Can anyone forward me to a link that shows how to do the TPS diagnostic using a voltmeter Thanks Roy

Does anyone know of somewhere good in the south east where you can take your car for a proper run? Preferably for free! I found a disused airstrip on google earth that's just off the A3 near guildford but it has padlocked gates and I cant find out who owns it!!! very frustrating as it is about 2 miles of straight fairly decent tarmac.....perfect for test runs and general scallywag behaviour. Any help would be appreciated as i'm fed up of going for a drive on the roads and getting stuck behind some 80 year old tossa in a morris minor or the proverbial tractor!

having some work done on the car at the moment including the spoiler being taken off and a tailgate skin put on it got the tailgate skin from luke at the z-centre but the bodyshop are having problems getting it to fit, its a 1990 swb apparently the bodyshop have spoken to luke and hes not been the best of help, and im getting quite pissed off with them cause theyve had it for ages but i dont know enough to actually sort it out, they say the skin fits on one side but not the other but my oem spoiler fitted the car ok!?!? has anyone else had similar problems with these?? or have any suggestions, am trying to get hold of luke as well but thought id post here a…

Just thought I would warn fellow 300zx owners. I bought a Nissan 300zx modifications installation CD from ebay from a seller called 'evolutiontech786' Here is the link Do not buy from him as I have paid and have not received, nor have I had any emails from him. It has now been 2 weeks! :rant:

I just bought a Z and just out of interested has anyone owned the one with reg G69CLH before?

I bought a zx about 3 weeks ago. It is a 1990 G reg Jap TT. I have noticed a few noises that i wondered if anyone else knew what it would be? There is a slight tappinf sound from the top of the engine sometimes, not always but if I turn it off and back on again it goes away for a bit. Any Ideas??? Also there is a rattle when i got over bumps etc sounds like bit of a clanking from underneat? any ideas on that one? It also has a slight oil leak but other than this it is by far the best car i have had so far and its only got 65k on it. Appreciate any comments / pointers offered. Also what do you guys think to changing the recircs to bov's on these, …

I'm looking at buying a Z and I test drove an import today. There were two obvious problems and one confusion on my part: 1) at low speeds in second gear there was vibration through the seat (I'm thinking prop shaft?) 2) at about 80 mph in fourth there was a vibration that seems to affect the whole car, rather than just being felt through the seat. The gearstick shook and the steering wheel vibrated as well, it felt like the car would lurch all over the place if I didn't keep a tight grip on the wheel (not a great feeling on the motorway) I'm not sure if these are related, or if one could be wheel alignment and the other something else (wouldn't expect wheel alig…

i was three cars behind i think it was an L reg looked nice very clean

Hey guys. Got a G reg Zedsled. Can I put the old skool black and silver number plates on it legally?

Saw you in Welling Way, Welling, yesterday afetrnoon. i was in my silver zed going the other way.... flashed lights... like the rear wing well high Any engine mods? Baz

I was in my silver Z behind a silver z in Westmount Road eltham yesterday afternoon.... Beeped and waved.....

Just noticed that the dust covers on my rear shocks have completely rotted, I assume that with all the muck from the road getting to them, they need changing? It looks like standard replacements are £30+VAT (per shock) at Zcentre, is there anything else worth considering (make/model), and should the fronts and springs be replaced at the same time? Also, I’m not very knowledgeable on suspension, will the standard springs work with aftermarket shocks, or do the springs need changing to match the shocks? Not really after lowering the car, but not against it (a bit), and would be happy with slightly better/stiffer suspension than standard. Thanks David

Recently put a new engine in my Zed and now think the Rear Relay unit is faulty.(the light warrning on the dashboard Anyone know why putting a new engine in would cos this to have problems? Problem started the first time I turned the car on.??

Hi Guys I have a stock 91 300zx TT auto. What should the correct boost on my car be(saying all is well)? Thanks

I think I may have a crack or maybe have split a seam in my radiator. How hard are they to work on? Can they be fixed or are they of the plastic type? The water is peeing out when it is about two thirds full. Problem is the car overheated at speed and the temp gauge only went up slightly so i was driving on it for a while!!! Hope there's no pemanent damage!!! Any suggestions please. :confused:

Just been to look at my first ZX, a '93 TT auto. Looked absolutely spotless. £4800, a bit dear maybe??? Anyway, got in to have a drive but couldn't get my knees under the steering wheel. ( I'm 6'3" ) Moved the seat back to get legs in but couldn't reach the damn wheel. OK I know I could fit a smaller wheel and a spacer boss, but my wife want to drive it too (5'2") Couldn't believe the wheel wasn't adjustable. So, 2 questions, is price reasonable, and did any models come with adjustable steering columns? Cheers.

Saw a white zed this morning in Tonbridge, Kent. Turning off opposite the police station at about 11am. Didn't catch the plate as i was in a cab but looked standard & good condition. J

As title, How easy are these to remove??

Due to my boost problems i thought i may as well try and renew all my hoses and pipes with silicon replacements waiting on Smithy to get back to me on some silicon hose but was wondering if these http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?products_id=221 would actually make any diffence to the running of the car (power/smoothness)apart from solving any leak issue i had with the old ruuber hoses? A stupid noob question-just interested if they do anything other than look 'bling'

Anybody know where in the UK I can source these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Drilled-Brembo-Rotors-Nissan-300ZX-F-R_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33564QQitemZ8067872850QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD2V Also, does anyone know who much they'd likely be Sterling? Cheers

I was removing the mesh from around my maf this morning (well worth doing IMHO car feels smoother now..) and noticed all these bits in front of the main Radiator. Just wondering what all these coolers are for? (pic attached..) Also noticed these air feeds leading behind the main headlights and wondered where they were ducting air 2/from?

Does anyone know the number for the above bearing Cheers
