The fuse that services the interior lights, central locking etc keeps blowing. Any ideas people?

just removed my rad out of my j-spec auto tt and noticed it has 2 oil pipes going into it on the same side as the rad cap. only problem is the one i bought off dave c has the same 2 oil pipes on the rad cap side and what looks like 2 more on the other side. is it the wrong rad.

Does it make any difference in ordinary road use? (Well, ok, maybe slightly above ordinary. :cool: ) Or really only for track?

Afternoon :cool: I'm gonna need some orange rear indicator bulbs when I fit my clear rear lights - where do people get these as obviously the stock diffusers are orange so only clear bulbs are needed? Or can you get any sort of paint/spray which changes the colour of the existing bulbs? Think I'm gonna need front indicator ones too as one got boshed up. Also I've heard of silver ones which light up orange - they'd look better when "off" i guess. Cheers for any info :hyper: Pete

The bolts on the flywheel Are they left hand thred?

Hi Guys, This has happened a few times, i have checked behind the drivers seat on the floor and its totally soaked. The seat's ect are fine, the roof doesn't even leak. So anyone got any ideas where this water can be coming from?! Cheers Paul

Anyone got stock ecu bin for UK TT manual? could you mail me please at ecu@tekniq.org

Hi, I've not posted here before but i'm currently running a Celica GT4 and thinking of upgrading to a 300ZX, nicer looking motor with, from what I hear, outstanding performance, I've also been told they can be fraught with problems and had several people warn me not to get one....I'm a bit confused, famed Nissan reliability not all it's cracked up to be? or model specific problems? Or a load of cr*p and they are extremely reliable? Having gone through nightmares with the GT4 I'm hoping to get something less problem riddled so any help and advice will be appreciated. Also I'm thinking of a budget around £4K is this realistic for a decent ZX?

So I've finnaly got around to ordering a series II PTU.............. My question is, when I come to fit it, do I just plug the new harness into the car's loom, or is it a cut a solder job? And where would you recomend me to re-locate it? And will this affect the water temp sensor wireing? TIA :bow:

Hi guys... Mr GTO here! :mac1: A post on behalf of my pal who bought my ZX TT from me... He enjoyed blasting the 1/4mile at the GTOuk TERMINAL VELOCITY event he wants to move on and do a little more to the car. :p The question is what next and how much can he expect from the mods. The car currently runs an Apexi SuperMegaphone Exhaust with no cat, and an Apexi induction kit. So the breathings sorted. Now what? Chip? if so where from and about how much. Also what about adjustable boost? Do you need any fueling supporting mods for this? He doesnt aim to push too much and wishes to retain the standard tubs. The cars a '91 Auto Twin Turbo Fank ya…

Can somebody please measure the width and height of your screen for me please. Ta muchly :)

Has anyone fitted any Corbeau? recaro seats instead of the big leather heavy electric ones that comes as std. Mine are cracking badly and rather than a retrim I was wondering wether to fit some seats in advertised by halfrauds, or the like? If so is it pretty easy and do they look ok, etc?

Kit here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43120&item=7919086131&rd=1 Tempted but I suspect that my insurers might put me off......

Yet another Zed spotted in and around Leicester last night............... Black G Reg TT heading towards Broughton Astley last night (1st Sept) about 7(ish) from the B4114. I didn't flash as, i wasn't in my Zed, and i wasn't driving :D.................... I'm sure i recognised this one as well, maybe a member of the Darkside??? ;)

Hi, I'm told i need a new ptu, from what i've read the only way to go is to get the series II on. There's one forsale on the forum, is that the kind of price i should be paying for one? (£100 used i think). How much are they to buy new?, i've read you can't get them in this country? Any pointers??? Thanks, Tony.

my rear tyres are fecked MOT time is 2 weeks away! getting some goodyear F1s i have 17inch alloys and the tyres on there at the moment are 255/40/17 zr should i stick with this size or change to something else i know its a boring thread but needs sorting :) thanks guys and gals greg

My rad decided it was,nt going play ball anymore last week , i phoned nissan for a price !! £277 plus vat , ouch , but not wanting the same problems you get i.e side tanks going brittle and being bloody puny for such a big and hot engine Manta v8 recomended i phoned SERCK INTERTRUCK they looked at the old rad to see if an uprated core could be fitted , the side tanks are available seperately from nissan but they are too slim to fit a thicker core . They said they can make a new rad out of brass with a triple core , aparently having a much improved flow rate and obviously more coolant. The best bit £190 plus vat , quite a good upgrade me thinks ! :dance:

saw a Topless z very nice condition, champagne white in colour, 2 tone OZ 5 spokes, aftermarket front bumper. first this morning in Chaxhill Garage on the A48 Glos about 10 ish and this evening at Elton jcn of the A4151 and A48 about 6 ish wasnt in the zed as it is being rebuilt!!
