Non Z. Bit of a weird one really, sold the 280 and was a bit lost, so went modern again but it won't be for long. Might keep this though cos it is awesomely fun and does about 55mpg! Anyways I'm on the prowl for a 240z now, in fact if anyone has one and wants to p/x with my roadster that...

Hi guys taken my plugs out and can't remember the firing order now :? Anyone got pics or the firing order

Can't say I'll miss her lol she had some kind of personal vendetta against me I think. Replaced a lot of parts and now she seems to be fine but I've always had my heart on a 240 or a 260 so I'll be looking for one now. So if anyone comes across one, in any condition, let me know!

As above, was on the motorway and heard a really weird clicking sound from beneath the dash, then my battery volt reader started going schizo, then I got smoke. Stopped on hard shoulder, managed to see the water pump break its waters. I've ordered a pump but wanted to check what bearing this...

What a pain in the ass. I managed to change it but only 1 side of the glass moves up :? I changed only the motor and not the whole mechanism, should this make a difference?

So my 450 miles went fairly straightforward, get 6 miles from home and a screeching sound, smell of burnt plastic and a deep rumbling through the floor, sounded like when your running on a flat.. no play in my rear driver wheel so I counted bearing out. Never had diff go, is it a big job?

Did any models come with this? I'm talking about the chrome classic bumpers not the rubber or MSA kind. I'm in the middle of something that is now irreversible lol I've widened a 240z front spoiler and fit it to my 280zx, now I have 2 'indents' on either side that would be filled nicely with a...

Hi guys, as above, my wheel fell off today as I was driving, as they do! The hubcentric spacer was attached to it so my hub studs are obviously done in, ideally want some that are slightly longer.. Where can I get these from? Mr F if you have any let me know price please

My lock protrudes about an inch in the middle of tail gate, and my new square numberplate has arrived which is 8.5" in height, which means the lock is in the way. I'm guessing this is the standard place for a boot lock on all 280's, but wanted to know if the lock can be moved anywhere else..?

Brought my new brocks today, they'r 16" and all 4 are 9J, should have checked before but I've got clearance issues at the front. Question is though whats max width I can run on my 280.. I'd guess 8.5 up front and 9/9.5 rears..? Also for anyone who's gone for the 'down and out' look, what set...

Dudeos, a guy from another forum noticed my pics and recognised the plate, he sent me a message saying it had been in the Shetland classic motor show in about 2002. It was a guy just up the road from him in Shetland who owned it, unfortunately he died a few years ago in a motorbike accident...

Dudeos, the 280 engine is now free from air leaks and I've replaced or cleaned out most hoses and given it an all round service. HOWEVER just went for a spin round the block despite having no front or back bumper and it's still slacking a bit up hill, and during the last leg I throttled it...

300zx, made me giggle 1993 NISSAN 300 ZX 3.0 V6 Targa 3dr Auto Coupe

I was just clearing up some space on the computer and noticed a few of my old rides, few pics for your delectation - got this when I was 15: turned it into this: my bug: 300zx: had a few fto's but this was most recent: and my pre 280zx capri: Be good to see some...

Hey guys, just to update I pretty much took my 280zx engine apart and have finally got rid of the air leak, moves and sounds lot better, still have some misfiring despite a full service but all else seems ok. As usual one problem follows another and I now have a strong smell of petrol from...

Hi guys, I've just realised some kind of vacuum pipe is missing as you can see in the first pic, it's just under throttle body. This is what I'd have thought it's connected to and someone has blocked it off. Any ideas?

Now I have your attention couple of quick questions please - After removing my back bumper on 280zx I'm left with the metal bumper, can't for the life of me work out how to access the bolts and remove this..? Also lighter and cd player aren't working, is there a fuse anywhere that controls...

I know this is probably a topic seldom discussed, but thought I'd see what kinda economy you guys are getting from your zeds. I put a tenner into my 280zx yesterday and it's lasted me 25 miles. Is that about right? Be good to compare to other 280's on here, but also would like to know what all...

Hu guys, changed my exhaust manifold gasket twice now and still it manages to find a leak after a few days, I've skimmed both surfaces and tightened everything nice and tight. I know some bolts and studs are not recommended to be re-used so just wanted to ask if you reckon it worth me getting...

So the car is still an ongoing tragedy of problem after problem, but since owning I have lowered, smoked all lights, put on the new wheels and dealt with majority of engine problems. Stacked up I have my new bullet mirrors, arches, carbon fibre bonnet, 260z front spoiler and wider wheels, but...
