heya, went out to my Z today in minus 5, started it up and left it running to heat it up, started fine and sounded fine apart from a slightly squeeky belt. got it 2 minutes down the road and the hicas, battery, abs and lights warning lights all came on, pulled in and the car started acting up, wasnt firing properly and kept trying to stall. decided to go straight home and on my way the temp gauge started to rise, thankfully got it home fine and switched off, there were alot of bubbling noises other weird noises coming from it and a small drip of fluid from around the filler.....anyone have any ideas what has happened??? any help welcome...hate seeing the Z unhappy!! cheer…

Had a Toad AI 606 fitted today to get my insurance down and on a classic policy. When the guy was fitting it he found a black box wired to the ignition and an extra lock assister on door. Turns out after I looked on the net to be a remote autostart. I never had a keyflob for this so got him to take it out as they don't comply with Thatcham CAT 1 either apparently the guy said as they are seen as a weakness. pretty good alarm though £285 fitted remote locking , anti hyjack immob etc here's a pic of the offending remote autostarter

I have read that these fit with a little modding but what model or year primera is actually used ???????? Ta !

Been looking for fabric to recover my door cards, boot build and possibly my front seats and I came across this, anyone used this before. wondered how it holds up to wear and tear, and fading? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=280289445937

Does it still work ok or need turning off? If not how do you do it?

This may seem a bit of a silly question but where is the best place to purchase a new fuel filter? cheers guys

Just finished putting the interior back together after fitting the new dials and staint thing really happy with the results Pauls help was invaluable as my patience level is very low LOL

Could this be just condensation? No white on dipstick and this morning is very chillie, not using water and runs fine, I do get a lot of white steam in the mornings, but I assume this is normal.

Honest advice needed on this please folks. My clutch has just started slipping slightly, at the higher rev end of 3rd and 4th in my UK Manual. I want to replace the complete clutch kit, but go for an uprated one, due to possible mods in power in the future. Looking at threads alot state RPS is the way to go, but some have had issues. Whats the best to go for and will involve the least hassle with bleeding etc.? While box is out, what else is worth doing as more of a maintenance side, oil seal, prop bearing etc? Cheers Stu

Nice little Skyline GTR RB26 vs 300zx VG30 comparison http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=93232 Near identical modifications, same tuner. The VG has over 300 ib/ft MORE torque !

Hey all has anyone had their front seat belts replaced? My passenger side one is getting a bit saggy so I'm keen to fix it. Mine is a series one car with the belts in the door. Anyone know where I can get some replacements? I'm keen on getting new ones if I can rather than second hand ones. Cheers

evening all can anyone tell why on a jap import the rear fog lights have to be operated by an after market switch? where are the rear fog switches on uk cars? thanks

As the title says, "Thank You" :bow: Tonight, I just fixed my inoperative Drivers window. :D Thanks to this huge database of help and information, I was able to remove my door card (eventually), remove and re-solder the window module connections and get my window working. :dance: It would have been a lot harder without all the information available on this forum, so thanks to all who contributed to the relevant articles. Now, I've only to buy new door card clips and I'll get the whole lot back together again. Next item on the list - Headlight washers are inop. :(

Just had a thought about when I was insuring mine...... I use Endsleigh and I told her it was a 300 zx tt import ..... ooooh we don't do imports.... oh hang on is the the same as a Nissan Fairlady ? Yes says me it's one of those because that's what they were called in Japan.... Oh that's alright then says she, it's on my list, must be because they were available both here and in Japan lol Been isured with them for nearly two years, those who know me know about the stupid woman who reversed into me in the car park..... Insurance paid out for a new wing etc and got the legal assistance working on it, got a full payment from the other insurers without an…

Hi I'll be looking for some new wheels in the New Year and really fancy these. Seen a lot of talking of 18" and 19" fitting with no problem but what about these 20" monsters. Love that deep dish look on the rears. Would they fit my standard UK TT un-lowered or higher model? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140283150535&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:Watchlink:middle:uk

My car is in Swindon and i would like to have the old Clifford alarm removed and a new alarm installed. It is a Clifford avantgaurd 2 i believe which has autostart. The car is now being converted to a manual and i dont know how the autostart function will behave with that. Can anyone reccomend a company or individual that can carry out this work? The car is basically a bare shell so access to the wiring is not an issue! I also have a Toad Ai606 alarm which is still connected to the wiring loom from my old Z. This alarm was basically new and it would be ideal if i could get it removed from the loom which is sitting in a box at present! Any ideas?

If this would work on the Z. Even does MPG.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ScanGauge2-Trip-computer-fuel-meter-scan-tool-gauge_W0QQitemZ120322867336QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item120322867336&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

can anyone tell me which plug and therefore whice wires are for the front fogs. Can i then connect my rear fogs into this switch Cheers

Right, now that I have had the car for nearly a week (and done 600 miles in it) I have started to uncover some minor niggles. With it being that time of year, I am using the heater quite a lot, I have noticed that I have 2 options when selecting the fan speed, it is either off or full whack (No 4). Will this be a connection issue (maybe a dismantle and clean) or do I need to replace the switch??
