Done the AT check just now and got one long flash and 9 blinks = engine revoution center circuit fault. No idea what this is.. bad good? expensive to fix?:(

Hi i am interested in buying a second hand exhaust system for a 300zx twin turbo standard system if thats possible. does anyone have one for sale.?

I'm struggling with a few pipes on the engine that I'm building up, basically the car came in bits and so far we have then engine in, but theres a few pipes I just need identifying if someone could please help? :o First of all theres a rubber hose which comes out off either side behind the timing cover (red arrow): also on the second picture, there are two small hoses (green and blue arrows) that go into a metal tube each, on a single bracket which bolts to the side of the head. At the back of the engine they appear to go to EGR solenoid, or that area? But where do they go to at the front? Finally, I seem to be missing the fuel pipework from th…

I realise they are expensive but I think they look soooooooo cool !!! As a 'Nissan' part are they a straight swap for the 300ZX using the same brakets that one might use for a Skyline setup for example ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/INFINITI-NISSAN-SPORT-BIG-BRAKE-KIT-FOR-G35-G37-2007-UP_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a2096Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem29fdaf3681QQitemZ180349777537QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ebayphotohosting Mark

Hi folks hoping someone can help me here, as my cars currently off the road having an engine re-build after heater matrix fail and head gaskets going pop:(, i thought i'd strip and prep the body to paint it soon, but basically i've found out you can't remove the door cards with the windows up, my car is minus a dash and engine etc, so any ideas how to get my windows down? i'm assuming with so many things unplugged etc that there's a gap in the system as i've tried just hooking the battery up but they won't go down, i do hear a couple of clicks from where dash would be,assuming they're relays. if anyone can help it'd be appreciated! thanks Ryan

Black Strosek Wide Arch UK TT spotted at Blackmoor service station. Lovely looking car, or will be when it's in one piece LOL. Bad news is, your front brakes are too big for the very nice wheels mate.:eek:

Clutch Pedal getting increasingly more difficult to press in. Getting hissing noise from under the dash. Any ideas?

Can anyone recommend a good cover for the Z, REALLY bored of washing it every 4 days due to tree sap. Cheers

Hey guys, my cig lighter is not attached at all, it was all taped up, Ive taken the centre console bit off where the gear nob is but their is no plug their to plug onto it, it looks as though the wiring has been used for something else. Also their is a 4 pin plug left hand side towards the back of where the centre console is, what is this for, i have put the plug back in but nothing seems to have changed, im not sure if it used to be an auto, could this have anything to do with it? Any ideas why my arial isn't working? Thanks

Please i need help,was driveing the car 2day just cruising, and had a nice clear road ahead of me so i says why not and put the foot down,so the foot went down dropped gear and away she went but on reaching the top of her revs the gears didnt change and the revs just stayed high as poss untill i took the foot of the throttell,now i new this was not right at all,so i slowed her down,and things seemed fine,then i was driveing threw a town and notice that my car was not changing gears prop i.e pull away first fine second fine then as slowley increase speed revs go up but car doesnt increase in speed,as if the gears were not ingageing, and now it does this all the time,now iv…

Hi guys I done a relocation today in the same place as the youtube video shows left the bat off all night to reset the ecu the thing is even tho the car feels faster i think it still is safe boost. how can you tell if it is or not in safe boost?

Saw a grey J plate zed in fleet yesterday as I picking mine up from it's winter rest. looked standard. Was a lady driving! Was it you?!

Hi all i am planning on buying a 2nd hand turbo, is there any other cars i could pull the t25 off, or are they all different, also where is the 2nd intercooler, i can only see one & thats in front of the rad. thanks

Well i'am sorry to say it but the old zed is on ebay. I am back to sea in a couple of weeks and i just dont have the storage space anymore, its a shame, but thats the way it has to be. never mind maybe i'll get another one a good few months down the line, i'll miss the old girl, thats if she sells ofcourse.

Spotted a silver one broken down on the A46 Tuesday night 1 at The Garage Door Company at about 10am this morning. Black with big exhausts. And last but not least a pearl white one on the A47 near Leicester Forest East. Best day spotting I've had for ages!!!! Ivan

Saw it traveling towards Cardiff on the A470 at about 9:15 Very nice car with no spoiler

*****x. Only had them on a couple of weeks. Pulled out of a juntion too fast in the wet, back end spun around and slammed me sideways into the curb on the opposite side of the road. Other than the scuffed alloys is there anything else i should check after such a collision? Car seems to drive fine and in a straight line but ya can never be sure with these things. Hit the curb pretty hard sideways.

Hi Guys, just wondering if any of you have had dealings with Z-Autos. I am looking for someone to do my Manual conversion and Nottingham isn't far from me. Are they well experienced with the 300zx? And have you had good dealings with them? Cheers in advance!:duffer:

Anyone had this before? The explanation mark in a circle light is on when handbrake is applied, but doesnt go out when handbrake is off, the light only goes dim. It did this this morning and I stopped car and restarted and all went ok, but every other time today it has just gone dim. Fluids are fine? Any ideas? cheers :)
