Hello, got a few problems that have started to appear. When i start my car from cold i get a missfire ranging from 2000 - 3500 rpm which goes away when its warm, i dont know if its related but it also idles high 2000 rpm when cold and 1400 rpm when warm? My next problem is my viscous fan which has a mind of its own. When im driving all i can hear is my fan spinning the move i rev it the louder it gets. Is it expensive for a replacement? Has anyone got any ideas?? Thanks Jamie

Hi How hard / time consuming is it to replace the strips under the windows on each side of the car (both door and rear quarter)? Mine are badly discoloured and are almost grey :headvswal They look to me like they just need prying out, but I maybye wrong. I think I can get some replacments for the door strips from the Z centre, but does anyone know where to get the rear strips from :confused: Any Help and advice gratfully recived :bow:

I've found that my balance pipe is full of oil. As I already told you my car is smking a lot. What is my problem? PCV valve? Turbos?

hi i was wondering if any1 could shed some light on this.... ive been offered a set of front 6 pot ap callipers and rotors that have come off a crashed tvr race car they are in perfect working order and i was told that they will go on any car as long as you have the right brackets. can any1 tell me if this is correct all callipers are the same just the fittings are different?

went to my local spares shop to see how much a fuel filter would be £11.43 is this about right i got an oil filter from them last year and it was proper japanese filter they seem ok i just thought £11.43 was quite cheap

Looking at this :- http://300zx-twinturbo.com/cgi-bin/manual.cgi?list=ma&dir=&config=&refresh=&slide=10&cycle=off&scale=0&design=default&total=33 and with mine being a jspec, would I go for the lower amount on the gearbox (2.8l) and diff (1.5l) ? CheerZ Paul

Is There A Correct Precdure Of Removing Front Bumper,and Are They A Paine To Line Up Again Because If They Are Ill Do What I Want To Do Leaving The Dame Thing On. Thanks

1115am ish today, J-spec 2+2 with the Enzo :hurl: Sorry, rear lights :D Was it YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!! :)

I have done a quick search and cannot find the answer I am after. :headvswal Is it only the TTs that need to worry about detting? or will a Japanese spec N/A suffer from using cheap fuel? Thanks in advance, Mike...

How much and where from ? CheerZ peeps

they are off a Nissan 200sx s14 front 8.5x18 ET 35 rear 9.5x18 ET 35 Also can you recomend tyre size for both front and rear pls idealy as big as i can go. could i get 275's on the rears? oh it's not a wide arch 300 completely standerd.

Hi fellaz From stand still, when i put my foot on the loud pedal, the engine slows right down, pauses then takes off. WTF is all that about, nearly been crashed into a few times a roundabouts when I've tried to nip out and the engine/gearbox have thought otherwise. It even stalled on me yesterday, pulling away. VERY worried :(

Sorry if Im being thick here :) I tried yesterday to get some heat resistant paint on glue for my retrim. B&Q advised me to just use std contact adhesive. Has anyone got a brand name thats tried and tested that I can go and buy on the way home. Where did you guys get yours from too. what temp rating should it be too? I know its a million and one questions but I just wanna pick some up tonight and make a start - and I only wanna do it once - dont want summer to come round then have to retrim where it bubbles up. Cheers.

I am having a rear tub put on my 2+2 but I don't no if I am going to opt for a spoiler (what type might be be a separate question for the photoshop guru's). I have seen tubs on the SWB but not on the LWB please if anyone has tub pics of the LWB version can you post them so I can view. Cheers

Please forgive me for asking basic questions but I need to clarify this as a bit lost. The A pillar pod(s) that are available in ebay etc. , are they just a universal fit for the Z32 or do they need to be vehicle specific ? I mean, how do they fit onto the existing A pillar ? I always thought you removed the original A pillar and whacked these on like a clip system of somekind. Now the next question is, if I buy one from the US then will they be compatible with our right hand drive Zeds ? Thanks

Hi, I have noticed today that some of the clips on my driver side door card have broken. Just wondered if it were possible to replace them, and if so, what the part number was? Cheers, Chris

right heres the sketch, im only 21 young yes i know, only had a full license over year, did have a 200sx insured but cancelled the insurance as it broke so aint got any no claims. and i need to get insurance on a jap spec TT. yep thats gonna be hard i hear u say! need to work out some ideas though if i had another cheaper car that i was fully comp on i.e a 1 litre uno or something equally hideous would i not be 3rd party to drive any other car? i.e the zed? or whats the sketch with being a 2nd driver on my old mans insurance? anyone got any suggestions? please explain them if u have! i know yes its gonna cost big time, i earn a hell of a lot for my age, so tha…

Nice yellow 300zx today 11am (ish) northbound on the A1 near Galleleria (spelling) I was southbound in the Volvo.

Im thinking of buying a tt auto 300zx. Its cheap with full leather and in pretty good shape! Problem is there seems to be a water leak from somewhere, when driving the car it will heat but the car will idle all day without heating if you keep topping it up? Any ideas??? Also there seems to be a blow out from in round the turbo (making a whistley rattle noise) the guy said that there is a gasket in there away?? Please help/advise, car is under a grand! Thanks.
