As the weather is getting warm, i need to get my air con colder. First thing i need to know, plus a few more questions does my aircon work??? When i turn it on, the revs go higher, it clicks and it comes out, not warm but cooler. Is the clutch on the front supposed to spin or not???? If it is working, is it worth taking to Kwik fit to re gas or an aircon man. Having read threads re this, the old stuff is not available anymore, but the connector changed on a certain year??? Mine is a late UK 94 Manual TT if it helps. Stu

have tried and tested at least 3 working cd players in my car but for some reason they will not even turn on. i have bought the connecter for the Z and hooked it all up, then plugged it into the stereo but nothin, the cd player section makes a noise to show there is power going to it, but nothing else, blank screen (not actual screen as just normal cd player) have tried resetting the players but still nothing, what am i missing as i know these cd players 100% work? any ideas ? cheers Jonny

getting really stressed with my zed and really need some expert help......its an n/a auto and its been hesitating for while more so in the wet. then all of a sudden it started running on 5 cylinders. i phoned jeff at zedworld who was super helpful and bought a set of plugs and a coil pack as it seems to point to that but its not cured the problem. weve tested the injector connectors for corrosion but they are fine.....its seems to be number 2 plug which sparks ok when out of the block but once put in theres no spark again...weve tried moving the plug and coil packs to other positions and they work fine but put them back onto plug no 2 they stop working again. must be an …

First time ive seen this one, 2 guys in. Was on the Haverton hill road A1046 about 1330 today. Anyone on here?

Looking at new suspention, anyone heard of this kit and know if it's any good? http://kcr-intl-inc.amazonwebstore.com/Megan-Racing-MRCDKR32-Coilover-Damper-Kit/M/B001D75E1Y.htm

need to find someone with a compressor and a boost leak tester. i can find the tester but do not have a compressor. would like to find someone who can check (for a third opinion) of a few pipes that are disconnected and possibly explain how i can reconnect them. did take pictures but hard to see the pipes other than good old fashion head searching :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

the other day my car lefta huge puddle on the car park (about a cup full of water) i did notice the radiator had lost some fluid and so last night when i filled up my empty autobox with ATF and filled the rad up i noticed that the car was dripping fluid on the ground from behind the engine. At first i though it was the autobox and that it made sense why my autobox had no fluid however last night i left a tray under the drip to see what it is this morning i have now checked and it was water... i am glad for the gearbox however now i have to find a leak! the amount of water that had dripped overnight was thankfully only enough to fill the equivalent …

my Autobox was changing gears rather late without crunching or grinding and so have taken the chance to look at the fluid in the box............. NOTHING! yesterday i bought 5 litres of comma ATF to see if the car will make a difference and it all went in the box however i have gone to measure the box this morning and where the comma ATF fluid is a see through (ish) red and i am colour blind i cannot tell how high it is on the dipstick..... any ideas? :confused:

Hi guys. Just got myself a private registration plate from my mrs for my up and coming birthday, so i was wondering if; there is anyone on hear that can make up a set of number plates? If so how much would these cost? Im looking to get the numbers spaced out about.

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…
