Hi guys and girls i am about to fit a Border front mount intercooler ( its a huge beast ) and i know it will cause some air flow problems to the rad , my question is , has anybody ran ducting from the old intercooler intakes to feed extra fresh air to the Rad ?? or can the old stock intercoolers be used as auxilliary water radiators ??.......is there enough room to run pipes for this ......just a thought Steve

Guys Has anyone seen MarcZ32 around lately?? He paid a deposit on alot of goods from my old Zed and I havent heard from him in a month. I have PM'd him several times over the past 6 weeks, 3 of which he has read and not replied and another he hasnt read. The the PM he didn't read it advised that I needhim to come and collect the goods within the next 7 days or I am going to have to relist them for sale, as I desperately need my garage back! Anyone seen him? And what does everyone think is a reasonable length of time before we should relist items, even if a good deposit has been paid? M.

I have a warning light come on and I don't know what it is. I have lost power and the engine is hunting at idle. The light sits next to the handbrake light, and looks like a diagram of a piece of an exhaust with steam coming from it. Can anyone send me a scan of the warning lights page from a 1993 TT. gazwoz@aol.com..Cheers

:confused: I met a young fella last night at my works depot. He has a nice Black TT import with very nice Chrome rims and it has "VA" badges on it (Dont know what this "VA" means?) I asked him if he is a member on here and he told me he just bought the car today (thats yesterday now). Anyway I told him he should pay a visit. What amazes me when I think about it is the ammount of Z owners I have come across that havent heard of this site or have but just dont bother. There are still a great deal of 300ZX's around but you rarley see one ??? I think its just one of lifes little mysteries? ;)

ok ok, so it's NOT a Z. Bantum's thread encouraged me to go looking for a decent 200, so I managed to find a mint, totally standard SX s14a and I'm picking her up in the next few days. Needless to say I'm rather excited. Just thought I'd share my news! :hyper:

hello, does anyone no where to find the z emblems that go on the centre cap of wheels???? adam

"I am not sure what is involved by the methods zed world use but guess from the comments from everyone not so much and it is more of a bodge job?" I have spoke with Zed world today who noted my post and I would like to express my apologies. I have this week had my car fixed by zed world of Tamworth and I have to say they were very efficient and helpful. My car is now working as should be after Nissan had it for 2 months and made it worse! Please excuse my choice of words, Jeff at Zed world was very helpful in detailing the proceadures they use, but I always like to ask independent advise, Just to double check and make sure I make the correct decision, as th…

Standard front bumper is coming off my T/T, auto shortly to be replaced with something a little bit better looking ! :cool: Anything else I should attend to, or reach easier, while its off ? Ideal chance to strip and clean the headlights I suppose ! All suggestions welcome. Alan...........

God i cant wait :dance:

I'd just like to "big up" Luke at Zcenter for all his help today. I found out this morning that my radiator had died and so the hunt started for a new one. I needed one for the weekend as the car is going on the rollers so time was of the essence. Having tried a few places to get a second hand one (no joy) I started looking for a new one and headed for Zcenter. Gave Luke a call and explained my situation and he told me that he had sold out of Koyo rads and wasn't expecting any for a couple of weeks. He then had a thought and asked me to give him a ring back in a bit, he had managed to get one back from one of his local customers so that I could get my car back on the road…

Can anyone tell me how much the two bearings that the cam belt runs on costs and where the best place to get them? Think they are the same as the one on the cam belt tensioner.

Hi, can anyone tell me if i can use normal car body paint on my cam covers and throttle cover or if it can have laquer on it? Don't want to have to paint them twice. cheers

Roaming isles looking for unsuspecting newbiles to lure back to his little maintenance office. ;) Good to see ya again mate. Bit of a surprise to bump into you. Si

to house 6 x 9's ?? just wondering if somw carefull slicing would allow me to mount some instead of 6 x 4's and please leave the 6 x 9's are crap comments to yourselves cheers

The car's been running very roughly and idles been up and down when it's cold then seems to clear up once its warmed up and been run round. There's also a slight whining from the left hand side of the car (where i found this) Was fishing round the engine bay for possible causes and found this: First question, would the leak on this cause a poor/variable idle? Second question, where the heck can i get a replacement made up?

I have just found a split PCV pipe on my, oh joy the summer weather is here, lets get the roof off machine! I was wondering if this situation could cause the car to smoke on idle? (in the same way a defective PCV valve would) cheers me old mukkas, Joel :)

Never had this done properly before Ive been qouted £225 for all windows of the Zed excluding the windscreen. Any ideas if this is a good price? Aprently its 3 ply metalised tint and not some dodgy dyed films ?

I am just about to book an advanced driver instruction course and want to clear something up. There will be a lesson in power sliding - oversteer. Is this the same technique as drifting, because I was under the impression that drifting was really bad for the auto gearbox and don't want to fook my car for the sake of learning a few skills! Any advice on power sliding autos will be greatly appreciated, and if anyone has had bad experiences with it, let me know.

Ok straight to it, if you stand in front of the zed with the bonnet open. in the top metal water pipe that goes into the engine in the centre there are 2 senders in the top of this pipe. The smaller black one what is it for? it appears to have a spade connection coming off the top and this is broken have managed to wedge it in place but it is in danger of snapping all the way through. Has anyone got one of these they could get to me as soon as possible (in post for tomorrow or if local can collect.) or is it a part i can get from a local car spares place and if so what is it and what is the thread.. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN dont want anything wrong with …

no its not next door's cat! :rolleyes: only happens on occasion, and when the weathers especially cold. after about a minute of driving, i get a constant whirring/whining noise from under the car, difficult to pinpoint from where exactly, at first it sounds like the rear wheels, but im sure its a little closer in. only happens when in gear and under accelleration. after about 30 seconds, the noise will go away. there isnt anything else noticable, like juddering etc., just the noise. any suggestions?

I've recently had a complete health check on my 95 Zed TT auto. It came back with a clear bill of health, apart from 1 tiny detail. I was informed that when cold there is high pitch sound coming from the engine bay. The guy who did the health check advised that this isn't anything to worry about as more robust pistons where put into the engines for this year. He seemed to remember that this was normal on the VG30DETT engine for my model. Can this be verified, else I'm likely to need a rebuild, and after just having bought the car don't really want to spend another 2K before I actually start enjoying it. The person who did the health check is a nissan master buil…

hi guys just bought a 92 300zx but the rear wheel bearings gone i dont suppose u know where i could get 1 from and how much its going to cost cheers tom
