When I bought my 300 it only came with one key. I took it to my local key cutters and they cut me one and it didnt work. Took it back and the bloke said that the barrell of the key was too worn and they should have never cut it for me in the first place! Anyways... how do I go about gettin a replacment? Is there a key number stamped somewhere on the car that I can use to get a key cut? Cheers

Before I call it a day and sell my zed on the bay for stupid money :cry: one last question in hope of fixing without major cost.Had new pcv's(2 valves 2 pipes i believe) fitted about 200 miles ago(don't use the car alot was about 3 weeks ago) since then smoke is coming from exhausts(both I think) on relese of throttle after a few seconds of full boost. Also the dipstick has popped out a few times(at above 11psi) and blown oil over battery. Everything else seems fine power and all. Could this be the pcv's at fault. Car did have a brief few over high boost on incorrect boost controller setting but is running at 9.5psi. thanks in advance and happy new year to all

How do i do that? I would prefer to just use Lee, far less formal than Import-ance :rofl:

i tightened the alt belt yesterday as it has been squelling a bit of late. followed the instructions from an Andy Duff post so pretty sure i have done it correctly. tried to start it today after having the stereo on, interior lights, etc and it just gave a squeek and wouldnt do anything. have i done the belt too tight? how do you know how much to adjust it?

whilst under car iv noticed that it has tein adjustable coilovers iv been informed that you need "the keys" to adjust them anyone have these or know were i can get them as i want to raise it up a little as its far to low and i keep catching speed humps cheers

Does any one have an I Trip for there I Pod? I got one for christmas and tried it out on my stereo at home but wasn't too great. Just wondering if anyone else has one and how there's works before i take it back

:( :cry: I recently had a clutch fitted must have been a couple of months now,,, anyway yesterday I was driving and testing the limits abit with boost controller on high... and I found it difficult to change the gears for a moment. So I slowed down and stopped. I then put it into 1 and tried to drive off and the car is just not moving.. The engine is revving fine and sounds all ok just not engaging in gear. I tried to start of in 2 but still nothing. Even reverse is not working.. The clutch pedal feels normal. and has not gone soft.. Have I done my clutch in already or has something else gone?? Any Help and advise would be apprecia…

As ive had my zed for nearly two years now, and its been ill for most of that time. Ive now got the cash to sort it. As i was giving it a little hoover in the boot, i lifted up the carpet to find under the grey foam to the left two polythene bags containing you guess it, the original targa bags still in wrapping, they are 100% like new, then to put the icing on the cake, under the space saver wheel (which looks like its never touched the road) i find the original fairlady Z owners handbook, in Japanese though, only thing it has the lower right corner slightly turned up, otherwise near perfect condition. Well chuffed, just need to get the Nissan fire extinguisher no…

HB Mate, have a good day. :duffer:
