Hi Guys......audio isn't really my thing but I 've a problem and it's driving me nuts....... I had, in the car a sony head unit, all channels feeding out on rca jacks to an amp in the boot.....then to the speakers :hyper: this worked brilliantly no noise and good sound reproduction. The wife has bought me a new head unit for christmas......usb in, cd player and memory card etc.....seems a good piece of kit TBH.....but no rca outputs, so went to local car audio shop and got some pre amp rca converters as advised by them, installed into the car and followed all directions to the letter. when the engine is running every dog in town can hear my motor cause I've now got a ver…

hi!! :D saw you coming the opposite way at the traffic lights by blockbuster. i was in my silver TT and my dad was in front in his silver NA. your car looks lovely in black mate!! :bow:

I have Kakimoto exhausts one each side they have few holes in them and the insides (bafils?) are totalled looks like a birds nest inside. Would i be loosing much power from this and make the car run abit rough? When i get these replaced is it worth getting x pipes aswell as i've heard they are good on non turbo cars but on a turbo not worth it. Just need some more info on this really.

i'm having some new turbos fitted towards the end of the month, is it worth getting my original ones reconditioned to sell? how much are they worth? they will have all paper work to say tested and recons.

Hi Guyz Back end of my Z has been wobbling around for some time now and there is a little play in the back wheels (was mentioned at last MOT). So Ive decided that i am going to do some work to stiffen her up abit. Here's what I have got planned so far: * Remove HICAS (because I want to, end of story :nelson: ) * Replace all shocks & springs (KYB's uprated non-adj & Eibach Springs) What else could be causing the wobble that i can replace bearing in mind everything is stock at the mo?

Hi Guys, For a while now the horn has been working on and off, but today was going down the road and it came on by itself and was on continously! I pulled the relay out and left her in the pub car park....when i came out the drivers side main beam was on, but only on on that side! I got home and turned the engine off and the drivers side main beam was flickering on and off and i could hear the relay in the fuse box tapping away. I decided to put the horn relay back in and now when i beep the horn the drivers side main beam flashes as well!! Anyone had this? Also my windscreen washers dont work either, so im wondering whether i need to replace some of t…

As above. I have fitted a Top hose hard pipe kit the other day and it wouldn't work. I wouldn't give a reading. So today i thoght to have a look and wonderd if it was an earthing problem. So i decided to take a wire from the pipe to body. This then gave me a reading. I thought great, thats the problem. :hyper: . So i fitted an earth to the sender. This then sent my reading to show full temp constantly(going straight to earth). Has anyone else had this problem. I have solved it at the moment by attaching my wire to body and having a crimp connection on the other,tucked in under the silicone piping :headvswal. Any ideas lads LOL ;)

At about 1pm near Sainsburys, saw you pull into layby. K300***, grey Z.

After searching the internet I am getting conflicting answers so I am asking those in the know.

I'm hoping someone else out there has seen this and can point me quickly to a solution. I've searched all the prior posts and havent seen anything that occurs NOT right away. The story: So I'm driving along happy and the HICAS light comes on. No problem, top off the pwr steering, right! Shortly thereafter the ANTILOCK light comes on and I lose power steering, hmmm, this is a new one. Well, I'm running so I'll get it checked out tomorrow. Go to start the car up the next day and it almost doesn't. Like it's turning over but no fuel. Finally starts rough. Shop says my battery is dead ( been 3 years & not used often) and my alternator is gone. Eh, ok,…

how hard is it to replace the bulbs in these and what bulbs do i need to get as lights gone out tonight :headvswal

guys just did a ecu check got code 22 but its not listed plz help because zed wont start cheerz.

hi about 1840 a white 300zx was going down regent street, was it you?

My zed pops a lot from the exhausts when you accellerate and come off throttle, obviously more so the harder you accellerate / the further up the rev range you go. For example, if you accellerate briskly in third gear up to around 5,000rpm and come off throttle, as the revs come down you generally get 4 or 5 pops from the exhausts. Id say its more prominent now the weather is colder. Personally I was quite happy with it as I was (still am I think) of the opinion that this was fairly normal for a car of this nature and with the spec that it has. But today I took my brother, a NA owner for three years, out for a drive today and he thinks that it shouldnt be doing it as much…

Hi, can anyone confirm that aftermarket zed alloys will fit a 200sx s13/s14, PCD 5+114.3 OFFSET +35/42MM CENTRE BORE 66MM/66.1, are these dimensions for all wheels for zed even if they are aftermarket ?? also does anyone know roughly courier costs for 4 wheels+tyres, happy new year everyone cheerz.

I want to move the side light from the fog light to the secondary sections in the indicators. Now iirc, the US spec cars have them in this section too. Looking at the backing, there's recess plates already there. Is it litterally a job of just drilling this and the side light bulb holders slot in as per the fog lights or is there more work?

Well its great to be back in the UK and Zeding again, however I knew I had to do the Matrix whilst i'm back as when I left in the summer the interior was getting flooded with coolant. Just got the matrix out, only took 2.5 hours, far quicker than the last time when i removed the dash! Anway just done a pressure test and its not the Matrix but the valve on the side thats gone. As I bought my matrix in the states the shaft on the valve is round the wrong way. Has anyone switched the shaft before and had no leaks? Also can you just buy the valve from nissan UK? Thanks Andy

Who sells the jap aftermarket dip beam bulbs which are stronger than the nissan ones? i've got one candle and one brighter candle. :( Cheers, Mick.
