Hi all, I have noticed a small leak today, it appears to be directly under the Sump / Oil Filter. There is a small pool of oil (approx 20x15cm) and I did not see any drip drip drip while looking. Noticed it at about 14:30 today, its been parked at work since 10:00 following a 30 mile motorway trip in stop start traffic. Anyone got some wisdom to throw on this (and yes the oil filter and sump plug are tightly screwed in) Cheers

As stated in a previous thread, my turbo's may/maynot be dying. With this in mind, I'm going to have to start saving. Anyone got any recommendations on turbo upgrades, manufacturers, models etc..... I may even change the cams, pistons etc... so any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Paul

We all know that the MAF we have does not like water, but the position of most number plates on imports allows water in through the top vent on the bumper straight onto the MAF! Have got to admit the no plate position on the UK car, stop this occuring, so maybe contributes to UK cars rumoured improved relaibility?

i have owned my 300zx for over a year now and have sometimes come# on here to look around but this is the first time i have posted. i drove a bit less than 200 miles up to yorkshire on monday and the car was fine. i let it cool down before the end of my journey. When i went to the car in the morning which was parked in a multi-story it was ok and i made my way down to the exit. While i was looking for my ticket by the ticket machine i looked round at the car and loads of smoke was billowing out of the drivers side exhaust.

hi all got my filter today. Z32 tt Apexi power intake with jap instructions. Bit rusty on the old japanese so wonder if anyone had uk pdf or anything so I can browse through it before fitting it saturday. Cheers in advance

Hi folks using the z32 power train in a ford anglia so don't have zx experience. looking to buy a new oil cooler to fit in the space I've got available and prsume it's a case of connecting the two hoses from the oil filter housing to an oil cooler as the supply and return. trouble is the new radiator I have purchased has two small connections mid way up on passenger side which I'm told are for the oil cooler. does this mean the oil cooler is cooled by engine coolant or should I blank them off and stick to the air cooled method many thanks Paul

Hi all, This maybe a silly question! But do both the manual and auto tt zeds have exactly the same throttle bodys?? As ive bought a plenium with throttle bodies 2nd hand to have polished but not sure if its off an auto or manual regards dan

Hi guy's I've had a quick search on here, but can't find it. I know nothing about this, so bear with me please.. I'm looking for a guide to fitting/installing hardpipe mounted BOV's (the BOV's are already mounted on the pipes).. I've found the guide for fitting the recirc replacement type BOV, but not the hardpipe mounted type.. For example, where do the vacuum pipes off the BOV'S go to?.. And do I need to remove the stock recircs etc.?? Thanks for any advice on this :)

Saw you on the A5 heading in towards london near the big Matalan and the bus garage. It was around 1 ish. G reg with 99 spec rear lights. Was in the van again so you wouldn't have seen me. Looked very nice mate. Darrell

when driving through the rain on monday i had a few drips on my passenger side matt, in the far left corner. It is not the heater matrix as the drips were pure rain water and the problem hasnt happened before or since. Only when driving through heavy rain.

Looking round at insurance companies, out of the comparision sites, and the ones listed on here from people I got three main quotes two from different brokers Carole Nash £828 with all the extra but a £500 excess (using norwich union)unable to lower the excess. Accademic £915.60 with the extra and only £250 excess (also using norwich union). Adrian Flux 891.08 with a £250 excess, but will not protect my 4 years no claims (Using Highway) Strange how they wouldn't let me lower the excess on the first quote , when they will on the second one! (as always never the same quote twice) How do these quotes compare to others? :confused: :confused:

Hi guy's.. Does anyone have any information on this chip please.. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=101430 Thanks!!
