B19 *** in hinckley/nuneaton area going past Halfords yesterday at about 7ish think it was. deffo a member-saw the stickers in the windows! ;)

Hi. Just wondering if anyone has encountered this. I've replaced the tie bars which did nothing. It doesn't do it in reverse only forwards so can't be disk warp. I think the tracking may be toeing in slightly because the tyres seem to be rapidly wearing on the outer edge. The camber of the road seems to affect which way the car "pulls" too. Can toe-in cause vibration ? maybe under heavy braking the wheels are toeing inwards even more? Any suggestions would be helpful as I'm stuck with this one. Car has just been MOT'd too! Thanks Dave.

I have been having problems with my rad, one side hot, the other freezing. Like most people had considered either a new standard rad, or an uprated one. However, was out doing a bit today and found some kitchen descaler in the garage. What the hell, methinks, in she goes, done 12 sachets in there as one is meant to do a standard kettle, and started her up. Now the temp guage normally sits bang on 80 degrees, no matter what, after five minutes of running, it shoots straight up to 100 and starts flashing a warning, so I take off the cap (carefully!) and she is well low on water, fill her up to the top and let her run on. The guage settled at 75 dgrees, and fo…

Tried to adjust the idling last weekend,twisted the screw a little and the idling picked up but soon as i switched off and re-started it went back to around 650-700 i want to get it a little higher do i have to disconnect something first? By the way turned it back to what it was before.......

Help ! Only just got the Zed and i have a light tha keeps coming on the dash, it looks like maybe a section of exhaust with lines going upwads coming off it ? bit stuck as to what it is ? any ideas anyone ?

OK, the car has recently had engine and auto box oil change. All looked fine, except now when you start the car, and put it in drive, the car will stall. If you leave the car to warm up for a few minutes, it's fine. Does this sound like someones not put the correct type or amount of oil in, or could it be something else. I'm tempted to get the gearbox oil redone. Whats the correct spec and quantity of oil for the (Jap) autobox? Alex.

How hot does the plenum get? (in Celcius, 'very hot' is not the answer i'm looking for :P :D ) I'm toying with the idea of getting my plenum powder coated while the lumps out... anyone done this? Any drawbacks? any pics? Will it flake?

Just driving back from footy, had adjusted the boost contoller again a bit to see if I could tweak response a bit. My car was running fine, although boost was dropping off a bit due to the new settings, but I haven't gone over board on settings I don't think. Didn't touch the unit again, but hitting boost again a few miles up the road, car felt a bit slower. Slowed down and it flelt like it was running rough suddenly. At low speed the idle is not too lumpy but the car feels like it's running on 5 cylinders. It souns very rough and the engine is shaking a bit when you rev it. There is no smoke, can't see any pipes off at least at the top of the engine. What …

Right guy's. Tried a couple of other things on my tickover missfire now.. It only does this on tickover but when it revs above 2000 it goes away. The missfire is centred around the middle spark plug on the passenger side. Here's what i've replaced:- PTU (cheers Chunk) Injector connectors Coil pack connectors Swapped coil pack Swapped spark plug Temp sensor harness Carried out ECU diagnostic - code 55 Made sure all the terminals in the PTU plugs are connecting. Used an engine fuel cleaner (Forte) Has anyone got any more suggestions on this before I tear my hair out? Cheers Ivan

I've got a little problem and i think its an O2 sender, what would happen if i unplug them and drive about? will it brake anything with them disconected? will it run too lean etc? Cheers people Mathew [Edit as I can't spell]

I've had enough of being dripped on during the rain and now I have new leather I really need to sort the leaky rubbers out. I'm sure someone bought new ones recently but I can't remeber where from. Any Ideas ?

Happened to drive past a nice red zed when I was trying to get a space at the East Fortune airshow. Looked tidy on the drive by although never got a chance to have a proper look.

Get an upgrade package or have you got to purchase new wiring loom????? cheers Dave :confused:

I can get a repair kit for the master cylinder for £15.00 from Nissan. Will this fix most of the problems that are likely to occur and how easy would it be to fit? Thinking of ordering one as a precaution to get this thing working.

Ive got 2 4in tail pipes (i think its 4) and i need to quieten it down cos its a bit too loud, anyone know where i can get those insert bits that silence it, i test drove with someone who had just put them on and it makes a lot of difference i think, but cant find them anyway...not sure what the exhaust is but it is a straight through apparently Cheers, Rob

Hi all, Got a bit of a problem with the revs dropping below idle speed when slowing down - especially from 50mph+ speeds. It sometimes picks up again but often stalls (most embarrassing!). I can often avoid the problem by changing down through the box as I'm slowing down. This problem is definately worse since fitting Blitz BOVs on hardpipes. I'm pretty sure I've ruled ouut any chance of a leak. I've capped the points on the intake where the original recircs connected, capped the outlets from the recircs and connected my vacuum lines to the recirc vac lines. I've left the recirc vacuum connectors open - do these also need capping?? The BOVs seem to work ok but I…

Question.... Do you guys use the same LOW IMPEDENCE, TOP FEED injectors as us?

These are available on e-bay suggesting This is a Tuned Eprom chip from a Japanese tuner, the affects of the chip are as follows: Remapped timing and fuelling Removes top speed restriction, common 180mph top speed on standard engine and gearbox Increases Rev limit to 7300 rpm Removed Boost Cut, so you can increse boost up to 17psi if desired Fitting instructions included* This chip will give approx 75hp at 16psi boost. This chip was tuned on a rolling road facility using the appropriate programming in Japan to produce a chip that could be safely used by every Z32 300zx Twin Turbo engine 1990 - 93. Please note that …

Hope everything was ok, I wasn't driving so couldn't stop. David.

Anyone do these or 'know a man who can'? Got a black 300zx which needs a bit i think, its not too bad but little things like when you smooth your hand over the bonnet its got some roughness to it? maybe some t cut will sort that? but i doubt it.

Spoke to a nice lady about having the cam belt done at the Basingstoke tyre and MOT centre. She mentioned her son had one!!!! :D

What's the general concensus on these, are they good, bad or ugly?? And what do they cost.
