I have a Blitz induction kit for a 97 scooby STI....think it will fit a UK TT Z??

Now getting a missfire that gets better as the engine heates up, but comes back when you boot it. any ideas on where to start looking for problems? gonna do a ECU check in a min.

Hiya, Looks like i have warped discs on the front....getting a sh@tload of judder when braking over 50....anyone got any recommendations for front discs/pads?? Prices?? Its a 91 TT UK. Cheers people. DAN :cool:

Hello, I've been wanting a 300 for quite sometime now but there are so many different types I havent a clue which are decent and which ones to stay clear of! Auto or manual? Whats the difference between a Fairlady and the TT? I've also seen a short wheel base one. I definitly want the turbo model but am unsure of the other options. I'm looking at spending no more than £5500 and will be buying one in March next year. Thank you

I've found and MAF sensor on a US site for sale There shouldn't be any problems fiting a US part on my 1990 Jap import should there??

I was on the way back from Cornwall in a blue almera when you flew past in the fast lane towards Leicester. L-reg. Tried to catch up but gave up after about 10 seconds! :rofl:

Just a bit of advice CHROME wheels are for summer and show use ONLY the big reason is expansion! the chrome expands at a different rate the the wheel its coated on heat from the brakes and cold rain on the wheels dont mix well the chrome cracks and pops off :x: you have been warned hopefully before anyone spend a fortune on them to use all year

is there any major problems fitting A FULL leather interior from a uk to a jap? 2+2 ie door cards the lot, uk passenger seats are electric arnt they? will it just slot in without wiring and work manually, or does the frame have to be changed? thanks

Looking to buy a Z31, generally looks ok, seems to be in reasonable working order etc.. here's the info: 1987 non-turbo 120k on the clock somtimes pops out of reverse? Don't know too much about Z31's but i take it it's a different 3.0N/A engine to that that's in the Z32's ? if so, what's the spec on the engine, i.e. bhp, torque, etc... oh and what are the non-turbo Z31's like as in 0-60, top speed etc... and handling? any good?! any info will do.. will it be ok with 120k on it?

still loosing my boost on my car which is driving me nuts. just had a full service and im no longer getting problems will the car feeling lethargic at low speeds. but foot to the floor after 20 mins and it feels like the turbos's have switched off. ive got no ecu error codes, and my timing is spot on. got a conzult and nothing abnormal showed up so im guessing a vacuum leak. can anybody check this for me.

Just wondering as my import doesn't and I wish it did!

Has any body got these fitted to there car!!!! cheers Dave

I've been bitten by the modding bug and was hoping over the coming months to do some performance mods to my Z, starting with upping the boost level. Would someone be willing to run a conzult on my car so I can see if there're any things that need to be sorted before I begin? (perhaps that should be to see what needs to be sorted!) I'm happy to drive to wherever to have it done, although obviously I would prefer to go somewhere closer to the North East rather than the other end of the country, but if needs must...

Quick brake query. Are the front brakes the same on an NA and TT? If not, would it be worthwhile fitting TT disks and calipers to an NA? Cheers Scott

as above, please

The numberplate slogan thread has reminded me... my rear number plate is too small for the recess, and it really fooks me off. Seein as it's raining, and I've already got soaked today, does anyone know the size? Rich

Help please Just recently my 91 Jap import has developed this strange noise. It sound like it could be a electric fan bearing grumble coming from the far right hand side of the cab, under the dashboard and behind the guages. It only starts after a few minutes, seems not connected to motor speed and is not affected by the fan settings. IS there anything mechanical there? It sounds like a loose or worn bearing, but isn't very loud or worrying. Ta Chris Davies :confused: :confused:

As you may have noticed, there are two excellent TTs for sale in the boards at the moment, one an auto and one a manual. I have an auto NA at the moment. I quite like the auto box, but must say I'm veering more towards getting a manual in my envisaged upgrade buy to a TT. Has anyone owned both Manual and Auto, and which is more fun ("fun" being one of my main criteria, to take the edge off going to work in the morning!). I understand Autos are quicker in pull-off, but which would be quicker over the quarter mile? Thanks, Mooch

Got me my first zed today- Black zed going towards Slough going past Esso. Flat number flate on bonnet.

Whos fitted them to a Jap spec TT. Come to fit them and think I've foooooked up. The end that goes into the Brake caliper fits perfect but the other end (female) is the wrong thred. So being a smart ars... :cry: I bought the correct ends to go on the brake line coming out of the wheel arch and the tool to create the nipple. But..and heres where it all foooks up the tool will not work because the pipe is not brass i.e. its steal..so now i'm stuffed. Looks like i'm gonna have to replace the hole brake lines! What have other done? Should have just got back to Smithy and told him but thought they are probably right and the car is wrong...being …

recently my zed has developed a high pitched chirp/squeek when changing between 2nd and 3rd ,from the auto box. :x: sounds like a pressure release of some sort, can anyone shed a little light on this for me

Well just 2 days to go and after 7 months waiting, Duffers tells me this sunday i'll be a Zed owner again :) After blowing a piston at THOR she's now got wiseco jobbies, new oil + water pump, PE cam belt, nismo 555's, full Greddy E-manage with optional sensor harnesses, LM-1 Wideband 02 sensor kit, SGP underdrive pulley, twin Apexi induction kit, the BB t28's got new cartridges fitted with uprated actuators, greddy SMIC, howe rad and electric fan all topped off with a shiny shiny plenum and other bits of bling ;) Next task is to try and get around a 1000 miles in before the next RR day at Thor, bit hard when yer live on an Island 37 x13 miles :rolleyes: so driving d…

Don't do it! I've had an overheating problem for a while now. Hopefully it will be resolved as of today as I've just fitted a big Koyo radiator (courtesy of NE Performance). However, my fan shroud was totally shredded when I rebuilt my engine so I removed it entirely. I still had the overheating problem and, recently, it had got very very bad. I had to drive with the heater on and, even then, I couldn't go over 70mph or the needle would head north. I bought a new fan shroud from Dave C (top bloke, highly recommended) and the difference was remarkable. I didn't have to drive with the heater on unless I wanted to hammer it. And if I did hammer it, as long as …

I am right in thinking u can get hold of new MAF sensors??? Mine's fcuked! I've seen them on the web from the US at around £140 but there's a 7-10 day wait and my Zed's been of the road for about 2 weeks already

Hi All, I'm the proud owner of my first zed, a 1993 Jap import :dance: I know this isn't the highest priority, but i want to get some sounds going, so i have a few questions. 1, Where can i get the thingamyjig that allows me to tune to UK FM frequencies? 2, Does anyone know where i can get an english manual for the Carrozzeria AVIC-D919 dvd/navigation system, as it's in japanese and i don't have a clue how to get it to work (of even if it works). 3, I don't have the cartridge for the nissan cd multichanger, can i get one from Nissan uk? Thanks for your help Steve
