Does anyone have one in good working order and if so how much? Been advised not to bother with seals and get a second hand good one. So any help is appreciated!!! Thanks.

Apparently i can up the boost on my motor, does anyone know how to do this? is it a big job?

hello everybody, just bought a 1990 tt on standard wheels i would like to ask you what would be the correct offset/size/rim etc for 17 or 18 inch wheels as most of the web sites dont seem to list the 300zx? for example 5x114pcd et35 the car is on totally standard springs etc need to get bigger wheels and tyres cos i have been informed that the car has got a "variable" boost systeminstalled and pushes out approx 400BHP!! and the wheels look very very small in my opinion thanks in advance :bow: :bow: simon

as above how do you up load a picture to use as a signiture thanks in advance anyone:)

Has anyone brought completely clear rear lights like this puppy. Where do they come from?

Does anyone know what the red switch does on the front of the gearstick on an auto?

hi just changed my heater matrix, oh the joy! it is getting warm but not as hot as it used to. any ideas, have i forgotten something or does it need bleeding, if so whats the best way to do that? cheers Richard

Looking to purchase this, can anyone confirn by the pic if its for a 2+2 or for a swb model?

Does anyone know of any difference between a uk and j-spec water temp sensor (ecu)? I could only get a uk one and car won't run for sh*t with it fitted!

Right then - I've decided to fit some addtional gauges to my NA and have decided upon Oil temp, Oil pressure and Water Temp. I will be looking at locating them in the spare DIN slot beneath the head unit. My question is: what are the advantages/disadvantages of both capillary and electrical gauges???? I'm erring towards electrical ones at the mo as I perceive these to be easier to fit. All comments, critcisms, observations, personal recommendations and experience welcomed................................

Anyone know what the biggest alloy size i can fit without any arch mods? With a 40mm drop all round! Hoping to fit at least 20's!

One of my recircs is making a "woo" kind of noise now and then so i'm guessing it's past it's used by. Anyway, i was thinking of just removing them so is it safe to do so? i'm assuming it is as i'm only running 1 bar or so. Will i end up with fuelling probs, i.e. running too rich? If it's ok to remove them what's the best way of going about it? cheers.

My 'def' window isn't working and is a real pain, i have to keep wiping the windscreen while driving. Everythings working but won't blow up to the windscreen, just the centre and by the feet (changing between 'def' and 'auto'). Maybe just a flap not opening or something. Before i start ripping into it can anybody help, had same problem ?

my fuel tank pipe ,the pipe that runs from where you top up at filling stations to the tank was rusty and had holes in spilling out fuel,Now about to put replacment pipe on, i noticed it had different fule cap as this was of a non turbo, and the cap has no holes in and tightens right up, where as my origanal cap makes a clicking noise sujesting its not pressureised . would this be true , oh yes and my car is a UK TT. MANY THANKS :)

Ok fitted the Autobox oil cooler from the Z Centre today and it was a bit more work than I anticipated, the bracket that is supplied with it aint great and placed the engine oil cooler touching the metal to rubber join on the oil feed so i didnt like that, I decided to fit the larger engine oil cooler in front of the gearbox cooler which is opposite to the way the instructions said to fit as there was no chaffing with this fitment , will this be a problem? On one of my oil feed pipes for the engine has a metal restrictor in it, is this supposed to be there? Does it matter which pipe from the gearbox gets fitted to what end on the cooler itself ( feed and return ) A…

Just dropped my car off there and spotted this Z. Anyone from here?

:tongue: twas good fun that! :dance:

Sunday afternoon 19th feb. Nice wheels mate!!!

Right guys could do with some help, before I rip the car to bits looking for this problem........I've done a search (loads of pages.....can't find the answer) Mine is a Jspec N/A and up until recently when I selected high beam then low beam remained on and high beam came on, but now low beam goes out(not good for HID's), reading the online circuit drawing implies that on/off is correct but it never used to do this and it's driving me nuts anyone had this happen to them, am I right in thinking the low and high beam should be on when the high beam switch is on. cheers Pete :headvswal
