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?

as above would winching a zed onto a flatbed backwards in neutral cause any damage

Right, I am fitted new springs and dampers as well as camber adjustment arms, front and rear + front tension rids all from powertrix. What other suspension bushings really need to be replaced? I am getting new hicas arms for it, but would like to know what additional bushings I need. I guess I also need the gaskets too between strut top and turrets.

need help ive had a stage 3 chip fitted to ecu the fan is running constant and its overfueling really bad is there something i have to do to the car or is it the chip

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,i am after a new lamda sensor as one of mine has packed up on my tt,its a three wire type anyone know where i can get one,have seen a few cheap ones on ebay but not sure if they are any good,also after some of the injector o ring lower seals the ones that go on the bottom of the injectors into the housing,cheers

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

Silver Zed L reg, black centres on wheels, I saw you coming around canklow roundabout about 6.30am this morning!!I was in my other car so you wouldnt have noticed me :D

This lot turned up today from the US. The Powertrix stuff is simply fantastic. Amazing quality and was worth the money just as bits of nice engineering to look at LOL! Had no idea the top arms were that big. They look tiny in the photo online.

I was thinking about selling it - although I'm not sure. We've got the baby now - it's not the most family friendly car! It's unusual as it's a genuine 1999 car with all the 1999 spec refinements (different front and rear bumpers, lights, white dials, stiffer chassis, uprated brakes etc etc etc) 300ZX Z32, genuine 1999 car, NA, auto, 2+2, targa, very nice late spec fabric interior. Standard and mint except very nice 18" wheels, Apexi intake and stainless twin exit exhaust. Original Skyline metalic purple, 63,000 miles, full (specialist) service history since it's been in the UK. So.... what's it worth? A couple of 1999 BMWs for …

right after the rear brake binding issues (not BMC, calipers, pads, discs etc) the abs actuator from john300zx has been fitted and the bleeding process has begun. No problems with the first circuit but having great difficulty with the second circuit. am i doing something wrong??? FL - FR - RL - RR - ABS actuator 2 bleed points ???

I have a whining clutch - the sound disappears when i push the clutch pedal down (even in neutral) but then reappears when i let go (and increases in pitch when i accelerate). Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? And secondly, would it make a huge difference to the acceleration? For some reason my Z (SWB TT Manual) just doesnt feel as fast as it used to - im not sure whether this is just me getting used to the speed or could be due to the clutch. cheers in advance!

I know you are all going to say the stock oil pressure gauge is buttons dont worry about it and i am not as i have an aftermarket gauge too but it is a nice to have and it is good to have everything working especilly when i come to sell it. since my last oil change i noticed that the oil gauge is slow to respond and even more accurate than ever and struggles to show higher pressures. At one point it was actually reversed (going up when the oil pressure was going down and visa versa) but this was solved by the old electrical fix of turning off and turning on again. Have i knocked something when doing the oil change? where does the sensor sit? anyone ever experien…

hi there chaps i'm about to up the boost slightly on my twin tub, and haveing already planned for this on my other car (a 2.5 v6 twin tub mitsi) the chaps that know their onions with the VR4's have advised that the stock re-circ dump valves will likely leak as the springs and other internals weren't up to the job and are likely slightly weaker with age too. so is this likely to be the same with the Z32?, afterall my car being an october 92 is five years older than my 97 VR4. if so, what dump valve arrangement is best? replace them where they, or get the hard pipe kit as per Z1 motorsport HKS thingies? thanks guys shrew

Can anyone give me some advice, been thinking of selling the zed and buying an R33 ,theres seems to be a few different versions around, can anyone clear up what the differences are in them Cheers

Brought my zed a week ago and its parked outside now. I keep looking at it and saying to myself that its such a good looking car. Q. - Is this the best loking car in the world for under £30 K I think so - over to you....I'm of to look at my car again :hyper:

I just placed a nice big order at Z1 :shock: Any guesses what i got? came to over 5k
