Trying to install boost gauge, as you can see in pic, clear plastic pipe provided with gauge is much narrower than the other pipes nearby, which i think are the pipes to T into. What should I do???? :confused: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone got a clue what this HICAS is all about? the warning light has just come on... should i worry about it? Z Man

I have had a second hand replacement power steering pump from Z-World fitted. The car judders slightly when on full lock. What could this be ? Also around the time when the power steering pump was running dry & packed up, I noticed a rattling sound on the drivers side when the window is down. Could they be linked ? The car is still doing it ! :smash: :dance:

What are the two small round units mounted on the back of the engine for?They look like they attach to the cams and have a white sheathed cable coming from them going into the wiring loom.

Saw you/it going towards Aylesbury about 21.20 tonight (Monday) Looked nice and low. I was in my white Astra Van pumped my brake lights as you went the other way. BTW It could have been BLACK or DARK BLUE?

Im looking at a 300zx TT tomorrow, jap import. Im just wondering if there are any common problems with the car that i should look out for? Any help/advice would be appretiated. Cheers Steve

I've now got the funds for a respray. I think I want a blue possibly purple or a bit of both. Pearl or flip or whatever. I'm open to suggestions and especially pictures of colours. Help me decide....................please!

Anyone have a link to a COMPLETE engine wiring diagram. All the ones I've seen seem to be in pieces or have sections missing or are unreadable.

The plasic surround has been a bit loose on the NS panel but has been opening OK. This morning the unlock sliding part would not move enough to release the handle. Moved it about for 5 minutes unit I eventually got it to open. Its still open, and off the car, so I wanted to try and fix it before it goes back on. I may not be able to get it off again! Has anyone had this problem and knows how it comes apart, I took the screw out but there seems no obvious way to pull it apart, the locking switch seems to stop it. Thanks

Hi, Just cleaning the car, and found an APEXI AFC under the car mat. It's got a setting dial on the right side -6 to +6, at the mo its on the +3 setting. Would it be best if I set it to 0 or just leave it on +3?

Does anyone have a good picture of the back of a tt engine with everything still bolted in place.

Just fitted a new wiring loom from the states and have got in a muddle with some of the connectors. There are 3 large, 2pin connectors on the new loom at the back of the engine. One is for the detonation sensor. The other two i'm not sure about. Two are grey and one is a square black one the same as the wastegate solenoid connectors. (I don't think this is used) Can someone tell me the wire colours for each connector as i think the may be crossed. Also where does the other grey connector go to? I've looked at the wiring diagrams on this site but found them illegible.

I cant seem to build up any pressure to check for leaks, roughly how long would i need to be stood their pumping air into the car to get enough pressure?

my Zs had this problem for several weeks now but just recently its been getting louder/more often. the harder i put my foot on the throttle, the louder this strange ticking noise becomes - originating from behind the steering column of all places, as far as i can tell. im not sure if its audible from outside the car - maybe it is. i seem to hear it as i drive through a narrow built-up area too. the noise is a 'plastic' ticking, not a metal ticking if you know what i mean - almost sounds like a wrist watch ticking, but about ten times as fast. problem gets worse as the engine warms up. performance has also dropped a lot too :( :( boost seems ok - afterm…

Right as some of you know I am only running 0.5bar of boost...!! And its starting to piss me off :mad: Here goes this is what I have done so far. Have had it on ConZult at Ryans to see if there any sensors are not working eg det sensors all was OK. So now I thinking boost leak or Ryan said weak acctuators .. So I have made a boost leak tester at work today plus I got a resistor to bypass the the det sensor (just in case it not working.). I trid the resistor on the way home and still 0.5bar... :smash: So been out there tonight with a big track bike pump, been pump away for about 10-15mins (neighbours look at me a bit funny. :rolleyes: ) now i ca…

About 5.15pm today at Castlepoint near Bournemouth.

A red red zed spotted parked up by the static engine display at the Woodvale show (Merseyside) on Sunday. Reg ended in LOC. Any takers?

Will be fitting mine soon, but where the hell do you route the pipe (for boost) and cables (for temp & oil pressure) through the bulkhead I cant find a hole anywhere help please cheers Paul

Hi, I need two light fuse relays for my 1991 TT, I need the left and the right relay. When I had the car delivared from the importer the relays were missing. Do you know where I can buy then from today? Regards, Matt
