My traction control seems to have gone a bit strange on me. Has anyone got a dat file (I think that's the format) they could send me ?: I have 265 x 35 x 18 on rear (eagle F1 tyres) 245 x 40 x 18 on front (eagle F1 tyres). I want to try this as a base setting then tweak it from there (once I figure out what I'm doing) stu@300zx-mods.co.uk Thanks guys

Hey Guys, The other night i took out my Z32 and you would be sitting quite happy around 2000-3000RPM then suddenly jump right up as if i had the clutch in, when i take my foot off the accelerator it goes fine again, this happened twice. Also she idles quite high when first starting her, could be linked not sure. Any Ideas?

Anyone who is going to Japfest and has purchased one of my mirror finish fuse box covers of me with the fuse/relay info on, any chance i could borrow it for promotional purposes. Unfortunately my next stock of these ain't due till end of next week see. cheers smithy

On the way to Cadwell Park today at about 9:30am there was a Black G reg Import with it's nose sticking out a drive way. Was it YOU!!!! Rich:)

Started doing my service today and changed 4 out the 6 plugs- but run out of time to do the last bastad two at the back with all the stripping down + the barbie needed lighting and my :duffer: Stellas were ready :dance: So, when I take off the old fuel filter- is there anything to look out for? Just wondering if I need to fill new filter with fuel etc- wondering if to avoid air in the system?? Oil change next- I take it thats a piece of pi$$?? Sorry for all the dum questions, but its my 1st time under the hood of the zed so bear with me :)

Is there some kind of switch that is actuated when you press the brake pedal that allows you to take it out of park ? Where abouts is it ? Sometimes I have to use the red over-ride lever. Thanks John

I'm in need of help! Went to go out in the Z this afternoon and started her up (not used for just over a week) and it started okay and sounded fine, then after about 50 yards it sounded like it was missing, popping...... ....And wouldn't go over 2000-2500 revs.... Went back home lifted the bonnet while running and 'wiggled' the TPS connection and the idle/running picked up and sounded okay, so I took it off cleaned it and put it back on, started it up and all sounded great, gave it a 'quick' touch on the throttle and it sounded fine.... ....went out of my road onto the open bit by mine and went to give it some stick, 2500 revs and nothing, no higher an…

Could any help with the date of manufacture of my zed, as I need to order a pcv kit and they do two kits pre may 1990 and post may 1990?

I was wondering if some-one could tell me what plugs I should be using. I have a 90 tt auto with a jwt chip and 14 psi, so should I be running a cooler plug or not

I still have the same problem, start the engine from cold, ticks over fast at 1-2000 rpm, then as it warms, slows down......then fooking splutters and coughs to a stall. My heater matrix blew recently, so i have overidden the the matrix heater pipes by joining the two pipes up on the engine bay side, no the the matrix inlet pipes, i've join the ones on the engine. Have i missed something? Another funny thing is happening, you know it has 3 inlet manifolds eigther side right, well the left hand side manifolds get very hot very quickly, whereas the right hand ones stay cold, and i mean cold, is this normal? I'm guessing not. Is these problems all related, see…

Shall I mount the turbos on the manifold first and then put the manifold on the engine? Or should I put the manifold in the engine first and then put the turbos on? Any suggestions?

hi, does any body know a nissan that had the number plate " c8tys " im trying to get in touch please help!!!!!!!!!!

STrange occurrence, My 300 is a non start- 2 things went to change the A/c belt - took the pas pump belt off, put on the new a/c belt , refitted a slightly dodgy pas pump belt, went to start her up , no go and the pas belt let go. now no pas belt and no spark Any one got any ideas, she was running fine yesterday.

I've removed all the rubber hoses as I'm bypassing them all. Now it's all in bits I can't quite work out where the metal lines under the plenum go to. Can I remove them both? I think they are mainly water pipes but there's a couple of vacuum type ones there that I'm not sure if I can easily bypass. Chris.

How can this be carried out mines a little low at presant cheers Dave

Just got back from a 50-mile thrash through the countryside, got out the car and heard a fizzing leaking sound, as if a fluid was trying to escape through a tiny hole, coming from behind the nearside rear wheel. It slowed down after 5 mins, but when I rocked the back of the car it started up again. I'm worried :( Any ideas?

Red Z TT Northwich, Pullin out of B&Q on thursday bout 6 ish...... Was it U?

im about to fit a new viscous fan,to do this i need to remove the shroud surrounding the fan , ive removed the upper screw below the rad cap, the one on the left is directly below the upper water hose!im doing a collant change anyway so that can come off.Do u need to be under the car to sepparate the upper shroud from the lower,i know its a dickhead of a question but i think its clipped together hope u can help cheers greg :)

Well, just been up to get my aircon charged up after getting my second hand compressor fitted. Whole thing went really well. (cheers for the compressor Jock, it’s working a treat :) ) Unfortunately, as the guy was testing it he noticed the aircon fan didn’t come on. He waited until the pressure was nearly up to 300 (psi I guess??) to see if it was on a pressure switch but nowt happened. When should this come on? Should it work as soon as the aircon compressor is engaged? Is there a way to test it? Is there something simple like a fuse that might have blown?? Frustrating knowing that it all works but can’t risk using it!! Cheers David

Need some advice on whish digital camera to get. don't need an all singin' and dancin' one. just need one with 3x optical zoom and at least 3mega pixels. Advice please Jase

I fitted my new rear shocks yesterday a very easy straight forward job took me an hour and a half and i'd never replaced a shocker before :dance: it has totally transformed the cars handleing the old shocks were completely shot! the springs on the car must be uprateded (blue) I'm a happy bunny today :duffer: just got to fix that water leak now why does it only start to leak when you turn the engine off? :cry: owning a zed is a real rollercoaster ride of emotions

My cars seams to be hitting a restricter about 7000 when I drive it hard,but when i take it up slowly this does not happen .Running with a JWT chip no boost jets ,done the pcv's in last 3 weeks but promblem was there before. come guys any idea no this one ,been left with my pants round my ankles at the lights lately by some pi55 poor cars :xxx:

Hi, I'm needing to replace my fuel pump, are there any recommendations as to what I should go for? Are any of the after market pumps better than the standard Nissan job? My 300 is standard apart from a JWT ECU and Apexi Boost Controller so no major fuel needs I guess. Thanks for you advice. John
