still searching for an ignition barrel does anyone know whether you can use one from another nissan like the qx automatic?

when the car starts and ticks over the needle on the standard turbo gauge is just below the first line does this show that the engine isnt in good condition as my last z was bearly above the -7??

Does anyone else have the problem that the fuel pump on the forecourt keeps tripping out no matter what angle it's at or how gently you squeeze the trigger. It's just taken me about twenty minutes to fill it up and my last Z was the same. Is this normal??.

heavy steering, all the time,any ideas please

I followed a red 300zx with a body kit and gold rims up Ipswich Road and onto Whitehall Ind Estate on tues nd. Was it you?

How much does it cost (roughly) to have one Front seat re-trimmed in black leather? The steering wheel retrimmed? and the doorcards,arm rest etc trimmed in either alcantara or leather? Thanks in advance

I'm thinking about changing from TT to NA (changing cars, that is, not a conversion :D ). Most of my driving is daily commute in traffic jams so the TTs are a bit wasted. Main reason is greater practicality as a daily driver (I do about 12,000m a year). Against that is the big grin factor on the rare occasions when I do get a chance to use the loud pedal :hyper: . Not interested in mods - just good clean as-stock-as-possible. Had some good thoughts at the other place, wondered what you guys thought?

heard a loud BANG tonight, ironicaly about 2 minutes after passing Carl. drives fine and wasnt teh engine. untill about 5 minutes later and 1st gear sounds like its got a cat stuck in there. and while i am reversing I can feel like what can on;y be described as the ABS working through the brake pedal. will investigate 1st thing tomro

Nice red zed with 99 spec rear lights and big rims. Was thinking DiddyP?

This morning my oil pressure gauge was acting weird. Everytime I was turning right the pressure increase to 120 psi, when I was turning left it was decreasing to 30 psi. In straight line it was varing from 50-100 psi Usually it indicated between 20-70 psi. Should I be worried??? Anyone have experience someting similar???
