there is a hissing or buzzing noise coming from the back of my engine, next to the battery, sounds like a wind up toy car, it gets faster when revving the engine, you can only hear it when ya have ya head next to the back of the engine, any ideas what it is also if i move the conection on the tps, it alters the engine note slightly, could it be a loose wire somewhere????

Anyone had this prob out there. :headvswal Car was lying for two weeks and when i went to start it it the battery was dead so i put charged battery in and tried to start and it back fired a few times then started. I drove it around the block and after turning it off could not start again as if it was flooding.Went to it the next day and after turning the engine over for ages with foot on the peddal it eventually started. When i turned it off it wont start again any ideas :confused:

Hi guys and girls I have a an N/A with custom headers . . . cat-less down pipes . . .. . and a recently fitted cat back exhaust with x-pipes from the group buy that ran a few weeks back now . . . so basically I have a straight-thru zorst and the sound it produces any f1 team would be proud of So for my sanity I need to tone it down . . . . as under any accelleration or sittin at 70 on the motorway it is torture and at certain revs sounds very metalic even though its done 500+ miles since being fitted I have made local enquiries with custom zorst maker who wants £300 to cut me x-pipes and add some inline boxes or fit a 3"x15" muffler into the section before…

i've just check the web site of time attack in UK and i'm surprise there is no 300zx at all... Why nobody participate to this event :confused: One of our trader could have one 300zx to race with it, why not :confused:

I hadn't fired up my beast of a zed for 5 months. Stuck a new battery in & Started it.. let it run rough for a little while and then took it our for a spin to see it that would help. what sort of problems would one think this chain of events could cause? or any, for that matter.

It is a bit "lairy" mind...;) http://www.guampdn.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070612/LIFESTYLE/706120303/1024/CUSTOMERSERVICE02

Don't know if this will help anyone with this all to common problem, but my idle was all over the place. Then found out I had problem with an alternator connector which had briken, it went altogether and the car stopped with a flat battery. Got the connecter replaced, battery charged etc, and never had any idle speed problems since!! Don't know if it was anything to do with this, but do know that it hasn't happened since other problem fixed. Maybe electrical supply problems like this can cause it?

Has anyone bought or fitted this bonnet? What Quality is the fibreglass? The body shop said that it could be more work fitting fibreglass bonnets than cutting vents into the stock hood purely down to ripples in the fbreglass and getting them to fit perfectly.

Timing: 16:00pm Saturday 14th July in the marquee An agenda will be posted soon Members questions: If any member has a specific question they would like to raise at the AGM, can they please PM myself ASAP.

Ok so.. After all the posts and help from you guys turns out all the symptoms were a knackered water pump. It had a small water leek etc which i thought was the matrix and then there was a suspected oil leak or burst pipe. Cars under warrenty so thankfully it all turns out its a minor (to fix) problem. Car should be back tomorrow or monday, whoohoo!!

Ive searched untill my fingers hurt and I cant find a close up picture of a ZED without the front bumper, does anyone have one please? I wanted to know what the tiny rad in front of the larger rad was for (right underneath the air filter) and also wanted to see the pulleys and which one is for what. Ive looked at the engine by numbers but it doesnt go down that far :( Cheers

Redbridge flyover leaving Southampton, K***BOM at about 4.30pm today. Any takers, tried to get alongside to be nosey but didn't manage it and I wasn't in my Z.

Ok its started! Guess who went out to buy a 'nice sensible reliable' daily drive at the weekend and came back with a 300zxTT?!! :mac1: I'll post a thread with some pics once everything is sorted and I've got a few mins spare. I bought the TT from PaulTT who is off to Miami. I'm pretty chuffed to have one again but wary of the can of worms that Zeds can be!! Its bone stock and has full nissan service history right down to the dealers letter before it was sold, and the original brochure and a bunch of Zclub mags! All the tools, targa bits, etc are all there, aircon works well, interior is immaculate apart from the drivers side of seat in the usual place, it came with…
