Hi Newbie here, trying to get my fairlady tt running! fuel pump controller was burnt out so got some parts from Andy at supercarparts(very quick del!) and now have fault code 21 which I think is ignition circuit but can this be narrowed down? Thanks

I´ve got mine installed from my Z-Mechanic-mate, but I can´t reach him, and someone in our austrian-forum needs fast help with the install.

Thanks in advance! PS: Search didn´t do the job

Ive decided that i am going to move my turbo timer and defi control panel from its current position, sticky taped underneath the heater/washer pod, to in the little cubby hole underneath my head unit. So i take of the panel underneath the steering column off. AND MY FOOKING LORD!!!!! Its a complete mess, the wiring has been completely bodged, scotch blocks, black electric tape, the works. Why is it when people who spend a decent amount of money on good quality kit, and then feel the "that will do" Rover type attitude when it comes to wiring will do. It fooking annoys me! :rant: :rant: :rant: :headvswal

Hello from Austria! I read here, that some of you mean, the stock brakes are good enough for stock-Z´s, and that improving the performance ist possible just in "making a service". My Z´s got around 350hp, I like to go fast, but I don´t drive hard, - don´t wanna kill some unguilty ;) But my last harder braking from around 120mph to around 60 made me thinking about purchasing a bigbrake kit (I like the Z1 most, still keeping the original calipers). Discs started "rubbing" quite bad... Got drilled and slotted Brembo-disks and metalmatrix-pads around... So, how does a service of the calipers work, and why do they work bad when they are older…

When the car is cold i get a fair amount of white smoke from the drivers side exhaust pipe. It goes once the cars warm but you can see it at night with a tourch even when its warmed up ? Just wondered if this would be turbo related? Is there anything i can do now to prevent anything breaking ??

Well there i was sitting at my desk working away when my phone rings.... nothing abnormal about that i hear you cry... any other call i would have agreed with you however this one was from my buddy at the body shop thats had the Zed for the last 9 1/2 months.... 'got a bit of a problem' he said 'Oh right, whats that then' my heart sinking and my brain working out how much it's gonna cost . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 'You can pick it up tomorrow.....she all done' :shock: So i promply booked the afternoon off work to go pick her up However my story does not end happily..... i have to bleed the brakes and he…

Saw one leaving Screwfix at Trentham lakes, nice sounding aftermarket cans. I was wandering past on the pavement when you pulled out, wish i'd driven the zed instead of walked now...

Hi, As you can probably see, im pretty new here (relatively speaking), and have been casually looking at 300ZX's for around 15 months. Ive given up on the idea of a mint TT silver SWB car with black leather! Ive only seen one. Also LWB might be a tad more practical. so.. Silver, black leather, low milage, etc etc... Can you guys see any reason NOT to buy this car....
