Fitted one side of my Brembo upgrade today. Do you need any info? Mike

Lights on steering heavy. Oil level bit low but topped up, turn the key off and then on hicas fine. WTF This is really pi$$ing me off, may be a oil leak? how easy is to remove this system but keep power to the steering. Now the level is normal it still plays up after about 5 mins of driving. Last time it did this i changed the oil and all was good for about a month. Confussed any one know of a solution. Thanks Damo

Ok, as my car has some faults that need sorting and the gearbox could possibly be dieing aswell i had some thinking today and some conversations with my wife. I was explaining how i would like to take the car off the road and fix the auto gearbox or make it manual. Whilst i mentioned that we agreed that as i wanted to rebuild the engine next year anyway i might aswell rebuild that at the same time. So after we both finally made some agreements the new project could be starting anytime soon..... The plan will be to take the engine out of the car and store the car somewhere. I only have a standard size garage so i don't think i will be able to fit the ca…

Hello. Seriously considering buying an automatic 300zx with th intention to turn it into a manual in the future. But my problem ....... ive never drove an automatic and was wonderign exactly how.lol On the twin turbo zed, do both turbos have to kick in before it changes gear or can you change gear without the turbos coming in? Does it cost abit more cash wise on petrol if the turbos are always kicking in before changing gear? Some help please for the auto boxes out there:rofl:

Spotted ya Daz :D Today at your fav place - matalan! :rofl: Car looks nice mate - lovin the wheels :bow: Isaac :cool:

Cheers bud :bow: Thanks very much for all the advice, the help, supplying me the panels and the look around your garage ;) You really are a top bloke :D And to anyone who's never dealt with Pete, well give him a go he really is the most helpful guy I've had dealings with on this forum :D :duffer: :dance:

Was a passenger so not in my zed....looked very nice...first one ive seen in ages.!....

as you all know i have a boosting problem (atleast i think it is) however i have noticed that on every start up i get the power light flash 15 times. when driving i have noticed that third will only come in if the revs are fairly high. Fourth (overdrive) is fine .......... so far i have also tried counting the gears yesterday and i swear on numerous occasions it felt like i got 5th????! now obviously this is not fifth so something must be slipping when i bought the car it had an aftermarket gear shifter without the overdrive button..... i did find kind of think this was odd but i had presumed the older owner did not know about preserving the gear …

thinking about this for a while now, my daily drive is a new beemer 5 series and when you shut the door or go for a drive its just sounds solid :bow: now i was thinking some sound proofing/deadning would make the zed sound a little more chunky if you know what i mean :hyper: am i on the right tracks with this? doing as much as i can doors/underfloor/boot/bulkhead will this help? im sure bassologist on here sells the stuff :nana2: any thoughts gents

Just thought id share a few photos of a massive tech day held in Victoria yesterday which i attended and had a blast of a time. I was on a mission to check as many zeds with Conzult as i could. It was a bad day for knock sensor codes the silver slicktop ended up with the worst recorded figures from conzult. knock sensor code, only 1 cylinder firing properly and i think o2 sensors needed replacing. I also spent alot of the day going back and forth between socialising groups discussing all kinds of zed related stuff and what not. I unfortunately had to leave at 3pm due to work commitments.

how good is it to be back driving the zed!! this has to be the best money iv spent on the car so far, cant believe how much i like the manual box better i feel alot more safer and in control of the car alana says it scares her more now though lol much thanx to john300zx for the kit, jefftt for the speedy service on the reverse switch and james my mechanic for fitting it all. is it morning yet so i can go out and wash her and take her back out lol

I have been using the autobox diagnstics test, and i'm no expert when it comes to something like a "line pressure solenoid" or a "clutch overrun solenoid"... It's all well & good being able to identify what the fault code is, but if you are new to the car and don't know what those parts are, where they are located and what you should do next... it's as good as.... Is there anywhere that has a guide to where all the line pressure solenoids and solenoids and circuits e.t.c that are mentioned in the gearbox diag?

I pressed my switch down to make the rear wiper do a little sweep.. then the button which I pressed down gently made a click, and now it wont let me do the sweep anymore lol, it's broken!!! I'm guessing I need to pull the pod off and clip something back in?? any advice appreciated

My car is pretty much spot on in everyway, exterior, interior.. except this bloody auto gearbox which as I have mentioned in the help section. I'm debating on getting a manual conversion, but was wondering if this is really solving the problem, also what will insurance be like when they realise it's been tinkered with in way that it's no-longer an auto.. and will this affect re-sale?.. Also, I don't really want to sell the car, because of a) prices at the moment b) the auto/man conv is almost half of what the car is worth... Obviously it's fate rests in my hands (or wallet) until I decide whether it's worth keeping and restoring, or getting something else and live h…

Drove down today to drop off some more bits! I hadn't seen the car in the flesh for about 2 months and i have to say Phil has done an absolutely outstanding job with this!!!:bow: It looks like a car again and Phil has put in many hours of work!! Some more updated photo's and a couple of questions. 1. The 1 piece prop where it goes into the gearbox (2nd Picture) Does this look normal as we think it could go in further? It is an Inland Empire one if anyone else is using this as well. Just need to know if this looks normal? 2. Wiring for the neutral and reverse switches. Which of the plugs do you use to wire in a neutral switch? There are 3, which i tried…
