What is the control mechanism for the sub fan? As mine comes on with ignition all the time. In the fusebox there was a relay missing, maybe the previous owner removed it to stop the fan running fast all the time. - On ignition the sub fan is always on at slow speed. - Plugging a relay in "SUB FAN" makes the fan run at fast mode. - Removing the "RAD FAN" relay stops the fan. Before you mention it, the EFI loom is brand new, all connectors are perfect, and both coolant temp senders are brand new. :cool: Is there a thermostat in the side of the radiator like on my Laguna? Thanks guys.

Posted on another thread; http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=81080 But thought might not get looked at and i need the info ASAP so iv given it its own thread. Thanks jack. Unfortunatly i had already taken it to the garage but they were able to identify it as a leaking power steering cooler (small radiator infront of the main rad), which rings true as i had to top up power steering fluid as my hicas light came on and the leaking oil had a red colour of ATF. Has anyone had any experience of this fault before and would they know how much it would cost (Nissan only part?) part + labour or is it a straightforward enough job that i could do myself. If so …

I am planning to a flush out of my coolant system and add some Water Wetter when I refill to help ease off some of my over heating problems. Could someone give me a step-by-step guide of how to do a coolant flush on a zed and where I can find all the bits I need to remove etc? Much appreciated. Also, for those of you who are using Water Wetter how much do you use and how much regular engine coolant do you use? From researching on here I can see that most people say one bottle is fine and it does have anti-corrosion properties so can do without additional antifreeze but this will last me through the winter (car outside at night) so don't want to take unnecessary risks but …

Just wondering if anyone's fitted the nice blue tints to their JDM model? Something I'm thinking about doing some day dependant on how long I keep the thing of course. I bet new glass costs a fortune!

Has anyone got a spare helmet for japfest so i can go round the track, i have a big head so it has to be big.

Came back in from tesco parked up and gave the loud pedal a little bit of a prod, could hear something rattling. Two prods later and a sound of something metallic falling off and bouncing round the engine bay eeek Looked in the engine bay and the bolt on the front of the cam belt cover had worked its way lose and dropped off under the car bouncing off the belts luckily not getting wedged in there. Phew :o Better go bolt it up tight and check the others while i'm at it...

Is this a anti sway bar but with a different name?? if not what is it and what does it do?

Just seen the pink rex on front cover of Banzai mag, seem to remember someone here was getting their zed 'pinked' fairly recently, Anna I think - but not sure. Have been on hols, did I miss the photos of the end result?? Can't quite visualise it myself...........

I’ve been talking to UK based suspension manufacturer NITRON about manufacturing a kit for the ZX. They’re basically there with it now and prices are as below: NTR Sport £1195 (1-way) NTR Track £2095 (2-way) NTR Race £2395 (3-way) ... all plus VAT Quite a jump up to the Track set as that and the Race set use the piggybacked reservoir canister assemblies. All these kits include new machined top mounts with spherical bearings. We don't use any rubber bushes, only spherical bearings. Spring rates are to your spec but the standard setup will be ~8kg/mm fr and 6kg/mm rear (linear). These are not to be confused with some…

Hi, Tried to PM you but apparently you can't receive PMs or emails. Are we still on for that exhaust system as discussed on the 300zx forums? I believe you said £40 which is fine as long as your system is structurally sound (i.e. has less rust than my existing one). Cheers, Ian A.

Hi, I have bought a Stillen induction kit (K&N) style and plan to fit this weekend. Is there a step-by-step guide someone can send me? Thanks Col

Hi peeps, Im just stated getting a noise coming through, what sounds like, the transmision tunnel. It reminds me of a wheel bearing starting to go, that funny rubbing sort of noise. Ive just had new discs, pads & lines fitted....supposedly no probs there. Soooooo......is there a prop shaft bearing on these cars? if so does it sound like mines on its way out. Is it pricey to fix? Cheers Marc

any pics of them out there? never seen any done in this colour...toying with the idea at moment!

Just completed my last commission and as I haven't got any more painting or photo jobs on for a bit I thought I'd do something I've been meaning to do for a while now. Tonight I finished sketching out a rendition of the Millen/O'Connell/Morton Z32. It's going to be an oil on canvas piece, 700mm x 500mm and so far I'm having fun doing it! :)

just a quick question... does the 350z ray alloys fit on a zx? if so, anyone got a picture of it done on the site? adam

Me again. all this having a 'net connection again is great! anyway, i have a prelude (thats for sale after getting my 2nd Z) which has a VFD (vaccuum [cant spell it] flourescent display) dash. its one of the things i love about it and i was wandering if anyone does a similar thing for the Z? basically it looks black (you cant see the clocks or needles, etc) untill you switch it on then it lights up like :rofl: that sort of colour. i'd love one for the Z's if they're about? cheers. si.

My black TT goes in to the body shop next week and i can't decide what colour mesh to use black or silver :confused: It's having a shogun bumper fitted and also viper front wings. :)

just been out to top up my power steering fluid and noticed a couple of spots of oil just under the the front. Traced them up and looked though the gap in the front spoiler and saw a mess of black oily substance underneath the offside dump valve. I immediatley checked the oil level to see if i had been running dry (and hence my high temperature issues, see thread "New z owner") but it was on full and seemed nice and clear and new, unlike the stuff coating the bottom of my car. Iv checked all other fluid level and seem fine apart from cant see how to check transmission fluid level (manual box). Could it be a crack in the gearbox or something like that? It is deffinetly pro…

Just watched a nice looking Silver SWB NA targa sell on Ebay for £1750.00!! :hyper: Nice F40 type allys, Apexi Zorst and high rise spoiler. Taxed and got MOT till Mar07. I was thinking that in the spring when my new project car emerges I might sell my current red Slicktop. Hmm! :nono: At that sort of money maybe I will just park it up and keep it for spares. :o

Just dropped my car in to have some bodywork done on it and am considering having my Greddy sideslirts blended in. I know it looks far nicer and stops a lot of rubbish getting between the skirts and bodywork but I am guessing it's a total mare if say a front wing needed removing for some reason? Any opinions? Justin:)
