hi guys can anyone give me a rough price/level of work that would be needed for the following problems... 1. diff oilcooler pipes weeping 2. gearbox tail oilseal weeping 3. replacing auxillary belts thanks :) Lee

Fitted the new clutch pedal today and it sits about an inch higher than the brake pedal!!-I don't mean ''in/out'' fashion but like the pedal is too short-just wondered if this is normal?? TA! :D

What are the largest turbos available for 300 ZX, and what can you get of BHP?

Is there anyone who is around tomorrow that wouldn't mind letting me borrow their MAF for a short time to see if that is the cause of my Zed breaking down? Would be able to remove and re-fit wherever you are based - anyone that could help please pm me or e-mail me at alexcuthell@hotmail.com. Would need to be Sunday afternoon and would have it back by the evening. Cheers all. Alex

Hey guys, Right, i dunno if i'm gonna be able to recore my matrix so i need to know if any of you guys have a new one floating about? Anyone who has and isn't gonna charge daft nissan prices PLEASE get in touch!! Thanx Rich

Guys Me and Spinksy have had a total mare changing the clutch!!! It ended up with the eintire engine coming out due to not beng able to find one gearbox bolt hidden by the side of the starter motor under all the pipes.... ANYWAY, engine is back in, managed sheer a bolt in the air con unit!! GRRR, so thats had to come off and be retapped.....now, I cant figure out the inboard end of the passenger side driveshaft..... The bearings came out as I was trying to put the driveshaft back in, so, I took the driveshaft off the car, cleaned it all up but I when I put it all back together there isnt any movement in the joint?!?!? I have tried loads of different ways…

I have to go very slow over speed bumps due to pipes under my car. Is this normal. I dont know if my car has ben lowered, What should the height be and where do I measure it from. I suspect it has, and the only reason I have for this is I was looking at my power antenna and the rear speakers and the foam that covers the rear shocks has ben cut. Should I be able to see my stainless steel pipes when I look under my car. they seem to hang down a bit low. Thanks guys Konrad

hello, can anyone tell me if the standard size of the turbos are AR 48 ? THANK YOU!

Missus saw you...liked the colour.... ;)

A friend of mine has a top spec W reg Nissan Terrano II. Horrible thing it is. BUT, on closer inspection, the internal door handle assemblies look 100% identical to the ones found in the Zed....well, size wise and shape wise anyway. What's nicer about them is that instead of the handle being faided grey, it's chromed metal. Looks much nicer than the ones in the Zed. Anyone tried doing this?

Well Guys, It happens to us all i guess the z died last night. Been noticing an autobox shifting problem lately that I'd put down to the cold snap and cold oil. As some of you may know I fitted the HKS Automatic Line Shifter some time ago and the z centre auto box oil cooler upgrade recently (5,000miles ago). There has been a noticeable cooling of transmission running temperature since fitting the cooler upgrade on high speed long distance journeys, where the heat that I used to feel through the handbrake boot is much lower. The shifting problem was the box not shifting up at full power with overdrive off until the car was about 5 miles into a journey. May…

Ok, so they are bonded in with black gloup as well as screwed in. Rear panel comes off nice and easily. But how the hell do you prise the rear lights out? Is it a case of hairdryer on the ruddy things for 15 mins or is there a knack?

Someone out there who knows the maximum capacity of the fuel pump 300ZX TT 1992-model? At what BHP-level will I have to install a larger pump? :hyper:

i normally run the Z in summer so don't have much need to use much screen wash, so now i'm running her in winter, i need to now fill up the screen wash (you know where this is going don't you?) and the filler tube is supposed to be on the off-side, under the bonnet, near the head lamp (well according to the user manual) but guess what its not, there's all the hicas stuff, but no filler pipe, help where on earth is it, hunted high and low, no joy. sorry to ask such a noob question, i feel such a mumpet. :confused: cheers

I didnt see it but my mate saw a red zed going through somewhere on the south side. Once he said it was on a W plate i thought of chewie so just wondering CHEWIE??

hi. Does anyone know the differences between these two diagnostic tools? Seems a massive difference in prices. John

Is it possible to fit the t-tops behind both of the seats if I put a sub woofer in the back. And what size are the front and back speakers. Just wanted to know before I purchased the 300zx TT.

Seen a pearl white zed driving around George Square on Thursday at about 6pm. Reg ended mrk if i remember rightly. The white pearl looks really good in the flesh!

H reg Gunmetal Zed in kent house area around 345pm today

I was wondering if anyone has bought one of these and if they are O.K. i have the laptop but they seem to be so cheap any reason why ???? Cheers :D http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BlaZt-ECU-Cable-4-Nissan-300ZX-Sunny-GTI-R-Skyline_W0QQitemZ8016108174QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Has any body had similar problem ? 1993 Jap spec TT running HKS lowered Uprated suspension. The front tyres on my Z were wearing down to the wire they were fine when i bought it 6 months ago approx 1000 miles covered since. Ive replace the fronts now but have been told by one of my work friends who is a technician that the front is ok, he has tracked it, but it requires a full 4 wheel alignment as its the 4wheel stear which has caused them to scrub out ? They went on the inner edge on both fronts. My local tyre guy i use wants £40 for the job and £20 per adjustment :x: Yes £20 per adjustment. :x: i have done a search but did not find anything. Cheer…

hi guys how much am i looking to pay for a glove box as mines is broken cheers
