I have quite a few ECU's here , but no idea what a lot of them are (TT/NA - Man/Auto)......is there a way to tell with the Number on them ? Will the Nissan FAST software tell me ?

I've been umming and arring for a while now about what to do. I'm 27, i'm still living at my parents after my ex sucked me dry of every penny i had unintentionally as i was trying to help her sort her finances out. I have a couple of loans that have 2 years to run and my outgoings have been nearly 90% of my salary each month mainly due to the 350 miles a week i have to drive to work. I run the scorpio to and from each day with the zed only being run twice a week. I never have any time to finish off the jobs i start on it and my life is hectic. I'm paying 1000 quid a year on insurance, i've never once used the nitrous on the car since i bought it and a…

Feel like going for another random long drive in the Z. France is the easiest option as per usual. Can't get a better combination of lack of traffic, scenery and good roads anywhere else in the world almost! LOL Considering going out tonight on the Ferry over to Caen, then drive through the Normandy countryside tomorrow. Stop off with some of my French friends for lunch near Le Mans then head back and drive up the Cherbourg peninsular to Cherbourg itself before taking the fast-cat back to Portsmouth. Weather looks reasonably favourable, but, I am starting to run out of cash! I can afford it no problem, I just have the US to watch for as I'm off to California nex…

have searched various threads but cant seem to find how to locate engine & chassis numbers- would like to check age of my z32 import- thanks in advance!!

Having problems with speedo like others here - goes up to 100kph then drops back to zero Just had speedo sensor changed, didnt cure problem so guess must be clocks. The question is - is the speedo clock driven by variable voltage from sensor or variable frequency? Can't find any info from manual on disk or online

Decisions, decisions... thinking about getting another car...not telling the wife though... However I'm at a cross roads... To the left of me, is the BMW850 V12. Great car, great looks, lousy MPG, not particularly practical. To the right is the R33 Skyline GTR. To my mind the prettiest skyline to date. Straight ahead, an EVO 8 fq 300. All have bags of power, all kill trees and contribute to the warm weather we've been enjoying, all have 4 seats at least.... Granted in the skyline or beemer, you can't be more than 3'5" tall to fit properly.... If you had a choice what would it be, and I don't do track days....it'd be another fun car.

Hi, my electric arial failed on my car and dosnt go up or down. I bought a replacement from my local car audio place and installed it following the instructions but was told not to power one of the cables using the remote wire on my subwoofer as it would burn the motor out on the aerial. I ignored this advice and it worked fine for two or three months. However, it has now too failed. Originally i tried to power the new aerial from the power supply to the old aerial (cars factory wiring loom) but it didnt seem compatibale. My question is... If I replace the aerial with a direct replacement from the Nissan main dealer will it work with the original conn…

Hello, I am new to the forum and I am about to buy a 300zx. I am looking at several (all UK) and am wondering about owners approx MPG's Currently looking at a v6 24v auto and a twin turbo manual-all help is gratefully recieved along with any tips for things I should be looking out for on test drives. Thanks in advance, Bob

I have just fitted some 6 pot rear led lights and there doesnt appear to be enough voltage from the rear light supply to power them. I tried a 9v adaptor and they worked. Has anyone fitted these themselves and if so if i have missed something, advice would be most appreciated. Cheers Graham

Saw a Red Zed in Shrewsbury going up Wyle Cop. Had a dump valve, slightly squared quad exhausts and the number plate had the number 300 in it, but other than that looked fairly stock. You probably saw two chaps stop in their steps and gorp as you went up the hill, don't often see Zeds round here!

No8 aka "The Black Pearl" :D picking it up tommoro,just up the road too,so to speak Tony:cool:

does anybody know what my wheels are, they came on the car from japan and they say falken motorsport on the centre cap and they are light as a feather when they hav'nt got a tyre on, infact you can lift them with your little finger, and ideas would be great.

What turbo's do you have on your Zed? Which do you think is the best and what power do they give you?

Here is a video of the prob im having. seems to be slightly less hesitation with tps disconnected more noticeable when driving. Left o2 sensor has been succesfully fixed, thanks to jimmer's suggestion and the help of vjay and his trusty laptop :D Once the car has been driven for a few miles the idle really starts to shoot up and down. these vids are of the car warmed up and stationary so has not been driven. First video is with tps connected and blipping the throttle: Second vid is with tps disconnected and blipping the throttle:

Hi There My UKTT Auto is going into see Mike at Eastern Autos in Brentwood in the next couple of weeks and she currently has new Tubs and boost jets fitted, by previous owner, I am considering going over to a boost controller, as I want a little more flexibility and also a little concerned that my stock engine over time will not get on with the increased boost of the jets, however there is obviously a pretty big cost implication, is it worth it? she currently has enough power for me at the moment, so I am not looking at trying to get mega figures out of her, Thanks chris

OK Hands up all those who have other halves moaning about the money you spend on the car a year. OK My Niece has just done a survey for her Economics and Market Research thesis involving 1 million women aged 16 upwards. One of the factors was to find out how much of their total income is spent each month on non-essential items such as makeup, clothes, shoes, hair products etc. It averaged out over 40% of a women’s income goes on stuff they don’t really need. This worked out to be £8000 a year on average. A whopping £2900 goes on face products alone and the OLDER they get the more money is put aside for these products and treatments. So next time you…

Just a quicky :) How many square meters do you need roughly to cover the dash panels and door cards on a lwb? Cheers :duffer:
