I temporarily messed around with mine and the car was quick, but it's back in the middle and drives sh1t slow again. My question is, is there any way to tell if the timing is out apart from the timing gun? e.g engine noise, rough idling. etc. when i moved the cas to the left the car was running sweet, no noise, idling perfect.....and most of all quicker. :confused:

After a run in the z tt I can here something dripping onto a hot surface under the bonnet, water or fuel :confused: I think fuel, sounds like its coming from around the engine oil dip stick area, but I cant see anything, it lasts for about 3 to 4 minutes after switch off, any ideas guys?? Also while im on here, any ideas how those rear spoilers come off?, are they stuck on??

If anyone has this bumper , and you have not needed to modify it, is there any chance when you get time you could measure the distance between the exhaust cutouts? I have ordered it, will take a while to arrive. Just wondering if the bodyshop will have any cutting to do. I don't have a stock exhaust so hoping there won't be too much grief with it. cheers.

Hi guys I bought my first Z three weeks ago, (dream car), it's a '91 TT Jap import, it's now started running quite rough and can be felt wobbling when ticking over (like old Transits do) its not really bad but I would expect a V6 to be totally smooth and it wasn't like it when I first bought it. Any ideas what could be causing it to run like this? Any help much appreciated

Anyone got pics of their HKS Induction Kit, I have just fitted mine and it seems very close to the bar supporting the cooler and the bumper. Cheers John Crisp

Hi guys, the alterenator died in my 300zx import, so I took to a local alternator specialist and it said it will take half a day to get it off, and another half a day to put back together. So it would be around 140 quid. Then when he took it off he realised I need new belts, he is reconditioning the alternator. For this hes charging me 240 quid now. IS this a fair price????

hi can one of you clever bods help, when i push the button for the washer jets for front windscreen my rev counter rises and also occasionally when driving rev counter needle shoots up to 180kmh and straight back down. My zx is a 92 import with a dreaded convertor fitted cheers

Thanks to Chris at southwestz.co.uk, I have an injector to swap with my knackered one. My dilema is that the codes stamped on the top are different. Is there an easy way to tell if they are both TT injectors? I don't want to put it all back together to find I'm running lean on one cylinder and to have to do it all again. Thanks Tim
