The old girl began overheating this morning, quickly got steamy inside the car and forced me to pull over, then left a wet spot on the carpet... Not that girl! :slap: Anyway sounds like the dreaded heater matrix leak has struck again! Will need to do a quicky matrix bypass till I have time to rip out the dash and replace the matrix. Took a look at the back of the engine and spotted one of the heater hoses but not sure where the second one enters the bulkhead. Did a search but cant seem to find a pic showing the second line, can anyone help?

Was it you? i see it parked up everyday nice body kit 99 spec lights crome wheels :D but today i saw you driving it???

Ongoing................... I've discovered a vibration from about 40mph upwards through the steering wheel which gets worse the faster i go. So far i have: Changed the tension rod bushes to poly ones....no difference. Checked each individual piston in each caliper is working.....yes it is. Had the discs checked for warping......slightly out on one worse on the other had them skimmed..........still no difference. The car is now at Power Engineering who skimmed the discs and they are doing further investigation tomorrow. They've also checked the wheel bearings and both fronts are ok. Anyone got any other ideas??????????????? Cheers Ale…

Hi People, Can anyone help? I smell oil and I think it might have a top leak that runs towords therear. I haven't lost any oil off the dip stick in the time i had i and the hicas light likes to remind me its present although again, no loss of fluid? Has anyone had this happen? Thanks

My car is back home and she is back to normal :) the new turbo did the trick and now she is running very nice :D I am getting some smoke which is the oil inside the exhausts. the smoke goes after stopping :D Just need to sort the lumpy idle out and she will be ok :D Thanks agian to a good friends for helping me out (Paul@swz and legraph) im so happy that its all sorted now :)

Hi! I am looking for a Zed that the engine is Twin Turbo, the car is 98`, but the problem is that haven´t got boost gauge under the speedometer..It is normal?? Thanks I Put the pics of the car, if you don´t view please, tell me. Sorry for my bad english

To make those peeps who are selling their Zed feel a little less bad I thought i would start a thread on Zed design flaws. The thing that most winds me up about the Zed is that you cant put anything that looks valuable - eg a laptop bag in the boot as its quite easy to see through the front windscreen! Anyone got any others?

Thanks mate got the led today, many thanks :)

Who has a later revision PTU then? Has anyone made thier own wiring harness? Please help! :duffer: I'm looking at buying this one which has a harness but not sure if it would need wiring into mine or be a direct fit.

I am pleased to say that I have spent the last week doing bits and bobs on my car like I promised myself and from the list of problems I have sorted most out and have only the low beam and air con and front tyre to sort. So JAE is looking good. My mate has offered to lend me he's RX8 but I would rather take my own car. Good news for me :cool:

Got a set of Khan RS-R's I haven't stuck on yet... but kinda like these as they are very beefy looking. Or do I need glasses...

Was it you?? About 3:45 Uk spec with a good number plate on it in blue with a big spoiler, just leaving the car park, you followed me round to the petrol station (shame on you putting that muck in it!) i was in the white renault kangoo van :)

Hi there, after badly recalibrating my speedo... discovered this little jobbie - not ordered it yet though: http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/bluetooth_hud_gps_review_globaltop_hg-100.php its bluetooth GPS dongle (for mobile phone with no gps but TomTom) , with the added advantage of a head up display of your speed.

I'm going to sell my car if i can get a good price for it. I really find the car too expensive to run in London when a car isn't even a neccessity. However writing this advert has made me really misserable and i'm very unsure about selling it at all, So...would rather not have a thread on 'not to sell' but some advice for an autotrader advert :D here goes... Nissan 300zx TT 2+2, UK Model 340BHP (282.7 RWHP) Automatic Arctic White 7 Months Warrenty at http://www.jamespaul.co.uk where I purchased the car from in Feb 2007. 7 Months Tax 10 Moths MOT Very good condition for a 300zx, let alone a UK model, always attracts attention at me…
