Just installed the braided clutch line from master cylinder to slave and I'm trying to bleed it. 2 man job, clear tube on bleed nipple on slave cylinder, pumping pedal and opening bleed then closing and releasing pedal and repeating. Still seem to be getting air and the fork isn't moving much with the pedal pressed am I missing something?

Yeah as the title states. Another possible problem.. The bottom end of the engine has become quite loud. You can hear something ticking buts it's louder than just a ticking noise there is plenty of 10w 50 fully synth oil in it. Only just changed spark plugs, oil filter, oil, fuel filter. The noise just came on as I was driving.... any ideas?

Require a couple of Euro Spec VIN numbers. Preferably TT & NA numbers to test Nissan FAST.

Got my ticket today but will not be able to make it this year so up for grabs

Hi all, Who else can supply after market chips for the Z? I know DTA used to but I know he isn't trading anymore and don't want to buy off eBay. Ideally want one asap. Thanks Dan

Has anyone personally imported a 300zx themselves, I have my eye on one at a dealership however the importers close to me seem to want a bit too much to bring it in, the car is 330,000 yen roughly 1800 quid and im looking at £4k in charges.

how the hell do i remove the glove box lock, got it all dismantled but I cant see how you get the plastic bit out that hold the barrel in place?

Anyone recognise this?

Looking for a demon rear skirt, or the wide demon rear bumper Anyone got one for sale?

Got a call from my brother yesterday telling me he heard of a chap selling a TT engine, he told me he'd passed on my phone no., so i got a call from him today, we had a chat and a haggle, (i've been assured that the engine is running sweet with no smoke etc). Managed to get him to throw in a set of UK clocks, manual gear knob and the engine for €650:rockon: Just have to find €650:blush:

Had my boost gauge plumbed in for a while but the sparky keeps letting me down. So In thought may as well hae a go at wiring up the gauge for illumination myself, can't be that hard LOL. I've been told to open the cruise control pod and attach the wires then, but I'm not sure where to, can anyway that has a 1993 Jap TT tell me which wires to use? I have attached a pic of the area I'm planning to use, just need to figure out which plug then which wires. Cheers.

Alright guys. Changing my disks and the ones I had for replacement which are 350z disks don't fit. Just wondering if anyone has a idea what they are the pictures where there are 2 is mine v the 350z ones the point to point on mine are 330mm Thankyou

Been trying to sort my boost controller lately but when doing so, I noticed the vac/boost piping that goes to the controller is 6mm but the piping that goes to the external wastegates is 8mm. So there's a reducer/expander in there. I'm just wondering if this matters at all or if it's too small to make much difference.

Look at these I know they are Recaros but not the model or part. These would be a good choice for an OEM+ interior. Anyone recognise them?

Hi just painted diff today gloss hamerite black but don't like it might strip it and respary it a Matt silver what have other people done and what paint do I use I take it factory colour is Matt black thanks .

So although my ideal Zed is a SWB TT Manual (pref. Slicktop) I went to look at a LWB NA Auto today. http://www.gumtree.com/p/nissan/nissan-300zx-/1113605959 I thought it looked quite clean and straight in the pics and the description gave the impression it had seen some recent expenditure in all the right areas with regards to maintenance. As it was only a short trip up the M4 I went to take a look with cash in hand. Unfortunately it was so much less than I imagined. Dents in several panels, rust on arches and cills. Massive lip on rusty discs and cheap tyres. Wheels dire, paintwork way beyond correcting. Engine bay disgusting, tears in several interior p…

ok so iv noticed that when im giving it the beans especially in 1st gear at high rpm the throttle seems to stick for a few seconds, iv checked all the mechanical parts like the peddle, cable and linkages . just wanna know if anyone has any experience with this? kinda terrifying while going sideways xD

Does anybody know how to remove the pods? Cannot see any screws?

Hi ! I have a 91 TT auto. Import. I have converted the speedo from KPH to MPH Does this mean the odometer revolves round in MPH since the conversion? Reason of asking is, in the past year I seem to have clocked up 5K miles reading the odometer! This seems a lot of miles as it is not my daily driver. If the odometer is still revolving in KPH then it's 3.5K miles! Suppose I could drive 5 miles in my daily then take the Z on same route to see if odometer reads 8k.

As above required, if you can help drop me a text on 0792915982. cheers sayers

Has anyone carried out the "Air Mix Doors" test in "Active Test" mode of "Auto A/C" Just a thought... Rich

Hi Guys. Looking to change out my front bypass hoses as I suspect a small leak might be from there. Just wondering if its a fairly straight forward job to do? Pull the rad and fan to get proper access and take it from there? Any help gratefully received! Thanks. :)

just working through the cruise system to try and find my fault , my car is a series 2 auto, I have two switches on the break pedal , one white one black, when testing for continuity on the bench they work opposite to each other, one is NO and the other NC Is this correct or should they both be NC when mounted, and the break pedal is in its normal return position. ( so the switch plunger is depressed). anyone got a Scooby ?

Hi, I can't remember how to tell what side is what... can anyone please help !! i haven't noticed any marks on them to indicate... (ps, no i don't have a car to put them on)

My mate has his own windscreen company . I'm looking at getting a new screen in my slicktop he says he can get me bronze / bronze top tint screen on special order needs to be made for £250 plus fitting or a blue screen for £100 plus fitting . So it seems you can get bronze screens but there big money . Think I'll go for blue / blue uk screen .
