Hello All Finally got the plenum off, bit off a pig, lots of pipes to renew now, right, as the plenum is off ive got wires and connectors and tubes all over the shop, lol. Now when i come to put the thing back on, its probably gonna be a nightmare.=, so was thinking of removing as much as i can to clean up the engine bay, so did a search a found a good one on the aiv removal, couple of questions, is it the same to do on a twin turbo, as the sticky is on a non turbo, and do i have to do anything with the ecu??? Secondly would really like to remove the egr system, done a search on it but theres nothing really conclusive on how to go about it, so if anyone has some pics…

I have a problem with flashing my main beam:- i) When headlights are off and I pull the stalk back to flash, then only the driver's side light flashes. ii) When sidelights are on and I pull the stalk back to flash, then only the driver's side light flashes. iii) When headlights are on and I pull the stalk back to flash, then both main beams flash. iv) When headlights are on and I push the stalk forwards, then both main beams stay on. Any ideas? Cheers Dave

happy birthday mate. have a good one. :duffer: paul & kaz.

hi does anyone know if my knackered temp sensor would overfuel my zed so much that you would think i have a bad fuel leak cheers

Posted a little while back about issues with my main beams. Well it's gotten a little worse now. I fitted hid's to upgrade my dipped beam which is fantastic. So I did the obvious and compared the new hid to the main beams. All fine. Ate some food and decided to go for a spin, no more high beams at all. Does this sound right? (lights are on dipped, 2nd click on the pod control): If I pull the light stalk toward me to flash mains I can hear a relay clicking in the engine fuse box. If I push the stalk away to lock it on main beams the relay does not click. The main beam blue dash light no longer comes on. Bulbs are not blown. :cry: …

White Z A2 near Bexley kent coast bound at 12.20pm today, looked a nice clean Z.

Been having a look for a mech to work on my factory standard 300 TT Auto. Andy Duff seems to be a top fella on here, tried to contact him on z32@blueyonder.co.uk, but it pinged back to me anyone got his contact details.

well, like the title says, hello all!! :D at the mo, i dont have a 300ZX but i have a plan to recitfy that problem!! :rofl: but my ride is a 2.5 V6 Calibra..so it aint too bad :p apart from it being wrong wheel drive!! just a quiclie though, are ZX understeery at all? i have heard reports of them being quite prone to power induced oversteer (which is fun!) but not a big fan of understeer, but i am thinking that that big lump out front may cause it...what says you? oh and can someone prod the webmaster as i sent him a PM and he has not read it yet! :p

i just asked for an honest opinion on the value of my car and the thread was removed! i wasn't trying to sell it and was just after advice as the value of zeds seems to differ so much.thanks for nothing whoever removed it. :confused:

Any body help, ive put my car pack together after having the plenum off, everything is back as it should be, i turned the key to fire it up and it just keeps turning over but not firing, ive got fuel pumping round, spark plugs are sparking and im pretty confident ive got all the timing right, ive also checked all connections etc, can anybody through some light on the problem?

Now then Nick - those lightened pulleys: were they specifically for an NA??? Cheerz

The battery on my zed is fu*... sorry, kaput! Iv trawled through the search which bought up a thread from turboz asking the same question but in the end he did not change his so no real results. Its seems like a silly question but can any1 shed some light on what battery to use in the zed? I have 3 amps and a carputer setup running in it so i would need more than the standard recommended one? should i just get the biggest, highest cranking and ah battery that i can fit in the hole? should i be wary about cheaper batteries... any advice welcomed, including abuse for asking such a nob question!

Hi guys.. Got a major problem with my suspension. The car has been fine but it has been squeeking for quite a while and never thought that there was anything wrong / to worry about so i thought i would put up with it until i get it serviced and get it checked over. About 10 mins ago i went to fill up with some petrol which is just around the corner.. Got their fine, but on the way back i heard something grinding. I got home and found this to my horror! Is this the upper link? If so how much are they to get replaced? Any help much appreciated Rob EDIT: Also.. Ive had a look on zcenter's website and the original link arm looks dif…

Hi guys,i'm quite interesting in buying a 94 zed cabriolet,but was just wondering if the hoods on these cars are electric or manual? :confused: Cheers

Plodding along with removing the subframe. At the moment i have bled the front brakes and need to disconnect the hoses from the wheel arch that go to the disc calipers. Looks like i should do it near the wheel arch. But i cant get the things off:- I have already unscrewed a clip from the wheel arch.

HB mate - have a good day :duffer: :duffer:

I tried posting this in the FAQs section but didnt get much response. So ill try here as well Im in the market for the 99spec Xenon healdights and ive been shopping around and found very cheap set for sale in the US. Now I have a 89 Jspec model zed and my only concern is install the headlights. I have seen the pre-wired version and no wired version and it seems from what ive read in the aus300zx.com forums the pre wired version wont work for the Jspec models cuz they are designed for the US zeds. Has anyone on this forum brought and installed the 99spec xenon headlights and know how to do it. If i buy just the healdights, do i have to buy a HID kit anyways or is…

does everything fit the same as a tt ? ie is the bellhousing and mounts the same ? do you use a tt clutch and flywheel?
