Hi Just needed a bit of clarification over the different types of dials available on Zeds. Mine is a 1991 Jap TT that has NOT been delimited. It currently has the standard Clocks and shows upto 180KPH, with the boost gauge going from -7 to +7. I bought one of these on fleabay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-300-ZX-120-MPH-Speedo-Face-Dial-300ZX-Turbo_W0QQitemZ4621202769QQcategoryZ10402QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem to make it easier to tell how fast I am actually going! I thougt this was a good idea, as it is a straight fit, allows me to read my speed in MPH rather than KPH, but does not need to have the Odometer changed, so the milage stay…

After 15 years of careful ownership, just had some clown put a HUGE dent in my driver's side door while parked. As the car's pearlescent white, I guess a door repair/respray would be difficult to match so am thinking about a full respray. Thought I might add some 99 spec bodykit at the same time so can anyone help me with some recommendations/advice for ..... 1) Sourcing some 99 spec lookalike sideskirts (Wings West seem to be the closest I've seen so far but are there any others that are a closer match?). I've seen that the Z Centre has 99 spec front ends - are there any better out there? 2) If I'm not changing the rear lights or spoiler, can I ke…

is it ok to fit an n/a gearbox to a swb tt with just the bell housing change?? im going to be having mine rebuilt shortly and i have the chance of a n/a box in the meantime. it would only be on there until the gearbox is finished. pros and cons please guys

is it just me or is the a real pain in the arse to do? i can take the T piece off but the plastic air filter just dont come off, the bolts attaching it to the car are to hard to get to. what do i do? should i just break it off, because its starting to piss me off now!!! :smash: :smash:

just got my replacement engine sorted and need somewhere to have it fitted, ive just rang robert shaw racing and they quoted around 2 grand just to fit it.

Anyone recommend a good company who does nice license plates?, nothing too flashy just want some tidy plates would like to replace back and front. thanks :)

This is not for my ZX but for a work mate. She was unlucky to have her steel alloy wheels sprayed gold. Is there a cheapish way to get this removed? Thanks in advance

I see you had a puncture and didnt look happy :cool:

After discovering a major problem with my beloved yellow sub, i have been left with no alternative! It is up for sale! So, obviously I'm looking for another! If anyone has one for sale, please please get in touch! I'm not to bothered whether its a TT or NA, would love a shorty, but not set in stone, must be a targa though, not a slick top! Bodywork doesn't have to be immaculate, but engine has to be a good en! I have a limited budget at the moment, probably stretch to £3000, after chucking so much cash at the yellow sub! Oh, its a turbo gone by the way, i think! Its misfiring slightly, although it still runs at full boost??????????? If anyone knows any different and wa…

Hi Guys / girls my missus has a mondeo ( wow wee I know ), and she has decided to replace the battery in her keyfob for the remote unlocking, she left the battery out too long and now the key needs to be programmed to the locking. Its a 1994 ghia...... do any of you know what the procedure is for pairing the key back up with the car ? cheers Andy.

at 6pm today on Green Lane in Thornton Heath Looked like it had some nice five spoke wheels.

OK as some of you may know I ripped the thread of my o2 sensor nut. I will be replacing the adaptor with a new one from MJP (thanks again mike). Is there any special tool that anyone can suggest to remove this. The only reason I ask is that it is around a 32mm hex nut but with only a depth of 7mm or so. This means that using a normal socket of the corrrect size isnt of great help as there are countersinks of roughly the same size. Any suggestions?? TIA, Dave G

Has anyone got some turbos they're looking to sell? If so, how much?

As above was in Cottingham. Was it anyone here? :tongue:

HI wondered if any1 can help. we recently fitted a set of turbo technics bovs to my car and for some reason they arnt working, i can hear my wastegates but no whooosh not even a little 1. infact you can put your hand around the valve and you cant feel any thing being dumped either. they are fitted correctly and ive unfitted and refitted them twice know. using different vaccume pipes etc. the pistons inside the valves are moving and they where brand new. when bought. any ideas anyone?????????

I have a 1990 300ZX 2+2 N/A auto import. I seem to have a strange noise from underneath when I start up. There is also a grinding noise sometimes when I'm driving. I have concerns it may have something to do with the auto box or maybe the torque converter. I'm relatively new, so wouldn't want to get stitched up when I take it to a garage. Does this sound like a common fault?, if so, could you advise as to what I should hear from a mechanic when I take it to a garage. It may sound like a ridiculous request to some, but I have had work done in the past only to find out later that what they had done had nothing to do with the fault so I ended up spending loads of…

Been tryin to do this today, but no luck...! Will not build any pressure ! Cant hear where its going, using a compresser,removed cas wires and slightly cracked engine a few times and then i even blocked exhausts. One of vjay's from group buy. Aftermarket greedy side mount intercoolers. As far as i know i dont have any leaks, just figured i would have a go at this and check system, half wish i didnt start as want to find out why now FFS. Any ideas ?

I have just ordered a head unit for Audrey, oh I think I must explain. Audrey is what I have named the motor due to the fact that Audrey Hepburn played the lead in the film My Fairlady, can you see where I'm going with this? Anyway, the car has an aftermarket head unit in it at the moment but its Japanese. What I need to know is will the plugs be the same or does it not have an ISO connection. Cheers, Scrawni.

Hi guys, apologies if this is posted somewhere else, but do we have a guide/list to the the different years on the TT? ie seatbelts on doors etc? Ta
