When starting the car first thing when the engine is cold getting white smoke,but as soon as I start driving the problem goes compleatley. Give it a thrashing and still seems o.k Turn off the engine when hot,restart and no smoke problem. Any advice please. CheerZ Chris.

Dont know whether you guy's have read my thread on fuel consumption but I took it for a long hard run last night while the weather was nice and when the engine got hot it lost an awful lot of power the car reved up to high for the power it was giving out. Pulled up at the pub as you do! let it cool down then the power was back???? has anyone had similar problems in the past.?

I was in a white zed. Saw 2 red zeds on the m25 near the M4 in traffic jams. One clockwise and one anti-clockwise.

I remember seeing a thread on here a while back with a tutorial on how to mod the dashlights - mine are the standard 'white' and I want to convert them to a dark red/crimson - but I don't seem to be able to find it! Can anyone help? I could also do with as much advice as poss as to where I can source the required tools/parts and any other info you think might be useful! In addition, is it possible to do the same to the switches on the doors? I hope that this will be my first of many mods!! Thanks all!

My driver's side window has stopped working!! It was quite tempremental before but over time has deteriorated and now has stopped working altogether! Which proves quite annoying when driving in and out of multi stories and round to the local drive-thru (I love my KFC!). Does anyone have a tutorial/tips for how to fix this? The passenger side could also do with looking at as it doesn't seem to close all the way properly and so seeps water when it rains... Thanks!

just wondering if i had brake pads that were low would it cause the anti lock light to come on? cheers Nick

Sincere apologies if this is already a sticky/pinned topic but I could not see it anywhere. Briefly about me. My first car was a 90 Nissan Sunny 1.4 so I love jap crap. I currently own a ford mondeo, ford granada V6, Toyota Avensis and my pride and joy is a Nissan Pulsar GTI-R. I am thinking of flogging the Mondy and Granada and have been offered what I think is a steal but due to the cheap price I want some advice. I have been offered a 90, red, Twin Turbo V6 MANUAL 300ZX. It has targa tops and is a UK spec so non import insurance which after the Pulsar will be a real bonus. He is selling cheap but I do know the guy reasonably well so trust him to a certain e…

Hi all Any one got any ideas? Turns over but doesnt fire up. AA came and took a look and said that there was no switching to the injectors or coils. Reckon its the ECU but mines got an AEM in it so theres no way of testing if its stuffed. Relays all working ok, immobiliser bypassed but still nothing. All I did was disconnect the battery and reconnect it??? F^&%^%CKING CAR!!! Not a happy bunny

jesus christ I have had these cars befor my last one was tuned up to F**k and i drove it like a mad man but the fuel consumtion was nothing like this one!! Theres some shops about a 3 minute walk away from me but coz i find ant excuse to go out in my zed as I havnt had it that long i went in it.

There was half a tank in it when i got it it never went off the driveway, just by starting it up several times and shifting the cars about it used the petrol with a week. What do I do, now i…

Have come across a problem. After changing the down pipes and middle section of exhaust and removing the AIV's the car wont boost correctly. Have had it on consult and it came up with a o2 sensor fault so have replaced that yet it still wont boost correctly. had the car running at 1.25bar and now it wont go past 0.9bar. When it gets there it just starts misfiring. Have changed the plugs, checked all the connectors, tried another PTU but wasnt that, doubnle checked the boost pipes against another zed and there correct. Anyone had this problem b4?? need some help please.

The guy who's bought the zed has just come up to look at the car. He's now quibbling about the fact the aircon doesn't work (it's missing the condenser and the belts which is why it was never included on the spec list and he assumed it was working) He's also worried the colour is going to be hard to match and he'll ring me monday after he's spoken to his bodywork man, it says in the listing that the colour is a one off so that's his fault. You don't buy a car off ebay to look at it then decide if you want it, you buy it because you're contracted to buy it. :slap: Arrrgghhhhh!!! Come monday i've been mr nice guy to him and it's then going to be t…
