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.

Black zed spotted between Methley and castleford this morning about 7.40 am?Was it black slag?

Hi there, I was rather hoping someone could help me out here..... I have a 91 Jap import auto Fairlady, derestrictor chip, cone air filter and twin Bailey dump valves, I have removed both cats and both centre boxes (replaced with stainless) and have Kakimoto rear boxes. She boosts at 11 psi and holds and I run her on SUPER UNLEADED so?????? Waht do we think the BHP might be, I have no idea and would appreciate any educated guesses as shes hitting the rollers on the 18th and they want an "owners estimate" before hand. Be cool Jase :)

Hi I've always wanted a 300ZX and I guy I know is selling one. It's a 1989 G Plate Twin Turbo Automatic Fairlady. Does anyone know anything about these? ie is it a good one or is it the one to steer clear of? Oh and I have been on http://www.confused.com for an insurance quote and it came back very high. Any ideas on this? Thanks 300zxwannabee

Have to say thanks to Scubie again; as he has just fitted a nice set of HID's to the Zed and what a differance it makes. Simple to fit; plug and play ! so who cares if most of the instructions are in Jap ! :tongue: Recomend this up-grade to anyone .! :duffer: :duffer: Kit from Ryan at Zed Tech Marcus

My wifes J-Spec TT is very slow to start. Can take about 10 seconds before it fires up. It turns over fast enough, i.e battery is giving plenty Any ideas?

me wheels have a plastic pop in centre, can you get these with a zed logo on em ?

Hi all, I really need a bit of help... I've snapped my rear steering arm and partialy snapped my rear wishbone on the drivers side. I managed to limp to a garage but i desperately need parts. I doubt i can move the car very far without the rear wheel colapsing. so it looks like i'll need to get that garage to do the repairs as they are kindly letting me keep the car there. I need to get parts asap can anyone recomend anywhere to get them from? Thanks Scorpio (Mike)

Hi guys, has anyone put a 99 spec bumper on a uk? My bumper is pretty poor and I fancy a 99 spec one. I'd also loke to wire in a set of fogs and relocate my indicators as per J spec. I'm fine about the wiring, just want to know what bits I need to phisically make it fit. Thanks in advance,

Afternoon gents, looking for some aftermarket dump valves that create a earing cracking sound, what are your suggestions

hey guys, the newest of problems today. I've put a post on here before about this but noone semed to have a clue so i checked all the usual stuff and it was all fine - then it stopped misbehaving :) Basically sometime after i stop the engine having had the lights on, the drivers side full beam comes on after i've left the car. Its stayed on all night and day this time and i now have a flat battery. Anyone got any ideas or maybe seen this before? I haven't a clue. All i know is if i drive it for a bit with the lights on then turn em off. The full beam stays off for a while. i'm lost. PLEASE HELP!! Rich :headvswal

As above! hope to be fitting my HKS FMIC next week so it would be handy if i had some fitting instructions! I have a vauge idea from pics etc..... anyone help? of know where i can get one from?

Hi all my zeds got aftermarket back boxs on! but really want to replace the downpipes and midsection!!! is it the midsection that has the cats on and what other work has to be done to replace cats or is it just a straight swop!!! cheers in advance!!

What the weight of a tt engine ,looking for a engine stand

Has anyone got a fuel tank for a lwb,Please. :bow:

Hi All.. Ive broke the bracket that holds the CD player and and little storage sleeve thing in the centre console when i was trying to remove the original Tape player from it - anyone know where i can get one or if there is a alternative i could buy of the shelf - so to speak... Thanks Ed :duffer:

Can anyone tell me if the exhaust has much bearing on performance? I have 5" pipes and my father in laws zed with small bore twin pipes is more responsive - seems to pick up more quickly. We both have induction kits but I don't think there are any more mods on either car ( I don't really know what to look for ). Any ideas?

now where does this tend to sit whilst driving mine hangs around 4 or just below when going along but in traffic stop start was going down nr 0, this because engine idleing? or somthing more sinister, plenty of oil in it no leaks etc. not had zed long so i dunno what the norm is. also when it is cold back end vibrates a little but once warm it dont do it, car has been stood for ages will this be cause? thanks

OK as some of you know I am stuck on safety boost. Using the TTZD page following an ECU diagnostic I found that I had to do the following: Trouble Code: Detected Items: Malfunction Caused By: Check:: Trouble Code:13 Detected Items: Engine Coolant Temp.

Just noticed on the adhesive spray its heat resistant to 50 Degs C. Is that good enough to use? Personally I cant see it getting that hot but when cars bake in the sun I dont know what the leatherette temp rises to?

well as some of you know i blew my intercooler up last month. i decided to take my intake pipes off to get her home this weekend (turning her into a n/a!) turned her on and started fine, went to pull off and the engine started hunting up and down.... put my foot down, went to about 3000rpm... started to cough and then cut out.. now she will start but just, and then cuts out after a while of strugling. :cry: anyone have any idea's? im quite clued up on cars but this has got me 100% stumped! :headvswal
