Hi all, just insured my zed tt and upon taking it out for a test drive. the car stalls when breaking and at low speeds. also smokes a little on idle possibly a pcv valve fault? what do i check?

Hi, hoping that someone can help please. I am by no means an engineer or mechanic, I love my ZX but don't tinker with it. Started up fine on Suinday, but just tried this afternoon (Friday) and all I get is what's best described as a "light mechanical clicking" sound when I try to turn the engine over. All the ignitions lights are on as they should be. Please, anyone any ideas ? Thanks 1996 SWB TT

Parked up at tesco car park, Barhill just before ten last night. Had supra rear lights fitted, Left my card. Anyone seen it?

I have recently had a 4 wheel laser align and my wheels balanced. I know my prop bearing needs to be replaced soon as that gives me a little shake through the drivers seat between 40-50 mph, but I am noticing a shake through the steering wheel which is something else. I have had enough zeds with knackered prop bearings to know what that feels like -and this isn't that kind of vibration. It almost feels like a buckled wheel (but I have just had them all balenced). I don't do mental breaking to warp a disc - I'm baffled. Anyone got any ideas. It is most noticeable at an indicated 75mph (only doing 70mph according to gps officer before you tell me off for speeding). …

Hi, I'm new here, looking for a possibility to buy a 91-95 300zx TT. I'm French, I moved to California for 1-2 years. Does anybody here knows enough about Maserati biturbo (biturbo/Ghibli/Quattroporte IV) to compare them with 300zx TT ? Handling, performance, maintenance, strong/weak points. For everyday usage and possibly track days. I own a 430 18v boosted to 300hp, I left it in France. I do all the mechanical work myself. If I had a 300zx I'd do all the maintenance by myself as well. Thank you

My new rear centre light panel arrived today. Its the standard Nissan one that lights up green. There is about one metre of cable with two huge block connectors at the end (1 female & 1 male) I presume these bridge some connection somewhere, correct? Where do I plug them into? Cheers, Dan

Im shocked to find that the price for a jap imported windscreen for the 300 is £1800 and may have to wait up to 8 weeks for delivery! Glad im getting it tho my insurance as i would never of payed that:mac1:

got a quote from carol nash was good. Forgot to add the mods. Will phone them for a requote.problem is I want classic it's an import and slightly modded. who else would insure in this bracket?

am i the first casualty of the cold snap? lost it on the last corner before work and ploughed into a fence :cry: damage doesnt look to bad on the surface. 99spec bumper a bit scuffed & doesnt quite line up with o/s wing looks like the bar behind the bumper is damaged o/s wheel arch scuffed now the bad part... car wont rev over 3k and wont go faster than say about 25mph hiccuping/spluttering keeps cutting out when trying to pull away car is a UK TT Auto. what do you think could be the matter? garage cant look at it till wednesday, so would like a rough idea to what the problem might be... just means the TVR will be my e…

as above how do you take the front bumper off?

As above are there any differences between :confused:between UK and Jap Z32 TT auto gearboxes?

Blue I think? Saw you about 9:00 heading south. Did I spot that you were de-spoliered?

ive removed the re-circ PIPE from the standard valves, so the actuater pipe is still conected on the top, and the actual valve is still connected to the large pipe. is this the same as a dump valve now? is it venting to atmoss? or is the noise i can hear "goose honk/pigeon" and the recirc is doing nothing at all?

under heavy braking a high pitched squealing noise from under dash checked the threads here and found funkysi had same problem (funkysi when online can you tell me how you got it fixed) is it hard to fix or replace and were is it plus my brake warning light lights up when i brake no brake lights are out and brake fluid is full so is it related to the brake booster any advise welcome.

Saw this on E-bay.
