Hiya chaps, pretty numb question really, but, can the rear crank oil seal (gear box end) be changed without droppin the sump? Is it just a case of pulling the old one out and popping a new one in? Cheers....

Saw you coming round the roundabout near the hospital. Your passenger waved. Looks like you were heading into the town.

Hi both of my electric windows have stopped working. Ive checked fuse under bonnet which also works power seats and it is fine. Ive had little black box out and all seems fine, but im getting no power supply to it. Is they another fuse? Or can someone please tell me which wire to the black box is the live feed, so i can run a feed to it and try see if windows work then.

Anyone here?

Hello! After a bit of help! In the last week or so the z has been running a bit iffy. From start up, after about 2 minutes of driving, it will start to struggle at low revs, juddering a bit. At this point, it runs fine if I stay about 2,500rpm. However, after about 5 minutes of it having a mare, all is well again, and it does not struggle at low revs. Until next time I go for a drive. Any ideas what could be causing this? I've just changed the spark plugs and air filters yesterday to see if that made any different, but no. Only thing I did notice is the "mesh" on the MAF has seen better days, and needs replacing. Could this be the problem? Thank y…

hi once again, i have just put everything back together after fitting a replacement autobox. I went to start it and it will not turn over - lights are on inside the car and have checked battery voltage at 12.9v so its not the battery flat - i have checked all fuses and there ok - i was so careful when removing and putting everything back as not to do disturb anything. I have checked the earth strap at the top of the bellhousing and thats fitted and tight. The only issue i had with the new auto box were the wiring loom had been cut - i used my loom off the old box and reconnected all the wires and did a continuity check to test the new coonections and all seems fine …

Hi all my car is a nightmare to fill up with petrol as it keeps cutting the pump off, its like the petrol is'nt going down fast enough is this normal. Also out of interest whats a stock TT do top end. thanks.

but i want amber fog lights - how where:wack:

Ok guys and gals, a strange one this........ After a stretch of motorway driving today (not unduly fast I might add), I was sat in a queue at traffic lights in Edinburgh. The windows were open and I got a waft of what smelt very like freshly laid tar. This isn't the first time that this has happened and on both occasions there were no roadworks nearby. :confused: Clutching at straws but .....are the cats sooo hot that they're causing a reaction in the road surface whilst the Zed is stationary? Looking forward to your thoughts - Andy

Hers one for you Si as I cant find it via search. A few months ago there was a thread going about Unos paintwork on his car. The one with a black roofbonnet etc like Jimmy's and it had been photoshopped to carry the line on the top of the wings as well. Anyone have that pic or a link to the thread? Mike

Seems they are getting common and no one will probably reply to this post, but there was a black Z with high spoiler following a 350z out of morrisons, and a white Z on the lincoln bypass. Anyone on here? Just passing through?

:mad:Bit of a problem hope somone can help here goes, last week end I changed the oil,oil filter and spark plugs my zed is a tt jdm so I got a set of PFR6B-11C plugs the plugs I took out were PFR6B-11 which I thought were for a NA zed anyway after fitting the new plugs the zed started to hesitate if you accelerated hard took all the plugs out checked them over and put them in again but still no better so today I put the old plugs back in and the zed drives perfect. Can someone tell me if I got the wrong plugs or are they the right plugs but could be faulty all advice welcome

For those that are interested, I finally got the car back today :hyper::hyper: Teaser pic, I have 80+ of the build in various stages which will be posted in due course Still loads of odds and ends to sort out before it's on the road
