i am shortly selling my 200sx and figure that the next sensible step would be to a 300. i will have about 4k to spend. i guess what id realy like is a tt swb manual but dont think ill find one for that money ( although there is one on your board) has anyone owned both a 200 and 300, any views. i have read the buyers guide but i cannot seem to find out if rust is an issue on these cars. help would be most welcome

Where can I get mine re-furbed and the seals etc changed?

Ok, I've ruled out a starter problem as I've replaced it and I still can't get it to start, battery wise I know it's a bit low and could be an earthing problem somewhere but I've did a jump start with my other car and the car turns over but doesnt start. Spark plugs have all been replaced, though I need to find a day when it's not sooo rainny to check for spark. Car has been turnt over with the fuel pump fuse out just in case it might have been a flooded engine. I'm sure I'm getting fuel otherwise I wouldnt have been covered in the stuff when I pulled them out! :hyper: Has an Check engine light on, then cat light comes on when trying to start. I've talked to …

About 7:45 this morning a White L reg UK TT Interesting use of lanes at sadlers farm roundabout mate ;)

Now that the plenum is off I'd like to get it cleaned up. Don't want to go for polished as that's far too bling for my liking. Anyone know the sort of place that may be able to do this ? Of course if it's Essex/Herts or even Cheshire then that would be best for me.

does anyone know it? sheared the head off the crappy plastic one and would prefer to get a metal bolt to put in there

hi guys, i wanted to know what you guys think my zed is worth! 1992 UK spec car, red technically 3 owners, but really i'm the second owner. (first owner transferred car to company name) 44,000 miles, Full Nissan Service History front nismo tension rod bushes rear polybushes blueflame oval cat back exhaust apexi air intake cloth interior alpine cd/mp3 player standard otherwise excellent condition inside and out. sorry i have no pictures at the moment, but the condition is excellent, especially for its age.

Saw Grey and Black Z32s together driving past the Garden centre near Burnham-on-sea who are you? I did wave but you probably were not taking any notice of a blue honda accord!!!

Drive the car gently until engine has reached normal temp. The first time I "boot it" the clutch seems to slip under boost. After that it's fine. Clutch bites at about 3/4 up. No problem with hill-starts. Is this the first sign that i'm gonna have to throw even more money at the damn thing!!!? Would it save some labour if I have the prop shaft centre bearing done at the same time, cause that's on its way out too...? Thanks guys :bow:

prob dave g? i was in my 406... wish i had been in my Z!

Anyone on here? Never seen it round this area before. Nice lookin zed!

As above. I can get a pair of them off the net for £74 http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=397&Car_Type=NIS300&UID=20060507140028 Just wondering if they are the same as UK spec? Cheers.

My Boost gauge is just dead. Had a new engine put in and I think they didnt connect it. I am a new owner so if anyone can help me, Where do I start looking??

Hey there I have a Auto TT. When ever I accelerate hard the 'power' light illuminates and just stays on until you turn off or change the gearbox setting. Surely the lights is meant to go off by itself after a few secs or mins?? ANy help

I have a light permanently lit on the dash saying "lights', Can anyone help me this and what it means? (in the Auto Tranny)Also when I accelerate hard a light on the dash that says 'Power' comes on but stays on till I switch off the car. what gives?? Thanks

Pegasus close hamble, black one. Anyone on here????

Something has happened to my valves. The car pulls great then all of a sudden it starts to missfire like a pig and then returns back to normal.Theres no telling where when or why it happens. I did a compression test and no 3 and 5 cylinders are down to 60psi allthough when its running well you would never believe it. I think its time for a new engine :headvswal And this one has only been in a couple of months :cry: :cry: :cry:

. When my overdrive is turned off and the car is cruising(not accelerating), the car seems to jump up and down a gear like someone is holding it back and then letting go and so forth. Please help??

Please help guys, New Zed owner and not sure sure where to start looking. Idling very rough and stalls when cold. Also mslighly missing in very low revs but power is there. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Any help on how to rid the noise from one of the hydraulic lifters? At least thats what I think the noise is??

Hi guys. I have checked all the electronics through Nissan but all looks okay. The engine is Idling very rough and misses in the low revs when you accelerate. Any advice or help??

Do any of the upgrade tubs,i.e. HKS, GREDDY etc, make provision for the turbo coolant pipes? :confused: ;)

A few weeks ago the alarm on my car started going off for no reason whatsoever..... A week later the AA came out tested the alternator which was charging at 14.4 said that was ok but the battery was not holding the charge. Went to Nissan asked for a new one as mine is under warranty who told me to bring the car in they would test it overnight.....how could i as the battery was ***ked. Anyway they let me have a new one but one of the parts guys said 14.4 was charging too high although i thought this was fine???? All seemed well then for no reason again alarm starts going off which is now does after about 3/4 hour.....re-set it and it does the same.... …

Hi guys, Dont know much about engines, but does the 300zx Z32 (1994) have a timing belt or timing chain? Thanks Col

So, the 300ZX starter motor sounds like it's been running on a Talbot Horizon. Can you fit a newer one from a 350Z that doesn't sound like a prehistoric motor?
