Oh yes it does! Thought I'd make the most of these warm evenings and went for a nice drive through the countryside. T-tops off, some cool tunes playing. Summer driving is great. Summer evening driving is better. Nice and warm, empty roads. I love looking up and seeing the stars and dark skies. /that's all.

Hi I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced problems when accelarating. My clutch peddle went last week, and i got it replaced & i dont know if its coincedence or not but now when i accelarate it feels like the power isnt going down properly as if the car is wheelspinning, or the clutch was still depressed? Could it be that they tweaked something on the clutch when changing it or is it related to something else? As always any advice would be brilliant as it usually saves alot of money when mending it :-) Thanks

Half 3 or 4 oclock maybe? Saw a 300zx that had had a tyre changed, just pulling of the hard shoulder, two fellas in it. Looked tidy enough apart from the space saver on the front :)

Hi to everyone and very pleased to be a part of this community. Just bought my first 300ZX on Monday (29/06/09), although I have to say that I have been in love with the car since it was launched in 1990 and I was doing my GCSEs! Anyway, finally my heart ruled my head and I got myself an imported 1993 non-turbo manual, in pearlescent white. What I now need is expert guidance from yourselves! As for initial impressions/views: - car still looks stunning, even after nearly 20 years. Everyone in the office is very envious and imagines that it must be soooooooo expensive. - interior is equally modern and still beautiful. - on the road however, I ha…

just got this app for my Iphone 3gs - looks pretty good and seems to be comparable to G-Techs results (according to the blurb, youtube and ratings). Anyone know the weight of a import SWB with wide arch kit fitted (mine to be precise :) ? Wikipedia throws up 1496 kg (3300 lb) for the standard 2 seater Not sure how much extra weight the filler would take my car. I junked the air con pump so that may make up for the amount of filler? Cheers

What effect will a dead neutral switch have on the running of the car ? as I have one and to add to the misery its refusing to come out :rant:

I seem to have what looks like a light sensor on my dash right next to my windscreen, any ideas what its for? (and dont say detecting light :smash:)

anyone else got volk split rims (17") on their car ? if so what is the correct tyre size as mine has 45's on the front and 40's on the back just looks odd. also can you get the replacement centre cap logo's.

i have a airlock in my front brake lines due to caliper change. I've tryed bleed but with no success no brake fluid coming out of the bleed screw "bleed screw is not blocked". did this happend to anyone here before? its so strange this one.

Empty your messages matey, i need your help!! Al.

Saw you coming down a short road towards the Eastville roundabout, where the m32 is above it on a flyover! Looked rather nice.

Come on guys there must be someone out there with a idea wot could be wrong with my clocks,come on the wise men :confused:

hey have searched but to no avail. im getting code 13 ( temp sensor) when i check ecu now.. any help as to where i would locate this? thanks

One day I pushed the Auto button to bring on the air con and heard this almighty crash, like the chain coming off my old push bike. Turn it of and it stops. I checked the unit and the clutch part is partially locked up and moves only an inch or so. Can this part be replaced in situ or does the whole thing have to come off. The clutch unit seems fairly accesible.

hey 300zx fans you may remember my silver zx with the bodykit on in the newbies section anyway me and my dad are getting the zx ready for its MOT very soon. There is a couple of things that are a nuisence which are i believe is the thrust bearing ( its a manual zx) makes a noise when i engage the clutch, the clutch feels very heavy but works really well no slipping , its always felt heavy since weve had the car 14 months ago, but wen i engage the clutch the engine goes slightly quieter and when i lift the clutch back up even in nutruel say a inch or two it makes a weird "whirring" noise, which lasts a few seconds then goes away. also when the car has been runni…

Hi Guy`s, I am thinking of buying a compression tester, anyone know what size i need?? I`ve nothing wrong with my car, I would just like to test and see what i`m getting!! Also whats a good reading and whats a poor reading, Thanks kind regards Darren. :)

further to my rollcoaster of a thread a few posts down, I have found what the awful grinding sound was when trying to crank. A bolt had fallen out the starter and it was hanging off the gearbox :o Have fastened it all back up and reconnected the battery...now it won't even try and crank :( I suspect the immobiliser has thrown a wobbler but just in case thought I'd test the starter. Do I connect the big bolt on the soleniod to the battery + connect the battery - to the starter bracket for earth and then stick positive on the small black wire coming off the soleniod? Picture to explain what I think i'm surposed to be doing :D

Hi, This sunday i started to loose pwr steering fluid badly, hicas light came on, i stoped the car and looked under it. Never had isse with that before. And now, if its under pressure, "moving the wheel" spraying the fluid like a watergun! Got home safe and i chked it. the rubber pipe fooked, and have a nice hole right in the middle! Anyone know the riht part number? Or where can i get it? it is the rubber pipe wich is connects the hard pipe from the left to right. (front of the engine) If im standing front of the car, its comming from the left hand side (pressume next to the oil pump and belts) and turning to the right side and get connects into hardpipe too. …

When deleting the water pipe connectors from the throttle body's etc - is there any need to PLUG the holes that remain?? I have read a couple of different versions of plenum pulls and water bypass's - and I have not seen any mention of plugging any holes. Have I missed something - or just being manic ;-)) :tongue: Cheers

i cant pm and i have been trying to get hold of john dixon but his email bounces back. does anyone know if he still has his manual conversion for sale as he lives near me. pete

Well... Just Spoke to Mike at MJP about my car and the fact it failed the balance test and the results are......... It's not a compression issue, all cylinders are between 175&168 PSI so fairly healthy!!!!! What was found is that where the Coil Pack connects to the plug was rusty so it may have been arcing out... apparently it sounds much better (no missing at tickover now) and a conzult is going to be run on it soon so as to prove it.... I am over the moon!!!!!!! :hyper::hyper::hyper:

I understand that i should use a bolt on hubcentric system and have been looking at options. I need 30mm spacers for the rear. http://www.wheels.uk.com/acatalog/wheel-spacers-nissan-300zx-system-3.html I read an old post about eibach hubcentric spacers but cant find them anywhere? Any other spacers worth considering?
