I've got a bit of an issue with speed bumps, due mainly to the bottom part of my front spoiler with has a 1" deep 'scrape plate' (can't see it in the picture). I could get around this by removing the section. What do you think?

How do I know if i break it, and will it strand me on the side of the road? Just wondering , cos loads of cars seem to get them replaced, Why?

...have bright lights in them directly behind the orange bulbs. When indicating they light up the side of the road (at night). Is this going to be an issue at MOT time? ...my 90 didn't have these... Thanks in advance. Jack

Hi there,i've just noticed that the door rubber on my passengers door is split,its split at the end at the top of the door post where the window slides up and down but it seems its the whole rubber you need to get that goes all the way round the bottom of the door to the door hinge. I have managed to source one from a 1990 H reg and was wondering if it will fit my 94 model? Any help would be great....Thanks

hi all , i have recently acquired a Z, i know took me long enough !, but i am looking for a decent garage to spend all my money on upgrades and such. i live in Hull east yorkshire but most places i see advertised are quite a drive from me, any recommends would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance :hyper:

Weeelll... the car failed the MOT, which isn't great, but I'm not entirely surprised because the front suspension is squeaking a lot. Turns out the bushes on the n/s front tie-rod are on the way out, so getting that replaced. No biggy. Only other problem is the rear fog light, which is kind of annoying. Apparently it's an LED bulb (too directed), isn't bright enough etc, so they have to try to get a bulb that will work better. It's a J-spec so of course the fog-light was added when it was brought into the UK. The other thing that appears to need sorting is the prop-shaft (although perversely, I don't think that's an MOT fail). Not sure whether it's just the bear…

Hi guys, Just had a new alternator fitted on 92 import the car started fine when it left the garage then I droke it 30 miles no trouble. But when I went to start it after 4 hours there was a flat battery. Any suggestions????? Thanks

I'm having real problems with my immobiliser. A month ago the car wouldnt start, dead on key. I went to start her up and the electrics all went out. Turned out to be the immobiliser had died. Got her running again and its been fine for a month, but now the problem has happened again. Getting the car recovered is a real pain. So, does anybody know a garage with a lot of electrics experience in the hertfordshire area? I'de like to take it to somewhere that can gut the alarm and immobiliser and fix it (it's been shoddily installed it seems) All these problems are really making me think about getting rid of the car. Thanks for any help.

hey guys anyone know of a garage where i can get consult done in kent my car is running a bit lumpy and eratic on idle ithink it might be the ptu but want to make sure it is before i buy one . also my car keeps smoking usually only when you first start it and only from one exhaust the left exhaust, i had new downpipes put on the car by blueflame but i told them to keep the cats(to keep the turbos alive), i was recently told by someone that the car was de-cated and this was causing the turbos to smoke, so i phoned blueflame and they said the cats had been kept on ,they said they are two boxes with leads coming out of them but someone else told me the downpies consited…

OK I cant edit mine still. what am I doing wrong. It was in the UserCP

...the underneath of an NA engine? I've got a water leak (well, possibly a few) and it looks like it's right in the middle, at the bottom of the engine. It's far too cold, and I'm far too lazy to jack the thing up and get under it with a torch!! :smw: So I thought I'd see if anyone has a photo to see if it gives me any clues. Unless anyone has any ideas? It's a small 'jet' of water that seems to come out just after I've switched off, and keeps going till the pressure's off (I guess). Cheerz.

Over the past month she has started to run rough and hunt up and down the revs... not a lot.. but enough for it to worry me as she used to run so well, and at the back end she doesn't sound like she's running right. Does she just need a tune up? or is something going? all gauges are fine and the oil was changed quite recently. I had a look under her last week and there are 2 cables that go into the exhaust that are broken, its quite a way back, think its after the first silencer (not cat) will this be my problem and what are they?

Just wondering if anyone of you guys has bought one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1990-1996-NISSAN-300ZX-ALUMINUM-DASHBOARD-DASH-KIT_W0QQitemZ8012475411QQcategoryZ72213QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem if so, whats it like to fit and how does it look once fitted????? Cheers Adz
