I'm living in Plymouth for a month attending an electricians course in Exeter....... I drove down from London today car running fine no problem at all,stopped at Exeter to put £15 worth of V-max in and about 15 minutes later i feel the car isn't running as it should....a few minutes later it starts coughing as though the fuel isn't getting through, pull over and check everything and the idling is so bad it almost stalls.....everything looks ok check TPS, plugs, Temp sensor, plug and PTU but all looks well.....left the car for an hour start it up and seems to idle ok, my first thought is the fuel and second is the PTU but it's a series 2 so surely this would be ok????…

hi right i have found a split in the large pipe that goes to the plenum on the drivers side it goes from the end of the pipe and stops somewhere under the jubilee clip now it does extend past the connection point however in your opinion could this still cause a boost leak????

Yesterday in green street (east london). A black one, fully stroseked and wide arched. Think it had cream interior... Anyone here????

Can anyone tell me what the filter under drivers wing is for for a Nissan 300zx? Thankyou kind regards snookerdave

Ok guys, here we go again! Erm, i was at the local market this afternoon and had a emissions test carried out. Erm.........didnt come back very good! Because of the overfuelling, the guy carrying out the test reckons it's a straight MOT failure! :cry: SO.......my question is: Does anyone know of how this is fixed? Is it just a matter of taking to a garage and getting them to tweek the ECU to reduce the fuelling levels?????? Cheers for any help!

Fitted some ss silencers from jetex yesterday, took me all afternoon to cut the pipes, weld in boxes and reuse original tailpipes. Sounds alot better now the sharp bark has been muffled though, that thing was loud! Anyone struggling looking for SWB zorsts, try jetex they supply any size boxes you want.

unfortnutley my car will not be finnished by the 3rd as im waiting for a vim check, is there anyone who is going to silverstone with room for a little un??

Just seen one on Steelite carpark in Middleport, Stoke-on-Trent. It was a blue import with aftermarket front bumper, it was there from about 12.00pm, and was still there at 2.00pm, you left your lights on as well, looks like you were at the BBC Antiques Roadshow who were there at the time.

Hello, Ive recently had my car serviced - due to an idling problem, which the garage have put down to the Air Flow Meter not working. They have since informed me that a new one will take 6 weeks to arrive on back order from Japan and I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas or methods of obtaining one? Or whether or not second hand ones are worth investing in? It is a 1990 non turbo SWB manual. Any assitence would be greatly appreciated,

Had a 5 minute drive in my Zed and oh my goodness it wasn't pleasant it's missing firing on one cylinder Waiting for it to stop raining so I can go out there and sort it out. One of the blasted coil packs is loose. It was fine only 2 hours earlier. HUFFF no, not happy SAD

Yesterday my cousin got married and I ended up taking the Z. Now my Great Auntie Margaret who we all call super-gran still lives on her own, goes hiking up on the mendips every day etc. She's just been hand-gliding for her 85th and wants to go bungee jumping as well. Anyway, she's a right hoot and has always wanted to go out in the Z. So after the wedding ceremony, it was decided that she hop in for the drive up over the mendips to Bath and on to the reception. Knowing what she was like I thought it would be funny to take the car up to full boost in 1st 2nd and 3rd and she absolutely loved it! Seeing an 85 year old being taken off on a reasonably hard launch ask…

Hi all , new to here as ive just gone and treated myself to a 300zx (jap import) after moving up in the world from my old beloved 200sx (s13) after it finally blew up :(. When i bought it i found that the front brakes were really making a high pitch noise when braking normally to stop around town which was turning peoples heads for the wrong reason :(. I was told it had hardened pads on it by the bloke i bought it from, so a friend of mine advised me to go back to standard pads cos they are softer and will stop noise. I had the softer pads put on last monday and at first they were fine- no more squealing, but since then they have got progessively worse and are back t…

Hi All, I'm new to this site,but hope to be a full member very soon. I'm going to look at a 300zx this afternoon and was wondering if there is anything i should look/listen out for ? The car is an automatic pretty standard mech wise, is the gearbox reliable ? Cheers T.

fitted mine a month ago, but the seem a little slack, what i mean is the more you wind the out you get play around the thread and the shaft, that doesnt seem right to me??? the only way to stop it was for me to have the locking collars bar bloody tight, still not convinced

This might sound like a really daft question, but since im new to this, you'll need to excuse me! I started up the zed this morning and as i was driving to work, the HICAS alert appeared. Can anyone let me into what it is? I get a bit worried about alerts that appear and i dinnae ken what they are!

as above i fitted my rear kybs yesterday, i thought it was a right dog of a job, having to take out almost all the boot trim just to get to two little nuts what a joke, then trying to get them back in, because of the spring compressors it was like the bloody kripton factor to manoever them about to refit them, why oh why isnt there a door in the trim to get at the top nuts??? needless to say there is on mine now the old jigsaw and abit of steel mesh, bloody japanese.

Long story..... ;) I was driving home along the High Street here in town this evening, and I saw a cop car across the entrance to a one way road. Now he was pointing out of this one way road, in the wrong direction, which was a bit naughty to start with, and I'm sure he would of booked anyone else doing it ;) Anyway, I thought I'd do the polite thing and let him out, so i flashed to him, but instead of pulling out, he motioned, with his hand, for me to continue past him anyway (ungrateful git!!) so I did, and as soon as i passed him he pulled out behind me, followed me past a car parked on the path ( a Ferrari 360) and then put his blue lights on!! He wanted me to pu…
