hey guys, i know this question has been asked a million times before, but i can't seem to find any answers to my problem. I did an ecu error check and it came back with the faulty coolant sensor code (13 i think!). i've tried cleaning the connectors and terminals but doesn't seem to have made any difference. would this cause idling issues? when i start the car from cold, it idles at just shy of 1500rpm then after a while of driving goes down to just below 1000rpm. if i stop the car for a couple of minutes then start it back up, it can idle anywhere between 1500-2000rpm! it'll sit like that for a good while before it eventually settles back down to somewhere near the 1000r…

I will hopfully be looking into some new parts for the z soon: -Driftworks Hicas Eliminator Kit with hicas blocked off -Spring and dampers -Adjustable front tension rods -New Front and rear discs, pads and hoses (Standard size EBC?) -New tyres all round But i need some advice on the springs and dampers part, What other bits do i need to go abit lower?, 30mm is ok for me, doesnt need to be adjustable. And would Stiffer anti-roll bars be a major difference over standard? Im on a budget so i dont need to know about the over the top mods

Gave you a wave as I went by on my GSXR. You had custom taillights, two round lens on each side. Car looked great in the sunshine!

car is going back into the bodyshop soon to get the last few things done, when i got it painted i had hok red ice put in it but isnt really that noticeable, how big a job would it be to get the metal flake done again? do i need a bigger size flake or more flakes? aslo how much do you recon it would cost for this?

Picked up my Z yesterday from Darren at D2, complete with history including the page from autotrader when he bought it in 2000 and the original Titanium Key! :hyper: Here she is, needs a bit of work cosmetically but runs sweet: Paul

How old were you guys/girls when you bought your first Zed? I don't know if this thread has already been created, but if it has who cares?

ive just bought a pair of headlights and a pair of indicators on ebay for £2 with £25 postage. and am very pleased with my purchase:dance:

Just a quick question, if i remove the badge from the nose panel will there be holes left?? I've seen 'smoothed' panels for sale and dont want to fork out for one if all i have to do is remove the badge. Thaaaaaaaank you. Bradley

WAs just wondering today about how long i will have my zed for. As it doesnt owe me anything i wouldnt be in any hurry to get rid of it. So my thoughts where on if i could picture myself having the car for basically the rest of its life. As now adayds you cant get a performance car for the kind of money a zed is. Was just wondering how long you guys reckon use will have yours.

Does anyone have any info, ie: dates & prices on this years scumrun, know i probably wasting my time asking here but can't find anything anywhere else.

95 n/a man/ got fuel /turns over fine:hyper: started and drove perfecly last night before i start to check the plugs extra is there a common prob i could look at first

Could anyone tell me if putting 95 in tank instead of the usual 99 could be causing my terribly low and rough idle (about 400-500rpm)?

Spotted a Black LWB TT to night attempting to dounut in the rain over a local car park in Basildon. I went out with a mate of mine in his Scooby tonight as im on call this week and couldnt go out on the piss. Well after watching the Zed in the car park and getting ripped to pieces by my mates! My mate done his bit in his Scooby aswell. after finishing a guy came over and said I would check your tyres as alot of nails had been thrown on the floor hours before hand! So not only is there nails flying around the place most of the cars will have puntures.:cry: I know its not the right thing to do with any car or car park but how stupid is it to throw nails on …

As the title, have done a search but theres conflicting sizes :mac1: Any one know what the correct sizes are for front and rear?? cheers

I got a set off some punto or other, the only problem it that it's for low beam and fog, is there anyway I can use the fog as high beam? maybe changing bulbs or doing something to the lens?

Just got myself a TT 300. But 2 problems are after coming up, firstly a loud squeek coming from the front suspension, thinking it could be the upper swingarm as it seems to be coming from that area and its a common fault in other nissans like almeras. Anyone had the same prob and if so is it just a case of biting the bullet and paying main dealer prices for the part? Secondly the steering is after getting a notchy feel to it, its allmost like a quarter of a turn is stiff and da next free and so on. Thats about the best I can discribe it. Sometimes seems to be worse than others. Checked the fluid levels and they seem fine. My mate had the exact same prob on a NA 300 b…

Hi all, As most of you will know i currently have a UK TT but am swapping bits across to the Jap shell. Hopefull getting it back this week by the way:) Does anyone know what bits I should make sure that I swap and what the advantage of of UK bits are? Lists will do lol

Not that bothered as the Evo has never been a car I've ever wanted despite its amazing mechanicals. What's nice to see is that our own KarlosG even has a crap opinion of them. http://www.lancerregister.com/showthread.php?t=175336&highlight=300zx Was just looking for the Momo steering wheel as fitted to the Evo3.

think this is the same car that someone put a link up for an autotrader ad for £650 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300-ZX-TWIN-TURBO-1994-AUTO-GREY-CONVERTABLE_W0QQitemZ120360911100QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item120360911100&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A7%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318
