The last day or two i've noticed that every now and again I get get a wiff of petrol - just a bit, and If i pull over open the bonnet and have a sniff its gone. That hasn't been too worring but.... Today when I tried to start her - she didn't want to know when I tried the Starter motor turned over ok and it sounded like it wanted to start but couldn't. I did this for a while and tried pumping the gas (usually don't have to touch the throttle) but nothing after a while I could smell petrol so I stopped left it for about an 2 hours and then tried again. T…

I came home today after a drive in the hot sun and saw green fluid leaking from the front nearside. I know it is the coolant but has anyone else had a similar problem? I have taken off the reservoir and found that a feed pipe may be missing. Any suggestions? :bow:

as per title, I was giving thumbs up, driver looked bemused...as I wasnt in a zx.

Saw a white F reg zed cruising down Camberley high street about 11pm last night (saturday). Anyone here? Justin

Hi, The interior trim on my targa has all come loose for some reason and looks really tatty. I've decided to pull it all off and re-glue it but I can't figure out how to remove the targa 'open/locked' catch? It seems to be held on some how, but I'm buggered if I can see how? Any ideas?

I got a bargain from a local scrapyard for a high lever reap spoiler, out of curiosity i was wondering if anyone could identify it from the sticker thats on the left side of the spoiler where it would be bolted to the tailgate. It reads as follows: 90-96 300ZX 2 DR MIDWING 591344L M 1 Cheers John Crisp

im a bit out of my league here ive got water leaking out of bottom of engine seems to be coming from rear of bottom belt pulley got all front parts off ie fan,hoses,right side drive belt cover etc etc to the point of loosing track of everything would i be right in thinking it may be the water pump?? or is it worse maybe head?? :( :( :(

10 bits of Mr Nissan's rubbery things arrived today - and look, they've all got a hole all the way through them :) how handy :D Thank you very much indeed - and the old girl says thankyew too :bow:

Im brand new to this zx thing and I love it but I have a few questions. I have just bought a 1992 import z with blitz exhaust and blitz bov's. It currently will not run more than 5psi and I have been told that it should be about 9psi. Cant really hear the turbos and the bov's are almost inaudible but the car does feel quite strong. Also, sometimes when it has just been driven hard I come to a stop (at a roundabout for instance) and it stalls. Any ideas on these would be much appreciated. Sorry if these are really silly questions but im new to the world of real cars!!!

Got a strange warning light on the dash, left hand side I was running at a steady 85-90 when it came on. Just a flicker at first, then full on. Looked like something overheating, so I turned off the AC and slowed to around 65. The light went out. Got home to look in the hand book, but nothing. Does anyone know what warning lights are on the left hand side on the Jap cars? It's sort of a box with open ends and three or four wavey lines above. Like something is hot.. Any idears? Chris..

Mine was parked opposite while I miserably failed my DAS test- well narowlly missed by ballsing up my turn in the road. Now I'm pissed off and half pissed. Poo. Black H reg with a big way-out spoiler with a thor sticker. Was this Paul C's? Who has it now? What were you doing A Cov. Speedway? Is it the dogs tonight there?

My boost is playing up and just wanted to see if anything sounds strange. my boost read -9 or is it -90 when engine off. it idles at -60 or -600. full boost is 0.5 bar but drops to 0.4 bar after a while. is this a boost leak or saftey/detting

Im trying to find out for sure if its the PIAA HE271/ecb1 model will fit in the Jap import 300, anyone know any decent sites and CHEAP! Cheers, Rob

I'm replacing my rear 6x4s as the old ones are knackered. (I got some new Blaupunkts from ebay for £22 :dance: ) When I put the new ones in, does it matter which way round the wires go on each speaker? Do they have a positive and negative or anything like that? cheers gents

Right i'm probs with system not working the volts to the rear battery is 9 which my amps require allot of juice as their 2500rms. I'm assuming the rear batt is loosing charge as i only drive it weekends, the charge is getting lost between the two. So what i'm going to do is fit a split charge relay these are my plans let me know if you think it will work. The Relay goes inline of the for Gauge power as close to main batt as poss, it has two little other things on it to attached so i'm assuming one is earth and the other is to turn it on so what do you think about connecting it to the remote lead for the amps on the head unit, is this a constant power source…

Hi Just bought phil300zx's car from him . It needs stuff doing like speedo sensor but really could do with a 300 guru to go over it and tell me how much dollars to put all the niggles right, and more importantly if there is anything wrong that i do not know about. Im in north wales 90 miles from manchester. Anyone close who can help ? Will cover petrol and maybee even stand a pinto or two. Many thanks chaps :D

Seen on the way out from work, parked opposite St Aidens, Bracken Hill Industrial Estate, Peterlee

Hi all, thanks again for all the help you've given, I must have read every topic on the forum by now! At least I won't feel like I'm going to buy a car I nothing about :) Anyway, I've seen this pic online, and I was wondering if anybody knew what kit it has on, and also what wheels they are. This is the sort of look I will be going for after some consideration, and convincing the better half it's a good idea to do. ;) So, any ideas from the experienced owners of Zed's on here?

Need to find a good alternate to the guy I am hopeing to use as he is busy busy.

Guys, does anyone elses rear hatch annoy the fVck out of them when driving along bumpy road, mines squeeks like you wouldnt believe...... :mac1: I think its something to do with the u-bar and lock mechanism but I havent started to investigate yet, although my frustration is bringing me closer to it!!! I just end up turning the stereo up, not good though when ur taking your mum to the shops! :D Anyone else got this noise?
