Hi guys, I need some replacement parts for my Z, namely rear shocks, Hicas track rods, and a new fuel tank. The Z Centre appear to sell the rods and shocks cheaper than the Nissan dealer (not such a surprise), but does anyone know where I can get a fuel tank + straps from? Nissan quoted around £600 for one which I thought was outragous! Cheers all

Northbound on Sunday 09/09 - was it you?

yes. Once again i am having problems with this crap engine i bought from getgreedy. The engine seems to have blown a hole in one of the core plugs (says a garage). All i know is that i poor water in one end and iv literally comes straight out the back of the engine. Its up past the turbo somewhere that i couldn't see. Im sick

Come on who is going then and are any of you camping?

... In conzult, sometimes my auto gearbox doesnt pick up :S Does anyone know of any particular reason why it might not? Just a bit strange, everything else is okay, (aircon, hicas, engine etc) and can i have a definitive answer from someone who knows exactly what an 02 sensor should do at; A: Tick over B: Cruising C: Hard Acceleration Thanks guys!

Is there anywhere we can leave some feedback on members? I am getting fed up with buying stuff thats not as described, and I know I am not the only one. And if there is not somewhere to leave it, lets make somewhere. PLEASE, post comments, lets see if we can rid this forum of sum bags....

Just noticed turbo gauge pressure on mine goes from -7 to +7, presume this is standard on the jap spec tts. It does goes 4/5 of the way accross so think its all working ok.

Hi, you may remember me, I bought a few bits from you including some 555cc injectors. I have been having no end of problems ever since I fitted the things. One dosnt work, period, and at least one has a poor pattern so is next to useless. I am looking at at least £100.00 to get them serviced. On top of that, you promised to send the new O rings, which you didnt. This is on top of you telling me, and every one else that it was a Fidanza flywheel, which I doubt it is. And yes I know we discussed this but so far the ECU is the only thing I bought which I dont have issues with, but then I have not been able to drive my car since fitting your stuff. Wh…

Had a new auto box in the Zed today, now I know the ECU has to re-learn but are these symptoms normal!? 1. Gear makes first change at 7,000 RPM (if at all, sometimes it doesnt change) 2. Can only change the gear manual by driving to 3000 RPM and pressing "Hold", this changes the gear (sometimes, other times the revs go up but no speed) 3. Occasionally when driving revs just go higher, no more speed. 4. Performance seems crap. 5. Not sure if 2nd gear is there!? When driving in "1" then going to "2", the revs stay where they are they dont go lower or higher. Any thoughts?

Hi I have a slight miss on tickover. Replaced ptu with a series 4. I'm sure it must be one of the contacts on one of the coil packs. I have just ran the conzult power balance test and i have no idea what i am supposed to be looking for!! On one pass cylinder 2 was red and on another pass cylinder 5 was red. Can anyone give me any idea what im looking for? Thanks

Hi folks I'm using the powertrain of the 300zx in my project and have aquired a new engine wiring harness for the job. I can see where most plugs go as they only fit in certain plugs etc but I would dearly like to view under the bonnet of a ttzx just for comparison/reference. My aim is to simply take pictures, no intrusive work. I wonder if any member lives near richmond North yorkshire or can recomend somewhere to go. or even a wiring loom diagram for the engine harness. either would be a great help. thanks to any that can offer advice. cheers Paul :)
