im going to start to fit a new sill tomorrow and was wondering if just dissconecting the battery is enough or should i dissconect ecu if ecu aswell how do i do it

I have found that the trip to the Nurburgring has not left the car undamaged. The rear steering arms have got lots of play in them at the wheel end. Can someone describe to me the way the joint works as when I had a look this afternoon I became confused. The joint seems to pivot up and down, which seems reasonable to accomodate the suspension movement, but I cannot work out how the rubbers are all going to fit together - is it some kind of rose jointed affair? I have got side to side play in the wheels at this joint on both sides and I need to work out what I need to fix the problem. The car is undriveable in the wet and not that great in the dry and I am worri…

just give me car a good caining and when i got to 6000 rpm the car just dies like it is hitting the limiter i know my tps is knackered or out of adjustment was wondering if this was causing the prob or is it something else

Just like to give a big thanks to Andy P. and also Samurai Performance in Braintree for finally getting to the bottom of my missfiring problem. Turned out to be two duff coil packs! One was breaking down when the engine got warm. This one was spotted by Samurai and was the worst culprit. Car ran much better but still missed at higher RPM. A morning with Andy and a lot of patience and we found a second dodgy coil! Very unusual. Thanks again to both parties and anyone else on the forum who answered my queries.

After having a new clutch fitted - somebody had not put the cable back in correctly near the gearbox. As i found out by picking up half a ripped wire that had been dragging on the ground. Now, I have no reversing lights - Any idea what I need to wire to where? I think they come on for half a second as you select reverse but then immediately go off. Cheers

help !!!! right ive had a bad weekend so fr, first of all my carlton decided to remove its own powersteering belt and in the prcess remove the fan belt and wreck the fan so that on car down. then my zx had an electrical short which i think has tken out the brake light fuse. I desperatly need a yellow fuse from under the bonnet ever to buy or borrow for a week as i cant get to nissan till next weekend. can anybody help

Right found the problem with the rear lights but now brake lights dont light up, anybody know where the fuse for these is?

Guys, anyone have a rough idea of what a new windscreen costs? Dan.

Received my illuminated kick plates today (thanks Paul and Vijay) but because my car is a slicktop im not sure how to wire it up. I dont think i can thread the wires to the interior light, is there anywhere else i can connect it up? Im not good with electronics so will need an idiots guide to fit it :slap: Yas

I just can't seem to get it below £1100:cry: I'm 25, 4yr NCB, licence held 5yr+, N/A, import, 1990, auto.

just thought i would post up some pics of my attempt to retrim the interior. its not perfect, theres a couple of ripples etc, but for £20.00 plus some glue i think its a good cheap mod! biggest prob i had was with the evo stik glue. i used what was mentioned by others who had done this, but for some reason it melted/reacted with the original glue and thus gave me some hassle. but apart from that it went ok :D (pics are from my mobile so i apologise for the quality)

Can anybody recommend a good outdoor car cover to fit a SWB Z32. It's my birthday and I thought I might blag one from the MRS! I've had cheep ones for other vehicles in the past and they do more damage than good. I don't want my rear spoiler getting ruined etc...

Please help! My SWB '91' Z32 (85K km) autobox has lost 3rd and overdrive. It drives perfectly otherwise on the first two gears. It happened yesterday when I must admit I did open her up! Having had to slow, due to traffic from around 150 to 85-90, I then flicked out of overdrive to help the braking, on reacceleration there was an audible 'pop' and then no drive?? I coasted back to work and have carried out the diagnostic check, which revealed no faults. There is no fluid loss and the fluid appears to be clean. Any ideas?? Please tell me its not costly!

Does the Grounding Kit really work as stated on http://www.groundingkits.co.uk/? I mean, how could you by giving the car better grounding get more horsepower? I could think that indirectly it could maybe increase that a very little bit by giving more stable power supply. How big effect does these have on the 300zx TT? Don’t think of me as a fool if this is obvious, I’m just curious and I’ve never heard of these before :)

Went to go out in my car switched the lights on and the fuse blew. replaced the fuse and investigated, noticed i had no back lights. the live wire to the drivers side light was also getting very hot. i disconnected this and the passenger rear lights then came on. i guess there is a short somehwere. any idea's
