Right you may have to bare with me on this one ;) My turbos went and i took my car 2 probably one of the best turbo sepcialists in the country if not Europe. They don't fit turbos as a rule just manufacture them to specification. But we had a deal that they would fit them as i was going to try a new type of turbo and if it didn't fit which it didn't i would go for a second option which was a T28/T3 hybrid. Anyway they had quoted me on fitting these turbos, while they had the engine out they said bottom end oil compression was low gaskets needed replacing and a 3 week job ended up 2 n half. now what's happening they are saying they are not goi…

hi guys ,got a small problem thats really annoying,ive a slight steeringwheel shake at about 70-80 ,ive had the wheels balanced 3 times and still there,had some work done by zen garage last month ,and while they had it told them about the prob ,and they checked the rack and steering ujs etc and couldnt find a prob,but its still there, just wondered if anybody had any suggestions,iam at a bit of a brick wall ,could it be something like bushes etc ,but i would have thought zen would have spotted that? what do you guys think cheers. :headvswal

I have a JDM spec TT. Think my oil pressure is not working 100%. What should it be sitting at when car is warm? 1. idling 2. foot down on throttle. Thanks?

Howdy all, first off - thanks for the advice in the past, really saved my ass when i got too enthusiastic trying to maintain my car. Reet - after messing about with the steering rack my steering wheel is not aligned correctly so that when the wheel are straight the steering wheel is sort of in a right hand turn position. I could remove the steering rod from the rack and fiddle with that plastic index thing but can i remove the steering wheel and put it on so its 'straight' on.

This is what one guy told me to do: Check your water level and sensor wiring on sender for temp gauge. I do not know were the sensor wiring and sender are, as I new to this car. Also, my engine seems like it idles really high? Were should it rest? Could this be a problem? Mine is 95 non-turbo, just casual driving what is the best rpm's to shift at?-for gas? Thanks for all your help and soon to be future help as I plan to start doing many things.

Well, I knew I had a tiny coolant leak somewhere but I didn't realise the engine was running quite so warm. Finally got Datascan running properly on Karputer and reading mid to high 90's for water temp. Anyone any suggestions for cooling her down other than the obvious radiator... :bow:

Hey guys When my O/D is switched off and my foot is off the throttle , the car seems to be slipping up and down a gear every 2 secs. Feels like the car is braking then letting go and then braking and so forth. Only happens when O/D is off and foot of throttle(coasting) Please help!

Friday afternoon in the car park ?? G reg I think ? Alan............

Does a jap import TT have an oil cooler?

when i bought my car some one had partly removed the badge sayin fairlady z on it an left a mess behind i was wondering where i could get a replacement bit of black sticky vinyl to go under the spoiler??? :confused:

Where can I get this bit from and what is a reasonable price I have Jasma Stainless back boxes but this bit is rotten also it has another silencer piece in it unlike this Pic? Thanks

Anyone fitted one of these? I managed to burn out my window control relaly yesterday :headvswal Managed to resolder the burnt out track... phew! I'm about to give up. The wiring article i got from this forum says "GREEN WIRE TO MOTOR". 12v to this wire makes the window go down :( Any help would be gratefully received. :bow:

just went to check the handbreak shoes and i thought i would check the bushings first (good job too as the fookin heavens opened right up and it lashed down with the old thnder and lightshow too!!). i noticed on the end of the arm that comes from the hicas the bushing looked like it was frayed, after closer examination with a plastic probe i found it was split, and a grease like gunk was oozing out. can i get a pair of bushings to replace this one and the other side? and is it easy to fit? thanks. piccy attatched..

i was in the silver beast, beeped ya!

a wide arched kitted zed with rear light conversion driving out of treaton towards aston about 11ish, i pulled up at the side of you(not in my zed) just before you turned off towards aston.

ok this is proberly a silly question as nothing is easy on these's things but what is the easiest way to get to the starter motor on these cars. above or below thanks graeme

I half asleep waiting at lights and got woken by your dump valve as you passed!

Right, I have the harness but only problem is that it's the wrong one! :headvswal Chris has suggested that I hack the thing, only I dont wanna hack it so I took the harness apart and am trying to put the wires back in order! Anyone have a Greddy Turbo Timer installed using the correct harness for a Japanese Spec car? If you do could you take a picture of the harness I'll be very grateful.

I just bought a 95 300zx non-turbo, five speed with 124k on it. I will post pictures tomorrow if anyone is interested? Couple questions? Anything I need to know about this car? When I am driving the temperature gauge goes from about halfway and bottoms out rapidly and repeatadly especially when I give it gas. Were should the oil pressure gauge rest? What kind of gas mileage am I going to get being on the highway 90% of the time doing about 70. Anything anybody can tell me about the car or if anyone has one that is located in Ft. Worth Texas that knows there stuff really well!! Thanks, Jordan
