ive had a z center ferrari rear panel on my car for years now and all of a sudden after a dose of night nurse i woke up and thought i actually dont like them so ive decide to go back to original if not 99 spec on the rear anyhoo what do you all think to the style of the ass end 99 or aftermarket???

how often do engine sensors such as the following list pack in or become problematic. knock sensor power transistor unit throttle positions sensor crank angle sensor and MAF's it seems they go for silly money on ebay for what are effectively 17 year old cars. with no gurantee's on any of these such parts I wonder how robust they are or are people just greedy? it's a bit of a moan but having restored a number of old cars the prices are a bit out of hand I feel for this model.

my zed has been stood now for about a year moving house knackerd exhaust mot ran out and never got round to fixing her anyway started her up and there is a loud knock from the top end(at least i think its top end drivers side bank but if ya get underneath it does sound a bit like bottom end)the knock can clearly be heard through the exhaust aswell (just on one side)anyway looks like im gonna have to pull engine and strip her down bah just started pricing parts up (can ya belive how much nissan want for a head set wont be getting it from them) but my question is what do you guys think would be causing the top end knock dont think it could be oil starvation cos i left her t…

Have done a search and found out what to do. The only problem is what I do it too. Which of these pipes are the right ones? Are these correct? Darrell

Saw you in the distance turning off a roundabout, must have been about 2pm I guess.

As above. Darrell

Black 300 in petrol station on Cowbridge Road at 4.50 on Monday.

hi all. i've been head scratching for ages now over what to do with my auto. we swapped a TT engine, 'box, etc into an N/A car and cant get it to run. at first when we tried it we got it to fire on easy start but now it just wont have it. somethings not right with the electrics. we had to wire the starter direct from the ignition for it to work. no idea what it could be anymore (swapped CAS, played with all the earths and plugs, etc) so is there anyone in this neck of the woods that could have a look? if not it'll be for sale to the first reasonable offer. its been sitting a few months since the conversion so now i just want it to work so i can sell it or i'll sell …

Running a tt300 with large intercooler, large induction pipes, full stainless steel exsaust system light weight pulley. thinking of trying to get more from the car but wonder what to do next? what sort of chip mod is best and what electronic boost to go for? any other ideas are welcome as long as it will not destroy my pride and joy

can i fit a rad from a auto tt to my manual tt :smash:

does the gear shift linkage have to be taken off in order to tilt the gear box when taking the engine out please, sorry if this seems a silly question! Car is an auto TT

Hi, Ive just bought a standard 300zx twin turbo, The turbos dont seem to give much boost and at first i thought it was because of blowing exhausts so I put performance full system on and induction kit but still not much boost, im after a a good punch up the back side that pulls your head back in to the seat, ive been told that the standard turbos could easily stand 1.2 bar of boost, is this true? how can I you get the turbos to kick in sooner?

hi everyone, I need to get my wheels checked and aligned as the back end seems to skip a bit after I replaced the hicas arms (so it will need doing anyhow) anyone know of anyone who can do a good job in the rotherham / sheffield area and roughly how much will it cost? Thanks everyone

Just to let you all know spoke to Matt Bannister tonight, who visited Mike in hospital this afernoon and he told me he has had his operation and is felling good and is pleased with his new body kit ( not sure if it was sponcered by Stillen though)

to mickey at zed works. Finished my gear box and the car drives like new. Zed works comes highly recomended from me.

just out of intrest what do people compare say a 91 manual tt zx to a 94 r33 gtst like power driveability and size of the car seating room :rolleyes:

right chappies and chappieesses, just got the z back from a full service with the following observations which i need your advice on please. the front tension bushes are deteriorating ............... no probs looks a simple job and the o/s/r hicas joint is showing signs of wear now i think what my tech is reffering to is the bolt on joint(link arm) that attaches to the stub axle as i call it. is this a common problem as the track rod ends have been replaced at some time and seem o.k. as i`m a bit of a virgin on these babies whats your thoughts am i best off ripping out the hicas and putting an eliminator bar or is it a replacable part as i looked on the z centre…

My brakes and suspension seemed fine until i chipped and raised the boost on my 300tt today On my first outing i was shocked to find how crap the brakes and suspension felt I planned at leaving the brakes and suspension standard but now i need more money to make it feel safe again The moral of the story is if you have more power be prepared to spend on the brakes and suspension as well Do skyline brakes fit straight on ?

NEW SERIES OF TOP GEAR - 8PM, SUNDAY 7th OCTOBER. :dance: :dance: :dance:

I'm looking to buy a new clutch for a z32 tt. the engine is standard at moment but boost will be raised to about 14 psi max so will produce a little more than standard horsepower. I have spooted these on ebay and wonder if anyone on the forum has had any experience of them etc. cheers Paul http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Clutch-Masters-89-96-Nissan-300ZX-TT-Clutchmasters_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33730QQihZ011QQitemZ320156255488QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Southbend-300ZX-DXD-Clutch-Rally-Series-TT-433-TQ-Cap_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33730QQihZ009QQitemZ190126220016QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSA…

Results were Front 140 150 150 132 150 150 Rear Are these ok?? Engine was cold, plugs out, engine has been stood for a few months I think.

in the process of taking engine out of TT auto at present, I have read the online manual and also searched all threads on the subject,and there seems to be a difference of opinion, will the engine come out simply by splitting the gearbox and leaving box in place or does the gearbox have to be dropped, also does the torque converter have to come off before pulling engine or can it be left bolted to the flywheel, many thanks in advance

Saw it on sunday on the A60 going towards mansfield. It looked reddish, looked like it had a wide arch bodykit, spoiler. I was in the purple 300 heading the other way, flashing my lights as i went past.

Picked up my new car from him on the weekend and although the engine needs a bit of TLC i am well happy. Thanks :duffer:
