I flashed my headlights at someone in a supermarket car park yesterday. As I did so, my speedo swept right up to 180, then back to the true reading (of not much). Is it trying to tell me something or should I just ignore it? Cheers!

Hey Guys, Was wondering if this is right. On normal beam the outside bulbs are on, then when i put it on full beam the outside lights go out and the inside ones go on. My thinking that when the full beam is on all 4 lights should be on, am i right or being stupid? Cheers Paul

It's the black paint that is the part of the door next to the B post, if anyone knows it!

First of all thanks to all the people i rang in a panic today :confused: JD Chunk Jeff Shrimpy :rolleyes: What i would like to know and it seems a general answer is Yes there is a difference but until i know i cant buy another set of UK clocks..... :confused: I bought a set of UK clocks which took a while to find. Went to fit them today:D only to find that the the box connections on the back of the Uk clocks are different to the Jap clocks :confused: Which slightly P!ssed me off after taking the dash part. What i would like to know is are there differeces between a series 1 and a series 2 clocks ?? Mine is a 2 and has a 3+3 conect and a …

Spotted this morning (Sunday) heading down the Caterham bypass (A22) towards the M25 at about 10am. Looked like a UK model Steve :)

I bought a set of NISMO bushes for the top links from the guys in St Helens, to fix a clonk in the front suspension. The set up instructions are mostly in Japanese, and its is not clear what goes where. There are two types of bush provided, one with a longer steel collar than the other. Does anybody know which one goes where? My UK manual says the link bushes cannot be changed. Is this true? Advice appreciated. Thanks Dave

Saw you driving out of Reading on the A327 just after 12 on Saturday morning. I flashed you in a rather dirty white Zed, you waved. :cool:

I have two Engines sat in bits at the mo, one is from my manual uk tt and the other from an auto import tt! The bores are worn on the auto block and will need reboring, but my uk block the bores are fine what I want to do is rebuild the auto car with my uk block and get the import block rebored for my uk car saving two rebores due to me wanting forged pistons in the uk car :confused: hope this makes sence Is there any differences in the blocks, im sure I heard that the auto's power was reduced over the manual engine also what size are the standard pistons in the block Thanks ;)

How much do you think I could sell me Zed for? It's a J spec TT auto, K reg. It was imported in 1999 and has full service history since then. It's done 62,000 miles. It was completely standard until it had an oil leak and lost it's oil, doing damage to the crankshaft. Hence it was rebuilt only 3000 miles ago. The rebuild was done by a Jap performance specialist in Kingston, S & M motors which included: New oil pump, new water pump, new piston rings, all gaskets replaced, new fuel lines, new crankshaft and bearings and anything else that was worth doing while the engine was out. I also got brand new Garratt T25 hybrids with 360 degree bearings fitted (fr…

Hi all, I need some help compiling a list of all 300zx (z32 only) types that were produced, uk and jap only. So far, I have TT LWB TT SWB NA (both wheelbases?) Convertible (NA or TT / Both?) Slicktop (again, na/tt/both?) and any other variations? it's important i have a correct list :) thanks Adam

Hi The older Greddy B Spec has a different display unit to the newer Spec 2. Is it true the older unit does not have an inbuilt boost gauge and needs to be calibrated against a separate gauge? On the other hand I assume the newer unit has an accurate boost guage built in? I think the solenoid units differ too. Any1 got either of these or experience with them and can help? (Don't embarass me by saying it's in the FAQ) Cheers

whats the best headlight bulbs to uprate to? am fed up with the crap stock lights!! and cant afford a HID upgrade as yet!!! anyone

Anyone know the above ? I seen it written on here somewhere, but cant find it in a search now. (want to check my speedo accuracy with it)

just serviced my zed usual stuff and cleaned up a few more connectors ptu tps cas iav and changed the pcv valves wow what a difference she flies now. spools up quicker starts better much more responsive on the throttle dont like how much the plugs cost though my wallet screamed ouch very loudly but it was well worth it. silkolene oil aint cheap either but its done now could have serviced my cav tubbie 3 times over including a cam belt for what i spent on the zed :p

when my zed is cold it starts fine drives fine untill i get to about 40ish mph then it judders like mad i can feel it through the seat not through the steering wheel as you would if my tracking or balancing was out (i have checked them they are fine) after about 10 mins of driving when it warms up a bit every thing is fine the judder is no longer there. wheel bearings are fine as well. tyre pressure is fine. i cant think of what it could be as i am not technically minded enough to take it all a part and find the fault. :bow:

:confused: In need of 2, 235/35/19s anyone know of any good deals or who is best to contact.Cheers John.

sorry lads, meant to put my last thread in the discussion part, sorry to be a pain !!!!

picked up my first zed on wednesday, and I have got to say I am really pleased I didnt get the TT (yet) they should come out of the factory with crash mats on the side of them !! only been in it three times and the back end went every time, have to be very carefull in the wet I think, never had a car with an engine that sounds like this. wot a fantastic sound, and to think I nearly bought an MR2 !! the best part though, is that nobody knows what the **** it is !! they just stare anyway, unfortunatley the car has to go back to the garage as it haas got a nasty vibration when you hit 40 mph and the whole car shakes till well over a ton, any Ideas anyone? it had a shudd…

My car sometimes starts to idle at about 1500 - 2000 rpm, but then on some days goes back to normal. It was fine for a few weeks after a mate of mine messed about with the TPS, could this be the problem? if so I want one where and how much? CheerZ

got some clocks from the scrappy for a tenner :p and tried fitting them earlier, the two smaller plugs on the right hand side were a different size though. is this common with all jap-to-uk conversions? if so do i need to rewire with new plugs or is there an adapter available? cheers kenny
