Whats spose to hold the battery in on a jap TT? Had to fit a new one today and its a little sloppy as its a little smaller than the old one, that kinda just sat there ok. Its currently held in by string and foam packing....

I have nearly got my plenum removed from my zed but am I right that there is a mod for the water pipes or a kit to remove the coolant pipework from the plenium. Also I have corroded/broken injector plugs, can alternative plug kits be bought from RS or do they need to be sourced from the traders or Nissan (I have seen something on Courtesy Nissan, sold as 3 connectors). Cheers John Crisp

been noticing a burning smell when getting out of me Z recently so after a quick inspection in the engine bay noticed what looks like a small oil leak coming from the engine :( . Not very technical but can describe it as closest part of engine to battery. looks like some sort of gasket not sure, was just wondering if it is a common place to get a leak or if anyone else has experienced it. Does not seem to be loosing much engine oil thought. thanks for any help all. Evo

Can I just install this instead of having to change over the rest. I know it will mean that the odometer is still in KM but doesnt bother me. Just makes it easier to say the milage of the car. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300-ZX-120-MPH-Speedo-Face-Dial-300ZX-Turbo_W0QQitemZ4625343806QQcategoryZ10402QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem TIA, Dave G

Just done a error test as the informeter said I have 2 error codes stored I got 2--1 and 1--2 Ignition sensor circuit Airflow meter The maf one was caused by me not connecting the Maf and starting it could the ignition one be caused by me fitting a grounding kit the other day as I have no running problems at all. Can I clear the codes in anyway so I can see if it was caused by me or actual faults? Cheers Guys

Probably a dumb question, but anyway... Should I check the oil level on the 300 when the engine is cold, or warm? Reason I ask is, I have an oil cooler rad in the car Dave.

Does anyone know wheres the best place to buy Racing Hart Wheels from ? Thanks

Just bought a TT. Fantastic car but the brakes are spongey. Is that a big deal or just a fluid change. New to Z's. :rolleyes:

Is the rear brake calipter the same size as the front. Thinking of rebuilding. Can I use the this set for that:; http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=653&Car_Type=NIS300&UID=2006033115262382.116.88.41
