...do you have any issues with water getting into the engine bay? have you performed any modifications under-bonnet to divert water away from any nearby electrics such as coilpacks, temp sensors, etc.

Take aload of this v spec zx, The engine is made by the same makers who did the skyline engine ( thats nissan then:rolleyes: ) It also draws alot of attention because of the looks. cannot see why TRD style bonnet and supra rear bumper :rofl: :rofl: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300-ZX-2-2-TWIN-TURBO-T-BAR-MODIFIED-1-OFF-LOOK_W0QQitemZ180301712946QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item180301712946&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

At about 6pm (ish) - black zed going past Leisure Centre etc on West Quay Road... Anyone ?

Ive got a 92 tt auto ive started to fit a set of dump valves, and ive noticed the oil cooler is quite small. My question is, does the oil cooler cool the oil for the engine and gearbox or just the engine is it worth upgrading to a 10 or 11 row oil cooler. And my last question is, can i just remove the standard oil cooler and replace it with the new one and use the same rubber pipes. Cheers me deers.

before i get serious about selling ive got a lot to do with the zed 1. finish off fitting new crossmember 2. fit new interior carpet 3. fit new dash facia 4. fit new targa seals 5. get new chip for ecu 6. fit new frp and damper 7. oil change (engine and box) 8. clean engine bay up and clean inside and out thats it for now, hoping nothing else happens in the mean time lol

and it aint the uk weather, my rear sill rotted and i replaced them all, they rotted cause of the rubber targa drain pipes rotted and was leaked inside the sills hence the rust my rear footwell needed a patch putting on, this was due to the rubber targa seal leaking water into the cockpit and it corroded from inside (all repaired) im n the process of replacing my front crossmember, this is cause nissan decided to put a pipe that runs from some type of water bottle inside the crossmember and its open ended and it just leaks the water into the crossmember so its nissans rubber hoses that cause the rot, not the fookin weather:headvswal

One at 1540 in Portswood, Southampton - G153YRJ - SWB but hopefully it is not anyones on here as it was a bit neglected, dented passenger door, dull paint and cheap looking aftermarket exhausts and crappy illegal plates. The second five minutes later near Jurys Inn, Southampton - L registration.

Hello. My oil pressure is sitting around 2psi Anyways, i informed the guy of my oil pressure sitting kind of low and he said he would flush through my engine on the service then check it again after putting new oil in it. Said if it was still low i will need to get a new oil pump which will cost around 400 supplied and fitted, kind of took this as a shock:nelson::cry:.lol. Was wondering what you guys thought about this and any similar problems that use have had? Cheers :nana2:

Was just wondering, are snoopers illegal? Using it to give me my speed in mph as my clocks arent change from km/h, and it also informs me of speed cameras?

someone once said whilst your pulling the engine out you should replace loom is this exspensive?

CAN Anyone tell me what and why?

Got my new Sony Ericsson C905 phone today, so decided to see what the video facility was like and found a nice quiet country road in the zed and took a little vid................ Came back, took a look and i saw what you lot have just seen. So i pulled over and took another vid just revving the engine, to show you what i saw.............. Would you educated types agree with me and say turbo seals, or am i jumping the gun and should i change the PCVs and see what it leads too?? It only smokes when on boost, no smoke from start (cold or hot) and no smoke on idle. Its deffo blue smoke though. Nick

Apart from leaks is there any other reason to do this and any downside. Whilst my engine is out?

Sorry as i'm sure it's been covered before but i can't find sh*t on it! Is there a way to flash the codes off the ECU using an LED? or anything other than Conzult as i don't have access to a Conzult and is something i wouldn't mind doing to see if it sheds any light on my idling issue before i start replacing bits for the sake of it! Cheers OneSHOT

im just wanting to bypass my maf sensor so im going to Maplins to buy a Dyode or a residtor, what do I need and is there a power rating or somethng?? Reason for this it im trying to see if my mas is faulty and I dont want to spedd £95 on a new one if its in working order. Cheers.

does anyone know why my autobox would have power and hold lights on at the same time? if put in power mode it is just power light that comes on in normal mode no lights, and in hold both lights come on. when i start the car the power light sometimes flashes for 30 secs or so and at the moment it seems like it doesnt want to change up gears, when it finally does it gives you a big kick in the back very jerky, any advice would be much appreciated thanks guys and girls.:headvswal

Filling up at asda about half seven tonight. Don't see that too often, a zed at a fuel station................!

Oreet chaps, just asking if anyone has a few exhaust mounts floating around, I need the 2 that attach to the flange on the end of the back box (not the rubber, the metal ones), and the two mounts that attach the end of the down pipes to the bracket on the back of the gear box (it's an auto).... Nissan (as per usual) want an extortionate amount of money for these mounts, so just thought I'd see if anybody had any knocking about.... If not, I'll get my welder out :-) Cheers for all the help you guys have given me over the last month of two :-) :-) :-) Tudor...

Found a split water pipe that goes from the back of the engine down the left hand side under the Pheliumn (spell ckeck you know what I mean :tongue:) Finally pulled it apart from the back and front only to realise there is a branch off under the Pheliumn Do I have to remove the phel as its the only way I can see :( Bummer , any suggestions :headvswal:headvswal

anyone got this months banzai.. there is a really nice 180sx in it .. something i have been trying to get my head round tho is they have a similiar shape to the 300zx .. looking side on .. and the rear spoiler on it looks really good in my oppinion, but any of the spoilers like this that i have seen on z's look pap.. cant really figure it out.. only thing i can think of is that cos the z is bigger the spoiler looks silly :S

after 2nd gear failed in my autobox and converting to manual, what could i do with the old autobox do i scrap it or is it any use to anyone? think it was the brake bands that had gone?

Is this normal, as soon as i turn it off it settles to 1000rpm.
