Hey, i noticed today that there was quite a bit of water under my car. i checked under and noticed that there was a pipe which looked like it was a drain and it was dripping water. it was at the back of the engine on the passenger side and came through the bulkhead. i have checked through the forums and it seems to be the air con draining pipe which realease water from the air con. As it is now november i dont use the air con and havent used it in quite a while so i was wondering why this pipe would be draining water and if it is going to be a problem and should i do something about it. i have had the car about 5 months or more and never noticed this before. it is no…

Wednesday at 4.30am at redbridge, you came off A12 and went up M11. Can't belive it i normaly take the ZED to work on wednesdays, but not this time.

hey, i have a water leak. i have checked where it is coming from and it seems to be the air con drain pipe which comes through the bulk head on the passanger side just above the exhaust manifold. i have never seen it leak/drain before and i also dont use the air con in my car as it is in the middle of october and freezing any way. i do use the heater in the car. i was just wondering why it would be leaking/draining now and will it cause problems??? Cheers Kyle

Is installation simply to remove the old AFM plug and to rejoin/splice into the original loom with the Q45 AFM wiring loom ? Thx Lee

Hi, I have just purchased a 300ZX TT manual, when I viewed it, it started first time from cold each time, I have just driven home (170 miles) and it won't start now. I stopped twice during the journey and it started both times, but when I got home I parked it and turned it all off whist I moved the old car and now it will not start. The lights on the dash come on and it turns over, but just won't fire, I also noticed a smell of fuel when I got out. I left it for about 20mins and then went back, but still the same problem. Has anyone got any ideas? Alex (Newbie)

Hello, my little reservoir needs filling, but i'm not sure what i filled it with last time... Alas, I can't remember if I used ATF fluid or actual power steering fluid. I seem to recall that I didn't use power steering fluid cause someone told me never to use power steering fluid since it contains corrosive bits which encourage leakage - and leak it has... onto my now squeaky belts which makes me question myself yet again. Is there a simple way of telling from the fluid whether it is ATF or steering fluid? Is it possible to drain the power steering system (hydrological HICAS is still installed) as I'm assuming thelphat bad shit happens when you mix the …

Hi all I have been browsing the forum on and off for a long while now and checking out info on the 300zx tt and there are some very nice 300's on here ;) I have been wanting a 300zxtt for many years now as its the 1st car i really fell in love with when they came out and i have bought and read many many buyers guide's on them, the Evo mag with Gio's now gone silver 300 from 2002 and the latest one with Funkysi's very lovely 300 in this momths Jap mag, and although i find these very very informative .... the end result is i get scared witless at the things that go wrong with them, the way the mags go on i always end up getting the impression that the car is always …

Hi ive started to hear a noise coming from the passenger side, around the wheel arch area and inside the car behind the dash when my car is on tickover. Its loud and kind of sounds like a gurgle noise, im not really sure how to describe it. Could it be air in the coolant system?? Has anyone else come across this??

is there any wide arched n/a's and how difficult is it to do fancy the idea would give it a go but what additional costs are there involved no need to pay for a garage to do it as ill do it myself

Hi there, I've used 10k boost on all my previous cars, cos they've all been quite old and it makes me feel like i've done something useful. I bought some the other day for the z but when I opened the bonnet, I found there was a confusing number of pipes. I shut the bonnet and reopened it again to make sure but no, the pipes were still there. It has directions on the packet to put it after the AFM but I don't know where that is. On my old supras it was obvious but I did have trouble keeping the car running whilst I did it. Can I put it directly in after the turbos where the turbo pipes connect to the head bit or shall I throw it in the bin? Any help greatl…

HI All. Just been out trying to sort out the rear engine plates that came with the auto/ manual convertion kit but it seems I have two bottom halves. Having never had a manual I have no idea whats going on,eg is there meant to be a top half? or can I use the top half of the auto? I dont seem to be able to find a picture anywhere.

Had a manual convertion done a couple months ago and it was fine but im starting to get a noise in second gear the most when pulling away the third it sounds like a scraping sound i dont hear it in 4th or 5th and if you dip the clutch it goes any ideas guys thanks.

Got a few bits n pieces through today :hyper: Unfortunatly Im not there to fondle them in person :D but i got my old man to take some pics for my viewing pleasure lol so i thought I would share them with you all
