Does anyone know the resistance of the S7 water temp gauge? All great fun. Ta

Does anyone know where i can find an on-line parts guide. Need to phone the oiks at my local Nissan garage to order a part. Unless you have the actual part no. they haven't a ****ing clue! The two part numbers i'm after are the two relays that work off the emission,when the idling falls too low they pick it up but mine are shagged and just keep buzzing throwing the idling up and down....before you ask i've dismantled the AAC and checked and tested all the solenoids which are ok and cleaned all the valves.... Anyone?

If anyone can lend me the sensor for this I would be fookin grateful. Hopefully not all of you have fitted it yet. Just lend it to me for a while. Cheers Chris

For a short while the steering was alternating between normal feel and a heavy feel with a little "kick" when changing. :( Opened the PAS fluid reservoir and turned lock to lock to eliminate any airlock. PAS OK for a while and is now permanantly heavy. Local garage has checked and found all mechanical parts to be working (pump, rack etc) He thinks it is an electronic signal problem related to the vehicle's speed - Is this right?? and if so where is the problem and what is the cure????? Cheers lads - Apache aka Phil

Hiya, I hav a UK91 Manual TT and find the traction on her to be somewhat dodgy, ive already spun out on a roundabout a low speed (it was wet to be fair), but in general she often starts to come out at the back and feels like she would go at the slightest twitch! The tyres are faily new (came on the car) but to be fair they are budget ones, which probably doesnt help. Apart from gettin some decent tyres what can you guys recommend to improve the handling?? Oh and the HICAS is enabled. Cheers, ~DAN~ :cool:

Cruisin on the inside lane coming up to the KFC/Mcdonalds turn off nr basildon. luvly sound....custom orange paint, looked like the ferrari bumper/light conversion at the back...quad light at front, dropped to the deck. This must have been about 3wks ago now, probably on a Sat. If you do see this tell me how you got that growl out of her!!

Did the HID conversion for the dipped headlights and I love em, absolutely brilliant, Anybody got any idea if I can do the same for my main beam? can the same power thingies that I had to install for the other lights be used? I dont think I could fit another set of those boxes under the bonnet!!! Cheers Dave

I think something is up with my auto box :( I've gone though old threads about vib probs and all seem to be speed/prop shaft related. I feel a vib as soon as I start the car, its there in all gears, I think its still apparant in neutral, will go and check. It comes up through the seat, same as if the wheels arent balanced properly. Dont know if its related.... Driving at 80mph, floor the throttle, seems to go into neutral, revs shoot up to about 7500, no more power. Throttle back, goes back into 4th, all is fine. Til I try floor it again. Only happens when I'm going fast in 4th. Any help will be greatly appreciated Thanks

ive had a quote to take out engine and put it back in , but what price is a good price???

Dead battery needs replacing a.s.a.p. Any ideas where from and price?

Need some advice guys, After installing a rear fog light for the MOT, weird stuff started to happen. When engine is turned off my boot gauge pulses and makes ticking noise under the bonnet, also the front fog lights stay on. So needless to say when i go back to the car the next morning the battery is dead. Anyway it passed the MOT and i thought if i just removed the wiring ect it would be ok, but it still does this things. Any ideas??

Anyone know what the most 'compact' air filter for the Z is? I have a blitz sus, but ever since I got the oil coolers uprated it wont fit because of my front bumper :( I currently have a 'green' filter (long & thin) in there, but it needs replaced and I dont particularly like it Long is ok, it just has to be as thin as the green one. :)

My brakes are playing up. I reckon I need a master cylinder and maybe even disks and pads all round. I've tried the numbers in the traders section with not much luck, does anyone have any suggestions where I can order these parts from?

Don't suppose some nice person has a Conzult available that lives fairly close to me? I am in East Sussex about 10 miles from Tunbridge Wells. Cheers Chris P

my front windscreen wipers failed me on the way to work this morn, they dont move at all - sounds like the motor itself is moving though? Is it a case of popping off the 4? screws on the black plastic surround in front of the screen? Does it sound like spline has rounded off? They are very stiff to move by hand.

Hi, When I do a full power kickdown in my '90 TT auto I can hear a rythmic gentle chiming sound from somewhere on the passenger side like a computer error warning.Any ideas what that may be? Regards from Australia.

has anyone else got a noisy interior when they get in it in the cold mornings? i have a lot of squeaks and stuff till she warms up..mainly where the door plastic meets the dash and by the seat belt on the door..should i grease it up or something? anyone know good stuff for this? that trim cleaner stuff doesnt do a thing

Im gonna do some light work on my zx next year..anyone have any good options? I was thinking front: reflector light mod (zedworld thing) rear: round lights, but what options do i have for reverse and fogs? currently ive got a red bulb in one of my reverse light blocks so reverse looks like one set of bulbs isnt working which is not ideal...are there any useful light options so that i dont need to get the UK bumper and wiring stuff done? Cheers, Rob :dance:

Guys, What do you think of this http://www.autotoys.com/x/catalog/KEYPAD_STARTER_KILL_LIGHTED_p_317.html I like the look of it and think it would be quite a good bit of extra security for the very cheap price, might enquire to see if they can post to the uk. What do you reckon?? Cheers Ant

Changed my spark plugs today and did a compression test while I was there. First time to do one, but I think the results are OK. Anybody want to share their opinions? Back 155 165 160 150 150 145 Front Previous plugs were in a pretty healthy state so that's always promising :)
