my auto box fuse keeps blowing and it goes into limp mode ideas anyone :confused: :confused: :confused:

As some of may have read I have lent my car to loftygtr to take part in a new film! His end of the deal is that he will fix my tubs for me in the budget....the problem being I need to find some asap preferably 360 thrust bearing and please please in perfect order. I've had enough bad luck to last a lifetime!! I know Jaypsc had some and am waiting for him to contact me. Does anyone else either have some used or can get brand new quickly (very quickly!). Fitting is sorted so just the tubs please. Thanks as ever PS. sorry for posting in the wrong section but it gets more attention here and its urgent!! :eek:

had a blowout today on the m1, AA eventually came and 3 hours and 1 tyre later he didnt know the torque settings for putting the wheel on. I thought if theres one person who knew it would be JD, one quick phone call and I was right :) John, how the hell do you remember all torque settings etc :bow: I need to get down and see you bud, Im hoping you can change front to rose jointed? :) Just need to buy them first

Hi Everybody, I was looking for some advice. I'm looking to purchase a 300ZX TT, but have hit a road block. I have 2 prospectives in mind, a 93 TT Auto, and a 91 TT Manual. Which is going to be best?, both are pretty standard with very few mods, 60K miles, and look the biz. What things do I need to look out for with each of these bad boys? What is going to be the better drive? At what point should I walk away? How much should I be looking to pay? what are the hidden extra costs associated with a 300ZX? Is the squeaky whistle normal in auto? Thanks in advance Paul

before you say it i have searched the forum. i havent got a converter. speedo works fine. im having quite a strange prob with my steering and i dont think its the speed sensor. for over a year the steering has been intermittent. mainly worked on damp days. the speedo is fine but tonight the steering was all over the place. going from light to really bloody heavy!! i parked up and turned the steering lock to lock and the revs rised with the movement until the steering kicked out at one point causing the steering to go really heavy the car actually stalled!!! what the hell is up. also i can't find the connector to the speeed sensor to eliminate it from the equation. …

Which are the best and where from?

I have been using Nissan L250 concentrate, green fluid, but do the different colours matter as long as they are monoethylene glycol (I think that is the right chemical). The other day someone mentioned a pink coolant! Surely the colours are just down to a dye. Any recommendations please and quantities / ratios with water. Thanks

Has anyone ever experienced any problems with alloy wheels on track / race days?

I've noticed recently the exhaust has been a little more smelly than usual, nothing too strong and no smoke but do i need to adjust anything of have some sort of service? Car has now done 90k miles and i've had it for the last 20k always chaning the oil every 2k miles and new plugs at 70k miles...... Always clean the TB's and squirt carb cleaner in that "other" pipe by the battery once a month.....anything else i should do?

just put some new plates on my baby,i reckon they look the part,what do ya think ?????? si

Has anyone fitted the above, if you have, do you have any pointers? They are pieces of art, shame they aren't seen once fitted! PS Cheers Smithy

Met grey one on the A140 Norwich to Ipswich Road today (Thursday 28th) at 2pm, very nice :D , hope you remembered to slow down for the speed cameras ;)

A lorry has just reversed into the front of my car :nono: . The damage isn't too bad to look at - the bumper seems to just need a respray, both headlights have marks but neither are cracked and the worse bit is the panel between the headlights which is dented and badly scratched. I think it could be repaired by myself for £100ish but I will be claiming off the lorry drivers company insurance (no chance of a cash in hand deal). My question is, will the insurance company just write off the car? It's a lovely daily driven N/A LWB import G-plate but only worth about £2-2.5K at a guess. I'm a bit worried, especially as a lot of insurance companies don't want t…

Looks like a nice 1 for someone ! Zed

Dear members, As most of you know, this year’s club calendar was a bit of a disaster. The quality of the calendar, in terms of the paper quality, was poor. Many members who paid up front for their calendars, didn’t receive them and members who were lucky enough to get one, didn’t receive them until well into 2006. It’s time to decide if we, as a club, want to continue producing a 300ZX.co.uk club calendar. It would be the easy option to stop making a club calendar; however, we feel the calendar is an important part of the club. This year the club committee will be taking full responsibility of the 2007 calendar. We have selected a professional printing comp…

Due to personal circumstances beyond Ryans control he can’t be contacted over the next few days. There is no need for customers to panic business should be back to normal some time next week. Please PM Shunter if you have any problems with the above.

As above....Anyone know where Joel has gone?

Hi guy's and gals. I have been doing my HICAS rack and I removed the fuel tank heatsheild which fits to the front of the tank. Trouble is I snapped off 3 of the 4 bolts. Now what I want to ask is how many of you guy's have this fitted? And is it worth my while drilling and tapping the bolts out or just leave it off? I can't see it's doing much TBH as the exhaust is closer at the sides than the front. Ivan

Guys, Need some advice. As some of you may know i signed up for destination nurburgring 06 as I was unable to make the club trip due to work commitments. So i was well happy when i saw this trip given coverage in various jap car mags. "A great event last sees event going strength to strength etc". I should have smelled a rat early on in the process, the team were a nightmare to get hold of and repeated e:mails and voice mails left only led to the occasional call back. Nevertheless the desire to raz around the ring with a hundred like-minded people was too much of a lure. The website was professional looking and included an active forum of people all waiting in …
