I started car up after work and it wasn't running right, put it down to crap in the fuel as was fairly low and drove to petrol station. Opened the lid there to find the cap missing... Now the car ran perfectly in the morning so I think I might have leaned on the lever when opening the boot. I'm thinking during the day some idiot with 3 brain cells saw the lid open and thought it would be funny to take the cap.... It was in a multi story parked next to the door so in clear view of everyone who walked onto that floor. Tried an mx5 cap which fits but doesn't seem to seal so wondering if anyone has a spare to sell?

Just spotted this car on Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1998-Nissan-300-3-0-ZX-Targa-3dr-/231655733171?hash=item35efc1f7b3:g:UboAAOSwgQ9V0Jom supposedly a 1998 NA auto for £4000. I know they are now beginning to creep up in price but I also noticed that the seatbelts are on the doors which means pre 1991. Looks clean though and low mileage if it can be preoven.

Hi , do all twin turbo models have a turbo boost gauge in the dash layout as standard? Looking at a 1998 TT model and it doesn't appear? Newbie question btw :-)NB Can I get a 1998 TT manual on line,an owner's more than tech manual? Cheers

The latest episode from the Ring Banana is out… and talk about shocking (Pun intended). We all know that tyres has one of the biggest influence on the performance of a car, as they are the only thing that touches the ground. The Ring Banana set the base lap time of 9:21 around the Nurburg Ring, then knock 22 seconds off to 8:59 by changing out the 10 years old tyres to a set of semi-slick tyres. The goal of getting a sub 9 minutes lap around the Nurburg Ring with the 90 hp Mazda Miata / MX-5 was shattered on the first try. In an interests to find out how much difference will just the MeisterR coilovers make, they install the coilovers, do the alignment, and …

Is it just me or is the 14psi boost upgrade, not that much different? I've always run 9psi, today was my first run at 14psi. I have to say whilst it was noticeably faster it wasn't the night and day difference some report, I don't think I've gained 80hp or anything, my butt dyno says it running about 330-340 if that...

Anyone know who this is http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-300Zx-Twinturbo-Complete-Engine-Fresh-Rebuild-/301766712751?hash=item4642b29daf:g:mQwAAOSwo0JWHGZL I am not a happy bunny today after seeing this. Jeff

So following on from the earlier thread about the master cylinder we now will deal with the front caliper`s which are by far the most troublesome part of the brake system. Lost count of the front caliper`s I dealt with in my time that were either seized partially or fully !! of the four pistons in each caliper it is very common for just one or two to be stuck fast and this is why the brakes seem to work but just not great, and given that many owners have already been told the brakes are rubbish on zeds it gets accepted. So the biggest problem with stuck pistons is getting them out especially in DIY situation, however there is a way you can do it, slowly but …

Hi all, Does the TT pump raise the fuel pressure more than 6Bar at any time? Running 14- 15PSI of boost on a pretty much stock engine. Thanks Dan

Well after many years of trying to get one, I finally laid my hands on a genuine vintage Nissan dealership sign. To say I'm chuffed to bits is an understatement! The 20+ year old sign measures 120cm by 85cm and will take pride of place on the garage wall above the car. It will look amazing! Here is a somewhat larger one of the same design used at the US launch in Chicago back in 1989. That one was backlight and I will do the same.

Ok a little light reading for Thursday, we all know prevention is the best way forward with service items and but many times those little warnings are too subtle or just missed as little annoyances or the character of the car and the 300zx brakes is a case in point. So two points, the master cyliner and the front calipers these are the two area`s where most problems occur in the breaking system and are often overlooked as the cause at the time, of course ensuring no air is in teh system is a biggy too. So we will deal with the master cyliner in this thread and the calipers in the next one, the bmc is so easy to service ( kit part number shown in picture for Tw…

I need to upgrade my battered tweed interior to leather, and wondering how easy is it to DIY with purchasing the kits, there are several companies in the US / Canada supplying kits, not neccassary any cheaper than getting it done by upholsterer here, but quality is not necessarily assured. If I do go done a DIY route, how easy / difficult is it to remove the door panels, dash board bits etc. Also removing the tweed from the seats, panels and gluing leather bits etc. Any tips and experiences good or bad will be appreciated.
