Just bought auto trader (scottish edition). There is a silver TT in it. It has very nice 19" wheels and a stunning bodykit i aint ever seen before (Miyamoto), aswell as the usaual K&N, SS exhaust etc. If you are looking to buy, take a look at this. Looks really nice @ £6900

Nice NA import with single exit zorst, looked pretty standard, lady driver too

Just about to do my first oil change on my 300TT. The car is supposed to have only done 12K and seems to be genuine. Ive just bought some Morris multilife fully sythetic, 10W50, does this make for good 300 tt oil as nissan only recommend a semi? My main concern is that the rocker/sump gaskets may suddenly leak as a result of how thin the synthetic is. Are there any leak issues on the 300, as some of my other cars have developedf small leaks in these areas after using synthetic. Any help would be great.

Today (Saturday) about 18:30. My girlfriend just phoned me, panicking, telling me that she'd just seen my car drive past with someone else driving it. Strange, I thought, as I was sat outside my house in my Z trying to figure out the connections on my turbo timer when she called :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Chaps, the standard 13cm speakers that are in the car, what shape is the standard grill that covers the door panel? On mine it looks a bit bizarre, its got Pioneer g1316s which are pretty awful but the grill is round with a bit off to left making it more the 6*9 shape, bizarre when the speakers a round one? Can anyone recommend some 'decent' 13cm speakers and has anyone got any of these grills if they are standard cos the guy who put the ones in on mine has really hacked it. Ive got a Kenwood 7080R if that helps with the speak hifi combo... Thanks, Rob

Damn! Started last night and is still doing it today. When i press the accelerator the revs dip slightly before rising. If the car is at idle and i just tap the pedal the revs clearly drop by a few hundred rpm. No problems at higher revs, just when i start to press the accelerator. Whats going on there then?

I have just fitted white dials and now none of them are working properly, i had to remove the needles in order to get them on, does anyone know what maybe wrong or is it case of buying a new set of clocks :cry: If anyone has a spare set of clocks around could you tell me where the needles move freely too as i am hoping i just need to move these?? Thanks all Ant :(

Do you think it'd be ok to stick the original Fairlady mats throught the washing machine? I can't see it would do any harm but does anyone know better? :dance:

Has anybody got any pics/links on how to fit blitz bov's, i've fitted the bovs/hardpipes, just need to know where the pipes plug on to & how to fit the ''bungs'' to the recircs. Many thanks

Futher to my other thread " rear wheel hub's" Been told by MR F. you can replace the studs in the flanges, :rolleyes: rather that get new flanges thought that this might be the way ahead :p , anybody attempted this or can anybody confirm weather this is true or not! Basiclly he said that the studs have a splice in them and get pulled into the flange the first time that the wheel is put on and the nuts are done up, and as 4 out of the 5 sheared off yesturday whilst driving :shock: , which was very un-nurving i might add :cry: ( new under ware and drivers seat now required, so anybody got a good deal going on pm me, not for the underware thought. lol ) going to …

anyone clued up on these? ive installed one and it needs to be hooked to a speed pulse so being an import the delimiter is ok, but when i wire it up via one of the wires that goes to the delimiter i lose speedo and steering is heavy, i have read all the posts re hicas and speedo, but cant understand why tapping into that wire would cause it, my question is for anybody in the know, is it possible to fit another speed pulse?? ive tried moving to the other wire in the delimiter but then the sat nav wont calibrate ie doesnt know where i am via the gps, going to move it back to the other wire today, as i didnt calibrate it on that as i assumed cos the speedo etc…

Could someone please tell me the diameter of the rubber pipes which are attached to the metal petrol lines under the car, its just I've got a slight leak from them, I would prefer to know the diameter of them so that I can just go out and buy them rather then take them off first, thanks all help is much appreciated.

Was behind you in a Impreza. :)

I know this is in the wrong section, but I was paid a visit by some local socially deprived individuals today, who I dare say didn't mean to do what they did to my car, but society has left them no choice. In short, I need a new tailgate window. If anyone has any going, then please do drop me a line. Am willing to take the whole tailgate if it is black, but given the looks and comments I am going to get at a certain nationwide glass centre, any colour will do! Thanks in advance. Phil.

Finally got rid of the horrible squeeky noise from the dashboard area. Its been there for over a year and has driven me up the wall. Turned out, it was the battery holder thingy. The pin at the back was too long and was rubbing underneath the plasticy bit at the bottom of the windscreen. The bottom bit of the pin was loose aswell and was rubbing against the bulkhead. Didnt even look loose. I just noticed it when i gave it a shake. Swapped the pins around, tightened it up correctly and the squeek has gone. :dance: Well pleased now!!!

Seen last night, blue interior neons, side graphics (possibly a dragon - didn't get a good look), extremely loud.

Hi just wanted to know if anyone could help me find a nismo exhaust system for my 300zx, i saw one on another 300zx recently and have been looking for one ever since, but havent been able to find one. i suspect that it was alredy fitted to it as it was an import but was hoping to find a web site of some discription to buy one. I would realy appreciate it if anyone can give me the name of a website or store where i can find one. cheers

I see there is a oil cooler mod to auto boxes for imports...is this just the case for turbo models or NA aswell? cheers :duffer:

Where can i get some paint that matches the stuff on the car? the paint code is 673 and its a 1992 Jap import. need to know what the colour is called too. Cheers guys

Anyone with an Oscilliscope fancy meeting up so I can get my ECU on it and try to see why my emulator address watch isn't working? Think the processor is 8MHz, but I'm guessing bus speed is less than that.

Hi guys, I've just had some work done on my Z and have found the clock doesnt work at all and neither do the retractable mirrors. Do these run off the same fuse? Or does their wiring both go through the centre console and somethings been dislodged? Thanks for any help. Dave.
