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…

I'm new on here so suppose first thing to say is Hello everyone! I'm thinking of buying a 300ZX twin turbo towards the middle of nxt year when i've got another years no claims. I was just wondering if theres anything to look out for in particular when buying them and i kno its all about how it been drven in the past but if theres a certain mileage things start to go wrong etc. Any advice will be much appreciated. John Boy.

Anyone know if you can get repair kits for hks coil overs,one of mines poped its seals. Didnt want to replace the shock as they are expensive.

Hi folks My car has stopped firing. The PTU was replaced so I have narrowed it down to either the fuel pump or fp relay which may be busted. A replacement pump is on its way to me but I thought that perhaps it could be the fp relay. How do you test the relay? Would bypassing the relay be ok? I shall do an ECU test but sure it'll give code 55. Also I shall clean the temp sensor connector and others properly. Thanks in advance Van

Where is the dim dip relay situated on the Zed? I am having problems with my drivers side headlight fuse blowing, when it blows the drivers side headlight goes out and the main beam comes on dim, checked wiring, swapped the two relays under the bonnet over for the headlights, that makes no difference so I want to look at the third relay just not sure where it is.

Hey guys Anyone got the slightest idea on what the recommended oil is? I got the viscosity but no manufacturers. Please help Don't want it to blow up! Next thing, where do i get my oil filter from? Can i get it from nissan? Thanx guys Rich

when I had the tracking checked this morning, I had a look under the car. There is some oil weep and stain at the back of the engine where the oil filter is, I couldn't determine where the oil was coming from. It doesn't (hopefully) seem too serious as no drips fell and my driveway is oil free. Anyone know where it may be leaking from and if it's potentially disastrous. cheers for any info.

Lol, thought i'd follow up on jims thread with another worry of mine but been scared to ask. Last few months getting a whistling sound (seems to be coming from around the passenger side dash. so it's turbo whistling ,so what, but are they on the way out? I've heard the exact same noise on a different z I almost bought last year and it put me off buying it. I always remember reading a review in topgear magazine in 1998 (when I was dreaming of owning a zed) called Cheap speed :rolleyes: (I know, even back then), and that guy quentin or whatever his name is said avoid whistling turbo's on a 300zx

Overtook me a few times, I wasn't in my zed. Turned off into Sedgemoor servces on the M5 southbound. Anyone's was it? Was around 5pm

On idle, engine very very smooth, but you can faintly hear a cricket type noise. Is this idler or water pump...or something else?
