

well i have a set of the ceramic coated stainless manifolds, brand new sitting in cupboard. im putting my zed back together as quick as possible so dont want any of the potential fitting problems. if anyone wants to try them for cheap, they are yours £100 delivered

thanks for the praise guys hope more updates over weekend what are the thoughts on the wheels, wanted something a little more inkeeping with the cars age so gone for a classic 3 spoke with no dish. ive always loved the Ferrari 355 and love how the swb has very similar styling so went for similar. the wheels are kahn rsr's in 18 x 8.5 front and 9.5 rear with a 235/40 et 35 and 275/35 et 45. might want some spacers, guessing 15 or 20 on front and a 10 on the rear, I don't want any arch rolling or scrubbing but want a nice stance

to get the fan off there is 1 vertical bolt at the top going up and two horizontal nuts at the bottom. just put mine back in. there is also an electrical connector in the front and i think 1 in the side towards the centre of the car. hope this helps

oh 99 spec bumper is also painted

also did a few other bits tonight but no pics polished up a wing mirror polished a door handle rebuilt and fitted both had a go at refurbing a window strip, really happy with the results hoping to have interior all back in this weekend, except a bit of trim next weekend will be engine

few interior pics dash fitted, all tweed panels retrimmed in grey alcanrtara [/img] dug out my old nardi steering wheel, works perfectly with the grey and I think its style suits the zed, also retrimmed the speedo cowl in alcantara [/img] hope you enjoy

bit of an update got the roof polished [/img] new wheels trial fitted [/img] wing trial fitted [/img] and fitted [/img]

i take it you mean the mesh grill for the 99 spec bumper ive wanted one too, but not at that price. i guess most either leave it off or use mesh to make their own i think like most bits its just expensive, wouldnt be hard to make and as long as you have good quality mesh it would look good to.

wonder if people could shed some light on this im just putting my swb back together, the car is originally a tt manual and im refitting the steering columb i also have a spare steering columb which is in slightly better condition and most importantly has the ignition key matched to my lock set including the titanium key. this came from my previous car which i broke which was a lwb tt auto all is fine except there are two extra electrical connectors on the ignition barrel. both have the illumination ring the auto one has an aditional connector half way down (which i belive is the key sensor) the other i am guessing is a lock of some sort relating to the auto the question is, do either of these need connecting. i think that i may be able to remove the auto lock thing as its screwed in and im guessing the other is just a sensor so will be ok anyone any experience of this? other option is to take the key barrel from the auto columb and add it to my original so my locks match

looking good mate. I was just refitting my loom tonight and was wondering if I should remove the alarm or not, still undecided but the wiring isn't much better loving the work and keep up the good work

best place would be in the bin, dont think they would look right on a zed
