Hey folks Just wondered when changing the belt, pulleys and tensioner (as ive got a noisy idler pulley) should the whole auto tensioner be replaced or just the tensioner bearing,I see dan (DTA) does a kit but didnt know if its the whole auto tensioner or just the bearing thats supplied. Cheers Paul

Approx 5.15 this evening - Thursday, looked a goody, larger than 'normal' silver alloys...........possibly ("on") 19's!!!!! Certainly not one of the usual zeds around this part of the World!!

Peeps, Ive just re visited the ztech website for the first time in ages, and see that it has moved premises. I know Chris took over not too long ago and was wondering if anyone has seen the new premises and is it a bit more suitable for the work than the old premises (which to be honest was nothing more than a large dingy hole in the middle of a farm), had any contact with Chris, or most importantly had there car worked on?? In the 2 years of zed ownership i spent a serious amount of money with the old ztech (tbh it was probably at ztechs peak) and i realise that a fair few incident seriously damaged Ztechs reputation for good work. So i am curious to see w…

Hi all I have just signed up and subbed. Im currently on the lookout for my first 300zx TT Manual version, so I should hopefully pick one up soon and I will get some pics up asap. Great forum. I will no doubt be asking for plenty of advise :hyper: All the best Nick

Well i have finally found my leak!!! It was the water pump ffs. See this link: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=98728&referrerid=5526 So looks like Jack was right Nearly broke my fingers when pulling the crank pulley off as it snapped and hit my hand :rant: Good reason now to buy a lightweight one My pcv valves where all clogged up with sh#t too althought the little valves still worked. The plenum and the hoses of the tops of the turbos where covered in oil. Is this normal?

Hey everyone Just thought i´d point out a Nissan Workshop manual for the Z32 on ebay. Interesting thing is that it´s in English being sold on the German ebay site..so might go for a bargain if anyone is interested. item # 200178560234 :)

Hello all, 2-3 weeks ago I had a cobra alarm fitted with total closure (window closure). My battery was replaced twice in the following week. Got a refund and had the alarm removed. Was told by the AA guy that the alarm was fitted incorrectly and was draining more power than it should have been. Since the alarm was removed I have had no problems whatsoever and its been a few weeks since then. So now I need a new thatcham category 1 alarm/immobiliser fitted with total closure. I want to get a toad Ai606 with the additional window closure and the necessary additional motor for the passenger door (window?) or so i have been told. Best price i have so far is from toadalarm.…

a bit of a long shot as it was three weeks ago, but I saw a red Zed in the Asda car park in Shrewsbury I think on the 7th Nov (Wed). You (the owner) may have seen me snooping around it as you came out of Asda. Are there many Zeds around north Shropshire? It's quite an occasion when I see one!

Dude, as an idea, have you thought about doing a celendar just of your car? After your photo shoot you have the pics and I bet there are enough people on here that like your car enough to have one.

Hi everyone i'm new on here, looking foward to getting to know you lot. unfortunately i didnt want it to be under these circumstances but. i'm from the north east (south shields) just bought a zed with 54k on the clock. had it a couple of weeks and now it doesnt start. can anyone recommend a garage or advice on where to get parts. ive been reading the forums and it has the same symptoms as some ppls on here. at first it hesitates (revs drop) when i press the accelerator then picks up. then I had trouble getting it started and now it just doesnt start. also fan comes on at start up. is there a way of getting codes without taking to garage? …

Hey folks The light in my boot's staying on when I close the boot. I guess there's a litle switch somewhere that's sticking? Any idea where it is? Or do you think the problem could be something else? Cheers! :nana2:

Was it you? Tried to get up alongside but the traffic was terrible!

Yesterday I started to notice a change with the engines response time relating to the change from normal driving to full throttle - it felt like the engine was holding back and then i noticed what felt like a mild missfire or rumble with the pedal on the floor, I was going about 40mph at the time and during this the car only managed to get to about 60mph - deffo not normal. 5 miles down the road and I tried it again - this time all was ok and the car pulled nicely with tonnes of power and turbo spooling. could this be a coil pack related problem or something more nasty?? I havnt a clue where to start looking and best of I have a new job to start on Monday! …

iv found the perfect mod for you to complement that super high level rear spoiler you said you wanted... check out these babies...

...and this one actually has an engine in it...er...albeit one that is "slightly" poorly. Despite it being a crackin' motor, and although I'd just bought a 200Tdi engine and ALL the bits to swap it in (can you sense an undercurrent of exasperation here? Lol!) my other half just wasn't getting on with our Land Rover 90. The plain and simple fact is she's just too little for a Landy and it was a bit on the difficult side for her to drive. I can't moan though as she's just bought me the mother of all presents ( http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=103596 ). So knowing how much she loves Z's I've just bought petey099's NA for us (mainly her TBH). All being wel…

Parked next to your zed in the pub car park at the begining of the Liverpool - Porto match (Come on you reds, excellent result!!!) Never seen your zed in the area before? where your from?

Just wondering ive read on the net about the prices for parts and they reckon stock front pads are £70 is that right evan for the N/A model?

Hello All Sorry for repeating this but looking at previous posts my problem may be different, not sure. Basically it's the old chestnut of key won't release out of ignition barrel, the little push button will not push in at all, the key still freely rotates both directions so i can still turn the engine over or turn it off etc. the car is an auto jap 92, i've tried moving the gear selector, it's in park of course but can't free it up by giving it a slight wiggle, steering lock isn't on either, so i really don't know. used to get this occassionally but the key always released after you turned the engine over again or drove somewhere etc. any help grea…

Hi, can any one suggest any recomendations of clutch for a tt and anything that would be useful to do when doing it..Is a new lightened flywheel worthwhile as well? Has anyone used Z1 for parts like these? Thanks
