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…

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 …

It didn't cut out or anything and I managed to crawl back home as it only happened 1/2 a mile away!! Does anyone fancy helping me sort this? I'm hoping its just a burst pipe or something - Whats the worst it could be? Cheers for any help in advance :smw:

hi all i changed my maf with a good working one yesterday, all seemed ok pulling strong no hesitation and only a little back fire when backing off the throttle drove home from work today and it seemed to be jumping all over the place (like a missfire) and getting loud cliking noise from down beside the accelorator pedal, but no hesitation when pulling away (which is good) also when engine cold if i touch the throttle while clutch is pressed in (or in neutrall) the revs drop a couple of hundred revs before slowly creeping back up (it also sounds very inductiony like its sucking more air than it should be) the missfire usually starts around 2000 rpm upto abou…

hi guys wondered if you could help with a vibration comming from my 300zx na.It comes in at around 60 and its a vibration that seems to come thru the seat ,theres no shake on the wheel,and it doesnt fell like rear wheels need balancing,thought it could be the prop bearing as the car has done 52000 so had that replaced by samurai in essex,but its still there, any ideas would be much appriciated.cheers Yani.

Anyone heard/got one of these ? Any good ? Any thoughts ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/JWR-STAINLESS-EXHAUST-SYSTEM-NISSAN-300ZX_W0QQitemZ8005265004QQcategoryZ38786QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Cheerz Paul

Guys, I recently imported a 90-91 Jap swb TT automatic. The car is mechanically sound but the rear window seems to have some sort of acetate or acrylic film or finish to the interior which makes it extremely difficult to see through even when the heated rear window demister has been activated. Have I got some one-off model or is this standared? Any ideas how I can improve things please........ Cheers Tom

basically my 300zx tt manual import arrives on the 19th of november, and i want to get the parts now so im ready to build the beast when it gets here. what are the next performance mods i should consider? ive got the following already: kakimoto exhaust twin dumpvalves blitz boost adjuster and turbo gauge turbo timer the aim is to keep it off the road and tune it up to 450/500bhp what would i need to do this?

it was the other night, i was in the blue one. i flashed a few times but u never took me on.

have been looking at this on e-bay.... what do you guys and gals think? it looks good, but will it give any better performance! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=8004722099&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT the auction has ended but the bloke says he has more.. went for quite a good price

Guys The missus needs some aftermarket discs and pads for her MR2. Any ideas where I can get some? :confused: Cheers Mark.

Just started to notice my windscreen lifts sort of up and out (at the bottom in the middle) :headvswal when I shut the car doors. If I push the lower part of the windscreen I can push it out far enough for my wipers to move???!!??! Only thing I done recently was removed the black plastic below the wipers for spraying and tidying up. When I went to refit these, a few of the poppers snapped (Im going to order some more from Nissan - probably at silly money!!). Surely the bottom of the windscreen is NOT held in by a few poppers that press the plastic trim onto the screen??? Is there something else thats wrong? *EDIT* Whilst Im on the subject is there an eas…

Yay, new car and a new challenge! I got my first squeaking noise coming from the engine bay. It only happens when the clutch is lifted (either through load or sitting idle), if its pushed to the floor no noise. Seems to get faster and louder through the rev range. I popped the bonnet and had a look to see if I could trace the noise and its coming from the upper left of the engine bay (if you standing infront of the car) Any ideas or am I doomed before I start! :confused: Thanks

Has anyone ever bought one? If so would you happen to have the Nissan part number because its apparently a genuine part. they appear on eBay every now and then but get snapped up straight away and go for silly money. When they first started to appear they were like buy-it-now for about £25, which makes me think they will be cheap from Nissan :dance: Thanks ;)
