Hi, My mate has a 2001 Almera (1.5l). The yellow engine warning light is on the dash and engine cuts off every 2-3miles. Seems better is he goes under 40mph. Any ideas?

Apparently you have to reset the ECU when fitting the A'PEXi filter and some say get a air/fuel controller. To reset the ECU i understand that you just Disconnect the battery and reconnect. Is this correct? :confused: Also...Will i need a air/fuel controller as im runnin a JWT chip with 15Psi and Big shiny exhaust :dance: If so where do I get one from and how much are they to buy and fit :confused: Any comments welcome...Especially if there derogitory :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

200 on a 300 can anyone remember which model of 200 I should get them off?

Need New Discs and pads on the front - Cheepest place to get standard discs??? Got excess play in front steering rack ends, Costs? Solutions? Excess play in rear offside steering rack end, (Inner). Costs/where to get part? Thanks you lot. gonna go outside and frown at the zed for bit. costly *******!

Sorry it's a bit vague! It was dark, and you were fairly close behind the car infront, so I didn't spot you were a Zed till almost level. Silver / light grey / white I think, stock front. I was heading towards Fleet train station from the East- you were going the other way- I flashed :D Mark

Does anyone know where to get these steering wheel centre cruise controls ? It is from Tony Lack's old Zed - is anyone still in touch with him that could ask for me ?

Can one of the elctrical bods help with confirming what the EGI relay controls (that is in the fuse box under the bonnet)? I am trying to trace an ignition related fault and just need to be sure its not part of the circuit. Most people post on here that their cars won't start, mine won't stop!!! :eek: When you switch off the engine keeps running (and no it aint a turbo timer, I've spent the last two nights tracing wires under the dash to make sure). I think I have now narrowed the problem down to a short in the ignition circuit or a knackered alarm/immobiliser

Hi I'm an ex 300 owner who is hoping to soon return to the fold, really liked my old 300. I've been offered an import 300zx which has a faulty "Brake Master Cylinder". The car is in Japan and I'm not mechanically minded so I'm wondering how big a job is this to do on a manual 300 TT? Any input appreciated.

Saw a red ZX with a high level spolier along with two 4"? exhausts at the back going into Blackwall tunnel today. Anyone here?

Have asked this before but got no replys, What wire behind the speedo do you cut to put a speed converter in line with, the car is a 1990 auto,,,,, :headvswal Someone must know.............Help

Hi There, My newly imported Zed's has an aftermarket steering wheel put on and when I've stripped everything down, found that the horn isn't connected to any wires at all and can't see anything from the wiring loom to give me an indication where to connect. Does anyone know how I can connect it up? I'm not brilliant at electrics so if you can show pictures or tell me the exact couloured wires I'm looking for I will be grateful. Thank you Wayfarer

Stupid question i know but where is it. I blew a fuse today. thanks

I need a new clutch for my 1990 N/A, can anyone suggest a good clutch to get and a good place to get one from :D cheers mat

Hi, just wondered if i could get a gauge of what i should be asking for my Z :cry: . It's '91 on a J Uk spec auto, reasonable condition, 150.000 miles service history missing, JWT chip and Jets oh and Black, suprise suprise. Any help would be greatly accepted.

What exactly is a boost controller? What does it do? I'm guessing it's something to do with controlling boost lol And finally, when is it suitable or advantageous to fit one?

Hey, I have posted recently about wobbling and jerking with the steering, got the balancing and tracking done. Still there!! I have noticed that me steering wheel ain't straight when going straight, it's about 5 degrees to the right, only slight, but you can notice it. Also when I take my hands off the wheel it wants to veer left straight away. What could be causing this. I don't mind how much it costs just want a smooth ride!! It's really horrible especially when cornerning at any speed!! Any ideas would be appreciated! Cheers Jon

I want to change my wheels tonight. I'll (obviously) have to jack up the car. Will it do any harm to do it with the standard jack under the sill? Cheers!

Thanks for your feedback stevemochan about you fitting the pipes. I had a water leak and guess what it was ,a 4" piece of pipe located right above the gearbox .What a bloody job just to replace a small piece of pipe.So took box out replaced clutch while apart (big thankyou to Luke at Zcentre for quick delivery)and decided to decat while under there.Glad I put the short sections that fit directly onto the turbos on before replacing the gearbox because it would have been a BAST**D of a job to say the least.Well chuffed now, running as sweet as a nut and I can only agree with stevemochan the pipes were well worth fitting.(Brilliant finish quality, fit, noticable response &am…

Anyone any good with a spray gun local to me that can give us a had to sort a few little bits on my zed? Cheerz Mat

Anyone know where i can Buy some to remove some tiny inturnal circlips? circlips are about 15mm and have tiny holes for the tool. Think maybe 0.9mm tips. Cheers, Mat

Car is running rough up to 2 to 2.5 k on cold start up. I have been pointed in the direction of the o2 sensors. Does anybody have a link with instructions on how to replace them? Any advice welcome. :smw:
