For the last week or so I have been hunting around for some Targa bags and missed out on Flebay. Yesterday whilst getting my scissor jack out (for a perticular tyre fitter :mac1:) I found 2 in with the spare wheel....:dance: saved me a few quid and a 'oh crap whats this in my boot' moment.

:(I'm looking to sell my 92 uk tt manual 160k miles loads & loads of service history and the only real problem is the tailgate could do with some tlc. mot'd & taxed until feb 09 i would stick 12 mot on it. What price's are these selling for at the moment before I make a decision on selling? The only reason i'm asking is my company car is up for renewal and i would like to buy it in lieu of my Z. Thanks in advance for your advice guy's.

my zed has developed a squeek, not dissimilar to a duck on heat, its so loud i can hear it in the car with the stereo turned up (believe me its turned up as i try to ignore all the looks of people saying look at thet idiot in his big fancy car that sounds like a randy duck) anyway back on topic, it is coming from the front left suspension, it happens on any uneven road, pot holes, drain covers, speed bumps, or if i bounce up and down on the front left wing. i recently had new front tension rods which werent as hassle free as i hoped and i'm wondering if they are still at fault, i also have bigger front brakes. so finally getting to my question: is this a t…

high level rear spoiler, i think a single exit exhaust, big wheels... i wasnt in the zed but you drove past me on the A120 eastbound. was it you?

I like the ride I have with my Z which as far as I know is standard. But I do fancy lowering it. I have read all of your views on whether it's right or wrong. But never the less I may have to find ouy for myself sometime. But it dose seam expensive for the full job. So I wondered for an entry level to fit lowered springs but not with a hard ride. I also come on this on ebay and you have to admit it's cheap. But is it any good? Any views are welcome. Thanks. follow link. cgi.ebay.co.uk/90-96-Nissan-300ZX-Skyline-R32-Low-Springs-Coilovers

Might it just need tracking or could it be camber? It's a 65,000 mile car on original suspension and after market 18" wheels.

has just learnt to move quick when im drifting the car park lol :x: t'was like a bloody ice ring this morning - weeeeeeeeee!

Some of you may know that a few of us did a reconstuction day for the police regarding handling of a 300zx TT today, although it was for a coroners report as unfortuately the bloke driving killed himself we re constructed some manovers for them to try and determind what happened etc... Just wanted to say I had a fantasic day with great company(even the coppers, they were top blokes & camera woman). I think we learnt a few things on the tests we did and the police got the results needed. We did have fun also and I'm sure there will be a few pics up soon, and a copy of the video once edited after report is concluded. Nice to meet Nick32z in person, top blok…

was wondering if anyone has a new or second hand manual gearbox and relevant associated parts and how much they would cost? possible fitting costs aswell if available ( but probably going to fit myself ).

Going to remove complete air con system due to weight saving and was wondering if i will need to get a new smaller belt or does it have its own and are there any other problems i will encounter?

I know the oil pressure gauge in the dash is really bad but what is normal for it to stay at? Mine can go from 25 at times and when i put the heaters on it will go to around 50 :S???? Also what does your car idle at when it is fully heated up? Mines currently having fun from 300 to 800 and trying to stable idle, if i turn heaters on it will go to 1100 and hold fine. But if i turn heaters off and slow down at a junction sometimes it will completely stall. I ran a consult and it came up code 54 (i have a chipped auto ECU inside the car and my car is manual). Also i cant go over 6K rpm, i have been told this could be loads of things, but the last ptu died a w…

Hi Team, I've a 1990 TT and I've just stripped the engine. My question is the plug was missing from the knock sensor so I've repaired the wires and just put a single small "lucar" connector. I say single because although 2 wires come from the top the black wire folds up and is taped in against itself. Is this right or should 2 wires go to the sensor? If it has just one wire which side does it goto as you look at the sensor? Any ideas? regards, Jase

Hi I have just bought my first zx today its a twin turbo model. The seller told me before I bought the car that it was not boosting, this didn't put me off too much as it was a bit of a bargain. However I obviously want to try and sort the problem out and was wondering if anybody has any ideas of what is the likley cause or any checks I can do to try and diagnose the fault. Any help would be great :)

wont to swap my rear end for the na to de hycas and inprove performence?

if i floor my car in first (possibly hitting the limiter) the engine seems to flood, it misses and basically takes a while to get back to normal, im asuming its floding somehow, or could it possibly be a coilpack breaking down under load, only seems to do it when i floor it in first then go into second gear any ideas
