This evening (thursday) just after 5pm heading towards the roundabout where the garage is :) Smiled & nodded @ eachother - anyone off here?

On stripping down a Hp Scanner/printer i took out this part, it works on 12v and it works quite well...! Also i have been working on my steering wheel with cruise control and flappy paddles (that is three cruise buttons and two switches for the paddles...!)

Im assuming there should be a boot switch somewhere, coz I know theres a boot light, so questions are 1 Where is the switch (anyone got a picture??) 2 Would the lack of a switch cause my 'door open' light on the dash to remain on 3 Im assuming if 2 above is 'yes' then should there be more than just a wire from the switch to the light, for example a relay 4 Im also assuming if 2 is 'yes' thats why my alarm system is malfunctioning. Any answers would be really appreciative, preferably with any pics to help. be aware that as an auto electrician I make a good joiner!!

does anyone know where i can get a good head gasket in the uk only option i have so far is a cometic one from the US

My 1991 300zx TT Jap import is running at 1500rpm at idle and was thinking it might be a cam belt problem and since i have only purchased the car decided to change it anyway. The car was an Auto converted to manual. What would cause it to run at such high revs. Some lad messed with the the timing to try and sort it but made it worse. afraid to drive it now in case it wrecks my engine.

Does anyone connect the knock sensor on the block back up again ? or do you cut the wire and extend it from the plug so you can connect it to the loom when the engine is back in the car cos it doesn't seem possible to connect it back up with the manifold on.

Ever heard of the song "LONLEY , OH SO LONLEY" where are all you lot :headvswal I drive from Edmonton to Beckton almost every day and I never spot anyone !!!! Am I the only 1 around ere ????? :confused: come on where are ya all :tongue:

Hi does any one know what other nissans had the r230 diff and what are the ratios thanks taff.:cool:

Hi folks, after some confusion I thought I'd put my fuel pressure regulator on the correct way up - having looked at the manual a bit more closely it seems to show conflicting info. http://www.300zx.co.uk/cgi-bin/manual.cgi?list=efec&dir=&config=&refresh=&slide=16&cycle=off&scale=0&design=default&total=190 and http://www.300zx.co.uk/cgi-bin/manual.cgi?list=efec&dir=&config=&refresh=&slide=5&cycle=off&scale=0&design=default&total=190 These do not agree...page 16 shows the end of the sensor connects to the fuel rail, page 5 shows the end of the FPR connected to the fuel tank return. Could somebody pl…

Hi all, I've still got problems with the heater in my Zed - it blows hot no matter what temp setting you put it on, and even when it's switched off hot air flows out. The only way I can drive the car is with it switched off and on recirc! I took the dash apart the other day and checked a few things. From what I can see, the door in the large opening (for the face vents) works fine - it moves when I change it to screen/vent/feet etc. The recirc also works fine as I can hear and see it moving (behind the glovebox). What I can't get to do anything are the two actuators that sit underneath the main matrix, visible from the passenger side. No matter what I set i…

what are the relays on the side of the footwell for.....and what does the connections / loom feed....these are the connectors i found to the left of the ECU...not quite on the side of the footwell but kind of right in the corner cheers chris

Went to show and shine at MFN on Sunday.Got 3rd place Trophy & £15 cash.Better than a poke in the eye as there were some well nice cars in the arena.

Do you still need the gearbox Bud as the guy has PM'd me.

Well, did you? :D

your zed followed me into bletchley this evening nice car from the front bud:dance:

Silver/Glitter flake one with a lovely dual exhaust. Spoke to you at the show but didn't catch your name. Said it was Rainbow TT's old car. I'm the one in the Black 300zx jacket who wants your exhaust :bow: Dark Red - Shrek! Same stand and had a 300zx.co.uk sticker on it. Shame I didn't get to speak to you but great looking SWB. Finally the red one with the custom red/black Z interior in the opposite area with the large single exhaust. Nice to see some Z's at these larger shows.

Right I seen a silver Z on numerous occasions on durham road low fell. I noticed it parked a few times at Sheriff hill outside the Chinese/Furniture shop. Anyone on here?

looking for a bit of advice, sorry this is long but theres a few innacuracies with the symptoms first off the dipstick seems to pop out at anything above 5k rpm but only on boost not when car is sat , when sat at idle i can rev all the way to 7k rpm no problem, second check was opening the oil filler to see if there was gas coming out and there is , not a lot though, but not all the time , if i give it a nice hard rev let it settle again there is no gas out of the oil filler, top end was rattly this morning sounding like stuck lifters , gave it a nice hard revving and the rattle goes away and so does the gas coming out of the oil filler. I first off was edging t…
