everytime i start my car up from cold the fan belt squeels for about 2 or 3 minutes, it only does this when there is no load on the clutch, i.e in neutral or in gear, if i slowly bring up the clutch with my other foot on the brake so the car is almost stalling, the squeel goes, but as soon i go to pull away normal the squeel comes back... what belt is this likely to be? does it need tightening or replaceing? how do i tighten it? cheers guys

Used to love james 300 car and it has crossed my mind to maybe try something similiar on the convertible. If someone could do me the honour of changing the colour of the bonnet/headlamp panel/A post and mirrors to black. Also could you do a set colouring the rear boot lid black and some without, I would be grateful :) [/img] [/img] [/img]

Yippee! Christ, i don't know who's sock i've sucked up above but Zena is alive! :nana2: :nana2: :nana2: :hyper: :hyper: Did a compression test and all cylinders were spot on so though i'd eliminate each ignition fault one by one. Eventually decided to hunt down the alarm system, checked the ecu and found jiggling it around made the alarm set off (which hadn't worked for 5 days) Got one bank working and after a few attempts eventually got both sides of the engine working. 1 cylinder was misfiring so checked the coil pack and found some numpty had inserted 2 rubber seals instead of 1 so took it out, reseated the connector and it now idles perfectly,…

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any good tips or products relating to touching up paintwork? I got a couple of little chips and a scratch mark or two that i wanted to try and remove myself & thought id see what was good. The cars black 1990 if that makes any difference.

Saw red Z in Sittingbourne heading towards business park. I was heading out of Sittingbourne, about 12:00.

Saw a white Z at Hewitts farm roundabout Friday 13th. I was already on it, looked like you were going down towards Sevenoaks. I went off towards M25

Right, 1st post I have a 90 300zx biturbo auto :( i kno, automatic Driving it the other day, all was fine. slowly i started to hear a clicky noise from the engine, so i thought o god, better head home. On way home, clicky noise got louder and a nasty grinding sound occurs when in D and accelerating. Nearly home i have hardly any power and lots of smoke from engine bay and under car. Open bonnet, no water or anything, so i pull out the engine dip stick and smoke/steam coming from the tube and the oil is a nasty black colour. I go to clean the dipstick and the oil is so hot i got burnt through lots of paper towels. 5 mins later i touch the oil cooler to see…

Saw a red 300zx going towards the black cat roundabout at the junction of the A421 and the A1. At about 15.50 today. I ws going the other way with Spongey just behind.

In Rainham Kent around 12.30 pm today not sure what the colour of your car was, as it was raining and I have a bronze tint on my rear window I turned off the main road hoping you would follow and have a chat but you drove straight on, if you live in the area and want to meet up (I live in Allhallows) get in touch.

Does anyone know the 300zx time round the nurburgring? Plus is there a list somewhere of all the production cars times? I can find a list for supercars but nothing else. Thanx

Hi, Anyone have any tips on repairing,painting or replacing the trim which runs along side of windscreen and over the roof,the black paint has started coming off leaving shiny metal which is underneath, saw a few with this when looking at cars to buy so i guess its quite common. Cheers :duffer:

Last week I went down to Somerset to pick up my SWB from Pauls at SWZ (Hope the Wedding went well) as Paul picked it up from they guy I'd bought it off in Torquay. I noticed that it had 4 brand new tyres on of unknown origins. You know what I'm like about tyres and how I bang on about them being the most important upgrade. Well it rained before i got home and it was like driving on ice. They didn't break away violently, but sort of slid slowly and majestic. It really was fun. I'm sure had they been on my TT that it would have been a very different story, but my new NA SWB was opening a whole new style of driving. So with all this rain I have perfected being able…

As title, driving towards Swansea (Ynysforgan roundabout) at about 2pm today.

transformeres guy owns a zed!!! His interests in Transformers extends beyond the toy-filled office. Labbé owns a Nissan 300 ZX on which a Transformers symbol has been painted, and he's even rubbed elbows with Transformers big-wigs. Sweeet

AndyP's site has a good page on Series differences. Here are a couple more really anoraky ones I noticed (at least on my Mar 90 S1 and my Dec 93 S3). 1) Boot carpet. Series 3 has rubber underlay/sound deadening as opposed to that fluffy compressed fabric-y stuff on Series 1. 2) Tweed doesn't fade as much as cloth. 3) The welding and preparation on the cross-member behind the dash (whatever it is) is a bit tacky on the Series 3 compared to the nicely finished and painted one on Series 1. First Series 1 and now Series 3 no paint and the welding's a bit crap What does it all mean? Apart from Mr Nissan trying to save a yen or two? Probabl…

Just wondered if any of you guys meet up near guildford at all ? And finaly taken some pics of my zed how do i put them up on here?
