Hello all, I noticed that my heater was getting a bit cold when it should be warm the other day and had to top radiator up but dident think much of it so I went out last night parked up, got out and noticed a small trail of water, looked under the zed and noticed a water leak from driver side? There is a red breather pipe hanging down but the leak is next to it? Im hoping its not the water pump? this was replaced 5000miles ago with the full service but I asked my mate to fit a genuine one but he dident! if anyones had a similar leaks in this place any advice would be great??? Iv got very little time to sort it today my 18month daughters ill so cant do alot till she sleep…

I just came across this and thought it may be of use to people with overfuelling issues.. In this tutorial we look at the actuators and components that affect the vehicle's exhaust emissions when the electronically controlled fuel injection system is found to be overfuelling. http://www.picoauto.com/tutorials/emissions-components-actuators.html

I think the time has come to change the cambelt / timing belt on my tt Z. Im in Stoke on Trent and dont mind travelling to have this done. Anybody got anywhere in mind they can recommend, with a rough idea of cost too. Cheers fellow zedeers, Dan

i have the bi-xenons, took me 2 hours to fit as its on my GTO so i had to take out the pop lights and replace them with Dan's awesome xenons, ive had them for about two months no problems at all, and high beam comes on instantly. pic of GTO without xenons Pic of my GTO with xenons. difference against a wall there may be a group buy on another forum with Dans xenons if anyone here wants to sort one out. thanks Again Dan.

When upgrading ic's does this raise boost in any way or can you just do a straight swop without changing anything like fuel/timing etc? or will this be an instant performance gain?

Can anybody tell me if you can fit a thermostatic sandwich plate on a stainless top rad hose?.......if so any pics :dance:

Hi all, Can anyone help me please:headvswal Im having trouble fitting the tubs on my nearly complete engine. Its really pi$$ing me off and have given up with the project at the moment. I have GT28rs with Greg dupree manifolds and HKS actuators Here is a few pics any ideas are welcome:bow: Cheers Dan

heya everyone, ive just registered as i bought a TT a few weeks ago and am so far enjoying my project. Have owned so far a tuned civic, an mr2 and a supra non turbo but this one i fell in love with the quickest. my first question (of many) is this.... my headlights are crap, ive noticed that there are lots of complaints along the same lines. had them checked by a garage today to find out why they are so dull and was told the electrics are fine and that i will need to change the actual headlight units as he thought the reflective-ness has melted away... someone suggested in another thread that they could just need cleaned out.. can i gain my light back by cleanin…

car is curently boosting at around 6psi which i gather is safety boost, im going to do a ecu check when i get a chance if that comes up clear is the next step checking for boost leaks? if so how would i go about this?

Was wondering if anyone has these and if they was any good? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-200sx-S13-S14-R32-R33-300ZX-C-Bushes-Collars_W0QQitemZ350128706172QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item350128706172&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

Who has these fitted? Show me your pics and fitting locations thanks. Im looking at buying (yes more spending) some omp seats with harnesses. Im thinking i can strap them to the original front inside belt bolt(tranmission tunnel) and then to the rear seat belt locations, but what will i do about the outside strap? mine is jap spec and its on the door ggrrrrrr. Does anyone happen to know if there is a hole or bolt location on that side i could use? Or do i have to weld a plate and nut there? One other thing, who has omp seats fitted? where did you get brackets from or did you have to fabricate some?

i got these lights off of a mate for free today but they dont fit into my headlights does anybody know where i can get the correct bulbs that will fit my car and the wiring from the unit or is there a conversion for the actual head light its self???

I came across the following link when I was thinking about eventually changing my stock intercoolers. It may be useful to anybody considering doing likewise. It may not have all brands but it covers quite a few. From the date on the post, it is around 2 years old, so there may have been further developments from each manufacturer but I doubt it. Hope the link is of some use. http://www.zdriver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19694

just had my car in the garage, mechanic fones me up, "theres a problem" clutch is the wrong size!! couple of mm out?? just checking, that all Z32 clutches are the same? i have a 1991 Z32 TT, jap inport. have i been sent an NA one? or Z31? or are they completly different size??

http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan_car/nissan/fairlady+z/1476659/photo/?sid=220&pn=6 whats going on at the rear of this jdm zed is that a flamer for the exhaust and what is that below the rear number plate, any ideas?

Hi All, http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EeNZluEhydE I was watching the top gear comparisons of the Zed's on another link posted by Legrath I think. My assumption is that the car between the 300zx TT and the 350Z which JC drives is a SWB N/A Z32. Can't get a right look at it. Can anybody confirm that? If it is, it seemed to get a terrible start off the line, but I was still surprised how far down the field it finished. Is the NA that slow? Cheers, Colm

Theres been a bit of a delay in my project,however things are going well. Here are some pics sent to me. You cant faault the workmanship.

Hey all as above who has one fitted permanently? where have you fitted it? how have you fitted it? and what gauge did you opt for?...also any recommendations on a gauge where to put it and fitting most welcome. oh and pictures would be even better....regards Jay Oh i may choose the option of an adjustable fuel reguator and gauge so any info regarding this welcom too...

Guys - starting to develop an issue getting car into reverse. Happens occassionally. It can be difficult to select reverse. Sometimes I have to put it into 5th when its stationary and then down to reverse, which always works. I was watching "The Garage" one night and there was a similar problem on a Golf or something and it was put down to a bush on top of the gearbox which needed replacing. (Yes - I am trying to learn and the information provided on the garage suits my near total lack of knowledge ;) ) Has anybody experienced a similar problem and what was the remedy? Cheers Colm

Eventually managed to get my engine and gearbox out today, its the first time I have tried on a zed or any sort of car. Quite pleased with myself.:) I might take the gearbox off first next time, might be a bit easier. Once I have finished stripping the rest of the car I can start rebuilding the engine.

I'm looking for both the Top Gear 6 (I think) Z car line up and race and also the 300ZX Land Speed record on the Bonoville (spellning I know) salt flats speed record but can't find either, anyone help :) CheerZ Paul

is there a wolly guide to take out the injectors?

I've got a new set of Focal VR component speakers for the front doors (yeehaw). Just wondered if anyone had cut a set of tweeters in a front door panel and if so where abouts in the door without hopefully cutting the steel behind. Cheers Mike
