Could Anybody Help! Am Looking For A Series 2 Ptu For My 1990 Uk T/t. Very Urgent Thanks.

hi to all wonder if anybodys had this before,i have a strange gurgling sound coming from the car but it sound as though its down behind drivers wheel or the drivers footwell the car seems to be running fine and it only appears to make the noise when its ticking over about 1000-1200rpm.The car is running cool on the temprature guage and the oil pressure is good so any ideas :tongue:

my overhead roof fan for the aircon sensor has started squealing. How do you remove the console that it's in? Do you just yank it off, so to speak?

I will be putting a new OEM radiator in the Zed next week. I have previously had some trouble with refilling the cooling system, in particular I think I had some air trapped in the system. I understand it is best to have the car on an angle when filling but can anyone tell me what is the best way to fill it so that I don't trap any air in the system? Thanks, Mike...

Last week my 300zx TT fan belt broke. To cut a long story short we got it to a local garage (not Nissan) who also replaced the other two belts. Since then it keeps chucking the power steering belt, we are now on the third one and it's gone again after under 20 miles. I am getting pissed with the garage and they no doubt feel the same about me. They maintain they're doing it right, I say they aren't. Is there anything that they can be doing wrong? Any suggestions b4 I go back ranting would be appreciated. :(

Had what I believe to be PTU Failure symtons the other day. Went to remove PTU and its connector pins broke inside the connector (the larger connector with 7 pins). Got a new connector and harness and rewired it back together and connected another PTU. But now it only running on 5 cylinders. Cylinder 1 is the culprit. So far : a) Changed PTU (Unless this is the problem..it was fine on other car b4 removed) b) Changed Coilpack c) Changed Spark Plug d) Getting 12v with ignition on from coilpack connector But Im still not getting a spark ! (Coilpack and Plug removed and engine turned over to test for spark) :rant: :headvswal: :rant: :headvswal…

Wondered if anyone can help When I accelerate shall we say a bit harder than usual the revs climb upwards (after 300rpm) yet the road acceleration doesn't match it. It's as if the tyres at the front are losing traction. Could this be it or could it be something else - any advice will be greatly appreciated

Any help/advice would be appreciated! I have a friend who is buying the new Honda Civic from a Honda dealer. They have paid a £500 deposit and the car was supposed to be delivered and registered in January 2006. It turns out that the car was regeistered in 2005 and wont be delivered until next week (2006). So my question is wont that affect the future value of the car and should they be paying full price for a car that was registered last year? Thanks

Right, I know this is NOT going to be cheap. One of my RAYS wheels is missing a centre cap. The comse in two parts. A cast centre section and a large alloy nut that screws down to keep it secure. See 'rides' for a better idea. Now, I have tried loads of different places to get hold of one, specialist companies that deal with importing jap rims, car importers and zed specialists and it would appear that it's impossible to get these. Rims are out of production now too. So, what I am planning on doing is getting one of my existed centre caps molded and then cast before chroming and then having an alloy centre nut cut for me. Does anyone know a company tha…

Parked Near the college on the Grange estate, never seems to move. Looks good nice and stock. :cool: Anyones on here???

My driveshaft bearings sound like they are approaching the end of their days. Before they reduce themselves to their component parts I would like to replace them. I have promised myself that as parts wear out I will replace stock with performance parts and have been looking at some one piece drive shafts from http://www.z1motorsports.com/index.php?cPath=1_6_11 Before I order I thought Id ask to see if they are available in the uk as I havent been able to find them, anyone ? They also do a transmision mount upgrade by Nismo.

Red G Plate Zed in llanelli monday evening ???

Can anyone recommend anywhere to work on my Z in Essex, near Colchester? I'm new to the area, and I'd prefer a tip from any native Essex men. Cheers, Chris

Hi there, not sure if I have a problem or not. From cold, I always let the engine warm up before I boot it. The first 10 minutes or so after the engine's warmed up if the boost kicks in theres a small haze of greyish smoke in the exhaust gases... once i've been driving for over 10 mins or so & its done this a couple of times it stops. I assume a litle oil is leaking past oil seals overnight & gets burnt off in this initial smoking, which doesnt then happen again til its been stood. Or is there something worse going on? For information, the oil is semi-synthetic with grade exactly as reccomended in the handbook. Any ideas would be great thanks... :duffer:

I have done a search for this but have not found anything so here we are asking questions again! The autobox on my Z is slowly dying. I know this and have accepted the fact. At the moment I can drive around the problem but obviously need to get it sorted. I have found a few places offering boxes but due to past experience I would like to make sure they are the correct unit. To do this the part number and any other details would be greatly appreciated. I have a 1990 Twin and it has the little buttons on the dash for power and hold if that makes any difference. Thanks all!
