Hi Guys n Gals, Just bought myself a 1990 Jap spec TT but have had a possible problem pop up which i hope somebody can shed light on. When i have been sat in stop start traffic for say 30 mins and then get to an open bit of road, i stick my foot down and it seems to be in saftey boost. The boost seems fine in all other driving conditions apart from this. Any idea's? (Caused me to get blown away by a Golf VR6) Also, do you guys know where i should take my car for any work in Bristol. I have been using a Jap Specialist near Bristol but when they said my 5inch Twin Exhaust Pipes looked stock when even a muppet knows stock pipes are quads i lost a bit of con…

Hi, just wondering. I know usually when the speedo on an import is converted,that it usually derestrict the 112mph limit. Now are these cars still subject to the 155mph limit that the uk cars have, and if not, how far up the speedo will they reach? :confused:

When it's wet or if I do a fully blown take off in the dry with lots of wheel spin, I tend to get a lot of axle tramp. Does anyone know a way to solve this without having to remove the rear subframe to get to its bushes? Z1 motor sports sells G.D. subframe spacers......any good?? http://www.300zx.com/Products/PerformanceIndex/SuspensionIndex.asp Cheers Jon

Managed to fit my new wheels today on the Z. Just wanted to post up some pics so whoever may be interested can take a look. The wheels are the Asev AS split rim and I really think they look great on the car. I had them refurbished at lepsons and I can't knock the quality at all. Cheers Chris

Right i was offered some OZ wheels in white but prob was, was that the studs don't align can you buy a spacer or somthing which will make them line up as they are really tasty and sooooo cheap

I attempted to fill up the air con last night as i was filling it there was a hissing noise coming out from the front right of the engine. Is this a problem anyone has heard of? I have also noticed that there is no belt on the Air Con Compressor.

How much do you chaps pay for servicing? I was quoted around £300 by our nissan dealer here for a full service including all the parts etc. I can get it done cheaper of course using my local mechanics, but i would like a few "nissan" services to get the stamp in the book etc, i feel it will better when i come to sell...unless you guys are going to tell me it means *****cks all, getting the dealer stamp? :confused:

Up until recently, my indicators were working great. Now the front indicators are flashing extremely quickly as the rear nearside indicator is not working. Thought it might be the bulb, but I have swapped the bulb for the other side and it still doesn't work. :( Would the fuse for this indicator be on a different circuit and therefore has a fuse blown? HELP???

Just to let everyone know that my move went well and I'm ready to start selling Z parts again, although there maybe short delays in posting bits out as its still a bit chaotic with the house move. Thanks AndyZ

right ill try to describe this one best i can, jap cars come into the uk with klm clock dials, the import guys remove the klm face, put a mph one on and attach a black box to the back of the speedo to calibrate it. The american zeds have mph speedo but only go up to 160mph (ours are 180mph) can we get one of those black calibration box's that attach to the back of the clocks that convert the uk 180mph to 160mph dial face??? the only reason i ask is that i bought some indiglo white face dials from the usa and they look fantastic in the car and are real good quality, the faces are in 160mph (i did know this before ordering but was prepared to ignore th…

The white connector on the photo. It's at the rear LHS of the engine bay. It's not plugged in and very dirty so maybe not been plugged in for a long time. Is it the super-boost Evo-demolishing circuit? Or the connector that stops the irritating final wipe of the windscreen wipers when you turn therm off? Maybe it's the connector that will get my F***ing headlights working?

I've had the T Top seal done few weeks back, but when it rains water comes in onto seat just infront on T Top seal, all drainage pipes from roof are ok, any ideas, apart from stripping all the roof linings out and running a hose over it.
