I am having problems with my auto transmission! It is stuck in what I think is 3rd gear and has loads of slip. When you put it into 1st it does appear to be in first but again has slip. Reverse works fine, park and neutral also okay. Oil level looks okay and oil colour doesn't look too bad. Conzult throws loads of errors: TPS signal VHCL SPEED SENSOR - A/T TURBINE SENSOR ENGINE SPEED SIGNAL SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE - B VHCL SPEED SENSOR - MTR When travelling at speed and removing foot from accelerator, engine speed immediately drops to idle (no engine braking - lock-up)? I'm thinking it could be the TCU is screwed but I'm really strugg…

Where can I get the oil strainer and gasket for my 1995 JDM TT auto transmission? What oil do you recommend when performing the oil change on this transmission?

So I had some new michelin pilot super sports fitted at the weekend and I thought I'd have the tracking looked at too, not that I'd had any issues with the steering. They informed me that my tracking was way out and that they'd sort it out for me. Their first attempt had my car steering to the left quite severly, and after their second attempt it isn't much better. I just wanted some opinions on whether the before and after shows any significant changes in toe/camber, etc to warrant the guy telling me that my tracking was 'way out', because from my eyes it doesn't look that different from how it was! But I don't really know anything about tracking! Thanks in ad…

Anyone have a phone number for Banzai Breakers that they actually answer? Are they still in business? Got a card from them last time I was there, but tel ending 2994 wont connect and tel ending 1835 drops out[emoji107]

Coolant system. I am curious. i am looking at repositioning my overflow bottle and getting a smaller one. Does the bottle need to be vented ? on the existing tank there is a hole just below the screw cap. is this necessary ? most off the over flow tanks i have been looking at do not have a vent hole

Blue convertible, 4.30 this afternoon at Witcham Toll, Ely. Pretty sure it had the plate DAV 66

hey guys looking to install an aluminium radiator and electric fan, but would like to ask if anyone know what sort of temp sensor to get and/or the temp range needed sick of my car sounding like a bus ;) thanks in advance :)

these arrived today! Also found this photo of my RX7! untitled.bmp

Hey, I plan to fit a perspex strip (WO brake light) once my Zed is painted. I was planning to weld up the brake light hole in case for some reason the centre of the perspex strip was ever pushed on, obviously with a gaping hole behind it, I'm guessing it will crack? I've never had, or seen the perspex strip, other than in pics, so not sure how it attaches, or if there is an insert or something, can anyone tell me if welding up the hole is ok? Cheers!

I'm just wondering really, do any of you ever open up the ecu and things to check the solder. Have any of you re-worked the solder or anything? I'm just thinking, would it help in the day to day running of our cars. Do sometimes think, it's better not to fix something that's not broke though lol

hi when I get my zed repaint I want to remove the stone chip from doors sills an bumper door an sills will be ok to remove with abit of heat being metal any tip for the bumpers thanks

Few alignment issues to fix yet, really not convinced on how far back the rear wheel is sitting. Can't sort the camber out properly without causing grief with the bolt that holds the rear bumper on. Thoughts? Also the centre of the cat back is virtually on the floor...some massing required there I think. Seems crazy how little stops the exhaust swinging around, which I can actually feel now because the cars rock hard.

Well, as my previous PTU didn't go wrong and to be honest, they don't fail as much as you'd be led to believe, I'm going back to a series 1 PTU until I order a brand new loom from wiring specialities. The S2 PTU and harness are damn ugly. I had thought about chopping up the sub-harness, but since there are still quite a few people still rocking an S1 PTU, I'm just going to stick mine back on there and have nice tidy wiring for a while! Who else is still using their S1 PTU?

Anyone have a drivers door grey 673 or is it 763. Good condition?

I have been looking at the Richmond web site. The only reference to a Nissan product I can see is one for a Titan?? Is this the one that also fits in the Z32 TT diff?? This....................http://www.richmondgear.com/pdf/Richmond_Catalog_Section1.pdf#page=35

Really starting to bother me, there's this periodic "clicking" noise from the interior fan. It seems to vary in noise, location and frequency based on the setting, but is unrelated to the AC itself. I plan to replace the bulbs in the instrument panel soon so is there anything I should check?

Every now and then on my auto you put it in park and go to remove the key, no matter how much jiggling and poking of the button it won't turn it's last little bit and release the key. Leave the car for a short while and it does it straight away. Any ideas?! It's almost as if something electronic is holding it off but surely it's all mechanical in that area with a park interlock cable? Thanks for any input. :)

While I'm waiting to get the car to Jimmer I'm sorting some issues while I can. The clutch is slipping but I know the clutch is good, think the problem is the rod from the slave cylinder to the fork on the box was missing so I made one up best I could. So if that is too long could that be the cause? If so does anyone know the correct length of it?

can somebody please help me with exact location of the fuel pump FUSE and RELAY on a 96 Z32 LWB Twin Turbo

hello has any one replaced there car matts with decent ones. there are so many rubbish ones on eBay and amazon. i have bought many of there and always been disappointed with there life span. if you have bought some decent ones, were from? i was considering buying some OE ones. but second hand ones look rubbish if you are planning to re upholster. cheers

Guys recently there was a post about someone who installed new Volvo washer jets. As 1 of mine is blocked and the MOT is looming at the end of the month, its the first small job to be done. Have tried clearing the blockage but with no luck. So if someone could let me know the Volvo model they were from I would be grateful.

hi guys ,im looking to change oil diff in my nissan 300zx twin turbo but im not sure where is oil cap.thanks for any advice

Hi everyone. I'm trying to get my 300 back on the road again but it has an intermittent fault with the electrics. Everything has worked fine up until the mot was due and now the complete middle of the car has no power to anything. I'm presuming its a cable or connector problem but I cannot find anything. The controls on the left hand side of the dash have stopped working - so that's the temp / heater controls, fan, wipers and washers but the problem continues down the centre console so includes the clock, cigarette lighter and the mirrors. Has anyone had anything similar or any ideas where to start looking. If anyone has a link to the fuse board translation that…
