Hi all Saw a nice yellow Zed on the E4 route heading north towards Stockholm around midday on Wednesday........ ;) Richard

Am I right in saying that if I fit an A pillar pod, it will affect the alarm setup, as the sensor points up the A pillar? Also, what is the difference between an electronic boost gauge and a mechanical? Is one more reliable than the other? Is one more difficult to connect up? thanks, Kersh.

I am deciding wether to go for a new exhaust at the moment. I have a 93 t/t manual and want a new exhaust obviously but i have heard alot of people saying that once they have changed the exhaust the oil seals on the turbo cause an oil leak and exhaust starts smoking. Is this the case that once ive changed the exhaust to a str8 through my turbo's are gonna be on there way out, cos i dont want smoking of any kind!!! is it best to just leave the exhaust??? Help

Discs and pads are getting close for renewal on the rangey (4.6 litre v8). Was thinking of replacing with standard discs but puting some EBC pads in. Question is green or reds?? Was thinking green but it is a 2.5 tonne car, so should I think about reds?? Any useful ideas appreciated. Nick ;)

Knowbody seems to want to answer this question, when my car hits 135mph or there about my speedo cuts off!! the car continues to smoke the Audi TT's + suped up cozzies but I dont know how fast Im going I guessed that ive hit about 165mph but the car seems to start rocking...so I slow down (sensible guy you see!) but I would love to get this problem soughted so I know exactly how fast my beast is going.

Ive Been After The Lambo Style Lights For What Seems Decades, Since Registering On This Great Site Ive Noticed A Few..so Their Must Be Someone Out There Who Can Help With;- *price??? *location??? Or Tell Me Whether The Rear Light Cluster On The Skyline Can Be Manipulated For The 300zx??

Pearl Yellow in Croydon , followed me for a while , you were behind me at Doves Jaguar.

WHEN FITTING A NITOUS SYSTEM TO A 300ZX WILL I NEED TO UPRATE MY INJECTORS? I WILL BE RUNNING AN EXTRA 150BHP WOULD THIS BE SAFE?? ALSO DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY OTHER MODS I WILL NEED PRIOR TO FITTING THE WET NO2 KIT? ALSO IM HAVING PROBLEMS WHEN MY CAR HITS APPROX 135MPH...MY SPEEDO CUTS OUT :confused: ONLY TO START WORKING AGAIN AT APPROX 20MPH (WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON)???????????????????? :eek:

I'm new to air tools and I've just bought an air ratchet wrench from B&Q. However, either I'm using it wrong or it's knackered. With the compressor set to the correct pressure, I can quite easily grap the socket and stop it turning. When I do this, you can hear air rushing out of the bottom of the wrench. Am I doing something wrong or is it bust?

been having a slight missfire on the zed on the drivers side, cant for the life of me find the fault tried everything, so i unplugged all the injectors and coilpacks and pulled back the wiring loom, just as i opened the connector to the iacc valve i noticed that the red wire going into the connector had worn through and was making contact with the earth of the plennum :shock: would this cause my missfire at very low revs ???

In need of help yet again. Now this sounds like a stupid question and might well only require a stupid answer to sort it. :D I am fitting a camber correction kit soon and I assume to get it set up right I will need to know what sorta drop my car is running. Trouble is the car came from Japan ready lowered so don't have a clue what springs I am running therefore at a loss as to how much its been dropped. Any idea how I can tell? Justin

My 2 back boxes on the my jasmo exhaust need replacing, from searching this forum Jasmo seems to be a japenese brand not available over here, i only want to replace the 2 back boxes as im skint, has anyone got any suggestions or is this possible?? Cheers

have bought some new gauges for my car and was going through the usual "where shall I put them " thing and was wondering if anyone had thought of modifying the original instrument cluster. Either by removing the existing temp and boost gauges and replacing them or by totally redesigning the clocks to icude new gauges. I know that there is a PCB behind the clocks, but has anyone though of reworking this?

Just after fitting my autobox after its second rebuild in as many years . Problem is first gear isnt dropping out easily it redlines at 7200 starts heitating 2 or 3 times before finally dropping to second (and not smothly) all other gear shifts are fine. Any ideas, could it be as simple as TPS or speed/rev sensor circuit, surely these would effect all gears not first. Any help appreciated Roy

Hi - I have a problem with my side lights - the switch is off but the lights won't turn off. I want to remove the fuse temporarily to save my battery going flat, but the fuse diagram is in Japanese :confused: Can anyone tell me which fuse I need to remove? Also, can you advise as to what might be causing this prob? Thanks for any advice. Ummm, you're talking to a girlie here, so nothing too technical pls - I'm surprised I managed to find the fuse box at all :D

Hi chaps, I need to get hold of a Z32 air flow meter, has anyone got the number on the meter handy? Cheers Paul

The zed has a problem with air locks and one of the reasons for this is that the Rad is low in the engine bay, just wondering if the rad supports at the bottom, would take some large washers to make the rad sit a fraction higher. Obviously you would have to monitor the height to make sure it didn't foul on the bonnet, maybe a bit of blue tac on the rad cap to look for the imprint of the bonnet and how close it is? Your thoughts please?

i have a 1993 t/t 300zx and wanna change the speaker anyone know what size they are in the doors and in the rear ??

Had new springs (white line) and shocks (Koni) fitted to the zed and noticed front off-side wheel is almost touching the wheel arch whereas near-side is ok. Having investigated further it seems the car is not lower at one side, but the off-side wheel is closer to the front of the wheel arch than the near-side wheel. :eek: Is this normal?? Does it just need wheel alignment?? The car is almost undriveable. Can anyone recommend someone in the Preston/Blackpool area who could look at this, set it up and have it laser aligned etc.?? It has a really low front on it so that may limit my choices. :D Cheers Rich

My Mrs took her Polo (1999, 1.0L) in for sevrive MoT. (This should be the Mrs Craig David help forum!). They want to replace both front discs as they're pitted. They replaced them two years ago and she's done less than 10,000 miles since then. This seems far to short a life for a brake disc.... any idea how long they should last? She's a slow driver but the car is parked outside. Any idea what causes pitting? Thanks chaps!

Hi All, I've been looking for a good-condition 300ZX twin turbo for a some months now. I'm planning to go for the 2+2 rather than the SWB because, although it's fair to say I'm not buying this car for practical reasons, I do occassionally need to carry more than one other person on fairly short journeys, plus I often need to carry guitars and associated kit around. With all this faffing around I've been getting slightly impatient, however it's been good in the sense that I'm a lot wiser about the issues and pitfalls I need to consider. There is still one question I don't have a definitive answer on though: which is better, the auto or the manual? My ow…

The Mrs had a tiny prang while parking my car. It didn't even mark it but when she drove home afterwards, it stalled. Does anyone know if there's one of those switches that cuts the fuel in an accident? I wonder if it might have cut the fuel pump and as she was driving so slowly, enough trickled through to get her home so it just stalled once. If so, do you know how to reset it? ...... it's probably fine (touch wood!) but I have to go to Wales soon and I don't want it cutting out all the way there. Cheers!

I've got a question from a buyer on e-bay who is interested in my radiator (he may be a member on here already, I don't know). He wants to know if my twin turbo radiator would fit his N/A. I've looked at the two parts and they are very different. However, would does anyone know if the twin turbo model would fit as a potential upgrade? Cheers Mike
