I've been trying to replace the aircon rad/condensor. The rad/condensor has been changed at somepoint but the idiot who did it cross-threaded the connector on the lower right (as you look at the car) so i couldn't connect the new one. I scratched my head for a while then came up with the crazy idea of cutting off each connector and bridging the gap with a rubber pipe. I'm not convinced this will work because of the pressure involved. The only other option i have is to replace the entire pipe that runs back to the compressor near the battery i think, but i cant see where it goes because there's pipes everywhere above. I've found the online parts manual which shows the…

Ive been reading all the threads people have posted about driving vibrations. from what ive read, I seem to be suffering from a dodgy prop shaft bearing. At about 30-50 mph the vibration is really bad especially when cold. It does seem to be coming from directly beneath me as my seat vibrates like crazy (shame im not a lass). If I stop then set off again it sometimes eases it and after a while presumably when it warms up it seems to almost go away. Is a prop bearing the most likely cause?

Any ideas how to reset the ECU? My car is running rich and apparently this might help Z Man

Owt else I can check - Duffer looked at car and couldnt work it out. Both my front wheels (drivers side more than passenger) is too far forward and on turning wheels is rubbing on inner plastic guard. only got 17" modena's on with low profile tyres, it was still too far forward with std wheels anyway. Ive had both the lower control arms replaced as these were cracked but they are still too far forward. As duffer and JeffTT both looked at car a while ago and its foxed them, Im just wondering what else. Car hasnt been in an accident - no buckling anywhere, all obvious signs checked for. I think JD suggested front adjustable rose jointed arms - cant …

MY heater is not blowing anymore. I fixed the ballast behind the glovebox a while ago and its gone again. Is there a fuse I can check anywhere before I rip the ballast out and order a replacement? Anywhere else to check? Cheers

Hi Guys, As a new member, I must apologise in advance for asking a question, no doubt asked a dozen times before but, having just aquired a 300ZX swb 1990-91 model, can anyone direct me to where I might find a copy of the original drivers instruction booklet. This is not the service guide I'm after but the document normally kept with the car which basically explains all the controls etc. Any help would be much appreciated.

I am badly in need of some new discs on the front. I am having real problems deciding which route to take though and am on a tight budget. I can get a really good deal on some aftermarket stock discs which work out at £92 the pair including a 3 year warranty against warping etc. See link below.... http://www.speedways.co.uk/shop/index.html From the same company I can get them drilled and grooved for another £70 so totalling £162. I am sure once before someone posted that discs make no difference at all (drilled and grooved or not) unless they are bigger than stock. Anyone know if this is true? In which case I guess drilling and grooving is …
