On the series two onwards, the steering wheel was given the option of an air-bag, so does this mean that the same, updated, wheel was also available without an air-bag, or did they revert back to the old series one version? (if you see what I mean?) Series One >> Series Two >> TIA Dave

I am attempting to fit a new stereo in my car, but when I plugged the ISO connector in, i heard a funny whirring sound and a pop, and now my permanent 12v feed is only supplying .09 volts, it cant be a fuse blown or it wouldnt show anything, anyone got any ideas??? Scotty

Hi Just fitted my beatifully refurbished alloys (AVS bought from Mantav8) & they look absolutly stunning- bit worried about clearance of fronts to calipers tho. There is approx 3mm between caliper (Alloy type) & inside of wheels- is this sufficent- how much do they expand when hot? Hope you experts can advise wether need to fit a 3mm spacer! Regards Dave

Hi M8, did you manage to get yourself out of the traffic jam in Oakham this afternoon, saw you turning round by the main level crossing, was in my other car, Kia Carens. Just to let you know, that there is going to be more disruption again in the very near future, so be warned. See you soon Dave

ive developed a stalling problem today and being new to these superb cars i wondered if anyone might have a clue.it only happened twice but it was when she was hot and switching from drive to reverse it run very lumpy then cut out but restarted straight away no worries.then sitting in loads of traffic i put her in neutral then when i selected drive she tried to cut out for a split second.every now and then she ticks over a slight bit lumpy but nothing to worry about but 95 % of the time shes spot on .any ideas.

Hi Guys I picked up my Z (300ZX fairlady) yesterday. She’s beautiful. Pictures to come. There are a few small things I want to ask though. 1) The most important thing is that the speedo isn’t right. When my speedo shows 40mph I’m actually going about 50mph and it get worse as I go up in speed. As it was an import I’m guessing that it was in Km, but the dial now shows mph with km on the inside. Do you think this has anything to do with it? 2) I can’t get cruise control to work above 55ish mph. But given the problem in 1) I’m probable driving at about 70mph. 3) After a very long run, there appeared to be a leak from the very front on the right hand side. …

Just recently i,ve been getting the old smoke on tickover problem, but it,s only a quick waft of smoke and then it,s gone :confused: Now today i removed my hard pipes (which are Stainless ones ) on the n/s which is the side that smokes occasionaly , am i right in thinking , if the tub seals were on there way out i would have a coating of oil or at least some dirty looking coating on the insides of the hard pipes as mine are still clean and shiny ??? Am i right in thinking It,s gotta be my PCV valves, hopefully :hyper: Also it,s sprung a water leak , seams to be coming from behind and below the n/s throttle body and dripping down onto the a/c pump but can,t see wh…

From the pic, if you have a look at the highlighted section of the three bolts shown, would i be able to attach a custom tow eye to this part of the section would it be able to handle the weight of the zed when it has to be towed on to a recovery truck It looked pretty tough when i looked and inspected it

I just change my fuel filter today and also change the pipe going from it. It had a sleeve on it which I took off to put on the new one only I can't get it on! Just wondering what it is for and if it is really necessary to put it back on? Thanks.

Has anybody fitted EBC brake discs to their Zed? Are they OK? I'm looking for replacements for my front discs, but without needing to go for any expensive upgrades as my car is only used for normal driving. Ta.

Cruzin past 'Morrisons' at the bottom of the dual carridgeway, Weston-super-Mare. You were past me before I really noticed you - looked like a dark grey or bronze finish, stock. I was in the gunmetal grey ZX heading the other way. :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:
