Car is running great but a strange thing happened today!? I was at a set of traffic lights ~(car was warm) in Park and the revs were idling at 2K revs?? dropped it into Drive with foot on brake and it levelled at 750, put it back in park and revved as usual at about 900 RPM?? Any thoughts? not happened since, was raining really bad if that helps.

I have heard many different views on the law about aftermarket hid kits, some people say the car needs to have headlight washers, others say gas dischargers, others say 12,000k are dull and glare other road users etc etc... My 92 UK tt has gas dischargers and h/l washers... Can i fit aftermarket hid`s to my car within the perimiters of the law? & if so, whats the law on temperatures as i like the 10,000k and 12,000k kits... cheers fellow Zedeers

Hi, Have recently acquired a 1990 300zx N/A. I have only driven up and down the driveway whilst I waited for the car papers to be finalized. Went out this morning to move the car and find that the transmission is stuck in Park. No warning lights but if you pull the changer back slightly there is a regular beeping. I have only seen this on a few cars and when you placed your foot on the bake pedal it released the lever. Any ideas. Regards Rae Thanks

Was wondering if it is possible to replace the turbos on a 300zx with engine still in? I have a mate who reckons he replaced both tubs with the engine in. So it must be posible but a right C**t to do?

Just been reading a thread on the GTROC about someone who has given the R33 rear lights an up-to-date look by converting them to LED http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/74161-r33-custom-led-tail-lights-group-buy.html?highlight=led+rear+lights Personally i think they look great. And as it seems to be one of the latest technologies used in the industry, has anyone thought of making something similar to use in 99 spec rear lights. I cant help but think that they would suit an LED conversion! Anyone else think the same, or am i just talking pish??? Nick

I'd just like to say a sincere thank you to Jimmer (and his mrs for putting up with him working on it!) for a top notch engine rebuild, at an extremely reasonable price! He had alot of problems with it but surprisingly, he still has a full head of hair at the end of it!!!! :rofl: :rofl: But joking apart, Thanks for all your work and advice jimmer. :bow: :bow: :bow: Much appreciated :D :D

Is the arm which joins the passenger to drivers wiper the same on any other nissan's? Tulip is in a spot of bother and asked me to post this. She's on hols down south Ire. and will be passing a large scrapyard in the morning. She says the end of the joining arm has a nylon type bushing which has worn away. Cheers

What do I need to make a double din headunit fit so it looks stock?

anybody know where I can get one for my Z?

Hi all, Just spent the afternoon trying to "improve" my saggy seat belts. Read this forum and just about every other. I think though that the springs inside are just tired. I've tried winding them up a bit more then putting it all back together but it doesn't really improve much. Firstly can you get replacement seat belts? Will those from a different Nissan fit? I only need the white recoil part as the rest is sound. I wonder if this is interchangeable between another Nissan? For the sake of slightly sagging belts I'd sooner not spend £100 a side sorting it so trying to find belts that are interchangeable might save some £. Cheers

Another offset question booo Now I know that na has different front brakes to a tt But the wheels are exactly the same yes? I found a post saying 40 would be ok Mine have 16 6JJ 46 stamped on them so the offset would be 46 will they fit an NA Z ? I know back should be fine, its the front thats a bit different

has anybody used anti-lag on a 300zx before? I was thinking about this today because am thinkin about changing the engine management and anti-lag sounds awesome! also could hks 2530's cope with the extra heat?
