Anyone got a wiring diagram ? Those running one, is yours on permanently or comes on at certain temps ? How is it wired ?

I am probably going to get slated for buying this, but here goes. I just bought this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330233396106&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=014 I want to see if it will make much difference and i know that i will get the usual comments;) but after spending so much time fitting leds into any orifice available :x: ( on the car that is) i fancied a bit of fun. Now in all seriousness if it may not be suitable ie: fook up the engine, which after reading up about it, shouldnt do then i can always flog it to a chav saxo driver for twice the price :D What do you think? (holds breath)

My Zed`s an import . Until today I`ve had no problems with the electric folding mirrors , but now the nearside one is not folding ( the other one is ok ) . Both mirror glasses are adjusting remotely . Just wondering if there are separate fuses for the 4 functions (2 x 2 ) Of course I know it`s a very minor problem but if anyone else has had it , a bit of advice would be fine and dandy . C`mon , a broken engine is one thing , but this is serious :p

clutch is on its way out!! slips when revs go passed 3k rpm. so looking for a replacement, how much would you recon it would cost to do and also i want the rear crank seal doing while the box is out?? oh the z centre is selling the complete kit for £158 delivered do you recon thats the best price i could get? no Z008 for me!:hurl::cry::cry:

here i go again sort one thing out and sumert els pops up now im getting my ears bit of the ass **** next door cos im trying to fix my cat at 8 oclock at night anyway now iv got a funny noise comming from my engine i think it is anyway only when i give it a bit then it gone then its back where can i take it to get it sorrted out and not get riped off im in worsley:confused::smash:

Saw heading north, around Mare street london, prob about 4.30pm Someone on here? looked like an interesting project

My clutch seemed to be squeaking a lot and i also noticed after driving a while sometimes the gearchange also got a little stiff. Went under the car and decided to spray up into where i thought a lever may have been just inside the bell housing right underneath where the slave cylinder sits and hay presto! Not only does the clutch no longer squeak when i put my foot on the pedal but it feels much easier to press and gears engage even better now!!!! Love finding things like that!:dance:

I need to identify the gearbox that I have, I don’t know if it an AN or TT manual box. Are there any identifying marks/ castings variations between the two? Is there a diameter defence on the bell housing, the one I have is supposed to be a TT but I have a bell housing from a NA and there are the same. Any help would be appreciated

Wonder what colour it will be tomorrow :rofl:

Well, after a few brown trouser moments in the rain it was time for some new tyre's :nana2: Went for a full set as the fronts were badly worn on the inside, and after much searching decided decided to go with markzx's advice and get some S02's. They were expensive (but cheaper than T1-R's for some reason), but the difference is amazing, so much quieter on the motorway and the car actually feels more stable when cornering. Just shows how important tyre choice is! :bow: Attached a couple of pics for any one interested in big black rubber things :D

I drive a 300zx and so does my mate Dave got some brake pads but they are for the R32,found out too late Has anyone got some R33 GTR brembo pads , for the front brakes we need them asap as his car will fail it's MOT tomorrow morning!!!!! We're in Leamington Spa and will travel if needed to collect!!!! Please anyone!!!! We are going to our annual Z008 fest tomorrow Thanks!!!!

went out today in my convertable (NA import), went to town and back and all was good, parked up for 20 minutes and went out again and found my brakes dont work properly anymore. i'm farely sure they are stock, but theyve always been fairly good, much better than my uk tt even after it had bigger discs. i usume this is because it is a newer car (95) the brakes still do something, they still slow the car somewhat but nowhere near a safe amount. it feels like i've lost the power assistance. similar to switching the engine off whilst moving and trying to stop any ideas why it might do this? where do i look first ? a fuse? a pipe?

Tried opening the links page and keep getting message, no longer available , out of date.can anyone explain if it is no longer in use or if my P.C. is faulty.

saw a silver zed in darlington today at about 2.45 was it anyone off here

Whats the most power someone has seen with oem rods? Its rumoured not to go over the 450 mark? What are eagle rods capable of?

4.30pm today on Eastbank Street, White with 6 pot lambo rear light conversion, same as mine only mine is 4 pot. Number plate was YAZ **** i think. And i think it has back leather seats with red piping. Did'nt get chance to flash. Was it you? :)

as above h redj, this morning going north bound around junction 16:D

a silver one in greenford about 9;30pm

Saw ya car parked up in a drive coming home from work today around 3pm-ish White Zed

Whilst my car is in bits i decided to clean up my electrical connectors. When i went to do the MAF i noticed that the pipe out of the top of my BOV's had been linked together and the attchec to the connection on the drivers side, leaving the one on the passengerside not connected to anything. Would this have caused any problems? Have ive connected to back normally now, but cant see why this would have been done in the first place.

Due to my continual electrical problem http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=111034 i have been advised that i need to test all the fuses as although they look ok there could be a hair line crack in one them that i wouldn;t be able to see. So, if anyone has got one and coming to Z008, any chance you could bring it along and i could borrow for a few mins while we're there?....... Cheerz James

Went to view the car and has been hit quite badly and had extensive repairs done including slam panel wings and possibly front leg ! there is a dent in the sill that isnt mentioned aswell as a dent in the bonnet and rust where the boot fits ! the car looks quite nice until you really look at it Paul

As my ignition was smashed to pieces when my car was broken into, I was given another ignition barrell that was attached to a steering rack by SWZ. Now, would it be more advisable to get the ignition off one steering rack and put onto the one in my car, or to swap out the existing rack for the replacement one? I know getting the old one off is a tad tricky due to the sheer bolts, but what are the things to watch out for when swapping racks. Hicas adjustment etc.

Did a quick search to see what sort of numbers. I'm not clued up on this stuff and maybe this isn't a main event, let alone 'the' main event that the NSX'ers make it to be. in case you're interested at least 45 of the UK's guesstimated 400 NSX's will be there. they made press around the world last year when they were around 40 as the largest gathering of NSX's on record ( in europe, as least ) Has this club ever attempted the beauty of the "unfathamable" numbers you could put together? Considering the literal thousands that must be knocking about or have i just missed the thread ?
