How do you stop the fan belts squealing when you first start up in the morning? It goes away really quicky when the car is a bit warmer or revving higher

This is a really stupid question but how do I tell what model my TT is? I keep hearing SWB and all that, how do I tell?

Hi, Noticed on some occasions (mainly on cold start) that there is a tapping noise coming from the engine. This seems to go after a while but the other morn it was like it and after 30mins driving, got back and noticed it was still doing it! Any ideas? Could be tappets? Cheers, Dan :cool:

Been thinking about buying some parts from the states, well Z1 to be more specific. The items I were thinking of were Eibach Springs $245 KYB Adj Shocks $395 Midori Style Camber correction $395 Z1 Big brake kit $750 Total $1785 Carriage $403 With the pound being strong, does this seem a good buy, especially when all the Taxes get added? I was trying to avoid spending much on the Z just for now, but need the Camber correction, but then think, well while ordering that would be nice etc etc. Is it w…

thundersly about 9pm.. mike???????

Have just completed a cambelt change on the Z for the first time. Bought the kit from Courtesy including new tensioner, pulleys etc. I followed the tensioning instruction according to the TTnet procedure. I.e. 4mm gap on tensioner after 2 rotations. Now I assume the preload on the tensioner is correct and checked by Nissan? Is there a more precise way of checking the actual belt tension? Once reassembled the engine now seems to produce a slight whirling sound which suggest to me maybe the belt is too tight, I have eliminated all auxiliaries and fan. Car has done 100 miles since belt change. If this whirling sound is a common thing that goes away after a little runnin…

Yer, i know its most prob been asked B4, but is it possible to change the center bearing without a propper ramp, ie on 4 axle stands, and without a fly press? my bearing arrives on tue and i was thinking of booking the day off work to do it myself...wot u rekon?? :smash: crash, bas, bosh.....

Drove to the club this morning, just came of throttle (about60mpg) and the fooking thing was stuck. The passenger side bar going into the throttle body seemd to be jammed a tad, not like other side. was carefull on way home i can tell you. never mved anything ionto nutral so fast in my life. How much for anew side, dont want this happening again ever. inclosed a pic of the bit. nicked it off forum so TIA for whoevers pic it is. oh reason i know this is the culprit is its happened befor and i had it sorted but looks like a year on its back.

i have a switchable super chip fitted to my 93 jspec tt, this part was on car when i bought it but was not so long ago i found it as switch was tucked up behin glove box, have investergated since and took ecu apart to find it has a chip in it with its own circuit board with a switch coming out to switch between two levels, only markings on it say its made by "field" and the model is "boxer" can any give any info on where this comes from, i have tried everywhere?

Anybody used one and how accurate do you rate the results?? Particularly interested in G Tech Pro results on a stock car and how they compare to stock figures (esp on an NA) Also if used on another stock vehicle how do the results compare against manufacturers/magazine figures???

ime thinking of fitting a genuine mines ecu to my 93 jspec,are these any good compared to a jwt,----should i fit the mines ecu,or put a jwt chip in my ecu?????? any advice please guys

seen you on friday driving in to weston in the rex,nice looking motor mate!i was behind you in my works car saxo :rolleyes:

Hi, does anyone know if there are different boss kits for the N/A and the TT ?? I have found a part number for the N/A which is 3508, but the TT is not listed????

has any one used a 8" twin plate pref. exedy are they any good ?? cheers

Saw a Black Z in Hitchin going towards Henlow today (22/1/05). Looked like it had a funky exhaust fitted. I was waiting for a new tyre to be fitted so if you saw my car inside STS tyres congratulations: you have the eyes of a ninja eagle cyborg.

Car has been fine, last night we wired up the ApexiSAFC and found that there is a dodgy earth pin on the ECU (not the main earth but the one the SAFC goes to). We are gonna redo the connection on sunday - and everything works fine in the car. Im driving down to plymouth today in HEAVY rain, and when i give it 100% throttle it gets to about 5000 rpm and starts misfiring, in every gear. I slowed down and gave it about 50 percent throttle and it went right up to 7000rpm no problems. It might just be a coincidence with the fact we fiddled with the ECU last night, or it might be damp somewhere, but i wondered if anyone else ever had this problem ? Also, im runn…

I was fixing a dodgy injector connector today and noticed one of the belts on the underdrive pulley(?) has broken - which belt is it? (I know, it's the knackered one :p ) Also, is it more than one belt that has gone? There are two left intact on the u/d pulley, but I'm more than a bit concerned about the lack of belt in pic number two.

Does anyone know which Turbo timers can be adapted to fit inside the 300zx centre console clock position ? I've seen this done before, but cant find it now and I believe there are more than one T-Timer that will fit in the slot ? Cheers

Has anyone had any dealings with this company if so any advice, details etc would be very helpful. Better still do you know any UK firms who deal for them. Thanks

Has any one got a good pic of the rear of a RED Z with a Jap Bumper & standard lights, high level spoiler & a goose twin pipe exhaust? It has to be square on, I need to do summink in PS, tonight! Cheers :D
