Tried to burn a cd rom on my PC tonight but it says there's no disc in the drive even when there is!!! It won't even read original discs now and can't understand what the problem is.. All the drivers are present and correct and when you click on the CDRW icon in My Computer it open the windows for it but it won't recognise any discs!!! Is there a setting I could alter anywhere or is it new CDRW time!!!??? Had the same problem a month ago but it curred itself!!! Thanks guys, Jon

Was driving along this afternoon in the Z'ed after filling up with petrol and all of a sudden the temp guage went from it's normal sitting at half way position to rising near the top of the H on the internal gauge!!! :mad: Soon as I saw this I imeadietly pulled over and waited for things to cool down, thinking I had a water leak somewhere.. Wasn't kaning the car it was just under normal driving so I called my mate out who kindly came along with some water to fill the rad up just incase I had a leak... On opening the rad cap I found that it only needed a little water just to top it up so couldn't really understand why the temp gauge should suddenly rise like …

Hi! Well don't know how it got through it's last MOT without one but am in the process of fitting a rear for light/switch to my 300. Seems to be going ok so far but just working out where the switch can go, it's a small rocker type with an led. Have had a search and seems as long as it's visible it's ok, so was thinking how about in the ashtray, that way I can just pop it open and flick on/off, any ideas? Cheers!

Hi All, I hope you can help. My car has been off the road for a few months, this weekend I decided to get it sorted and back on the road. I took it out for a blat last night and everything was fine, (still suprises me how quick a Zed is, ;)), but this morning it's decided that it only wants to run on 5! I have plugged in the ConZult and discovered that it's No.5 that's at fault, I've swapped the coil pak, cleaned the connectors and swapped spark plugs but to no avail. :( The monitoring page on the ConZult has the LH Lambda running at twice the voltage of the RHS. I haven't carried out a compression test yet, as I haven't got much more time to…

Hi guys i have a gurgling noise behind the dash allyhough ive done nothing to the cooling system. Any ideas? :confused:

O.K. This is what I've done :- Replaced timing belt and all auxilliary belts. Timing belt fitted fine, all timing marks aligned, Cam sensor replaced on original position, but engine will not fire, where have I gone wrong ? E.C.U. reset and Diagnostic check carried out, 5 long,5 short flashes, indicates no problen with that. What else can I check/adjust ?

Anyone know the diff between NGK PFR6B-11C and NGK PFR68-11B ? given that i assumed the 6 was the temp rating ? are the B''s cheaper or summit ? I would have thougt they were same price. thanks smithy

Hi, I am new on this site. I just wanted to know if anybody knows of any exhaust that sounds like the on this web page. I am talking about the Greddy SP exhaust for the Twin Turbo model. I am looking for the rumble sound that it gives. I would really appreciate it if somebody could help me out. I just want a exhaust that sounds like the one on the web page. Thank you http://www.300zx.ca/exhaust.htm

Ok so the knocking noise on the back of my car seems to be getting louder. It's a dull noise and seems to be directly related to the smoothness of the road (or lack of) and speed makes no difference. This makes me think one of the shocks as gone (and the noise comes from around the rear wheel). The bad news is I have adjustable tein suspension. So 2 questions, 1. Is it likely to be a shocker? 2. If it is, can I run tein at the front and something else at the rear or should I keep it the same? Where supplies tein suspension? ta.

hi guys i need z worlds number asap if any one can help

Hi please help..... Where is the best place to mount an oil pressure sensor and oil temp? :headvswal Thanks

I'm a bit confused!!!! As most of you know I've installed new dump valves last week and have compleatly taken off the recirc ones and bunged up the original rubber pipe using 28mm adn 32 mm bungs on the pipes where the recircs came off. My question is the vaccume pipe that was attached to the top of the recirc valves, is it connected to any kind of inlet pipe down there causing a possible air leak as my Z'ed as she feels slightly down on power after putting the dump valves in... It looks like the original vac pipe just connects to a small metal pipe that runs along side the big air intake pipe then as you look at the top of the engine inlets comes from a small metal…

Hi, I am new on this web page. I just wanted to know about the Greddy SP exhaust. I heard the exhaust on the 300ZX TT and I loved the rumble sound that it gave. Its exactly the sound I was looking for. I am planning to purchase a Greddy SP exhaust in a couple of weeks and I just wanted to know if the Greddy SP Style exhaust sounds the same as the Greddy SP exhaust. I know the SP Style exhaust is a univeral. That's what worries me. Can someone please let me know if the SP exhaust sounds the same as the SP Style exhaust. Thank you

dont know number plates,just was last night on way home on m1 south bound, i had a little play with ya, anyone we know???

hi guys just to let anyone from the south west know that if they need to get their air con recharged I know a garage that did mine for less than £60. http://www.phautos.co.uk its located in Taunton, very friendly people and they have worked on Zeds b4. :hyper: :bow:

Red 300zx (z32)only saw rear of it had twin ferrari style back lights and a high level spoiler sounded like it was a manual had a nice deep sound to it.Was about 4pm ish and it was heading towards blackpool from cleveleys town centre.

Those who have fitted the HID kit Did you all mount the ballast boxes in the front air filter compartment ?? If not where ...only I have a stock air filter ATM with not much room for ballasts and was wondering about the best options !!

Presumably you were heading towards the M3, I was parked down a side road off the Ancells perimeter road.

Saw you at a roundabout- you were heading east along Worting road. 99 rear spoiler and 99 rear lights. :cool: I was in my black Zed, didn't flash as there was too much traffic in the way...

Before i do summit stupid can anyone tell me how to change the face of my speedo,presently reads in kmh but fitting a mph face.

red zed traveling southbound on a1/m1 i was in traffic on other side of carridgeway!!!about 14:30 ish?

Is there any easy way of getting the old battery clamp off? It is solid on there and the only way I see is using a hacksaw...it kind of looks like if I did that there would not be enough strap left to properly reach the terminal... Also...do I need a cricket bat type soldering iron or do small ones heat up enough to put the terminal back on??? Normally would get someone to do this but I fancy a go myself... Cheers

Spotted a white m-reg z on the a40 around witney area yesterday @ 4.30pm'ish.
