Set of 6 new OEM Coil pack connectors
Up for grabs are a set of 6 brand new OEM Nissan 300zx coil pack connectors. These often go brittle and break with age causing bad running. These new connectors can be spiced into the existing loom. The connectors are also the same as the ones for the o2 sensors. Over $60 from the USA and that's before shipping and taxes. On eBay 301971130704 Cheers...

Pair of OEM engine mounts in excellent condition.
Up grabs is a pair of OEM engine mounts in excellent condition. These have been sat in my loft for a few of years, I bought these off a forum member back then who claimed he had bought the mounts new and had done very little mileage on them before having to break his car and looking at them I believe it. These were going to be fitted to my car which I have now just sold. :( Now on eBay....

Are all MAFS created equal?
Fair enough, glad you're continuing with the quality theme!:)

Hi James. Don't know if I dare ask! What's wrong with the car that makes you think you need a new MAF?

Spark plugs - NGK PFR6B11 For 300zx non-turbo engine (set of 6)
Hi. Up for sale are a set of 6 NGK PFR6B11 spark plugs. These were fitted to what was my twin turbo 300zx before realising they were the wrong plug. The previous owner had fitted them, they have done less than 2000miles and are in excellent condition. These are for the non-turbo car however it has to be said they were fine in my twin turbo, I believe they were standard fitment in the JSPEC twin turbo, it was the UK cars that got the PFR6B11C. Any use to anyone? Going on eBay starting at 99p. I don't want to throw these away.

Colour matching white
It is interesting to note that despite the cost cutting measures the late spec cars have some thicker metal work within the chassis to further increase rigidity which lets be honest is a good thing because their not the stiffest cars around! Don't think many people are aware of that.

300ZX vs Supra - a final verdict
I think so! But like I said we're all a bit biased here at http://www.300zx.co.uk ;)

300ZX vs Supra - a final verdict
I think we might all be a little biased on here! Certainly on looks the Z32 is a better looking car, but IMO only as a standard car, the Supra to me response much better to a body kit our Z32 doesn't. In terms of durability I believe the Supra to be a stronger car all round really.

Auto or manual transmission
I had my first Z converted from auto to manual. For 99% of the time, the car is a better one for being a manual, but dam the 45mph kick down acceleration the auto provided was pretty epic. That made the car feel pretty quick! And very easy.

New swb mid section exhaust
Its only my opinion, but I very much doubt its an OEM part. Maybe a cheap pattern part from somewhere. Just doesn't have that quality look to me?? That said, options aren't great for the SWB, in fact zero aside from custom build so might be useful to someone. It has been for sale for a while though so reckon on some good movement in price
-
Unidentified object
Yes it is. Not sure about the loom connector though, doesn't look like I remember it to be. Maybe a pattern part sensor has been used and a new wire needed making. I'm sure the original loom connector totally encompasses the connection at the sensor to keep dirt and water out.

So why a Zed, people?
Because their beautiful! :)

More vibration woes....
There's no obvious accident damage. The shell and chassis are straight to the eye, underneath, front, back and under the boot trim. I'm sure its had some aggressive runs though, wondering if the semi slicks and potential drag racing could have damaged them. I've been scanning youtube and seen some videos of slightly untrue half shafts. You can see it if the car is run jacked up. I might have a look at this.
-
More vibration woes....
Yes, full alignment check done, all within spec.
-
More vibration woes....
No guys, I've been through these parts and changed them trying to solve the vibration. I'm wondering if anyone has had a diff causing a vibration or a (half shaft). Remember the speed is 60+
-
More vibration woes....
This isn't a wheel issue mate. I bought new alloys and tyres had them balanced twice, spigot rings are correct and fitted. The vibration was also there on the original wheels.

More vibration woes....
Hi Guys, I have a nice solid vibration at motorways speeds which seems to get worse from about 60mph upwards gradually getting worse the faster you go. The car has recently had a new single piece prop shaft fitted along with a new gearbox mount both have made no difference. There is no noticeable play in any of the wheels, the hicas joints and inner steering arms are also recent. The alloys and tyres are new with no balance issues. Despite all of this the vibration continues, it sounds like its coming from the NSR but very hard to tell. I'm wondering if I've got a knackered driveshaft/both or a knackered diff? My car was bought with racing seats, slammed coilovers and semi slick tyres so I know its had some hammer (all gone now!) What do you guys think the most likely culprit will be? I can't see it being the wheel bearings, this is a proper noisy vibration rather than a whir. Cheers...

Suspension Parts and opinions
The other thing of course is that what one person thinks is crashy, another person things is sporty or just ok. Its a somewhat subjective thing.
-
Suspension Parts and opinions
I hope you achieve what you're after, but truth is I think you'll still find it crashy. Hope I'm wrong. IMO the best ride (not handling) is achieved by using the original spec springs and dampers and sticking to new OEM bushings. Obviously this is quite an expensive route. All this solid bearing this and solid bushing that only make the ride worse. Coil overs are always more performance and handling biased and always be somewhat firmer than stock which can create a crashy ride. Also, new cars now ride so well, even on silly 20" wheels (example new Astra VXR) that we are spoilt and our Z32 just can't compete and its easy to unfairly compare.

96 Bronze vert just up for sale.
Completely agree. Some people just have no clue. It looks ridiculous! Note it also has a twin turbo front bumper as well for those less in the knowledge.
