Anyone in Yorkshire that can set up the TPS, Apart from the Nissan dealers. CheerZ

Hi, First off ill say hello, since I havent posted before ill just say my names Seb and I currently drive a Rover 600 2.0 Ti but am planning on trading it in for a 300ZX. Im specifically after a 3.0 V6 Targa 3d (280bhp?), I dont like auto gearboxes, they take the fun out of driving imo. What should I look out for when buying? Any tips? Any frequent faults to look for, bad signs etc? I just basically need to know everything there is to know! :) On another topic, the reason I came here is because I saw a 300ZX (red I think) at the island (round-about) in coventry (where theyre building the new football stadium) and it had 300zx.co.uk stuck all ov…

Is anyone out there running a Catless NA? Does it make a difference and how much louder is it? I have a pair of frontpipes ready to go on but im umming and arring whether to add a small pair of silencers to them because being an old fart, im past the stage of loud exhausts. The car has a Mongoose system on it now and its just the right side of bearable noise on a long Journey .

Right - I've got a UK spec TT with a faulty speedo cluster and need to sort myself out with a speedo reading before I have a run in with the plod... I realise I have a few ideas options open to me and was wondering if anyone else had chosen a particular solution over the others. Here are my suggestions 1) Buy new/second hand UK spec cluster 2) Buy J-Spec cluster and convert 3) Buy some aftermarket electronic wizard box which gives me a digital speed readout, 0-60 times, etc. This is what I think about each idea 1) Difficult to source s/h part, OEM replacement is expensive 2) Possibly a good option - how do I convert it though? Any cavea…

Hi I bought a car DVD player the other day with a seperate monitor and it plugs into the cig lighter theres a headphone socket on the dvd player which one end is a jack plug and the other is three auxilary leads the instructions stated that these are to be used as auxillary in, to go into an external source. SO I plugged them into my car Sony CD player. Now when the ignition is on and the unit is working through the speakers etc it is bloody ace surround sound and all that in my car. but as soon as I start my engine Iget a whistle through the speakers gets louder as you accelerate. etc Now all my leads seem fine and obviously it works great when the en…

Hi there, this is my first post so go easy. Had my car for a few months now (its a 1991 TT Manual Jap Import), and have been suffering with the age old 300zx problem of a misfire. Originally the car didn't want to idle, i did all of the usual things, connectors, plugs (replaced), changed the fuel filter (checked the pressure) etc. but still ran like a bag of Sh*t. Had it in a garage and they found the Drivers side O2 sensor was knackered. They changed this but it didn't seem to make a discernable difference. At this point i changed one of the coil packs as it was cracked around the stem, and also the Idle control valve. Still the same. Put it back into the garage and they…

remove n/s turbo!!!!!!! last year i decatted the car but whilst trying to undo the pre-cat, i snapped off one of the bolts :cry:..... i have to remove turbo now because it is blowing quite badly from the joint between the de-cat pipe and turbo. Have i really got to remove the engine or suspension for this job. many thanx Dave

Has anyone ever replaced all their exhaust hanger rubber bushes with PowerFlex ones.If so what sizes do I need and where to buy them Or does anyone know the size in mm of the eight that are stock.Cheers ........Vinz

Unplugged the yellow connector on the AAC today and restarted my car. My idle decided to shoot to around 1500. Am i right in assuming that this is the base idle now as the IAA is getting no commands from the ECU? why the feck would anyone set the idle to 1500 RPM? It's not that it would be hiding any problems as until recently the car has been idling perfectly yet slightly high at 950rpm, before cleaning out the TB's and idle valve in situ it was idling spot on at 750 It defiently looks like someone has had this plug off before, so I am assuming it's been adjusted before My TPS voltage is currently reading bang on 0.42 volts. And I have a steady idle of 950rpm …

Come on then , who owns the Black Zed in Hinckley then, i was the Mad git on the GSX1400 giving the thumbs up today.... :D :D I know it wasn't the Peach miester cos i know him.

Does anyone have a spare uk spec dash/dials, let me know please. CheerZ

D'oh! I've got hot felines too. :cry: On the basis that it might be different to BlackMagic's problem, I thought I'd put it in a new thread... Anyway, I've gone through the previous conversations on this, which seem to be based on dodgy connections. So I spent this afternoon cleaning every connector I could find (and get to). Generally they all seemed ok anyway, but the ones in worst condition were the injector connectors, but I presume that would lead to under fuelling, not overfuelling. So that turned out not to cure it. :( The other things of note are that firstly, it's not running rough at all. In fact it's running the smoothest since I got it! So I pre…

Hey, Ive been hearing a few things bout speed sensor stopping PAS and Speedo. Could this limit turbo boost? And where could i get a sensor cheaper than nissan, still trying to sort paypal so that i can subscribe! Scubie if you read this where you take your Z in Shrop?

Hi there. Yes, I know it's an old, old alarm. But it just died on me and I had to pay some bloke a fairly large wedge of money to come and 'bypass' it (just a pair of wirecutters and about 15 minutes work finding the fuel and ignition cuts). Anyway, does anyone have an old controller box for a Cobra 6422 they want to sell? It was full closure, and I want to use the original window lifters etc. Don't fancy having to pay to have all the old wiring ripped out and starting again...

I still have a weird vibration on my car, even though I've changed the wheels and tyres. Is there anyone in the north west I could visit who knows anything about this sort of problem. I need to get it fixed asap. Symptoms = a road speed vibration that starts at 30mph, doesn't come from the wheels, seems to be just an overall 'buzz' that can rattle the windows. It is worse as you go faster but takes a slight rest at 70 mph. It is a fast buzz rather than a shake! I had the prop shaft centre bearing done a few months ago and it was fine after that. But it stared about 3 weeks ago after I hadn't driven it for a few weeks. I'll come to you and pay costs and coff…

Hi guy's. Has anyone fitted a HID kit onto a UK car? If so where did you take the earth from and which colour wire did you use? White or black? Ivan

I think it was stillen making the kit, but I can't find the linmk on 300zxclub or on here, I believe that it changed the gearing in the 300zx Diff to an NA ratio without the hassle (and possible weaknesses) of a Diff transplant. Anyone have the link?

Bought a 300zx a week ago, the owner claimed it is chipped, any way of telling if it is chipped or not?

Nice zed parked up outside Plaza/Sutton Spice Outram street Sutton in ashfield 9ish 1st time ive seen a yellow one in the flesh :nana2:

Right.... Ive bought an Fairlady 2+2 tt IMPORT on a K plate supposedly a 93 model. I have checked my VIN ######510970 using this link:- http://www.aus300zxclub.com/tech/year.htm and it tells me that its a 90 model. On my registration document is says... Date of first registration=01/06/03 (DECL/D MANUF 1993) I have front seatbelts mounted on the doors which "legend has it" were only fitted on pre92 models. So is it a 90 or a 93 model??? Im thinking a 90 model. Any Ideas please?
