I have a donor car that I am going to be using the manual gearbox to convert my other auto tt to manual. Do the manual boxes need the cooler/pump or not? Thats the only parts I have to remove from the donor but they are in some mess with rust etc. Cheers John

Hello my Dear Friends!! Gotta a small problemo ere..aight, since I bought my Z something curious is happening, normally I only drive this car on a weekend basis, that is sometimes it can easily stay in my garaje parked for 3 weeks without driving it..only thing I do is drop down and start the engine and then leave it running for about 15-20 minutes and that´s all folks! Ok problem is that when this happens I happen to find that the battery dies..and I have to call my assistance insurance company..mobile assistance comes they re-charge the battery and gives it life and it automatically starts without any problemo... I assume that this is the problem..and not a …

Hi all, This evening tried to start my car, but no luck. Just wouldn't fire. Kept on turing over, but nothing else. Thought it might have been flooded engine, so removed the fuse whilst turning over and tried again, but no luck. Any ideas what it could be? Thanks

Hi All, Just had a good look underneath my ZX300 TT (1992). Rust everywhere!! Can someone help with replacement panels etc'??? Any tips would be very much appreciated :confused: :o

NOTHING! Yep the old girl went straight thru! I was really chuffed. It had a coupla advisories, mostly minor. 1) Front tyres wearing inner edges (tracking - not a prob) 2) Needs some rear pads soon (easy enuf) 3) High level stop lamp not working 4) Centre exhaust blow 5) Radiator leaking (biggest problem!) Shes not rotted away anywhere either. Not bad for a K plate UK car! As for the radiator... Its not dropping a lot but Im gonna have to replace it. Looking at it its prob the original rad so its not done bad in fairness. Can anyone advise me, is it worth getting a original spec rad or an uprated one? And the exhaust I think I will re…

just come across this wide arch black zed on ebay which sounds like head gasket problem. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300zx-3-0L_W0QQitemZ180211315619QQihZ008QQcategoryZ10402QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I took off my battery today and had a look behind the engine, this is what i saw. note the red circle is an oil trail Then i saw this. Pipe is split so i changed it with a fresh one and inserted the spacer from the old. This is where it came from. I thought i got lucky and maybe this was where the smoke was coming from but sure enough i went for a test drive and its still smoking around that area. The rocker cover gasket doesnt seem too oily but then again i cannot really get a good look at the other side of the cover. any ideas people? as i want to book it in to have the oil leak fixed but i want to be sure where its coming from first....

I have just ordered a dvd/cd/mp3 player and a dvd fold out screen :hyper: I have a stereo in at the moment and its sort of wedged between the left and right brackets and apart from the cage at the front, thats the only thing holding it secure. As im now putting in 2 units whats the best way to secure them: ie should there be something else with the standard brackets to hold the stereo in place. Although there are some screw holes in the brackets, there is nothing in the side of the stereo to secure to. Any ideas, greatly appreciated. Cheers Graham

can any body please help. i am looking for my old 300zx tt auto. i sold it in the sussex area in 2006. the reg number was H828BGH and was purple, with a body kit, custom back lights etc. last seen in the arundel area. would like to know how it is getting on. cheers. gaz. gary.1973@hotmail.co.uk

All, Are there any common conversions or projects that have other engines than the standard TT?? Just wondered if anyone tried using a rolling shell and put something else instead of the normal lump... Cheers Ben - (Spezer)

Well, sold my old Zed almost exactly a year ago - bought an MR2 Turbo and wanted my Zed back ever since! So i bought the black Pearl! Mantav8s old one! Going to pick it up tonight - cant wait! I would say i'd post some pics but there were plenty in the Ad in the for sale section! Be at more meets this time too - going to put my name down for Z008 too.. Rgds Ed

Just had Tein and EDFC fitted to my baby....in order to get the most out of it, what settings should I put for normal everyday use, track and motorway cruisin? Thanks Paul

Have been a Zed owner for a year now. she's a 95 TT auto, 17" Alloys etc... But at 13 years old I felt she needed a B'day pressie, so: 1. Silcon Hoses in DAY GLOW LIME GREENNN...I can work on her in the dark now (plus the old ones where 13 years old) 2. HKS Oil Cooler 3. Timing Belt change 4. Tein Superstreet Shock/springs etc.... 5. Tein tie rods 6. New themostat 7. EDFC so I can mess with the suspension...OH TOYS TOYS TOYS... Now she's going to have a complete respray - It's a TVR flip colour that goes from Green to Blue in certain lights and angles. The respay is costing 1800 including paint and VAT. and I've just paid 3K for all…

My car now takes a lil longer to start and you can feel it needs a extra boost from the battery. In the past i've had yellow top optimas for car audio systems. Am i correct in saying that red tops are for starting? Also is that my solution? and is there a better or alternative battery worth a consideration?
