Hi. Finally decided to take a look at why my air con has never worked properly ever since i owned the car. Went into the diagnostic program and found my 'vent duct sensor' was open circuit. Decided to take a look, and it isnt there. The sensor and the pipe it goes on is missing. Anyone breaking a Z that could let me purchase these bits? Thanks

Hi all, Can anyone give me the name of a supplier for the targa roof seals,mine are leaking at the top where the roof targas sit on top of the screen pillars. Cheers Chris.

hi this is my first post as have just become a very happy owner of a 300 but i have one little problem i hope someone can shed some light on its with the speedo it an itermitent fault some times it works most of the time it doesnt but even when its not working the trip clock still works and also when its not working i cant boot it hard as it hits like a rev limiter around 4500 rpm and if i back off slightly and ease back on the pedal it will pull straight through past 4500. My car is a 1990 turbo auto import i disconected the gizmo on the back of the dash that converts it to mph as i read that this can cause the problem but this made no difference the other thing that i …

Hi, not been around for a while for various reasons I won't go into and bore you with but hope everyone's keeping well. :) However I am a man on a mission. I know a lot of you keyboard Wizards are fantastic at finding things. So here's the deal. I will gladly straight swap my pride and joy for a roland Jupiter8 Vintage synth. Can't tell you how much I desire this piece of musical history. Possibly in someones attic somewhere but I'll never know. Has to be a minter. This might seem strange but possibly Viniboy or PK 1 will understand my fetish! I'm not joking either. These can sell for between 1-3k when they come on the market and my car is worth a lot m…

Anyone know of any folks in Scotland good with all round mechanics of the Zed? cheers, Paul

Does anyone know of any really good body shops in Surrey/South-East area, or at least fairly near. Got to get an estimate and get my car repaired on the insurance, rather have a zed specialist if poss coz want a top job.

Hi I was having problems with my rad and the guy at the garage swapped the cap with another Zed that was parked out the back. I'm still having problems, but I was wondering about the cap. Are the all the same or are they different? ie is the pressure capacity/ size etc the same. If not does anybody know somewhere near Kingston where I can get one tomorrow (Sat)? Thanks Spencer

About half seven this evening heading towards St A's going through Guardbridge. Didnt see much only it was white and sounded nice :cool:

insane zed, all the best mate, hope you have a good one

Hello all, I'm making my 300zx a track car only. So I try to win some weight every where. And this afternoon while removing the radiator of the A/C was thinking about using it for oil cooling as there is a fan. Can it be done as the radiator is bigger than the oil one? I've have Greddy warning gauge so could use that to monitor oil temperature and a switch to start the fan. Good or bad idea?

Put a datascan on my car today. Had a code 13 (last 30 starts) we cleared it and it hasnt come back yet. Will clean connecter and check that one again. More worrying was they two O2 sensors. They just sat at 35 at 2000rpm. They didnt sway as they should have? Will an Apexi A-SFC II affect how the O2 sensors work? There were two new ones put on on the 22/9/2004. Would they break that quickly? Apart from that everything else was alright!

HI!! Mates, A friend to seel this car, but I not to know how if to buy or not THANKS!

Are there any cheap ideas on getting horses for my z32? I just need some cheap ideas on get horsepower or torque.....

i was driving to oxford this morning for an important course when my drivers rear tyre decided it had had enough @ 70mph.... milliseconds after it blew the tyre made the decision that it wanted to overtake me and carry on along the motorway... whilst watching my tyre drive itself into the laybay up ahead i was nearly crying at the sound of my nice 18" wheel grinding on the hard stuff!!!! after f'in and blindin for a few secs i put my raincoat on and stepped out into the pissin rain to slap the space saver on... after my pit stop i continued my journey battling to keep the car in a straight line through the hardcore downfall. i was 15mins late gettin to oxford an…

Are there any cheap ideas on getting hoses for my z32?

hi everyone just changed my prop bearing which was pretty bad. thought all was well, then i noticed when i accelerate i can feel knocking though accelerator pedal and also if i depress clutch slightly while accelerating. noticed tick over very erratic. keeps moving between 2000rpm and 1000rpm. got my head under bonnet and rev'd her up from there. its sounds like a burbling noise. very strange i know! im not suffering any loss in performance that i can really tell. really weird! help!

I need info on whether it is a good idea to put dual electric-fans in my z32....And what kind of outcome comes from doing so....

well i fitted the vvt springs and o rings today and the car is still fecking rattling. a bit better but still there, feck it i,m not gonna bother any more, if she dies - she dies.....he he rocky 4. well i cant be arsed to try any thing else so sod it i,m gonna drive her and just enjoy...

Finally got my car back from Autoglass with a new rear window seal, they charged £75 for removal and refitting of the rear screen but most importantly they did the job without a single scratch to the tint or bodywork so I am happy with that.

When my car goes in for the rebuild, all the pipework for the HICAS will be removed, as I have a HICAS Elimantor bar fitted. Once this is done, will I need A NA PAS pot, or will I still need a TT PAS pot. Just planning ahead for chromed parts :) Many thanks Barry
