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

Hi all, The Zed was running ok last week, I unfortunately left the interior light on and flattened the battery :slap: Recharged it, (off car), went to start up and she wouldn't fire up. Cranking well and trying to fire up but never actually getting there. There is a strong smell of petrol, so I think that I may have flooded her. Given that weather conditions up here are pretty cold and damp, am I best removing all the plugs and drying them out or hoping that they will dry out themselves in situ? Thanks in advance

Hello!!! Now I have received the downpipes and AEM wideband, and I need to know where put the wideband..I attact some pics... GRACIASSSS

just chucking around a few ideas. such as buying a tt block and upgrading the internals with high compression na pistons skimmed heads ported and flowed heads. which is stronger a tt block or an na block :p

still trying to sort my headlight fault, i think there should be an earthwire by the relay box, however on mine its not there? where should this wire go to? as i explained in a previous thread, my headlights are playing up, one is dim, the other is ok, i have checked the bulbs and they are fine, i also checked the relays, i pulled both relays out and tried swapping them around, both relays seem to be ok as they ok in one of the relay sockets but not the other! any ideas??? hope this all makes sense!

hi got bit of a problem with the glass in my front doors.The tops of the glass could do with been pulled in a few mm if possible as there is a slight gap on the top corner of both doors!any help much appreciated!

hey just wondering which oil would be best for my 300zx tt auto?

Well after covering a stupid amount of miles in the last couple of weeks. Have yet another week were I will be driving the Zed a lot. So Sudbury - Derbyshire to Bracknell on Monday then off to Colechester Colchester to Tunbridge Wells then Tunbridge Wells to Sudbury - Suffolk on Tuesday Wednesday Sudbury - Suffolk back to Sudbury Derbyshire.... :dance: It's excellent being able to drive most of the week and get my fuel paid for (can't wait for the tax return :nana2:).

just intested to know if anyone knows precisely how much petrol is left in the tank when the low fuel indicator starts to glow?..its always a good thing to know!

still having trouble with my headlights, want to check the relays but they are quite hard to pull out and im worried about braking something, is there a knack to pulling them out?

been meaning to investigate my car key a bit more for ages now just got round to it. b4 i got it it was kept as the spare key but i have used it as my main one since i owned it. on the top it says 'takeo kikuchi driving' and has a TK symbol on it. anyone got one of these or know anything about it?

Small (3mm) thin piece of insulator from spark plug went down the hole into the chamber. Any ideas for getting it out? What are the odds of a cockup if I just fire up and see if it goes out with the exhaust? Thanks.

I am not interested in max bhp figures, but I do think I have comfortably outgrown my 300 -350bhp having run stockish TT's for 5 years. I've had induction kits, exhaust, ecu and 1mm boost jets before (I'm guessing maybe 350bhp?) What is the most useable power you can have in a TT ans still have an everyday usuable car with lots of torque and little lag and still keep a good idle? Oh and what needs to be on the shopping list?

2 quick questions, the demister on my rear window has never worked since ive had the car apart from 2 small 2p sized sections in really random parts of the glass, ive read rear windows for a uk will fit imports and are half the price if bought brand new, is this correct and where would i get one, do i just call nissan and get them to order one?? second question is i cant get my car to blow warm air through the vents, what is this likly to be, ive seen something about a heater matrix which i might have a go at swapping over with one off a breaker, anything else i would need to check for?? cheers

Hi guys just a quick one! My zed is almost ready but yesterday I removed my battered water logged spoiler with a view to replacing it , however I like the look of the back end without it! I've seen a panel on zcentre to fill the gap but was wondering how the handling will be affected. How much downforce do they produce and if I remove it do I need to add a diffuser or splitter to make up for it! Any advice is most appreciated cheers!

Im trying to source the bulb connectors for the fog lights in my Lambo lights. Tried Zcentre but cant get any response. Can anyone help?
