seen the same red one going towards St Helens the last two mornings

I have a small hole in a 3" hose just above the Thermostat so want to replace both 3" hoses and the 4 gaskets around that area, They are for a 1994 TT import if that makes any difference. Below are pictures of the 4 gaskets and two hoses. Does anyone have a picture of the parts page for this area? I did call in at the parts centre of Nissan, but they were usesless saying their parts catalogue did not cover imports but the one 10 miles away did. I said I was not bothered just give me the bits for a UK car, I would take the risk, but he would not look it up, said he needed full UK chassis number. Have left a message for dealer manager to complain....

I have a 94 TT Jap spec Auto MAIN PROBLEM! When pulling off from a dead stop, the revs drop to about 300 (Car hesitates while doing this) and then revs pick up and car pulls off. It only does this when warm!! When car is cold I have no problem. I have checked everything and my mechanic is dead stumped. Please help

Hi I have just taken the rear of my SWB apart with a view to re-designing the rear Bose speaker boxes and installing some new 6.5 inch speakers only to find that the passenger side box is cosiderably saller than the drivers side one. I can't see any reason why this would be so as there is no petrol pipe to clear as on the SWB it is situated in front of the rear wheels. I want a larger box, anyone got any ideas- american one perhaps? Cheers, Andy

Ebay Wont be using head gaskets, just want all the other ones. User has 0 feedback too :wack:

just a note to let you all know i wont be attending any meets from now on as i am moving to tolouse tomorrow. thanks to t-pot, buddah and johny boy for the few we had down swansea ps please dont be too upset

Saw u near th 50mph bit heading towards Stowmarket. I was in th Tranny van on th other side!

This is how the Nissan 300ZX manual should read on a rebuild..... :dance: :smash: :mac1:

:mad: Went onto a roundabout today about 35-40, just following a freelander then bang, hit a brick and my Tie rod snapped (have i got that right, bit thats attached from front hub to front cross member somewhere, its adjustable) well that sent me round in a circle then into the kirb, only obvious damage is as mentioned above, just wondered if this is adjustable as standard and will it just be the same as a uk spec cars part or is this an aftermarket jobby thats adjustable and any idea how much this will cost me, ill go and get it tomorrow if its available from a normal auto parts store. cheers ryan

Black Zed with black wheels :cool: L reg on Round Spinney (Toby) Roundabout @ 1:30ish this afternoon. The 2nd Zed i've met on this roundabout in a week! Where they come from all of sudden :confused: nowhere to be seen in the summer ;)

Its spose to be a 3.1ltr With: JE pistons Knife edge crank Carillo rods Here are some pics of the crank. Not really knife edge is it?!?! I've also measured the piston bore and its 87.4mm. Would that make it a 3.1ltr? I've had a look at the online manual but cant work out the standard piston size. Not sure on the rods. They are still in. Wasnt planning on taking them out.

Hello, Can anyone tell me how to remove the panel around the head unit? I have taken out four screws but its jammed in there near the digital clock I would give it a good tug but I dont want to break it!! lol!

It's about time we put the 300 on the map, so we're building something for the job. Just thought I'd ask what we have to beat at the moment, in the UK. I'm interested in documented quarter mile times, lap times, top speeds etc. It would be awesome to compete in TOTB at some point, but not till we're ready to really kick ass. So, what ya got? :) Dave.

dirtysanchez... :hyper: have a great day! :D

Drove over to Wales last Saturday, about a 300 mile round trip. Got 120 miles away from home on the M4 when the car started pulling left, getting worse over about a mile. Uh-oh, thought I. Then the vibration starts, pull over and sure enough the front nearside is totally flat, with the pressure marks from the rim down the motorway (see first pic). I unload my bike to get at the spare, jack and wheel brace... um, what wheel brace?! Oh fook I never put it back! :headvswal Quick call to the RAC, he'll be there in 30 mins. 15 mins later, they ring me back- he'll be there in 45 mins! He actually turned up on the hour, but no thanks to the RAC controllers- they s…

I've bought some component speakers to replace my stock (?) kenwood ones. Anyway since I now have tweeters I'm guessing I need some extra wire to connect those to the crossovers. What I'm wondering though is... Is car speaker wire different to home speaker wire? i.e. the type you might buy to extend the distance that your speakers can be placed away from your stereo. Also do I really need to replace the existing wire? Thanks in advance. Al

Folks, I have a knock sound when going over bumps - particularly speed ramps. It doesn't do it every time, and if I go over a speed ramp with my wheels at an angle (ie I turn at the last moment) then it usually won't do it. It sounds fairly solid and like it's coming from the front drivers side suspension. Any ideas? I haven't had the car long so don't really know what I'm looking for. TIA, Tony

Folks, My drivers seat won't go all the way back! :rant: There must be some sort of stopper because the motor winds the seat backwards and forwards just fine, but I reckon it could (should) go back another two or three inches at least. How can I adjust it? Thanks, T

I want to get my car on the rollers to check fueling is OK and its not detting ect. Was going to take it to Thor but Northampton Motorsport is 5 minutes from my house. Has anyone taken there zed to them?
