Was it you, gave a wave :dance:

I see you Notts Z boys and gals all the time round Notts - especially the one just down from the Queens med with the Vielside front skirt as it's my commut route but last week was a sad one when I spotted a crashed Z on the back of a flat bed by Nuthall Island. Hope you get it sorted, whoever you are. Cos

Don't know where to begin. Driving along @ 30mph and all of a sudden the car starts smelling of petrol and hesitates and cuts out. After a few tries at restarting it fires up pretty rough with even more stronger smell of petrol. Also the amber engine light on the dash cluster is constantly on now. The rev counter needle is idling between 1.5-2000 revs. The car feels extremely rough. The fan now is constantly on as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks folks....

Is it possible to add cruise control to a manual TT? If so how much work and what parts would be involved?

I've been hunting around on the web to try and find a picture that will show me the location of the fuel temp sensor but to no avail. Can anyone tell me where it is? If you have some pics it would be even better. I need to change mine but am not sure about how much work is involved, I'm basing my decision on a lot of other work around this. Cheers guys. Alex.

Got a bit carried away and accidentally sprayed a small amount of waxoil onto the belts. No problems running however when I turn on the heater/aircon, there is a squeeling noise from the belts. Is there an easy way to get this stuff off the belt?

Moreover, can you actually get them? If so and people have fitted them, do you rate them? The steering doesn't become too harsh does it with them? Ta

Just want to see if its the same as mine other one.

This is a long post - be warned! Since my engine rebuild, I must have had a boost leak and not having a TT before, I couldn't tell. I posted up about oil on one of my hard pipes, and was advised that if oil can get out -air can get in and to tighten up the clips. Well I did that and all of a sudden my boost guage has sprung into action and it picks up much better.... I took her out for the first time since fixing the leak, got out onto the M40 and put my foot down as it was empty. Usually I would have got to a cruising speed of between 90 -95 in the time I had my foot down, but to my suprise the car was off the clock (only goes to 110) and the rev coun…

Hello all, just joined the club, Love my 300zx fairaldy but she is ill. I need help big time, Exactly the same as Ronflat problems. Sorry pal, i am in same situation. Except my car was bought from a dealer only two weeks ago, and been full serviced or so they said, Very clean looking car in Charcoal grey, went to south of france, not zooming as area notorious for the french plod with cameras, that will issue a 900 euro fine on the spot or take the car as deposit. Had travelled about 400 mile's all gauges were good, no funny noises, Then totall power loss,, whenstopped the engine was glowing very hot, but the temp gauge read normal, water pouring out of expansion tank,…

finally got my z running yesterday after fitting new lifters etc, but my oil pressure on tickover when warm is around 20 psi (on a aftermarket gauge) is this to low? thanks for any help in advance kev

Starts after 5 seconds from cold. Not alternator Pretty sure its not the p/s pump but cant get belt off so not 100% sure. Anything else it could be, like cam belt idle pulley, water pump anything??? Goes once warm but a little worried.

Has anybody ever come across this alarm system before as its fitted to my Z and has stopped working sometime ago, I have scoured the internet for it but can not seem to find anything at all. Even the manual imobiliser key switch no longer works and this is defo worrying! I know I can get another fitted for about 2 - 300 quid but if mine is serviceable then I would rather do not spend that cash. Any help would be very much appreciated. I accidently post this in the wanted items section too....
