hi all. i've just noticed that my park light on the dash stays on after iv released the handbrake,in fact it stays on until the car has fully warmed up then it disapears. does this indicate something wrong with braking system or maybe a loose connection or something? i noticed it a couple days ago and its starting to bug me now,cheers fellas.

Hi guys, anybody got any advice on removing a scratch from clear plastic? somebody has decided to kindly scratch my 99spec rear light. I did hear that using t-cut on it would sort it out but i dont wanna go ahead with trying that and totally ruin the lights. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance :) Sean.

right. now the body side of things are done & the exhaust being made next week, its time to make some decisions on the interior. could do with a few ideas on colour, or colours you would consider. this will all be custom made using nappa leather. ;). heres a pic of the car to maybe give you a feel for the colour.

Can the hoses and restrictor thingy just be cleaned if the rubber is ok if so what with?

woohooo just watching a zed being pulled over on bravo...

After much searching around i have finally mamaged to get hold of a Series 2 climate control pod and ecu, now the pod looks very simple to fit and i would imaging the ecu is the same, i've been told it goes somewhere in the drivers footwell, but where?????. What do i need to remove to get to it. i've just had a look and cant see anything that looks like the box that i have, do i need to pull back the carpet,remove the centre console,take off the piece under the steering wheel, any advce will be really appreciated and the more detailed the better thanks in advance

Hi Peps I'm looking for the front window wiper relay???? its doing my head in and i cant find it Tried the fuse already , motor is fine so I assume its the relay WHERE IS IT ????? Frustrared me !!!!:headvswal

I went out to start my ZX this morning and the battery is completely dead....... .....bloody typical; I discovered the MOT runs out today and my local garage could have done it for me. Julia took the Rav to work this morning and the SLK's bonnet is too long to get close enough with my jump leads. D'oh:slap: I reckon it must be time for a new battery - it was flat-ish last weekend but I jump-started the Z and took it for a 20 mile drive. I didn't set the alarm either as that can drain a battery but I thought there may have been some life left in it. C'est la vie.... Richard:x:

,the time has come to sell my z as much as it pains me my new job just means she has to go as i cant give her time i need the thing is in the dorset area i cant seem to shift her for any sensible price, but even on ebay i cant get a bid plenty of people wanting to do swaps , any advise please and what sort of price should i be looking for?

This has appeared on Ebay. It got to be worth the money. Anyone wanting a slicktop road racer, here it is........LEGRATH. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1992-Nissan-300-ZX_W0QQitemZ280210969920QQihZ018QQcategoryZ18238QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Sorry no good with computers, perhaps someone can shorten it down.

Looking at courtesys website the hoses changed in 05/90, As my car is a '90 J spec how can I tell the month of manufacture? Or does it not really make much difference which hose I use?

Now in most cars this is a straight forward job. In the 300 this doesn't appear to be the case! I've bought a nice new wheel for my car but there does appear to be the necessity for a certain amount of butchery to the wiring for the cruise control etc. Does anyone have any tips for the removal and fitting?

My series 1 zed heater doesnt want to blow cold, i've replaced the pod, the sensors under drivers footwell + removed centre console. The flap in the middle opens up under 20 odd degrees + is fully open at 10'c. Never blows cold, it has been lukewarm on 40'c though. I have spent an hr searching+ cant get where the heater doors + mixer valve thingy (technical term) is :mac1:

hi guys i need some advice as ive just fitted a pair of blow off valves on the throttle bodies the car has now devloped a hunting at idle when the engine is hot could anyone please help in this matter many thanks :bow:

can any one please tell me that when i go over 65mph there is a pinging noise like a door is open and the lights are left on as soon as i go under 65mph it goes. i have no lights telling me any doors are open and everythimg is locked. the sound sounds like it is comming from the back. :(

Has anyone got the metal road off their car at the moment that they could take a photo of please? I've just spent the afternoon manufacturing one only to find the window now won't go down so it must be a specific shape :rant: The technical manual isn't that helpful, if you could pop it by a ruler it'd be even more help to get the right size At least if i know the shape i can make it up tomorrow and sort it out. Cheers guys

A massive shout out to chris and the team at z autos:bow: for putting in the gear box and for fixing the drive shaft bearing. (still lots more to do). again a massive thanks. so good to drive in it again. :dance::nana2:

Bloody crappy car cover from halfrauds has just ripped again in teh wind, but this time its seriously scratched teh front wing. why cant people make things that are fit for ****ing purpose. Stop making cheap shit.

Hi- I have recently picked up another Z. Don't know anything about the spec, the seller had no info on it. Requires some engine work. I have been trying to identify if the turbos are std or upgraded. The exhaust is 3" dia right from turbo elbows back- no cats. The turbos have 5 stud cast elbows. The actuators have 2 metal vac connection pipes although only 1 is connected. The engine is still in the car so access to see the turbos is limited. Ex manifolds look std Can anyone hazard a guess as to what they might be or how I could (easily) identify them Thanks Leo

God damn it. Just had a puncture on the rear. Can safely say now that the space saver wont fit over the brembo callipers and brake disk. Good job me lad works for ATS, had one of the vans on site by the time I had finished breakfast, did have to fork out £160 for a new tyre though. Got a bridgestone REO50, as luck would have it they were a recommendation on the MOT so did need new ones soon. Will be going back tomorrow to get the other one done. Darrell

Looked like a nice day, so decided to G3 my bonnet. Then after I put it on, it started pi**ing it down!! What do I do? WIll it damage? Have tried to wipe it off!
