Hello fellow Z enthusiasts. I have a TT auto 91 import....heres my problem with her :confused: I recently blew the auto box and had this replaced with a second hand unit, since this (I mention the above although it could be coincidental) I get erratic tick over in drive and reverse only when stationary!!If I let the car roll then the revs settle down straight away, apply the brake and draw to a halt and the revs fluctuate sometimes to 300rpm and even to stall! I have changed the IAA valve and cleaned up all the contacts too.I have also cleaned up the TPS connectors too.Once under way the car acts perfectly and seems to be working fine,come to a T junction a…

as above really, thinking of getting rid, anybody whos done it - have they missed not having it???

Hi Guys ive got no spark on no1 cylinder and im reading codw 21 on my Conzult.Is it worth changing the coilpack or just buy a series 2 PTU? Anyone have this problem before? Steve.

Hello, Ive got a wierd problem with my steering / wheel , if im driving below 60mph the steering wheel is straight and all is fine, but as soon as i go above 60 the steering wheel moves to the right, like my trackings out. the car still drives in a straight line but the steering wheel is off centre. My first thought was my HICAS system as my light comes on, so i disabled it by removing the Multiblock and putting a connector in there. I still have the problem its getting a bit annoying now. :confused: What should my next course of action be?? Thanks Jamie :D

Hi guys whats the difference betwen the series 1 PTU and the series 2. And are the connections the same? Thanks Steve.

Hi, Wonder if any body can shed any light on this for me. :confused: Set the TPS at 0.42v. Removed the g/box sump, drained the oil, cleaned the filter and new oil fitted. Disconnected the battery to clear any stored codes. Gearbox was rebuilt a few years back, by a specialist. Now here comes the problem !! :rolleyes: When driving normally, and engine at normal temp, she changes gear at 3000rpm, and a little bit too severe for my liking. Also when picking away from lights or a junction, she seems to rev a bit higher than she seems to be moving !! If that makes sense ! :confused: Over the pit at work, I noticed there was a few square dr…

hi guys, fitted my new blitz sonic induction kit today because my HKS one was really dirty and torn,when i took the rubber t-piece off from under the headlight panel i looked inside and there was a gritty, oily black residue inside the nearside pipe!! :headvswal i could understand if it was in both sides because the HKS filter was torn and not in the best shape but in wasnt,the other side is bone dry and really clean.i took the hard pipe off that my bov is on (nearside also)and its in there too but not gritty,just oily and black!! Does anyone know what this could be and if my car is on a death sentence?? Please Please help!!!!! thanks

Can someone help me please. I'm looking for the correct part number for brake master cylinder repair kit (piston) for Nissan 300zx tt 1991 with Nabco master cylinder. I have the part which Nissan have given me but knowing how useless the parts departments are i'm not too sure because inside the instructions say it is made to fit Tokico cylinder. :confused: Thanks in advance. Paul.

Hi , Changed the autobox on my jspec, & since this the car came to a hault after about 200miles or so. Lost confidence in the autobox specialist who fit the box after he put the wrong oil in. I took it to a friend , who dropped the pan & changed the oil & Cleaned everything & flushed it out ( he found a foreign body like some spongy material hanging from the oil strainer ) After this was removed & put back together & filled with oil, the car drove perfectly, went through all gears up & down & kick down it drove A1. After it was parked & later there was no drive :headvswal The second se…

I think i may be getting a big end rattle.even tho the engine was rebuilt 30,000 ago. Anyone got any idea of a price by a mechanic to change em?

Im fitting some new front discs and pads tomorrow i brought some blue print [ADL] front discs and some project u street pads [jap make ].Does anyone know if these discs are any good thanks taff.

How well does the z centre factory rear replica fibreglass rear spoiler fit and is it the same part for both 2x2 and swb thanks taff.

Silver 2x2 near asda colchester with aftermarket wheels.

Are swb rear quarter windows diffrent than the 2x2 model they look diffrent in the pics ive seen just checking .I havent broken one but my mate who works for autoglass said good luck on getting any glass for the swb model .I know the tailgate is diffrent does that mean the rear screen is diffrent thanks taff.

It's the bearing in the front where the kingpin enters. Is it possible to just replace the bearing? Called Nissan and they said that I had to replace the hole part (the third link or whatever it's called) What I need is the bearing that is inside the kingpin housing. Do I need to buy the third link or is it possible to just get the bearing?

Car currently is having exhausts fitted. What would it mean if my Lamda/oxygen sensors weren't fitted, would it cause any problems??? How do you connect them to a car with mid pipes from the Zcenter with no place to connect them? is there any get arounds?

Hi, I have a UK TT, but my car has a JAP spoiler on it, as the original uk one was bubbling so andy z, the guy I got the car from, changed it to the JAP one. I just bought some new decals for the back, A twin turbo and Fairlady Z badge for it. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the correct placing for the Twin Turbo badge on the back. I would need the distance from the inside of the spoiler, the distance from the left etc Thanks, Chris

Hi To you all. I have been wanting to get rid of those ugly uk zed rear fog lights for a while now..As the car is white, the bumper with the red fog lights just spoil the look of the back of the car. The body shop where the car is told me covering them up would not be a good long term option. Therefore can i get a jap spec bumper and fit my uk zed perfecdtly or can you get frosted lamp covers etc to cover em up and transfer a fog light to beside my brake light ... thanks Mark

The clubs AUP People think they can say and do what ever they want on here and they can't! Last night I had to ban a member as he kept breaking the AUP Policy, I am sure we all do this from time to time however this individual continued to do so.

Just a general question. Whats the difference between spark plugs ie, platinum, iridium and standard? Or will I answer it myself as the materials are different? Which ones are more suited towards my car which will have uprated boost, ECU etc in a month or so. TIA Dave G

In my previous car (200sx s14) everyone raved all the time about swapping out intercoolers, getting big FMIC and uprated wing coolers etc.. doesnt seem to be such a flavour for this on zeds, yet the coolers appear very small to me (smaller than my s14 stock one was i think). Any ideas why that is? and also would a pair of s14 stock wing coolers be better than stock zed ones if your running towards 15 psi thanks andy

Red zed on the lower level of the tinsley Viaduct(M1), Sheffield, Wed 11 Jan at 6.50am, Reg PIL 9049?
