She had her MOT yesterday. absolutley pissed it, not even an advisory :bow: :dance: :dance:

Well there we were yesterday,on our way to visit rele`s and getting pretty irritated because our local tescos was so busy we couldn`t find anywhere to park and made buying fuel impossible too..so off to sainsburys we go on t`other side of town..God just as bad!! Sod it! find a space in the end do our shopping and go to fill up.This is the first time we`ve taken the z out in a long long while due to one thing and another and i was feeling pretty nervous as have just finished getting the car back to a ahem "reliable" condition and dreading anything going wrong,as the passion for my car has been severly tested over the past few years,anyway,go in to pay and on my way out a m…

my Z has started to squeel upon startup, it has a brand new battery and i have tightened up the tensioner, The car squeels really loud for about 30 seconds and then when it goes the revs rise to about 2000 for another 30 seconds or so... Whats causing this? Is something on its way out? Thanks, Dan

Just a quick thanks to Chris and his team at Z-Tech for doing my engine re-build, Which he took on from when Ryan sold him the buissness. I was kept informed all the way through the build of what was being done.And when i started her up wow nice sound :bow: There is still some work to be done on the car but most of that i can do myself under there guidance. A top team who had some difficult times to start and are having to move buildings again. But i will definatly be using Z=Tech again :bow:

Tightning up the bolts around the auto box bell housing in the morning as Madmarco and I got the new auto box on today (after ALOT of grief!!!) and wondered if theres a torque value to tighten them up to..???

Or is it DEXRON III ??? Just that i got some Miller auto oil and iits the equivalant to dexron 2 and i'm sure someone recomended dexron 3 ??? Stuff was recomended by MJP though so im sure it'll work ok??

I bought a power steering pump off him about a month ago now but he seems to have fallen off the planet and is not answering his phone or e-mails. Anyone know what the score is with him cause I'm getting a bit frustrated???

Oh poop. Like it says, it moved, started to turn.then snapped. See pics, i've tried irwin rounded bolt removers and its too small. Theres only a few mm of thread sticking out of course Anybody got a bright idea???

i checked my timing the other day and thought it was ok, my bro in law (mechanic) came today and he checked, it was 27 degrees out, ow its been set to 15 degrees and it seems slower at top end of the rev range, it seems to pull more low down, also checked my base idle which i also done wrong, its now set correct, the stalling from pull off is still there though checked all plugs and they are all burning correctly, no sooting and gaps were spot on, checked all connectors and they are ok should i set it back to 27 degrees out as i dont like the way it drives now, also i set the idle after i changed the timing the bolts on the cas aint in the middle anymore, t…

Just to see if im not the only person since buying my Z that has fell in love, had my car over a year now and spent £££ and more to be spent but theres no regret. I think the best people around are Z owners how dedicated we are and friendly even though they cost so much and every time ive seen another Z on the road you never fall to wave. Seeing them on YouTube is fantastic. Theres just something about seeing my Z on the drive thats makes me warm and happy inside but more when driving. Think im going to see a doctor now i might be a little crazy lol Long Live the Z........

Can anyone tell me how to get my hands on a book etc' detailing the individual body panels and how they are attatched to each other please? Just about to start sills and floor repares and I am unsure as to where one panel stops and the other starts. Car in question is a 1992 tt targa lwb Thanks in advance Redwine300 :o :o

Hi guys and girls . well ive only owned my car a few days and ive started to get problems already they started yesterday when pulling off in my car it seems to have a big flat spot almost as if it over fuels for a split second and the car doesnt seem to pull as well as it should seems to get to about 4000 revs and hold back then goes again then holds back on and off i checked the plugs and there pretty black so getting some new 1s ( i no this wont help them being like that) also when i rev the car it splutters at at abot 1000 revs then pulls its like the car is reving really slow .. does anything im saying make any sense? lol

Was a bit of a zed day yesterday - Especially if I include the few I saw down SWZ as well! But, twas a bit of a surprise when I saw, in my drunken state (I think it was real!) a black H reg swb with black alloys parked up in Midsomer Norton high street at around midnight! Not seen it around before........

Grey L reg parked up pretty near to the Riverside Inn at about 4pm yesterday.

I want to know how many would be up for this. It makes an unbelieveable difference to you car handling and gets rid of all but 4 dodgy bushes at the rear of the car (which lets face it are 10 plus year old) maybe even go for the collor buches to elininate that too. This stuff is nothing like the Dodgy Ebay rubbish. TT rear end kit comes with Hicas Eliminator and fully ajustable camber and toe arms http://www.powertrix.com/images/Z32suspTTrearkit1_thumb.jpg NA kit has Full ajustable camber, toe and tie bars and both have new poly bushes http://www.powertrix.com/images/Z32suspKitNArear_thumb.jpg The finishing handling requirements are the Stil…

morning all, i need a new battery for the ZED and i have been offered 1 for free, its brand new but its off a KIA diesel its the right size and it has a higher ampage, will this matter or should i just fork out the money for a new 1, Regards, Chris.

hi everyone, i finally have my car back on the road! wooohoooo :dance: i recently had to replace the passenger side drive shaft and now i get a light 'shudder' when setting off... vibration kinda feeling.... i am not sure what it can be? but it never used to be like that and i guess its not good? wondered if any1 has experienced this and can recommend anything to make it disappear? thanks in advance.

found my old 300zxtt at last thanks to derek. who lives in mansfield so have bought it back, collecting on wensday, cant wait. needs a bit of work on it but nothing to bad. be good to get back into the 300 scene again. hope to see some of you at a meet in the near future. hope to get some pics up soon.

Took the Z out for the night as i rarely get to these days due to bad weather and a busy work load and what happens even before iv got to my destination.... Tyre bloody blows out and shreds to bits :headvswal :mad: Has ripped right off my rim and im pretty sure its gonna need replacing Things were going well and then all of a sudden this, cant seem to understand how this happened, i was'int going at any speed and was pretty much driving around central london Dont know what to do, sometimes i just wanna pack it in and just buy a standard new car Rant over p.s. anybody got a spare Kahn rsc 2pc rim lying around? :rolleyes:

Ok at the end of last year (2007) i had my auto replaced by a second hand box due to my torque converter breaking off and destroying my box while doing 100 kmph:(. Anyways i had my the box serived and fitted by my zed mechanic and i trust the work he did was dont correctly and i know second hand boxes arent like brand new auto boxes when it comes to having problems and such. Ok so atm ive had the new box for about 2 months and ive been having a problem while driving at low speeds in first gear where my car would sometimes not want to change up 2 second gear. basically the car will rev but not accelerat at all. Now ive tried to manually shift the auto into 2nd and 1st…

After fitting the refurbished wheels im not sure if the car is sitting too high :eek: i would like to get the stance right and would like your opinion guys if you think the zed needs to go a little lower .......... :bow: :bow:
