hi, please can anyone help me, i had a toad a1606 cat 1 alarm put on my car at the weekend and the installer had a problem with my auto inhibitor switch. basically he said that the wires from the ecu to the switch had (at some time) been cut/ fiddled with and he has had to by-pass the inhibitor switch for the car to be able to start. obviously this isn't the ideal solution as the car can now start in gear hence will fail its next MOT :( :confused: he said he would re-wire it if he (or me) can find a wiring diagram. i'm not sure if this means the engine ECU, auto box ECU or what. please help!!!! has anyone any idea why the ecu's wires have been played w…

Speaking to a friend the other day who's just bought an FTO and he claims that the 'very rich Japanise owner' told him the car used to run on 105 ron.... Is this correct? I though it was 100.

Hiya can anyone give me the links to any D.I.Y diagnosis available for 300zx TT's

I want to get a new rear bumper for my car, it has a greddy gracer on the front, and I have skirts sorted, so Im now looking for a rear bumper. All the ones I have seen just seem to be extensions onto the existing bumper - Are there any full replacements available? What types have you guys fitted to your cars? Thanks.

parked up on Redland Hill in Bristol on Friday evening, I was flashing my lights at an empty car before I realised!!! Well it was the first time I have passed another Z while in mine :rofl:

What size are the standard turbos on the 300? Also what are they on the 200sx s14? and what is the maximum boost these two types of turbos can run??? Thanks in advance.

I wonder if anyone can help or advise me about a power steering niggle that has recently developed. I have a 91reg Z auto NA, and it's been a dream for the last 3 years, no real problems. Just recently I've noticed the PAS cutting out at low revs or when I start her up, however get her up and going and it soon sorts itself out. It doesn't do it all the time just intermittently over a period of about a month now?? :confused:

does anyone know that the torque settings for the wheel nuts should be? my wrench is in nM calibrations. ta

Passed Shep in his identical black TTzx last month and mentioned the site to me so I joined cheers!

Had a new exhaust fitted at the weekend, and on the way back the speedo was acting very weird, where as it would drop dramatically from say 80mph to 60mph in a flash. It did it a couple of times and I got home fine so didn't thinik anymore of it. Anyway, this morning, started the car up fine, but when I press the clutch pedal down, it makes a noise similiar to a starter motor that gots stuck, but cant be the starter motor as it started fine. I then turned the car off, started up again, depressed the clutch and it didn't make a noise, went through all the gears including reverse, and then depressed once more, and it started again, so I left it as was running lat…

Fitted a strut bar this weekend and since it was put on every time the car is in drive the car shakes and makes a bit of noise, it waaaaay more apparent when the brake is pressed. was wondering ifd this is a result of the bar (not sure how) or summat else?

Anyone on here soldered a chip socket in, and could help by doing mine for me. JWT chip for auto. Cheers in advance. ;)
