ok finally had the chance to get the car jacked up to investigate my water leak problem. when open the rad cap there's no water in there. pour a pint in, and its dripping out straight away (well after about 10 secs) from beneath the engine. narrowed it down to behind the top pulley, where the two rad pipes go into the top of the engine, i can see a thin stream of water drip onto the arm of the top pulley, about 5cm back from the pulley itself. any idea what this could be? a hose or gasket? or something worse :(

Hi all i never new this site existed :nana2: right ive had and got a couple of problems with my zx non turbo, ill start at the simplest first, any help would be great, here goes. 1, when i have the heaters set to 40 no heat comes from any of the blowers apart from the ones at your feet, but it doest blow that much or that hot, all the others are cold. is this normal? i had to take it off the road over winter becauseit was just to cold in there. 2, how do you get the cruise control to work? ive tried everthing, i even tryed sweet talking her, but that didnt help and heres the biggy and i feel so ashamed 3, one of my coilpacks went…

Are they all the same? I am still looking into replacing my Momo Race with a Momo Daytona. But just wondering of all Momo wheels will fit the same Hicas boss?

When doing a manual conversion can you keep the cruise control to work on the manual box?

Does anyone do these for the z? Steps back and awaits a funky flaming

Well, spent a little on the Zed recently as sold some crap i had accumulated from other projects. Fitted the 99 spec rear lights......not keen on the red '300zx' light panel so staying with the original one. Love the look. Also trial fitted my new (secondhand) alloys today. Set of 18" Rays Payton Place Knight Marquis (9J & 8J). 2 tyres shot but all getting rebooted after refurb. Going for slightly off white spokes and keeping the polished deep dish. Sits high as its on wrong size tyres, oh and also needs lowing anyway....especially with these on. Refurb commences in the morning :nana2: :hyper:

Around 9 this morning heading out of luton near the crematorium. I think you might have flashed your lights but I was concentrating on the speed camera. Darrell

i have a cobra alarm on my zed and I, or should i say the stupid woman i live with has lost my spare remote along with the little immobilsor key, i can't see any serial numbers on the original cos they've worn off over the years, does anyone know of a way to get another 1, i'm not bothered about gettin it recoded cos she's told me she lost them over a year ago, if it makes any difference its the tear drop shaped fob with 2 grey buttons on it(the same type loads of people have) many thanks, Chris.

I have just bought another 300zx twin turboto drive whilst i work on my other one. However it has a couple of problems i need to fix although car drives ok. The car sometimes revs on its own sometimes at 1500rpm sometimes more and i have no idea why. Also if i give car a big boost loads of smoke (oil smoke) comes out the battery side of the engine not sure where from, someone told me there is a breather down there that gets blocked but i'm not sure? Can anyone shine any light on these problems as i have no idea, i took it to a mechanic and he doesnt know why it revs. turbotel View Public Profile Send a private message to turbotel Find More …

Bought a set of led lights off ebay from a seller called "zed-bitz" they are just like the ones from clearcorners but were £350 instead of $1600, however three lights have stopped working in the indicator... Any suggesteions on how to get inside the unit to fix the connection...(dont want to put them in the oven) Also does anybody have any contact information for the seller zed-bitz??? cheers guys Dan

About to order up some gauges (oil pressure, water temp, and boost). Reading back through the forum I understand I need one of these Gizmos I was just wondering - is there enough space around there oil filter area? I.e. when the pressure sender is screwed into this adaptor has it got room. The pics of the senders i`ve seen look quite large. cheers jay

A bit of a technical question for anyone who knows the answer for sure! What are the symptoms (and NO, I'm not talking about the yellow skinned family from Springfield!!! ;) ) if the ECU Water Temp Sender fails? As in, it is telling the ECU that the water is permanently COLD! And how could this be tested? Thanks in advance! Dave

Can someone tell me how much faberic they used to retrim their door cards and lower pannels. I'm thinking 2m should be enough as the fabric I'm getting is 60" wide. I'm also covering the seat bit of my new seats.

Hi all can anyone tell me what series Uk clocks these are? Also as the plugs at the rear are different does this mean that i will have to swap all the dials as stated in bigman's earlier post. I still have the shell to my old uk Z and all the wiring so is it possible to swap the wiring loom over or is that just asking for trouble :headvswal I also found a de-limiter already fitted, can i just leave that in place or do i have to take it out when fitting the uk clocks as it will nock the calibration out or should i just forget about the UK clocks and put everything back :mac1: Oh and thanks in advance lol. :bow:

Hi, I've just bought my first Z from stenorth (everything going smootly so far Ste. Lower gaiter had come off gearstick and so was a bit noisy in 2nd but that's all back on now and working well ;). The car has the stock Nissan 16" BBS alloys and i'm planning on putting a couple of new tyres on the rear. The tyres on there at the moment are 225/50/16' same as the fronts. I've read in some websites that the rears sometimes take 245/45/16's on the twin turbos. Should i consider a slightly bigger tyre on the rears or just keep everything standard? Cheers Dave
