that really pisses me off about my car - the window mechanism keeps trying to push the window up thru the roof every now and then makes a loud clicking noise and causes the lights to dim, is there a relay dead? or a switch problem? or a motor i can buy, its like a ghost pressing the 'up' button every coupla seconds...

The TT has 2 small intercoolers as we know.. I have seen people with FMIC's.. Can you run 1 intercooler for 2 turbos?.. I don't quite understand how it works.. I presume the 1 large intercooler is probably better than 2 small ones..? can someone shed some light on this grey area for me please, cheers!

I've searched but cannot find the paint code for the mirror mounting plate, I'm sure it's on here but can't find it, does anyone have it and is it the same color as on the bumper around the indicators and side lights. cheers Paul

While the zed is off the road thought i would junk all the usual stuff AIV EGR etc. Anyway managed to bypass the EGR with the engine and gearbox in the car :nana2::dance: Not bad for a novice. btw did i say............ :nana2::dance::nana2:

I'm just thinking, the 300zx auto has a button where you can "hold" or flick it to "power" & when you press this rocker switch, the light appears on the dash telling you which has been pressed.. When you get a manual conversion.. I'm guessing the little panel which has these warning lights isn't really needed?.. what does the manual have in it's place if that is so?.. and I have looked through the auto to manual conversion on the pdf file here, but I was wondering if their is anyone here who has had an auto to manual and realised you don't have all the features you once had i.e. little lights or maybe cruise control?.. Does the manual TT have anything extra to an au…

Hi, Mine's a UK car so have the indicators and sidelights in the front with dummy corners. I actually like the indicators in the front but wonder what options I have? My real issue is that I think the plastic used on the front indicators looks dated :( Cheers Vijay

Well over the last couple of days i've been prepping and spraying my new foglight ducts. So i sprayed em at the weekend, fitted em on Wednesday, left em on Thursday to give the adhesive plenty of time to cure and today i cleaned the car and took some piccies :nana2: Really loving the look myself, i think they suit the 99 really well! And there is now even more air getting to my intercoolers :D Got rid of the foglights as i never use them and they look dated IMO. It also bugs me that they are set back and not flush with the bumper :rant: Anyway here we go :dance:

Hi all and hello, could somebody advise me of the best place to get parts?? in particular i need the steering rack mounts and clamps ( thats what the MOT tester said i need ) . your help would be massively apprieciated. cheers TIM

not at low speed tho??, in all honisty my brakes dont work... if i had to anker up on the motorway id be dead and so would others, hence im not driving it for a about a month when its in the garage having all the bodywork and the brakes done... and the gear + diff oil done and the heater matrix plumd in (bloody cold!!) so my question is do i just need new discs or are the calipurs dead?

well i have decided not to change my broken autobox for another and just to go for a manual conversion. started my new job last week so will have money again to do it lol, im looking for a shopping list of parts that i will need for my mechanic to do it, just so i can by them piece by piece rather than having to shell the lot out at the one time. also is there any other bits i should do while doing the conversion?

Hey guys Been having a bit of an issue when starting the Z . When I first start her up she runs rough as hell and one of the belts squeals too. After a few revs and driving her out of the garage she then runs and idles like normal again and also the belt stops squealing. The question is why the very rough idle on start? Is there a connection to the squealing belt, or is it just coincidental that both symptoms disappear at the same time?:confused: Any advice as always greatly appreciated. Maz :)

Ive just got a Blazt cable and i'm running it on win xp via a pci express 2 serial and have tried several of the free programs that it supports namely OBD scantech, Datascan, and ecutalk, the comport is installed ok but the only program that works properly is ecutalk this displays all the gauges properly in real time no delays or anything but when i try to use scantech or datascan when it queries it just seem to either load the cpu to 100% or quit completely. So this tells me that the com port is working fine if ecutalk can get data ok but i cannot workout whats going wrong with the other 2 programs obviously i dont want to fork out for a datascan licence if it wont …

Hello. I was just wondering if someone can clear somethign up for me? The 350z do you get them as a 4 seater or is it as i thought, just 2 seats? cheers craig

I'm going to give my car a mop so that I can see just how good/ bad the paint work really is. I've got a clarke polisher but was wondering what you'd recommend for a cutting compound? Is ordinary coloured T cut ok? I've not done it before but Edd China on wheeler dealers makes it look easy lol. All I really know about it is to keep the mop wet to avoid burning the paint.
