Hallo All, my clutch fluid reservoir has emptied itself again (only 2 months since last time grrr). The cap on the reservoir says DOT3 but the Owners Manual says DOT3 or DOT4 Europe only. It's a Japanese import with OEM clutch - so do I buy DOT3 or DOT4? Thanks - Gio

Does anyone know if you can buy these already made i.e with the black stripped off? I tried it on mine and the glue and rubber on the edges makes not for a very nice finish, you end up taking too much off and it looks like you could let water run in where the rubber is cut... Such a waste they take all that tme to put that black rubber over it when it looks better without!

After having the car broken into, smashed the ignition switch, radio panel,boot install and some trim parts....Anyway I found a spare switch, trouble is it has no wires comming out of it. Still I fitted it temporery and it works, but I cant get the shifter into park, even if I use the small overide switch on the shifter. Is this down to the wrong ignition switch or have the sods damaged moor than it looks. Car starts in N and runs just as it should 1,2,D,N and R all OK but no P. Any one help.. Chris..

Spotted a black h-reg z, standard trim. Cruising through Drayton (oxfordshire) 6'ish saturday 19th. I waved, but as usual....i was in the astra :x: I hate it when that happens!!!!

HI all. Being new to auto zx boxes there is something I need to know. What does the red sliding switch thingy do at the bottom if the stick. Also the switch in front and to the the left of the stick which has a picture of a stick on it and two arrows pointing up and down?

Sorry guys couldn't remeber which one was interested in the LM-1 kits, here's a link to their latest updates just released, which maybe or may not be helpful. http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/resources/news7.php cheers smithy

Today a Silver Zed passed me on the M62 westbound, It Exited at Junction 25 and took the Halifax Road off the roundabout! Reg was L771 RHL :tongue:

I have recently replaced my front struts and the top bushes but when running over rougher roads I get like a bump through the steering, car feels ok on flat normal roads only when the going is a bit bumpy, also I have replaced the lower wishbones/tension rod bushes/upper links. I have noticed that even though the 17mm nuts are tight at the top of the struts, I can turn the bush as though maybee the freeplay is in the mount at the top of the strut. Any input appreciated cheers john crisp

My mate's Sierra has a flat battery (been sitting like that for weeks). I'm gonna try and charge it with my 'inteligent' charger. If that doesn't work, is it OK to jump start it from my 300? Should I have my engine on or off when I try? Cheers lads! :dance:

where can i order some seals for the early alloy Z32 TT front calipers? mine are jap spec if it makes a difference. Cheers, Tom.

All I need to disconnect the two pipes that lead through the bulk head to the Air Con unit so that I can remove the engine wiring loom going through the bulk head, tight as can be to remove without I can tell you!! :( Can I just unscrew them or will gases end up blowing my lungs up? :D Searching for a FAQ now but struggling..... :(

As above please...... .....They have just given me a quote of £299 for a S/S (T304 grade) cat back exhaust system fully fitted to my ZX...... :shock: They are based in the Midlands (Walsal IIRC) - anyone used them or heard anything about them? Thanks Richard :cool:

I've had my aircon fuse out for a while now as the belt was slipping and it was doing my head in. As the sun is shining I finally got round to sorting the belt. Unfortunately the clutch on the compressor isn't engaging now. I've checked the relay - that's fine and the fuse. When I shorted out the output side of the relay contacts and the clutch kicked in fine (and the belt didn't squeal!). Any ideas? Can the ECU be preventing the aircon starting? Its adjusting the tick over to compensate ok. Cheers David

When i have my heater on there is a rattling noise comes from behind the dash i was told it sounded like somebody had dropped a pen down it, but unless they were really trying it couldnt have been done by accident. Has anyone else had a noisy heater, and what did you do to fix it.Also was told it might be the air conditioning unit needs a service?? :confused: :confused: :headvswal

He guy's hope someone can help. I was driving the beast the other day on a 27 mile drive and about half way it missfired for about 10 seconds. 3 days later after I took her out again and she's missing all the time really bad. It's got new injector connectors and coil pack connectors fitted and I have checked the ptu connectors and all that seems ok. It's only missing on the cylinder on the drivers side at the back as when i take the coil pack connector off it makes no difference to the running. It has been dry since I took it out first time ans I have the splash guard still in place so the filter wasn't damp. I'm going to do an ecu test this afternoon - will t…

just replaced fuel lines with smithys kit started car n runs lumpy :confused: not firing all cylinders :confused: all help appreciated

Guys You wouldnt believe how much of a mess it was underneath my nose cone on the zed, ripped out the HKS filter which is now for sale and I want to fit an Apexi unit. Thing is, I cant see there being enough space.... I seem to have about 5 coolers in a row including the rad... Can someone name them for me so I know whether I can rip them out or I do actually need them: TA :)

which fuse do i take out do depressurise fuel lines cheers

:cry: Hi guys i have a problem with my horn it`s just not working when i press the horn the relay clicks and the fuses are all ok but i just get no sound from the horn, any ideas. cheers Ray

As above please chaps/chapesses I know...curiosity killed the cat looking to buy polished one

Having ruled out any ignition problems I'm still having misfire on one cylinder at 10 PSI or more. Seems like it could be a dodgy injector but then again if the fuel pressure was too low, couldn't the last cylinder to be fed suffer as a result? Just wondering which road to go down next! Cheers Dave

Hi there all, I have literally just bought a Manual Nissan 300zx twin turbo 1990. You'll probably see my newbie posts around in various threads. I just wanted to take this opportunity to say hi to everyone and find out what rides you guys and driving and the mods you've done to it. Thanks Khaled

Evenin' all. Just popped the passenger seat forward to let some poor ******* out, but now the seat keeps sliding backwards and forwards, the back locks into position OK though. Can't see anything in the dark, but is there anything obvious I should check in the morning? Thanks!
