Hey there I havea 94 Jap Spec TT (RHD) and am in desperate need of new shocks. Will the KYB GR-2 fit my car??? Thanks for the help

Hi, Does anyone know of any aftermarket bumpers that cater for us guys who have single exit exhausts? Cheers, Justin

Had a 300zx.co.uk sticker in the rear quarter panel and waved at me as i flashed the lights. Glasses on i think, i was watching the road too carefully lol Was off to nottingham at high speed :D Must be someone on here :D

Ok I definitely need help on this. My Cobra alarm has a red led on the dash and I was hoping to change it to a blue led to match my interior lighting. Now looking through the spec the red led is running on 12v and the blue led I have found runs on 3.6v thus I need to put a resistor to get this to work. Now the thing is any ideas what strength resistor do I put and where do I get one ? Also, will this resistor be attached to the red wire of the blue led going back to the control unit or the black one or do I need 2 resistors on both the wires ? Never was an electronics guru so need help guys and gals. Cheers !

A big thank you to Gaz for letting me see and use data scan for a general health check. You can read what you like about it, but only you can make your mind up once you have seen it! In my opinion it really is a fantastic bit of kit, and I would like to get hold of it in the future. Thanks Again Gaz! :bow:

Just leaving Halfords in the Kingsway retail park, Dundee. Same age n colour as mine only big spoiler on back.

recently noticed a noise coming from the rad fan area at the front... starts at 2k revs and goes to maybe 4k revs.. its like a bellow, and actually sounds like i have a v12 8ltr monster engine in the car, which of course i dont... its deffo engine speed related, just not sure if i can stop the fan in any way (a simple one) so i can say its definitely that... if it needs sorting then i'll sort it, i just need to be sure.. also i'm a bit concerned that this may harm the car, altho its unlikely and at the RR i just went to it performed very well, so probably wont have an impact on performance.. any help welcome.. Tony

firstly i think i may have a vac leak i can hear hissing on the passenger side rear of the engine, tried all the pipes cant find it,also sounds like one on the drivers side also by the egr feed pipe can hear it as soon as the revs pick up nothing, could it be because i have silicone pipes i can hear vacuum in the pipes? (must say plenhum has been off and have done a water/vac bypass) so it has a new pipe to the egr, alos where the iaa plugs in there are two connectors in that area which one plugs into the higher of the 2 valves yellow or white? not sure if i may have reversed these,although the car ticksover fine as soon as i turn on the a/c the revs drop instead of inc…

Has anyone got a spare ecu for sale for a 300 zx tt, as i've now had mine tested and found to be faulty, i need it back on the road asap, its doin my head in looking at it sat on the drive. So if anyone has 1 they want to sell me I'd be grateful. Cheers Guys.

I recently got my 1st 300 and it looks like i was done as I have just found out the head gasket has blown on it. It's a 1990 J spec 300zx TT auto. I am seriously gutted! Does anyone know roughly how much i should be paying for the labour to do it? also where would be best to get the parts and which gaskets and stuff would be best? Is there anything i should know , do's or don'ts on doing the job?? Are all the parts i will need the same on a J spec as the UK cars? Any help anyone can offer would be great as this is something i know nothing about and i want to make sure it is all done right and i don't want to be ripped off. Would it be better, cheaper to get a…

My Z is 1990 TT SWB Manual. I went out to my zed last night and it wouldnt start. The starter turns the engine over and over but it doesnt catch. (The starter has a habit of just grinding on its own sometimes but thats another story.) Checked fuses and connectors (had history of connector problems) still no joy. Took coil pack out, there is 12v on the middle connector pin but i dont think im getting a spark. Although i have a worry that the spare spark plug i was testing it with wasnt seating right, do zeds have longer spark plug ends? About to run ECU diagnostic to see what it flashes. The main purpose of this post is: is there any way of checkin…

How many of you have removed there fan shroud on your standard radiators and have seen any change in the Temperature gauge Would it be better to leave it on or leave it off on a standard radiator Will be looking for a Koyo Rad later on but just considering it for the meanwhile

hi guys anyone got a faq link to changing gearbox oil???? :smw: tried searching but only came up with oil recomendations ( mt 90 )

Putting the cambelt on now and the released the auto adjuster and it was reluctant to push out, so I helped it and out she came. But it doesnt stay pushing hard, it has a bit of back play, about half a mm if you push on the belt. I dont think thats right, im sure it should be tight all the time, but wanted to ask you lot before I put it all back togther again.

I've got a 1990 Z32 TT, and in the last couple of days I've noticed that when I touch the throttle at idle (hot or cold) the revs actually drop before rising again. This makes it very jerky moving off, and nearly cut me out once or twice. Normal idle speed is about 1200, revs drop to 1000 or less before rising. It then stopped doing it for a bit, but this morning when I came to start she just wouldn't fire. Starter was running fine, fuel pump OK, but no ignition. I cleaned out the TPS connector, WD40'd various others but no luck. Gave it one last go and she started up, but idle all over the shop. Idle settled down after a few minutes, but with the revs dropping …

As above.. My cruise has never worked [albeit i have tried to get going] and the last owner of the car has picked at the steering wheel!! Any body got a good source [not ebay] Dave

Is there any difference between the 350Z Brembos and those from an EVO 7/8 ? :bow:

Well all the amps on my stock bose system are dead they just put out a high pitched noise. So i hooked my speakers directly to my new h/u even the dash speaker but one of my rear speakers is blown and my h/u only puts out 40 watts and the speakers strain the deck so i was thinking of replaceing the rear speakers with some 100w peak ones and running a amp to all the speakers but befor i do i was wondering what the peak wattage on the stock speakers in my 90 2+2 thx
