Can anybody tell me what revs the gear changes happen, and maybe how many revs till it bites, and any other info to do with gear changes on an auto, during normal driving? (i.e. not flooring it, just driving about) I'm not sure if mine is right or not, it seems sometimes if I have it about 3000 rpm an 2nd, it just seems to rev and not get any faster at all, if i back off the throttle and then start again but a little more aggressive, it drives proper... Fluid level is correct... Does anyone have a TT auto near Bolton who fancies taking me out for a spin, as I have nothing to compare it to, never driven or been in one before! :-)

Just got a few more pictures today:dance::dance::dance: [/img] :nana2::bow::bow:

Seen this on ebay, thought its pritty cheap, pitty about the rear lights, dont like them http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO-MUNUAL-LWB_W0QQitemZ140294317373QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item140294317373&_trksid=p3913.c0.m22

Car works great bud, nice and strong again. Ill be back soon for the other work suggested. Thanks again Pete

Picked up my perspex strip today. Once i got it home opened it all up, and it looks as if it has the brake light in it, but i hav e no bulbs or wiring etc. What i was thinking is........does the strip without the brake light come with a reflector as to where the light would be as this is what it looks like it could be. cheers

I know this isn't the right place to put this, but I really need one ASAP, and maybe not everyone looks in the Items wanted section! So here goes... :bow: I'm after just the right hand side top pipe, from the IC to the throttle body intake. My other three are mint, but for some reason this one has fell apart, on the underneath, and I sneakily predict it is the cause of my strange idle problem and the cutting out etc. I know the best route is get a set of nice new shiny chrome ones, but coinage is a bit of an issue at the moment! Have a rummage about folks, someone'll have one lying around!

Hi When i started my car 2 days ago it seemed as tho it ran out of petrol so i got more petrol then went to start it but it just keeps turning over i checked if there was a spark but it hasent got a spark on any of the coils i have changed the PTU, coils, plugs checked the ecu for codes but it just flashes code 55 could someone please help?

Anyone know the best harness for an old school bucket seat, as it aint got any holes in the seat for it to run though. Dont think i've explained it right, like a 3, 4 point harness. Dont want to have to keep picking it up off the floor as I think thats whats gonna happen?

Been trying for a bit now to add a pic to my profile with no success, tried to re-size to 80 by 80 17kbit comes up with upload failed. Also tried photo bucket link still will not insert pic, comes up with same thing upload failed! HELP!!!!!!!!!

How do they compare to drive? I always hark on about wanting a swb over my estate version but iv never actually driven a swb... does it cruise as well down the motorways? What are your general opinions on the pros and cons of both? ps... whos gonna let me have a blast in their shortie?

I think Apache has done this mod to his Z. It's been a good many years since I had a car that had interior lights that went off as soon as the door was closed. How hard is it to retro fit a time delay relay or whatever they are to a Z? Easy job or a PITA? I'd like it linked to the ignition barrel as I'd like to have that illuminated too.

done a serch and it's not my friend tonight, neeed to know if the Wheel studs on the 300zx are the same as the ones on an FTO, kindly been offered 10 by a member and need to check the fitment. Many thanks Neil

Hey chappies, as some of you may remember, I have not been able to get my stock boost gauge working, it sits at the bottom all the time, and doesn't jump to the middle when ya turn the ignition on, and until managed to replace my code 34 with a 55 (woohoo) it wasn't doing anything.... Now, it seems to measure boost fine, but not vacuum, it sits at the bottom and shoots up fine when there is boost. The dial face on it is a Mines one, but starts at 0.4 Kg/CM2 and goes up to 1.4 and does not have negative boost/vacuum on it. Has anyone seen this before? Like I said, as a boost gauge it works perfectly, strange?

Hey hey, I'm happy! :dance: I managed to get rid of that damn code 34 and now have tons of boost, power and an oh so sweet whistle when I plant my right foot, it's only taken me about a month to solve... I relocated a new dett. sensor, still 34, tried a 1 meg resistor, still 34... Oh, I bet anyone famililar with my problem is itching to know how I fixed it, well, I ain't gonna tell ya, it's far too embarrasing :x: :x: :x:

Was out a run in the z tonight and i ended up just coming straight home as my window wipers where doing my F*{:x:*{* head in!!lol. Going to guess i should have them replaced, what use think? The squeeky was really p***ing me off. If so for replacing them what size are the window wipers?

Right! Petrol cap flap thingy? Does it use a cable when you press on lever to flip it open? If it does how do I adjust it? mine takes ages to get it open and I need to rest something heavy on lever and flip it open by hand. :)

Just saw a 1991 Zed on Autotrader for £695. Says its running well etc. Even for a NA that is chicken feed pricing.

I just got an offer to part ex my car with a Hilux Monster !!! Not sure I've got this right but isn't that one beast of a 4 x 4 ?

Vid when trying to track down missfire. Sounds a bit rubbish as running on 5 but you can hear the difference between the 2 exhaust modes.
