Hi guys, Just got a Z but the Hicas light is on. I've tried to get into the self diagnosis routine by doing the steering wheel and brake peddle then drive a bit to get the ecu to flash up the error codes thing but nothing is happening, I think it may be the fluid levels as when the car is parked level and started the warning light comes on straight away but when the car is on an incline and started the light goes off until you touch the steering wheel.However the fluid level looks ok, do these things get airlocked? can they be bled ? also the steering pump does while noticeably. The car has been substantially lowered could this be causing problems ? it's a late 91 J …

hi all my car is running way too rich all you can smell is petrol 247, ive put on a new temp sensor and plug, cleaned MAF sensor and getting no error codes, the car is peforming very poorly due to over fueling, is there a mix setting on these so i can adjust the mixture? regards andy

THIS IS MY Z VIDEO THE CAR ONLY SMOKE WHIT WARM UP ENGINE...CHANGE THE PCV VALVES BUT NOT SOLVED PROBLEM ANY IDEAS?? THANKS GUYS

AS above, I need to know exactly what off set you guys are running with 19" wheels, and if they rub etc..My son bought me a set with 20 offset on the fronts. 19x8.5 20 offset Will they fit? I ask because without tyres they look a bit close, and if I fit tyres I cant exchange them... Thanks.

Today Greg came to my house near Portsmouth from Weston Super Mare and did a plenum bypass with plenum in situ; he also replaced the small ba....d to get at hose at the back of the engine with, and yes,you guessed it right, engine in situ!!!!!This ditty is not to thank Greg,because I have already done so in person but to promote his ability and to recommend him to you all in case any of you want the same job doing.Greg says he will travel provided the distance is not too great and his price for this service--------Well speak to HIM.....IS VERY REASONABLE :bow: :bow: :bow:

Hi , Just realised that the time clock is not working on my new 300zx anybody know where i can buy one, Look on ebay none there HELP Thanks. PS , How do you put Avitars on here ? (Probably easy i am just so crap at computers :-) ) CHEERS DARREN

Thinking of fitting one to stop all the crap getting pumped back into the plenum , questions are ; Which is the best place to plumb it to ? Are there any issue,s with fitting one ( running wise ) ? Or can it be vented to atmosphere instead of using a catch can ? Thanx

i saw a black zx on the M23 at 3.10pm. it had a big spoiler and i think it had alloys. :dance:

Seeing as there's a big bit of metal piping running from the back of the engine connecting one side of the PCV to another, couldnt I just remove this piece of crap and just shove one long hose in it's place!? Apart from the fact that the hoses itself reduces in bore size then increases back up in bore size I dont see any reason why I cant!? Less stinking connections to go wrong! Oh, I managed to get the plenum off too! :dance:

come on when you turn the screen demister on . its bloody annoying as it reduces power. when you switch it back onto normal heater the screen starts to mist up again.!!! is there a way of stopping the demister from using the aircon pump (eg by pressing a curtain sequence of buttons ect on the pod) i know you can diagnose it from there i was wondering if you can alter settings too. anybody else find this annoying and how did you solve it removing the aircon is NOT an option i will consider. thanks :)

where i can get hold of a 99 spec rear spoiler? also what is needed to be done to go from the standard foam spoiler to the 99 spec? cheerz guys n gals alex

I'm going to buy 2 wide band LC1 but was wondering as they come with the o2 sensor do i just take mine out and install the one coming with instead?? And then how to connect it to the ECU? thank you :)

Hi there, do any of you know what the exclamation light means on the dash? I noticed it was on when driving, then it went off again a few seconds later. If someone knows the answer to this, it would be much appreciated

..... Z Brochure.... But this time it's the 1999 JSpec one :D :dance: :dance: :dance: These pics are from a differant Ebay auction, but it's the same brochure as the one I've just won. I wont be able to scan this one, as it's 12" x 12", which is too big for my scanner.

saw a very nice black zed with a quite big spoiler on parked up near the strand, u local?

Right, on way home from work yesterday, travelled about as mile the car just suddenly started dying, so I pulled over and it was idling wery lumpy and irratically bouncing between 800 - 1200 rpm, so after about 1/2 hour of wiggling connector blocks around to no avail I tried to limp home, on the way home if I tried to pass 2k revs it would judder and stall, so had to keep well below 2k. This morning I was out with the wd40 and a small terminal flathead screwdriver, and cleaned up the connectors on the PTU, TPS, and the E.C.U. Water Temperature Sensor connector, but still no difference. So I started to look at the maf, I disconnected it with the engine idling and…

I recently bought a new exhaust from Zee, it does not have the hooks or anything on it to conect it to the car, im assuming that if i just hang it from the cack it will rattle quite a bit, please tell me if im wrong lol. What shall i do with this???

my Zed :dance: :dance: :dance: Just undertook 4 cars in a row, after sweezing passed a fully loaded skip lorry saw the open lane and down went the foot boy did he pick up speed I left everyone standing. Give me more power, bring it on LOL :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

hey cam someone tell me what the squeal im getting on cold start up could be pointing to only really happens when its raining/damp/moist, ive had the cambelt and auxillry belts changed about 800 miles ago, is it just the fan belt oe water pump .cheers

I've been big fan of them for ages. Fantastic rims, keep your cast £300 junk from Halfords, forged 3 peice rims is what it's all about...although I already have a set of forged 3-peice, I would just go that step further and get HRE if I could. Always liked them and these are my favourite design for them. Not sure I'd splash out the cash on them for a 300ZX though, maybe one day if I get a Lamborghini Gallardo (lottery winnings!)....or maybe an NSX in a few years. ;) These are the HRE 441R and are my favourite made by this manufacterer....which in turn are my favourite rim in the entire cosmos! :bow:

I need a large fuel pump (intank) pumping 350 liters/hour or 5,5 liters/minute. This is what is needed on 850 cc injectors. Anyone experts out there who might know?
