Lo guys, where do I access the speedo converter on my jap import swb tt as the speedo is now hardly working and it's not much fun cornering and the pas kicks in or cuts out! I've been told it could also be the speed sensor but hopefully get to the bottom of the prob soon as it's getting annoying. Cheers.

1x bayside blue turning by elton corner service station around 9.30(speedfreak i think) and 1 pearl white convertable with gold wheels in chaxhill service station on a48 10 mins later why do i always spot other z's when i'm in my bmw? was it you?

my handbrake light has started to come on when i go round right hand corners is fine on left hand ones for some reason but i think it might be a bit awkward planning my journeys to just turn left!! anyone have any ideas what might be causing this Darren

so is it really worth changing the single air intake to two? If so, what is required? and what's the best stuff to get? Cheers, Ian

do I need to lower it If I put on 19's? Worried about the ride hight. Or can tyre size sort it?

hey people , im having a right nightmare, my beloved lady is due new pads and diska for the first time since i purchased her from a bad owner. I have spent many months getting her back into shape , and now comes the time to change the disks and pads, unfortunatly ive been told that the early n/a`s had different sized calipers and disks to the turbo model( being the change over year im stuck on what size to buy). So i need help from u guys on the size i need, the chassis code is -GZ32004958 . i believe its a ninety but im probaby wrong. anyway . . . your help would stop me going bald too early and any ideas on size and place to purchase them would be g…

nice looking Z'd, i see you have removed your boot spoiler - looks spot on!

will a stainless steel de-cat pipe set match the down pipes on my car already? I think my down pipe is blowing on the drivers side so i only want to replace that and not the cat.

Keep seeing on the way to work (8:00 am) Havent seen the reg, side view only, nice car!

Ok - I've got my zed back from Z-tech (well.. bar a small issue that Ryan's on the ball with) and I want to clean the beast up. I've already sorted out most of the interior, fitted the ice, sorted the suspension issue, got rid of the nasty camber angle and got a respray lined up... now what I want to do is clean up the engine bay (it's a mess under there...) I've done the basics - gunk spray and warm water around the body work etc to get rid of oil and other scum (Ryan, did this before I got the car back. I've left it completely as is incase the oil marks will give any clue..). I'm going to be ordering a stainless slam panel and light covers from smith…

hey guys can you please help ???? i fitted a stereo in my car today, now when i turn the lights on only the full beam comes on and as soon as you turn the lights on , the sidelights and main beem dont work also the rear lights dont work and the lights around the speedo dont work but all the other electrics do is this a fuse ??? if so where is the fuse box ?? i checked under the bonnet and i can only find a few fuses but mostly relays any ideas ????????? jim zx

whats that beeping i can hear everytime im in reverse, sounds like a truck reversing. Its a bit embarasing cause everyone looks. Can it be silenced?

Hi there,can anyone help? When i went to start the Zed earlier i noticed once i had drove off that the ABS light was on and a buzzing noise from the rear(fuel pump sound)When i turn the car off the the buzzing sound can still be heard from the rear?Sounds similar to the fuel pump when the key is turned but the fuel pump sounds ok as it runs for a few seconds when the ignition is on then goes off as the car is ready to be started. Anybody had the same problem,any advice would be great..thanks in advance

Had 300zx TT now for few months and thinking of taking it somewhere to get it tuned, only place near me ive heard of is 'the garage' in Wishaw, does anyone know of any other good places to go near Glasgow area?

Ok, I have come to the end of my rope and don't know what else to try? The Main beam on my headlights doesn't work even though the blue light on the dash lights up to say that they are on :smash: I have checked the relay, fuses, bulbs, wiring and they still DON'T work, now I am at a loss????? Anybody have any suggestions :cry:

Hi, exactly what is needed to have a correctly working Hicas when you fit an aftermarket steering wheel. I understand you need a special boss? Cheers.

I'm currently trying to drop in my new (re: slightly old) engine, only trouble is I get the Autobox and engine lined up but they won't go the last quarter/half an inch and when I try to tighten the bolts it just starts to bend the flywheel. The Autobox shaft and the Torque converter are lined up fine and they bolt to the flywheel ok, and I'm using my original flywheel so its not a auto/manual flywheel mismatch. The only thing I can think of is that I've somehow put the flywheel on back to front, but I'm pretty sure I took extra care to put it on the right way round (I'm not so sure now). Does anyone have any pictures of an auto flywheel attached to an engine …

Does anyone know what problems this warning is aware of. The yellow plain dash warning light flashes several times on start up and from the owners handbook this means there is a problem with the A/T. I assume there could be several reasons for a warning but does anyone know what they are?

Hello again, As some of you may know, my autobox died on me a couple of months ago, and my zed has been standing ever since. Got new autobox and conveter fitted and low and behold loads of smoke from driver side exhaust. Now she is only running on five cylinders so am sorting that out. But could the smoke be because of a jammed turbo, is it possible that the smoke could be from this and if so how do you free it off. :smash: Thanks in advance!

Listers, I believe this is no longer available to buy from HKS but can anyone shed any light on what you got for your $1,500????? Chris C

I noticed what i think is my exhaust blowing from near the front, it seems to come from the area in-line with the door hinge - drivers side or possibly further forward. It's not that bad at the moment. I've had a quick look but I honestly have no idea what i'm looking for/at. The rest of the system looks pretty old and rusty so i'm preparing myself for the worst. Can anyone tell me whats in this area of the system e.g. where downpipe joins system/cat?, what might be buggered and any recommendations on a system/prices to expect and suppliers. Thanks

You've probably had this post before but i can't find what i'm after in the search. My handbrake is high, the adjustment by the handbrake lever is at its max, so is there any other adjustments i can make? or are my shoes worn? Thanks lads!

Hi The Zeds use t25 turbos from what I can gather, these units spool up v fast but generate lots of heat, ( found this out on a 620ti as they use t25's ) can anyone tell me what the intake temps are after the I/C's , and can the T28 be fitted from the 200sx as this was a straight swap on the Ti. Many thanks Kev

Heading toward Birkenhead Tuesday p.m.

As you probably know money situation has been pretty bad so my shorty had to go a week & 1/2 ago (Sad Time).So now I've got some 17" ,3 piece split rims (5 SPOKE) that I'm thinking of selling.The tyres are not legal. 9j rear & 8j front.Was going to get them refurbed as kirbz had his done very reasonably & recommended the bloke to me.If refurbed they'd be cracking wheels.I know when they were new they'd of cost a lot of money.Just wondered if anyone could give me a ball park figure what they should be worth as they are?Got some photos but couldn't put them on (too big ,tried to reduce, no joy).But if anyone can help with my question PM your e-mail address and …
