....in his SLK! Nice to see you again mate! SLK impressed me. :duffer:

I am in the process of doing a 60k service at the moment, I have just taken the old Thermosat out and it had some sort of gasket sealant around it. I am using the guide on http://www.ttzd.com and it does not mention anything about using a sealant on the Thermosat. Just wondering if I need to put sealant on it or not?

Could someone please tell me where the fuse for the indicators is on my 300tt jap import, as i find myself unable to flash [imagin my disopointment]

What are the headlight bulbs and mainbeam bulbs in my 1992 UK TT? Are they a H1 fitment? because i have contradictory information that suggests they are a H3 fitment...

LOTS of wheelspin! :shock:

Some unusual things happened: Took the car out last night steering was heavy as tho pump went then 5 mins later was ok again. Go out to pick Girlfriend up today and heater was playing up would go hot then into aircon temp then back and keeps doing that although heater is on top setting. Noticed small spray in drivers side under where all the sterro gubbins are. But thing that worried me is the temp guage is up and down like a yo yo but no steam or anything showing. Anyone had these gremlins?

my insurance runs out at the end of this month, but obviously the car dont look like it did last year :cool:. i have just had a quote from luke at sky insurance for £651. this includes all below. fully comp for me & the wife (the latter could be a really bad move :eek:) £350 excess courtesy car £15k agreed value ( the max they go to, but wanted nearer 20k ) includes all mods for 500+rwhp 3k limited mileage does that sound reasonable ?

Hi all, Ok japfest coming up, trying to get an mot on the car and get it tip top and ready in time. One problem the car has is it sounds tappety, guessing it has hydraulic lifters so I'm thinking oil pressure problem. Seems to only sound like one lifter is at fault (if I'm right) so maybe it's a dodgy one. Either way the gauge on the dash is a bit rubbish and seems to move all over the place. What oil pressure should I be seeing? Trying to buy a gauge/sandwich plate from Demon tweeks at the moment so I can get a good reading. I'm also using the Mobil oil you get in Hellfrauds, should I be using something different that might cure this problem? …

my pistons, bearings etc have all arrived......

Right, as my bonnet is non-standard the previous owner decided to clip the washer hoses/jets to the underside so that the spray comes between the lip of the bonnet and the scuttle panel. It was working well until the hose came a little lose - long story short, the front washers don't even hit the window anymore and have lost 80% pressure! I've been searching for appropriate washer jets that could be adapted to fit under the bonnet as it is now but none seem to be right...anyone have any ideas as to what I can do? Currently, the jet is just the hose with a solid piece of metal tubing with a very small hole in it...creating the pressue to hit the screen... ..…

I just cant afford to keep the Z. First one to offer me 7k gets it number plate would go back onto rentation tho and it would go back on the G plate, pitty again as I only put the private plate on it 2 months ago! Its taxed till about august and mot'd for about another 6 months Everything on the car is new and there would be no problems moting it again This is not a for sale thread so dont move it its me crying at the fact that I need to give in and sell it so I can put a roof over my head. :rant::cry: I'm serious tho.

My 2 Zeds, 1 without engine, are being delivered tommorrow! Will be able to start breaking the Blue car for spares and prepare the Black one for respray, manual conversion and new engine once i remove the old one! I just hope i havent bitten off more than i can chew with this project. Just keep telling myself it will be worth it in the end and hopefully will have an original Strosek kitted Z on the road in a few months! The company delivering them says he has never had anything as low and as wide on the back of his truck before! Big thanks to Chris at Ztech for helping the guys get the cars on the flatbed. The black widearch had to be put on a 4 post ramp and driven …

Just wondered where put people have put the ballasts for their HID kits, so far have seen behind the headlights and under the centre panel, any others?

ive just taken all 6 injectors out and only 3 of them have a plastice tip on them do i need them :headvswal

As most of you know I am selling my car:cry: took it for it's M.O.T. (oil change on Saturday morning) today and it passed, it's never failed a M.O.T for me which shows how good this car is. What made things worse was the bloke who M.O.T the car has done a few and he said it was the best one he has ever seen.:cry::cry::cry:

Started the Zed up today to drive as normal and on pulling away noticed some smoke pluming from the the right exhaust! It went away on changing into 2nd gear and was fine when warmed up... I noticed my Z started doing this a few weeks ago but now it's becoming a concern... When the car was parked up today after driving it I left it for an hour and started it again... No smoke on idel but when bliping the throttle to about 300rpm there was a slight blue haze which came from the drivers side exhaust which quickly soon went away... On leaving it idle again there was nothing but white smoke / condensation and she was fine again... My turbo's are only a few years o…

Hi I'm new to the 300ZX world (previously mostly V8's and a Porche Carrera 911, it now feels good to kicks the V8's arses...),I live in Australia but it seems you guys are more into the 300zx scene than we are here. I saw a stage 3 chip on ebay here in Oz for a claimed 400rwhp made by Marobi ???? To me this seems virtually imposible with the following details : With this chip Your 300zx will put out a staggering 400 BHP at the wheels. You will need a free flow air filter. A good free flowing exhaust. 440cc injectors........but this chip will work with standard 370cc injectors as long as you don't go mad with the boost,stay at around 14psi boost.....…

Is there a quick fix for the way the low beam goes off when the high beam is switched on? All Japanese cars seem to do this I would much prefer it if they came on together when high beam is selected. Thanks vini
