i have recently purchased a 300zx and have alot of questions but i'll start with this one. what is the overdrive button on my auto box and is it best to drive with it on or off?

Wednesday morning was freezing; my Nissan had troubles starting. When it finally fired up, it seemed to be running on 4 cylinders (sounding exactly like a subaru). I risked it and took it for a drive, then the cylinders started to work again once the car had warmed up fully. Has this happened to anyone before? Also, £10 of fuel only does 12 miles!! Is it the injectors?

first off hello all , just wondered if any of you ever seen anything of my old zed h362 dmy , i used to own it black 300zx tt uk , before me chunk owned it , :nana2:

Ideally i need to get my car insured today. I'm a bit of a awkrud one to insure because. The car is heavily modified and running big power, spent allot on it. I'm only 23, it's a import. Fully Comp. I would like agreed value. But i do have no points, a daily driver in my name and only need limited miles to say 5k and it is a 1990 so she is a oldey and 4 years no claims I have tried Adrian Flux and waiting for Sky insurance to get back to me, who else would be worth trying?

I'm in 2 minds of what to do with the car situation, i dont know weather to keep mine and spend a small fortune on it , bearing in mind that its got 168000 km on it which is about 105000 miles or get another 1 and leave it standard-ish. its either that or get a GTR skyline i need advice with this so any help is much appreciated, oh and its gonna be a mixture of body and engine work. :confused:

To all, hi My car has recently gone into a spray shop. It went in with a flat battery but I recieved a phone call today from the painter complaining that it wont start. I thought it would be an easy fix cos it has happened before I either jump it or give the PTU a fiddle (calm down, you know what i mean) but NOTHING!! The car has an imobilsier, which did not respond as i pressed the fob. I have no power to dials except hazards, heater dials on left and lights? My question is could it be the imob? if so can i by-pass it? if not what else could it be?!? Never had any probs with the alarm b4..its an old clifford. Trying not to pass judgement but I…

Hi guys Rebuild time, the car is goosed. One of the pistons decided to part company with the rod and has trashed the bore. The garage are buying a used block but I was trying to safe some cash by sourcing pistons myself. Anyone know where I can get some forged standard sized pistons? I dont want to have the bores enlarged as this will mean more cash. Many Thanks

07:30 on Tues Morning, had a large spoiler. I was heading Eastbound on the A40, just entering the Hanger Lane underpass in my black one when I saw you in the opposite lane leaving it. Don't think you saw me!

Hi- has anyone bought and fitted one of these? (There is a photo with a SWZ logo in it) If so- any feedback? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300-ZX-FRONT-BUMPER-SUPERB-LOOK-NEW_W0QQitemZ200159669743QQihZ010QQcategoryZ72206QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

As above, just wondered.

My 92 300zx TT has been chipped and is running 14psi, it performs fantastic in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears. However, in 4th on full throttle just as its coming up to full boost the car starts to hesitate "misfire", the boost stays constant so i know its not loosing pressure, the car starts to jerk and not accelerate as quickly. I have tried to repeat the process in 5th gear but it seems to run ok...only 4th seems to have the problem. I have also repeated the process running it on low boost but that does not clear the problem. Any ideas anybody?

Hi guys, just wondering about the bleed valves on my car, its fitted with two brass valves, problem is i am worried that the turbos are running slightly different boost. could i take them both off and join both these pipes with t-pieces and a single boost jet in the middle of em both? as this imo should run em both at the same boost level. cheers
