    Any Nissan(/300zx) guys here? Please some help :)

    Hi guys! My dad owns a z32 300zx and as the local stealerships charge quite heavily for parts I'd like to ask what are the best dealerships in USA I could turn to for ordering parts (like Champion Toyota or Elmhurst Toyota for us :))? What would be a good/best :) forum to browse? Would be...

    Alternative differential/gearbox oil choices

    I was searching through the forums and didn't get any answers. Usually the recommendation on here was to use Ford diff oil or Redline. As I'm from Europe, then I just won't bother searching for the first one :D and I know that the latter one is hard to get, so I'd need something else. As I...

    Question to the wide-rims gurus

    Hi, my father just bought himself a convertible z32 300zx (imported 2 years ago from texas, I don't think the Europeans got 2 seater versions at all). As he likes the car a lot, he wants to put a Strosek widebody on it (ordered already:icon_bigg), so I now have to search for some wheels...

    MAFTpro tune problems

    At least I'm thinking those are MAFTpro related :D Though first one probably isnt- my idle is usually as high as 1-1.2k. What could be causing that? I've gotten the idle to 600 though after I repaired the vacuum vsv's wires that's inline with my Afpr (and MAP sensor that didn't want to work...

    EGT monitoring?

    I searched and found basically nothing (the search function is rather bad now :(). Is there a point in installing a EGT sensor for a 7mgte or is the method of installing one sensor in the 6th exhaust manifold runner rather pointless (that's how it's usually done, isn't it?)? I'll be running...

    Correct way of installing adjustable end links.

    I searched here and on the net, but wanted to know what our local SME will tell/show a nice link of how to correctly install adjustable end links with sway bars (I'm going ST, but don't think that other sway bars have other procedures?). Thanks.

    Buying/searching parts from Japan?

    I have this situation that I acquired a Soarer some time ago ( http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?116612-Look-what-we-just-got!-A-Z10-Soarer!/page2 ) and it needs a couple of parts. As those cars are (almost?) non-existable in Europe :cry: then if I need something I'd have to get...

    Wire harness + plug questions

    So, I'm in the middle of doing a NA-T swap with turbo electronics on my 87'. I bought the wiring harness from the US (88 turbo manual) and now noticed and remembered that you USDM folks don't have PPS. So I took the PPS wires from my old harness and wanted to plug it into the new one and...

    Suddenly no heat when engine's warm

    So recently the heater stopped blowing hot air when the engine got warm. Interesting thing is that it blows warm air until the engine warms up, but if I'm not mistaken, only from the windshield vent. After that I get only cold air from everywhere At first I thought it's the valve in the...

    Taken from http://www.ma70.com/bishop/namod.html. As I'm making preventative maintenance, thought that maybe one of those would be good... What do you think? Where should it be connected to get useful readings?

    Clutch problem.

    I have a w58 tranny that we've just assembled. We installed new pressure plate from ACT (from act ts3-hdr4 for Supra NT/Truck clutch kit) with the clutch disk of turbo supra. First problem we ran into was the Release Bearing (it didn't quite fit the fork), so we bought a new OEM bearing and...

    Knocking/ticking

    So, just day before yesterday the oil was changed, also the plugs and belts (like 80k km maintenance). The mechanic said, the valve cover gasket (?) should be changed and also water pump leaks. Noow yesterday we pushed the car a bit, to see what was whining at 4,5k+ rpms and we found out that's...
