Manual conversion parts.
Any one know of a kit going or where to enquire? I stupidly thought I’d just call Bonzai Breakers and I’ll get a kit. They don’t have any and there’s a waiting list?. Was hoping to get it done over this winter.

Clutch & flywheel recommendations.
As I’ve never owned a manual Z and trying to get things together for the conversion. What clutch and flywheel would you guys recommend. I’m thinking lightened flywheel maybe but not a clue on make. I’m looking at getting the Z to 400-450bhp in the end

AMS throttle cover
I didn’t know about the quality of AMS stuff. Your right about the rear bolt hole, now the fixing kit has been sent I can see how to fit it.

Yellow UK 300zx
Zeds do seem to be on the up and I think a big jump this year, going on some of the prices I’ve seen. Going back to the F&F films wasn’t it a guy racing in his Zed who came up with the idea for the film?

AMS throttle cover
Thanks Mine is new and came with nothing even though it stated “comes with fasting kit” I think that might be the issue.

Power zed
Jimmer has been recommended to me too from the guy who sold me his zed. He has already worked on my Zed and hopefully will be doing my manual conversion this autumn/winter?

AMS throttle cover
Has anyone fitted one themselves? I can’t see how it fits, it’s an inch higher than the original cover it catches lots of pipes and cables. My fuse covers fitted over the originals, so tried that, wouldn’t fit. ?♂️

Battery Power draining
Thanks guys will try that. ?

Battery Power draining
A long shot but is there a common issue with the 300 that drains the battery? I'm sure it’s intermittent but didn’t think much about it as I put it down to a dodgy battery but fitted a new battery a month ago and had the kill switch turned off so all was fine. Yesterday I left the kill switch in at 8:30am and by 2am my alarm starts going off!! Couldn’t turn it off or open the doors so pulled the kill switch. I don’t want to be leaving it like this if it can drain a brand new battery in less than a day.

The start of the manual conversion

Z32 Specialist in SE England
When my detonation sensor went my Z just ran in safe mode it wasn’t running rough or anything like that. Was a right faff to change.

Anyone selling 99 spec rear lights?
Thanks guys. I just thought I’d ask as I ordered lots of parts in February from US and still not received anything yet. I didn’t want to order the lights from the states and have the same issue.

Brilliant thank you.

Manual conversion help
Thanks for the help. I’m just weighing up the involvement in doing it, as I was going to send it to jimmer (but a long way away from me), there is a gearbox specialist by me who I have to fit gas boiler & heating for, so we were going to trade work. He’s not worried about the physical side as he has worked on Z gearboxes before but he does have reservations about the electric side involved. Just not sure what to do?

Manual conversion help
I’m very close to getting the Zed ready for its manual conversion, but there’s a few things I’m not sure about. I intend on getting the manual kit off Bonsai Breakers, so hopefully I’ll get everything needed. Unless anyone on here has one? 1. Do I need a different ECU for a manual? 2. Do I remove the auto ecu or leave it? 3. The blue relay behind the wing I hear it is bridged together again do I remove the blue relay? 4. I’m sure my zed has a 1 piece prop, I’m guessing I will need a whole manual prop? 5. Does anything need setting up electronically once done? any pointers and advice you think I’ve missed would be great

Targa seals.
Will do thanks for that. ?

Targa seals.
does anyone know if the targa seals have any type of sealant on them. Been getting water coming in. at the front of the targa on drivers side and behind dripping on the back of the seat, this is the same on the passenger side. I silicone greased the seals (as this worked on my old Z), but when I removed the seals to look at their condition I noticed black bitumen just underneath where they sit under the drain holes. Looked original to my but old and not very water tight, is it supposed to have sealant/bitumen there? Looks like it’s to make sure the water goes down the drain holes and not between the body and door.
