Small bubles inside rear window glass
I did not notice it when I bought the car, but part of the rear window glass of my 300zx has small 'bubbles' within the laminated glass, which does affect visibility. I guess there is not way to get rid of it is there ? How much is a new rear window for a 300zx import ? Thanks John

Wheel Tracking - what are the specs ?
I just came from Kwik Fit, I went to have the front tracking done, his chart list a UK 300zx having toe -out (no listing for import): the 300zx manual on cd (from Zcenter) list it as 0 - 2 mm TOE IN. Which is it ? Mine is an import, 1992 non turbo. Thanks John

Vibration felt in seat back
My newley aquired 1992 N/A 399zx import seams to have vibration felt in the seat back, worse I think around 60 mph. seams a bit more than my old MR2. The engine is very smooth, no vibration or juddering from the steering wheel. Is this normal for a 300zx ? Thanks John

Wiring Subwoofer and Amplifier
HI, After having my ZX for 2 days now, Im looking to improve the sound system. The previous owner had cut away part of the twin unit console to make room for a big Panasonic VX999MD radio, cd/md player. Its one of those about 5" high chrome jobs, sounds great, but would look better in a 1955 Caddillac than in a all black ZX dash. There is not even a trim to go around it, I guess because the front swings up and out to access the Mini Disk. Anyway, I guess I can live with that (for the time being) but I want to add a subwoofer/amplifier, like one of those "tube" jobs. Whats the best way to wire it up? One I looked at only has 2 wires to got to the rear speakers and a 12V plus and minus. That means its on all the time ? Anyone got any tips/suggestions ? Thanks, John

cam belt change
Robtor, will your parts fit a Japanese 1992 non turbo (auto box) car ? How much do you want for them ? John

cam belt change
I agree Geoff, I bought the 300ZX from a dealer, but the previous owners name is still on the vehicle registration. I have sent a letter off today to him asking him if he ever had the cam belt changed. I fugure he would have nothing to gain by lying, so if he says its been changed, it should be good enough. John

cam belt change
Thanks for your replies. Jock, is a cam belt change something that could be done in a weekend? I am reasonably mechanically inclined (I rebuilt a 1968 Corvette engine...but back then there were not miles of pollution equipment and gizmos to contend with.) John

cam belt change
Having just bought my first 300zx, (import, non turbo) 1992 with 53,000 miles, I am wondering when it would be due for its first cam belt change (assuming it has not had one) and what would be an average cost. Thanks John

Hi everyone, I just bought a 1992 (import, non-turbo) 300zx, and would like to get my hands on a manual/or CD. I am prepared to pay for it, can anyone tell me where to get it. I look forward to exchanging valuable information on this forum. Thanks, John
