Is there a common problem with hazards not working??? i have changed the switch already with no luck. i dont think its the relay as the indicators still click but when i turn on the hazards nothing happens. if i turn the hazards on while one of the indicators is flashing they stop altogether?????? the wiring diagram shows a control box where is it?

I'm looking at putting my old auto Celica back on the road as I have just moved house and is now a longer commute and the petrol bill is going to cripple me. I phoned my insurance company who the zed is with (Sky insurance) and they informed me that my second car cannot use the no claims that is used on the Zed (9 years). Now, I'm Confused :confused: . Will I start a new policy and then have 2 lots of no claims on the go? If I make a claim on the new policy I bet it will affect the other policy as they take into account claims on any vehicle, don't they? I just don't get how this works and how it is fair!!!!!!! Can someone explain it to me pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaase…

sometimes when its really cold, when i start my car misfires then clears as it starts to warm up, does anyone know what this maybe :confused:

My car idles well at 900 rpm. A little higher than stock but thats how I had it set and I like it :) Now I have changed my heater matrix the idle jumps to 1100rpm when the climate control is on. Not had it on for about a year as had no heater matrix or air con. Now the only reason I can think of for the idle increase is to power the air con pump. Well I no longer have an air con pump so I want my idle to stay at 900 with the heater on as that doesnt use loads of power like the air con. Do I just pull off the yellow plug or will that cause bigger problems?

hi ther guys and girls,im just putting a wee ? to you and would like your opinion.do u think my car would sute white wheels?

Can't decide whether to get the alloys refurbed or just get some new ones, I guessing the refurb would be cheaper but would they comoe up as nice as a new set??

Hello, i recently took my wheel in to get what i thought was a puncture repaired, however it turns out that the alloy ha begun to split a bit around the inside rim edge. The crack is abuot 2-3cm long direction square across the entire rim. Is this fixable, or is this a terminal sickness my wheel now has? Anyone know some whell repair places around Cambridgeshire area? thanks.

What would be the approx cost for an engine rebuild on a TT Zed. Engine is currently losing water & has very low compression on 2 rear cylinders ?? Where could i find a GOOD used engine ?? Thx

hi - looking ot order goods from Z1 motorsport but dont know how much duty/vat i will charged on these goods as it may be cheaper to order in UK - can anyone advise?

Some of you may remember that I had my own site called 300zx-mods.co.uk. Shortly after the Zed went off the road I stopped updating this and a year later didn't bother renewing. I was browing the hard drive on my PC last night (found some interesting stuff but that's another story). I found all the write ups with step by step instructions and step by step picture guides that I wrote. Each blog gives details and pictures of exactly what screws and clips you need to undo to get parts off, tips and tricks of removals and anything else you would possibly need to do the job yourself. The reason I started the site was becuase back in 2002 it was hard to find somo…

Does anyone know the spec of my getgreddy chip? I think they were based on a JWT chip well that's what he told me anyway but i can't find any spec on it. Can someone confirm this please and if it is based on a jwt i can get the spec from their website.

Just thought I would post my list of what I am going to buy and replace on my engine when it comes out this winter and see if I could get some opinions... - Engine rebuild kit from Z1 or Czp. (around $1400) - 120K Timingbelt kit - GT600R turbo - Venom 550CC (bought. Going to test them) - Z1 SMIC intercooler - EGR removal kit - Doolz with apexi - OEM wiring harness - 2,5" test and downpipes - complete PVC set - and a new chip of course... - new OEM motor mount - Z1 oil cooler - A new clutch (ideas. Would like it to be as close to oem feeling as possible) And of course remove the CC,AIV,EGR and so on.. Think that was it.. What do you…

I have a pair if Viper Wings that need prep'd and painted but was wondering if any members have put any mesh on the vents on the wings? Just a thought maybee but then again I might just leave as they are. Any pics welcome as well. Cheers John

just fitted a complete cream leather with red piping interior over the weekend, makes the car look great. :hyper: so glad to get rid of the tweed interior.

I got asked today what the difference was and i didn't know? I seen the 240 when i was in Canada and to look at it's the same as the 200. Is there any difference under the bonnet??

God this is a quick Z and on street tyres
