Hi guys!! Been doin some research on these fans and from the search above and from what ive learnt, you shouldnt be able to hear the fan spin when drivin the only time you seem to be able to hear it is from starting from her from cold you will hear it whirr for about 10 seconds then the fan will go silent again. This happins on my Zed but when she gets warm you can start to hear the vicous fan revving with the engine in a whirring noise, sounds a bit lke a huge hair dryer or a landrover!! And from what ive been told you should never to be able to hear the fan spinnin! Anyway is this a coupling prob or is it the fans clutch? Or are these the same thing? If s…

anyone from here?

Anyway, just called this chap (white one at the bottom of the page, 18's etc). Bloke didn't even know the car I was talking about...then he said I needed to speak to his brother....then he told me the car wasn't even in the country yet!! Sounds dodgy?

Hi Everyone, Where shall I start...OK I see a ad for a 300zx L reg uk spec auto TT in black (Dream car), the seller wanted 3500 for it. WOW im thinking perfect, I phone the seller who tells me that the car is in mint condition and has FSH by Nissan. The seller is based in Exeter and im based in Crawley west sussex about 225 miles away. After specking to the seller on the phone for a week I arrange to get a train over to pick the car up, at this stage its like Christmas for me......I get of the train and meet the guy at the station and I see the nose of the car in the car park (I fell in love with it), took it for a test drive which went all good, I aslo printed y…

Sorry if this has been asked before, did quick search, couldn't find what i wanted and as i'm in a rush thought easier to ask you experts :bow: If i take me Zed in for 60k service at zcentre or wherever how long do they normally take to complete job? as i will miss the beast Cheers in advance Bandit...

Slightly confusing title but this is really for info only. My son has a tuned S13, we have just rebuilt the engine and on Sunday replaced the turbo. It had done about 200 miles on a decent 10w40 with no probs. Fitted the turbo and took the opp to change the oil, but we had no oil, duurhh. It was Sunday eve, so he went to the local gararge and bought some Semi 10w40, Esso. Tappets rattled on tickover. Changed it for Valvoline 15w40, quite as a mouse. Ok, I know the grades are different on the "third" oil, but the first and second were both 10w40. One was quiet, one was noisy. As has been hinted/mentioned on here before, choosing the correct "mak…

Anybody had a go at spraying scratches/scuffs on their bodywork themselves with a sray can, how easy is it ? where did you get the spray paint (nissan/halfrauds) and what is the match like for stock colours ? pointers on how to go about it would be good too cheers peeps Paul

what other cars share the same stud pattern?? do mk 4 supras?

Hey all, going to replace my current ones, as my RHS one is cracked and i'd rather not get it repaired as it won't be as strong as it was when new. So bascailly any of you lot know a few good websites or places i can get them from in the UK? I know one or two places myself but need a variety to choose from. thanks :)

Hi guyz and gals Got me 1st Zed on Monday, and she is lovely, but she didn't come with any instruction about what ALL these buttons do, i.e. the little switch next to gear stick (maybe i should mention its a 1991 j-spec twin turbo, automatic) not the overdrive button, the one done the bottom, ANYWAY!!!! just wondered if there was a page online somewhere that explained all the cruise control functions, climate control etc... etc... because I'm a stupid :xxx: and didn't ask the guy i got it from lol :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: Cheers in advance Bandit...

What are the differences between the j spec wheels and the uk wheels? I tried a search but couldn't find anything. Is it just sizes or do they look different too?

Hi all, i've had some new tyre's fitted to my car and guess what? they seem to have mixed up the wheel's direction wise!! Now i don't know which one's are fitted in the right direction but i have both side's of the car's wheel's pattern's opposite and the tyre's are on the right direction. look's like i may have to take them back and have them refitted but i don't know which one's are incorrect? :( Pic's or written info would be apprieciated !! Remember they are Uk wheel's !! I wonder how many owner's really know that they are directional wheel's :p

Does anyone know where to buy the little clips that attach to various panels (engine cover, wings, bumper etc,). Some have a 6mm threads and some are self tapping screw. Half mine are missing or rusted up. I think their called J-clips and they tap on to an edge with a small hammer.

Hi Guys. Is there any difference between a TT Jap and UK PAS pump?

any idea cost of veilside c2 body kit

Straight forward simple question. Basically my bodywork guy sprayed my rear bumper and he caught my HKS Dragger exhaust. Its got blue spray on it, how do i go about removing this? I got a cloth n put some spirit on it that didnt do the trick.

........ TWO!!!! Red M reg in Bath driving past The Royal Oak pub at about 1.15 and then a silver J reg in Cribbs Causeway about an hour later! Both with nice (aftermarket, strangely!) sets of alloys. Was it you? Was it me?? Was it someone else??! Be darned if I know!! Simon
