This car is jinxed,the lights are stayin on now when there switched off,parking light stayin on on passenger side and full light stayin on drivers side. I had to jump start it with jump leads few days ago, hope I didn't damage the Ecu?? Also the abs light is on since I bought the car and the hicas light came on for a while one day as wel then went off.. The wiring harness looks mint condition

Thanks for the reply medallion man,it has to be electrical, jus put the lights on there now and it's working perfect, turn off the lights and it sticks at +7 again, strange 1

Started the car this morn and the gauge is stuck at +7,any ideas? Car is driving perfect..

Any one using one of these systems or know much about them? All I know is there made in the uk, a brand new cat back system came up for sale for the swb Inc gaskets and bolts for €250, can't go wrong I guess..

Bit like my mates car

In a 2+0 all ya do is tint the back windows and get an engineers report, a 2+2 is bit more work, seats out, false floor,seat belts takin out and holes welded etc. There's one on donedeal.ie key in 300zx ://cars.donedeal.ie/vintagecars-for-sale/300zx-road-tax-only-333/5889525#

Ya it's some joke alrite! Few lads convert them to commercial so you'd be payin €330 instead of €1500, bit of a loop hole and exactly what il be doin!

Thanks for the heads up lads,got it at rite money alrite, guess the €1500 a year tax puts people off! @ Gary nicely spotted mate, better sort that ha! Let the upgrades begin, keep ye posted , happy new year all

Hello all, after crashing my red z and the engine going in the one I bought after that I took a well needed break from them! Went to look at 1 today and ended up buying it! It's a 1990 swb tt auto with a genuine 50k mile on it.all original and standard Inc Nissan tape player! Old fella had it last 10 years and hardly ever drove it.. needs a good clean,exhaust back box and a spoiler, not to bad for €750 euro? !

Tax is keeping these big engines cars of the road in this country,I know few people have takin out rear seats and converted the car to a van for cheap commercial tax. At least you can get classic insurence which is something

welcome aboard,nice original looking z you have there,it needs nothing.car tax in this countrys a joke,how much is it again?!!

took the old seats out today and done a few measurements,decided they would be easier fitted using the honda rails that came on the recaros.iam not a great welder so going to get a mate to do it some other time.heres a few pictures, there very dirty from the crashed car they came out off but in very good cond and go well with the interior colour. sorry about the bad photos. @mark id no problem with electrics as my cars non turbo.maby some body else can help you there.

ya will do gary,just got the seats yesterday,il get a picture up soon

Thanks lads,mite go for it so! Nice seats you have there yewcheck,they look the part

Quick question about fitting Recaro front seats. A nice set of Recaro semi bucket seats out of a 2005 Honda accord r came in on a crashed car at the local car dismantlers, I can get these for cheap, question is can I make them fit the 300zx?

ya it gets louder when the revs increase alright,is it a big job to do bottom end bearings?cost?engine out anyway i guess! probably better off not driving car till i get it looked at..

started up the car earlier today only to hear a knocking noise coming from engine,its ok at idle but when turning key to start you can hear knocking and around 3k revs and up you can hear it.its not noticeable when sitting in car but with hood open can be herd plainly.the car is a 96 na with low miles and running on all cylinders and not over heating. not much history on car and haven't it long.i know when i got it i checked it for oil and there was a good bit to much oil in it,did that cause damage i wonder?thanks for any help

thanks dazvert,ya its a mess alrite.could be worse,no one hurt il be using it for parts to convert the new car to manual so al is not lost!

ya iam gutted about the car for sure,2 years doing it up and a lot of money wasted,just had the timing belt done the week before too.sh1t happens..ya,have another one got already,had advertised looking for a shell,guy rang me up offering a 1996 reg (95 model) na auto for a very good price so i took it..

had a bit of bad luck there few weeks ago,coming home from driftfest in galway,lost the car on a bad corner in hevey rain and hit a stone wall,cars a complete rite off but no one hurt. heres the results

any ideas??

ya think there related alrite,i dont think there was a mph conversion done its in kph but il take a look any way,thanks

i recently got myself a 1996 300zx na auto and having few problems which i think are related.the steering can suddenly get heavey for no reason and the speedo can either stop or goes bit silly and the trip meter dosnt work.the car is standard apart from a apexi rsm meter which gives the cars speed and rpm.the reading this gives is about half the actual speed reading.i looked at a tread jeff done (thanks jeff) in the faq section about speed sensors and mine looks fine,any other ideas?thanks

thanks gaz,fews things of the list to do!hope to get timming belt done in next few weeks

done a few jobs this week,put in a set of kyb adjustable shocks with eiback lowering springs,it made a masive difference to the way car handles and still nice ride on bumpy road.i measured ride height with old suspension then again with new "lower"suspension,turns out car was lower with old shocks and springs,must a bein well fooked! also fixed up exhaust,it was blowing where it connects to turbo elbows,so got a de cat pipe and nissan oem exhaust steel o ring gaskets to cure the problem, sounds great-that bubbling sound gone so v happy!
