hi guys i think i need a coolant temp sensor i have done an ecu check and it said code 13 i have tried to clean but with no joy also having prob with the sensor on left throttle body does anyone know where i can get these at reasonable prices or any suggestions how to fix ? thanx

just like to say people that i sorted my gearbox within 1hr of working on it, thanks to tech advise from zedworld!! they knew straight away that it was a blocked g/box filter/strainer. took it off and cleaned her now shes running great, because this was blocked the gearbox was losing pressure resulting in no drive, job cost me £0 :) thanks for all your advise again guys regards andy

Im aware that if you drive a manual you shouldnt do too many 0-60's or 1.4miles unless your clutch is up to the job. Im just wondering if the same can be said for a torque converter in an auto box? Friction shouldnt be the same issue? I know the fluid etc will heat up and you will be straining the diff tyres etc but can the auto box take more 0-60 runs?

hi guys just done a ecu diagnostic check which says its 13 engine coolant temp sensor could anyone tell me where this is? is it yellow plug near rad and also how to fix cheers

well i ordered a set of springs and o rings today. after a lengthy chat with one of the guys from ztech he advised me to drop a bit of dextron in the car let it tick over for a while and drop oil, he said this may sort out the small rattle i have when the car warms up at around 2500 to 3500 revs, he said it could b a sticky lifter, anyway i put the castrol 10 60 sport edge in. after which the rattlin is still there aarrrrggggghhh :headvswal. well i,m gonna fit the springs and o rings wen i get them and if that dosnt sort this out then a box of matches just might do the trickk....he he. also been told to check all idler gears and tensioner while doin the springs.…

As title...

I've searched the forum but can't seem to find what i'm looking for. Just want to know what the reading should be in BAR when ideling, driving and so on..

Is eh7 pearl glow yellow avalible from nissan in the uk as a touch up i heard it wasnt only in the us .My nissan dealer can get import parts so i dont see why they cant get touch up paint .If not does any one know of a simular colour avalible of the shelf the reason im asking is that ive had my rear arches rolled and flared and the inside lip has lost its paint now .i dont now if eh7 pearl glow was a uk colour or not its a 3 stage paint what ever that means thanks taff.

I have about 20mm play in the sterringwheel when you shake the wheel with the ingintion off .could this be the bottom uj joint knackered is this a common fault or do these cars have a rubber ring half way up.I know the 200sx has one and they change it for a metal ring to make steering more resonsive.If its the lower uj is it a nissan dealer job to buy and what sort of a job is it to fit thanks taff.

Hey, Bloody speedo isn't working again! It's not a converter problem, as I took that out last time the thing stopped working and then it was OK (until now) So.... it's either the auto box sensor or the dial itself. Now I reckon it's the auto box sensor because the steering is all heavy and the HICAS light comes on, plus the car keeps pulling back under boost now. Those things are dependent on the pulses from the auto box aren't they? Not the dial itself? Anyone got any ideas on that one? Cheers, Christian

Dude, I have some questions about your parts but can't reply on the topic and can't send you a PM :eek: Please send me an email to aurelien.bucher@wanadoo.fr and i will reply with my quetions :)

Hi Are your jap targa blinds still available? If so can I have them? Spencer

Sorry I've forgotten your name. Where did you get your rear brakes pads and disc's from please :)

Hello all I've order 60mm Greddy gauge with warning (not received yet). Then I order a triple pillar gauge pod for my 300zx. I bought one for 60mm gauge but I received it today and when i took the mesurement it's says 52mm inside diameter. So does 60mm have 52mm body and 60mm front face? (hope so :mad: )

how the hell do these fit in the Zed they are far too tall :headvswal http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-PACE-ALLOY-INTERCOOLERS-x2_W0QQitemZ130033084189QQihZ003QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Anyone know if there is an aftermarket washer bottle cap available??

Hi guys found your race video very cool, any word on your bumper coming over guys?

Lets start with a few facts then... Im having one built to my spec for my SWB 300ZX. Another couple of my Midlandz mate are joining in to add to the pool of expertise and share the costs. The cages we are building are "street, Strip, and trackday" spec, they wont have FIA or Rac MSA approval. The only approval they will have is mine and thats because I want to feel safer on the track/strip and I also want to stiffen up the shell to give better handling and suspension geometry.I am only having a rear hoop with rear and diagonal bracing. There will be no attempted "group buy" or anything similar. There was little response before, so Im not going near that again. …

ok, just to get an idea of what prices to expect if i did break it, what would you pay for ZX parts? i may be breaking a jap TT LWB auto if its going to generate enough? all bits there apart from some minor ones (like the splash guards under the ints, front bumper is N/A and so are clocks). runs really nice. NO smoke, rattles, etc. any ideas what the parts are worth? if its enough, i'll subscribe just to break it on here. cheers. si.

hi all. i have at the moment one of (if not THE) worst condition Z's ever. it has been crashed at least once and looks like a lot more. on the good side, mechanically its very impressive. no smoke, rattles, leaks, etc and it has good strong power and behaves very well. im just wandering if its worth breaking it for parts or re-shelling it? interior = tweed but very good cond, everything works, etc. its an auto LWB TT T-bar. N/A front bumper, its had a rear 1/4 (badly fitted), had the right hand side bashed in at some point, the door window shuts against the targa, front crossmember is bashed and bent, etc. but its got 11 months MOT and tax and seems to work ok …

Whos done one of these without taking the dash out? Would someone help me/do the tricky getting hands in small places. Mine arnt that small. Im sure some £££ can be arranged! I really dont wanna take all the dash out. They never go back properly!

Where to get em? online?? an what tyres i just bought a set of 18's with nagkang on an there is very little grip on em

Could anyone help me out here...... I'm considering buying a car that is, currently, in France. It has already been imported into France from the US. So my question is.... will I have to pay import duty, whats the going rate, any problems I could encounter with this route, etc? The car in question is not a runner at the moment, some people on here, who go to the same sites as I do, may already know the car ;) If you do would you mind PMing me your thoughts :D :bow: One person especially knows, as I was talking to him about it on Saturday :rofl: All help appreciated :bow: Dave

Hi, anyone got an idea where to get a Kaminari rear valance/bumper in Europe or UK? Don´t want to spent hundreds on freight from California. I like the smooth clean look. http://www.kaminari.com/products/90300ZX.htm#big_picture Would take a "360-style" rear bumper as well, if anyone knows where to get it. :) Cheers Alex
