Just picked up a 300sx. Had a small test drive at slow speed and all seemed fine. Did the deal, but when driving home, I opened it up and I got loads of hesitation and no real power. The engine sounds fine when standing still and reved. Any ideas?

Please could a mod shrink my signature size by half, been trying all night and its doing my head in!! Or could the top and bottom be cropped off leaving just the car. Thanks in advance Dave

Remember me posting this? Valves not seating AARRGGHH Well after a good dose of Wynnes and Redex and a bit of smoke shes running on all six again.With only the occasional missfire.

Hi there,just been out in the Z there only to find that when i go over speed bumps the car seems to bounce a lot at the back end,and when i went round a roundabout the back end bounces when it passes rough parts of the road to the extent that it feels like the tail wants to slip out? Could the shocks be worn? Anyone had a similar problem? Its an import N/A....thanks in advance guys :)

Can anyone tell me the torque settings for the rear subframe bolts as i am planning on swapping the old bushes for some solid metal ones . :confused:

Im having a job to remove the bolt that holds the inner / upper track arm in position. Its the adjustable one and so Im not sure of the design and I have never removed one of these before. I really could use some advise from someone who knows what Im talking about and has removed it themselves.

Got this rumble kind of grind noise as I turn my stearing. It sounds like its coming from the rear. Does anyone know if the hicas has an effect on the wheel brgs or if I get air in the atf fluid it will make that sort of noise. Chears.

It would appear that my aftermarket exhaust has been made without holes for the two secondary o2 sensors. As they were tucked underneath the car, only noticed when one fell out and was dragging down the road. What's the impact on my car's runnin without these in the exhaust???? Any ideas would be a help, cheers :bow:

I hate to sound ignorant but can anyone tell me what a 'slicktop' is? I've heard it battered around on this forum but can say for definite what it is apart from making a few assumptions (such as convertible). If someone could clear that up it would be appreciated! Cheers, Paul.

Hi guys, Got the rear seatbelts and car seat finally fitted today and at the same time I got the mechanic to take a look at the suspension as I posted before it's a REALLY harsh ride. He said everything looked fine although there was a little 'play' in the rear wheels. It was a nice suprise however to see a full Bilstein setup! He suggested that it's probably just set to max stiffness and reducing that would probably cure the problem. He didn't want to touch them though as he wasn't familiar with the shockies. Can anyone recommend somewhere (Scotland, Edinburgh/FIFE/Central area) that I could get them adjusted? And additionally...would you agree with t…

can anyone help please when i have the light switch off that turns lights on. doing a multi meter check the two top pink wire give me 12.3v should i get any of the bottom ones. the prob is the lights are out only main beam have checked all fuses and relays. only one not checked are ones behind fuse panel. also the circut breaker behind the fuse panel as it says breaker does it need resetting or anything is short in system anywhere. i have looked at the wire sheet and i think the one i get power from on the light switch is 5=6 thats all. cheers :confused:

Hi guys My car is idling very roughly and engine also not running smoothly. The Power is definately there as the car still moves but just not smoothly. The previous engine blew so I replaced it with a recon motor. Any help on what to start doing first to locate the problem?? Thanks

Hi guys, Richie here again!! I've replaced my PTU with a series 2 unit and replaced the engine cooling sensor but the mechanic says the car is still not charging the battery!! He says that the charging warning light doesn't come on so its not the alternator. Could it be the CAS connection and how do I go about sorting it out? If not the CAS what else is there?? Thanks Richie.
