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.

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

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?

and another one. anyone know what the CFM and max PSI our turbo's are rated at and what CFM/PSI would be needed for 500-700BHP? :rofl: only asking at the mo. cheers folks in advance. si.

Morning all, noticed my zeds starting to smoke pretty badly, if window is open and your sat in traffic you sorta start choking on the smell. Notice a puff if your boot it - throttle off then touch the accelerator again. Im thinking its turbo seals but would that cause smoking under fairly normal driving??? If it is turbo seals - any idea on how much to get them replaced? Cheers

hi all. just a quick question for those who know... will the N/A manifolds (or aftermarket ones for the N/A) go onto a TT head? i know there wont be anywhere for the turbo to go, etc.... just wandering if they bolt up? im upto something if it goes well. :hyper: :rofl: cheers si.

Hi pep, just wondering if i could get some help on this matter, im finding it very hard to find general info on my 300zx, ie lengths etc. The problem is i need a new boot lid for my 300, its a 2 seater swb and i was wondering if a boot lid from any 300 will do to replace it? If anyone could help or has a boot lid that would do the job i would be very grateful.

Hi guys does anyone know where the neutral switch pin is on my ECU as im doing a Auto Manual conversion. And do i just cut the wire and ground it? Thanks Steve.

I have read many threads and the time has come to start winter maint, with the plugs being the first on the list. Im running the Zed on a boost controler, chip and filter.
