Anyone into drifting??
I think this is worth the picture, Matt from the Carloan4U drift team winning the semi pro class. awesome stuff considering drifting is an event full of the s series nissans and not really known for the 300zx.

Do you know what happened with the z32 that was there noel?

well it could of been a red herring as i never had a issue with over heating due to the belt being missing on the clutch for the AC pump, but also know that it could contribute to overheating if there was a issue with other areas of the system. With my over heating problems, i think i went through everything lol, had a blocked rad, failed thermostat, failing 20 year old coolant pipes that kept splitting all over the engine, trapped air pocket and a blocked heater matrix, and then once id sorted all that lot out and actually got the car to stop over heating, that annoying accident that made the top plastic rad pipe (part on the rad that the top radiator hose connects too) snap and finally kill my HG.

If there is a fault with the AC system, it might of contributed to the over heating of the car (see link below on overheating), especially if the AC fan on the front of the AC rad fails to come on, yes i could of given the advice to pull the ECU temp sensor off the front water pipe to check to see if the Aux fan is working, but it was a long day for me and i was trying to point someone in the direction of some help, what i forgot after i started typing is that the belt wasn't present, so the pump wouldn't work to move refrigerant around the system and bring the temp up slightly, thus the need for a AUX fan on the AC rad that kicks in when the AC is turned on to cool the AC rad. this can add to the heat coming onto the front of the OEM radiator and heating it up if there is a issue with other areas of the cooling system, although im sure you are fully aware of that and do not need me to tell you how the system works Though im intrigued as to why you singled me out and brought that up when i was answering about the missing AC belt that others before me had pointed out. As for the light, it was a simple mistake, it was supposed to say gauge, im sure you could of worked that one out though, but thank you for bringing it too my attention, i can now edit my post. Anyway Tornoutlaw this might help you, as it once helped me when i had overheating issues and got told that a thermostat cant fail closed (which as it turned out, it fail to open and caused my over heating and collapsed the lower rad pipe and ended up dumping coolant over my mates brand new drive) http://z32.wikispaces.com/Cooling+System

No problem, i had loads of issues with a over heating zed, took me ages and a few goes to get the system under control. might want to have a rummage through some of my old posts. finally got my over heating sorted out and then took a rear impact collision that ended up snapping the top rad pipe and blowing the HG lol

its the over flow, so expansion in the rad under normal conditions can filter into the overflow tank. Get it trailered home, fill her up in the morning and under supervision run her on idle with the rad cap off and see if she over heats, if she does start, then shut her off, put the cap back on, wait for the system to cool down and try again, this time look out for leaks in the system, this is better done if you have access to the ECU temp rather than relying on the dash gauge as you get a better reading of the temp and can shut the car off before any further damage is caused, if the bottom rad hose collapses, then it could be either a blockage or something is wrong with the thermostat stopping it from opening fully and that's whats caused you to over heat. Also get a block tester from ebay, you might want to check to see if your HG has gone or starting to go.

the aircon belt will not make your car over heat unless there is A/C refrigerant in the A/C pipes when its turned on and the AC compressor hasn't been unplugged. (look for a white connector down the passenger side of the intake pipe, should be able to see if the aircon pump still has it plugged in) (see below for a better explanation as i missed a few things yesterday when originally replying) Filler her up, leave the heater on, but on highest temp settings and on full, this will help reduce heat with in the system if you need to drive it home, but take it easy and keep an eye on the gauge, but i think she will just over heat again. Could be a burst hose, or a split hose making it lose water, hole in the rad, leak on the heater matrix or associated pipe work, faulty thermostat.

I like some tyre on my rims though, well enough to protect them from UK roads anyway lol- Inspiration needed!!
You got the better spoke pattern boo lol- Inspiration needed!!
Right, well if you like cleaning your wheels then go for less spokes, 5 spokes are far easier to keep clean than multi spoke. I have 19" mania vortex evolutions On my blue zed Now on my black zed. They are a pain in the ass to keep clean, well to be quite frank, they are now in need of a refurb thanks to the british weather.- VFM Ebay Indiglo Dial Faces ?
Id be weary of the second ones that say about removing the needles, they are very sensitive devices and if you remove the needles they do not respond well once put back in, seems they "balance" when stock in the tube they sit in, once you disturb that balance, they sink in and get stuck, i had this issue the first time i ever put EL dials in my 300zx, had to get new clocks to sort the issue out as there was no way to get the needles in and free moving enough, the responce from the needles isn't fast enough or smooth enough once tampered with. I do like the ones designed, but id have 30 and 70 marked in red to help Im not too keen on the original white design, that big black part (with the red 300zx logo on) on both the speed o and rev counter draws the eyes too it and makes you loose the sleek look. I do like the black dials though.- This sort of ebay thing really boils my p1ss
Id reply steams mate, but for some reason i seem to have miss placed my keybo.........- just got some rear quarter shades....
mine would illuminate if my el strips were back from groover lol- just got some rear quarter shades....
Easy to fit mate, undo the screws along the top of the rear quarter window trim plastic, you should then be able to pull it out far enough to slide them in between the body and the plastic, saves having to take off the lower part of the trim and undo the bolts, just becareful as you pull on the plastic window surround as the struts for the boot go through it, but it can be done. also, the none illuminated are very very rare.- how fast can a z32 be?

Nice results there matey, whats the cycle like on those injectors lol- Front Camber Arms
pretty sure they do, cant remember now but one of the skylines shares the same suspension components, not sure if its the R32 or the R33 GTST. - Inspiration needed!!
