Probably due to it been Summer time ( allegedly ) seem to have seen a high incidence of zeds suffering from rattling drivers window when the window is half way down, the cause is due to the nut securing the window rail has come undone or in most cases I have dealt with has gone completely. To access the correct nut lower the window down and from outside the door you can see a round black access disc in the black plastic area at the rear/top of the door pillar, remove the disc and you can see a screw which holds the pillar trim to the inside of the door, when removing the screw take care not to drop into the door. Now pull the trim away from the inside of the d…

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.

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:

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…
