Could someone perhaps advise me where on the VG engine it could possibly drop 3-4 litres of oil from within 30 secs? Got in the car this afternoon, kicked it up, drove 10 yards and heard a liquidy hissing/spluttery noise, 20 secs later oil pressure dropped to 0, so pulled over. looked in the road and theres a 50 meter streak of oil, a peek under the car and i saw a nice puddle of oil and it was all dripping off the subframe! :( Ive had a good look underneath and I cant figure for the life of me where it all could have come from, and so fast :( any ideas? Really had enough now, lots of time and money spent over the past couple months and my lucks gett…

Where do ZX owners go in the SW for specialist non main dealer support? I've just bought a ZX but need to run it past someone that knows how to set the car up properly. It has a few probs - not sure about the state of the turbos and it sometimes stalls when I brake hard. I'm based Weston-super-Mare. any help welcomed. Cheers. :confused:

Has anyone successfully gutted out thier catalytic converters to retain the stock look?

Can anyone help me? I dont wanna put it through a main dealer (cost) if I can avaoid it. Is it a simple fix?

It's not caused a problem as of yet, but I got my Zed out this weekend and noticed than the lick doesn't stop turning at the unlock position. It'll click as if something is broken and then almost continue to turn. I daren't push it any further incase it breaks, but it still locks and unlocks ok. Any ideas? Is there some kind of clip behind it that breaks? Ta

Anyone know what relay controls the indicators? The relay for the hazards works fine, tried jiggling and switching on/off the hazards, checked the fuses. Nothing :( If the turn signals use a seperate relay where the heck is it? I've found the hazards one in the footwell

Hi all, Ok, i've got my prop off and have replaced the center bearing. When I move the front UJ (nearest gearbox) it seems to have a notchy feel in its straight ahead position when you move it slightly off axis. Is it buggered or an acceptable level of wear. If it is gone can anyone recommend a prop specialist in the essex area to put a new UJ in. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to remove the engine with the gearbox still attached? Or do you have to remove the gearbox first? Curious to know, as I know that some cars they can both come out together. I should be removing the engine this weekend, so am planning ahead for the final stages. It's almost ready to lift now, just need to figure out what I'm doing with the gearbox and a couple of other little bits.

Hi guys, have had my z for a couplea weeks now and love it :nana2: . Just a couple of questions: 1) the fuel cap release is VERY flakey. sometimes takes me 4-5 attempts to get it open.. is there a known problem with these and/or a fix. The lever by the drivers seat feels a bit loose, so could be the cables stretched? 2) There is quite a lot of "transmission whine" when the car is in gear and moving. Difficult to know if there's a problem or not, or just components getting old etc.. Not really a question, I know! 3) Does anyone make "bags" or similar for the T-bars? Haven't got anything to put 'em in, and don't like them being loose in the boot.. Thanks…

I am tearing my hair out (what's left) my wiper blade is howling like a banshee, I have cleaned my windscreen a million times with alsorts, I have changed wiper's I am now on silicone ones (not as noisy but not realy wiping). I think I need new arms any suggestions? :confused:

Hello all the Zed is finally up and running again since. As I only really used her round the doors I hadnt really noticed this to much, but as I was returning from Manchester having had loads of work done I noticed that going at speeds of between 60 - 80mph and more the whole car shakes like hell. Its fine at lower speeds. Am hoping it is just tracking and balancing of the wheels etc. If not what else could it be??? Thanks in advence.

Anyone have their zed close by and could measure the interior bulb? Mines gone and I was hoping to order one today, but from past experience I remember these not being a std size. Cheers

Dear All, I would like to know, what was the major body styling differences in the 99 spec and previous models. I realise the front bumper was different but what about the side skirts and rear bumper/spoiler ? Where they any other differences ? Thanks

Hello, I have just become the proud owner of a newly imported 300zx twin turbo its very un abused and is completly standard so standard infact that it doesnt even have an alarm on it which is a must specially with the area i live in.
