well, my water pump has finally given up and snapped my fan belt. i've been told that to do the pump the cam belt will need to be done at the same time. is this the case or can i simply replace the pump?

Our stupid governement is considering, again, making drivers of big engined cars pay £1000 in road tax. Putting the cost of buying a £60,000 Range Rover up is fine, because the buyer will not notice. The reports I have heard before simply said if the engine did not have a Co2 rating it would go on size, and 3000cc engines would get clobbered. If this happenes there will be many cars that simply become worthless, who will buy them? Who can afford £1000 for a few thousand miles a year? Also, all people who sell parts, service, or import them will be out of business. Even the insurance companies will notice a drop in revenue. If we sit back and let this happen…

The last few days i had been smelling something like burnt oil while i was driving and then my gf noticed a few small drops of oil on her driveway after i dropped her off home last night. So i inspected the area under the rear of the engine bay for five minutes but couldnt see ay dripping oil. It was at night to so i couldnt see anything in the engine bay until today when i saw this on the mainfold I tried to get a photo of where i suspect the leak is coming from but i couldnt get a good enough shot with my crappy camera. But to give you a rough idea its coming from just under the plemum here; Coming from what looks like an injector bractor …

Just bought my first 300ZX, joined the club and thought I'd say hello. It's a metallic blue 1994 manual TT UK model and I'm only the 3rd owner. I bought the car off a friend who had it for the last 10 years and know the car pretty well. A letter from the first owner even states it was one of the last batch of 9 UK models supplied by Nissan UK. Loads of small stuff to do to get it back to it's former glory, but that'll be the fun part. So apologies in advance for any dumb questions I ask on the forum. Dave

but it costs to damn much to get it shipped!!!!!

I have a manual TT Engine ECU I am looking to sell but before I do I was wondering if anyone has had any dealings with the people who have chipped it. It has a 2 stage boost button on it, with normal and higher the 2 settings for the boost. I spoke to the company who are called Turbosystems Motorsport, Unit 9, Winpenny Rd, Parkhouse Ind Estate East, Newcastle-Under-Lyme, Staffs ST5 7RH on the sticker on the ECU, they said it was chipped but would be ok to use on a standard car. Anyone got any input regarding this before I list it or any intrest. I have included a pic of the ECU/Sticker on it. Cheers John Crisp

i've been lookin at a new exhaust i really want a HKS super drager single exit but i dont have spare £500, but i've seen a japspeed one on ebay for £275, i'm gonna go to powerflow tommorrow just out of intres to see if they can make something up for it but i've been told to stay away from powerflow,what do you all think :confused:

As above^^^^

Help needed please.. Ever since owning my z it has had a vibration at about 35-55mph like the tracking is way out (which its not). The strange thing is that it only does it until the car has warmed up 5-10 mins then will go completely. Until the next time its driven from cold. Anyone experianced the same?

found this on ebay so sent him this message I am interested in this kit but from the pictures i see the front looks fine but the sideskirts on the blue Z on your ad is a widearch car , so what do the sideskirts on this kit look like, also the rear i see on the picture of the red car is a UK spec with the small opening for the number plate rather than the jap spec plate, is this a true representation of the rear valance.

Fot those of you who do not have HID lights, I expect you can't go wrong fitting these into your head lamps........ http://www.powerbulbs.com/product_detail.asp?prod=115

anybody had much to do with these tubs , as i bough some a while ago from the usa via my dead mate jaypsc and believe they are bb type, but as they were secondhand and done supposedly 3k i had em stripped and inspected, and have decided to have the 360 degree cartridges fitted, question1,,is there likely to be any different spool up time is just the usa that prefer bb versus 360 and why? as my very experienced turbo specialist prefers 360 as being bullit proof but is that at a loss of performance?? rich

Got to nurse my Zed from Glasgow down to Z Tech in Swindon tonight! Leaving at 2am so as to arrive first thing and then its a bus to Heathrow and a flight back up north at 1300! Its another journey that i really could do without but after not having my zed for 12 months and then once i get it back being told not to drive it for fear of it going bang! it is an essential journey.

I have heard a relay clicking behind the speedo/rev counter the past few weeks. I does it with no throttle i.e. when slowing down. When the relay clicks on and off the car jerks quite a bit as if you are quickly dabbing the throttle. I have checked and adjusted the TPS, the voltage was .444 and I've adjusted it to .452. Only a small difference. I now can't hear the relay behind the dash clicking but my idle is now around 1600rpm. Have I done something wrong or does something else need adjusting ? Does anyone know what this relay is for ? should the relay be clicking on and off depending on where the throttle is ? CheerZ Paul

I'm hoping someone on here knows DaFox. The guy who owned my car in the sig before Spongey. I know he had some paint done on it in the past and at the moment my paint guy is having trouble matching up the colour. I thought it was a pearl but now he thinks it could be an effect white. :confused: Any hints on how I might be able to contact him would be appreciated. Cheers

Wanna change the trim in the car. what does everyone recomend using? blue if possible

I have change the engine oil with a Pro S Silkolene 5W-40, I can still hear this tippet noise though not as much as before but would like it to stop altogether Any ideas on how to resolve this issue short changing the tippet? thanks
