Just taken delivery of my new zed today - its on a K reg j spec manual LWB TT in gun metal grey. but here is the odd thing. It has all the things i would expect in a later series 2 car... Leather interior with electric driver and passenger seats Alcantara side panels Drivers Air-bag Cruise control with the stalk control not steering wheel control Air-con where you can actually change the direction of the air... Front seatbelts are on the door pillars not doors Rear 3 point seatbelts... What year did they start adding all that good stuff? :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

I would like to disconnect my battery so I can reset the ECU. What I want to know is. Do I have to physically remove the connection from the battery or could I just pull the battery fuse that is in the Small fuse box in the top lefthand side of the engine bay? 300zx TT auto - Jap Import

I removed my plenum and bits to change my knock censor, to do this you have to take the cam belt off to get the idle pully off, now ive never timed a car before let alone a v6, i can see all the marks i need to line up on the cams and bottom pulley, but a mate said make sure piston no 1 is top dead center on the combustion stroke before putting the belt on, is there any way of knowing what stroke that is without taking the plenum etc and rocker covers off to see the cams? Ive been told the lobes on the cams have to be pointing up on first cylinder (front one drivers side), is this right? and what way do they need to be facing on second cylinder? (front one passenge…

95TT J spec. Driving along quite happily in the city with dipped beam on. Go somewhere with less light so on come the high beams. However someone is coming towards me so the high beams go off for a sec. The problem is that I can do this for a while, turning the high beams off and then back on - about 5 changes in a 10 minute period. But then I start getting a weird delay. High beam off, then back on after a few seconds except they don't come on. Takes about 10-20 seconds for the light as if they are 'charging' back up. Now if I leave the stalk on high beam and wait for the light the dipped beam is dimmer than if I just have the stalk not kept on high beam. …

Just got some side side for my 2+2, just tried placing them along side my car. Looks like they are about 20cm too small at the back end! Are they for a SWB or am I not fitting them up right? :confused:

I have a couple of Blitz dump valves but they are on the outer pipes but....... these are on the inner ones. Is mine wrong??

Hi guys (& girls), I need to ask a favour. I have recently found that my speedo dial has broken and all of the dials came in a pack that contained both non-turbo and turbo dials. I would like to appeal to any of you that bought a set for your NA and do not need the turbo speedo dial. I am willing to pay for it, but this route will be a lot easier than getting a replacement from the manufacturers, as they only produce the full kit. The following members all bought these dials so I am appealing directly to you: Aaronkizmet, Adef, BAZZ, Big Marty, Daves_Zed, Devil, Fairladyzgirl, Gordy2885, HH300ZX, icu812, JJP, Komarme, Iahsx, Niceguyindahous, …

Hi just wondered if anyone knew the best place to get a replacement remote for a Greddy Profec E01 Boost controller. Car has been to body shop recently and they remote has vanished.

Ok the Z is still broken. Its got a really bad vibration under load at varying engine and road speeds. It needs looking at and i've not driven it for a 3 weeks. Its under warrenty at a BMW garage but i have to pay for the investigation into the problem and only the part and labour are covered if something is broken. My thought was whats the point in giving it to a BMW garage to look at when i can get a specialist to have a look???? Whats your thoughts?? Go for BMW and hope the brobs covered or get it sorted properly at cost?? Bearing in mind i upgraded loads on this car recently and am a little short on savings. Any garage recomendations in and ar…

I am getting a slight coolant smell in the cabin but ONLY when the car is at idle. cant find any drips or wet patches on the matt under the heater matrix so dont think that is leaking. What could it be that only shows itself when at idle and not at all during a long motorway journey?

I know that there exists a heater diagnostic you can perform from TTnet http://www.ttzd.com/tech/autocctech.html but if have the heaters that justy gives the set temperature and the ambient temperature not the fan speed and direction etc. Will this method work or is there another diagnosis method for these heaters?
