:confused: hi i have a 300zx tt manual which is standard at the moment. i was thinking of doing some engine modifications, but dont know where to start and what nto start with. something good but with reasonable price. also was wondering whether doing around 52 miles for £20(not booting it) unleaded is normal or not.

Tesco in Colchester are now doing 99 RON for 94p, which in the grand scheme of things aint bad. So I stuck some in and she sounds sweet... Cheers guys

I'm going to have a look at some rims later on, they are 18 x 7in. Not sure if they'd be too narrow as tyre size would be 215 width max IIRC.

Hi - 1st time on the site - shame it's for the wrong reason! I've managed to do some serious damage to my car & am looking for a 300 accident repair specialist in Essex as I want someone who knows what they're doing to fix it. Skidded off the road trying to avoid another car & hit a raised manhole cover on the verge - has snapped the rear wishbones, maybe one of the front ones & I can't be sure yet if there is any frame or axle damage. Any pointers would be much appreciated. Lawrence

I've got the window rattle problem and i've checked the bolts in the door pillar and they're tight. I've even had the doorcards off and checked every screw and nut i could find but everything's tight. What else can it be.? There seems to be play in the top guide, if i grip the top of the glass and move it back and forth sideways i can feel the play then. Is there some kind of washer that goes with the top guide bolt?

Will an auto prop fit a manual?

When I first start the car in the mornings and at most times of the day from cold I get a horrid whining. It sounds like one of those crappy old cars going past howling. It stops after a few minutes but by then the damage is already done. Any ideas?

I am finding the TT a lot different from the NA, to say the least. The TT does seem to have a bit of a hole right at the bottom of the rev range. I don't know if it's the car, the autobox, or just me. In the NA I felt power from zero on up, but with the TT I feel the power beginning as the boost builds up (2,600 or so). I can understand that bit However, with the manual NA, although I was obviously going slower, I felt I was getting my peak power as it revved to just over five thousand, and I felt almost like I never needed to rev it higher. Now, although I am going faster, I think I always need to let the engine rev higher. What I am asking is- how far do you p…

as above... do they make a NuR for the fairlady? single exit pipe i would have thaught...

Finally got round to converting kph to mph using the resistor way. Took out the r10 and replaced with 20k resistor. am not the best solderer going but it seemed ok. put it all back together and went for a test. as soon as i moved off the speedo needle started shooting up quicker than the rev counter!!!! Read 120 mph at approx 25mph true (from gps). then after that went back to zero and refused to move. tried to reposition needle but was still exactly the same. dont know wot went wrong. checked board again, all seems ok......... any ideas??? could i have damaged pcb. (as previously mentioned not the best with soldering). :headvswal :headvswal …
