Anyone know roughly how much it is for a new front bumper + fog lights from Nissan GB ? For a 92 Jap spec ! Just a rough estimate would be nice - :o Thanks for any help - Mike

Have any of you had experience with buying from Northern Ireland? Are there any traps to watch out for or are the cars usually a bit cheaper from over there?

Hey everyone new to this site it's very usefull. Here is my problem if anyone can help, when i first start the car it idles as high as 2000RPM for quite a while. When i does come down it sits just over the 1000RPM, is this normal? Anyone?

I just wanted to say that I got my ASEV AS rims back today from the refurbishers. I used Lepsons and I can't recommend them enough. They came back completely mint and the service and turnaround was fantastic. Only took a week, which isn't bad for split rims. They aren't the cheapest around but I guess you get what you pay for. So if anyone needs their wheels refurbished then give them a call. 01634 580582. Cheers Chris

i've done a search and recommended some gear box oil can i get it at halfords? where do I put it? ... no rude answers My zed's gear stick, is really stiff, especially in the morning, before i start driving took me good five minutes to get it into 1st gear, blooody knackered now... after that while driving it has been absolutely fine :confused: or might it be my clutch? will it ever bloody end? if this might be serious :rolleyes: tell me dufflecoat where are you?

How do the wires for the battery terminals fit? My terminal have had and don't grip to well to the battery. So ihave found some new terminals from my local Maplin store for £2.99 will the stock cabling fit to these? http://maplin.co.uk/media/largeimages/30217i0.jpg

Got in the Zed today and noticed a huge hissing noise. Opened the bonnet and it was air coming out from around the passenger side turbo. Anything from around there that is know to leak?

Hello all, Does anyone know the diameter of the main air pipepipe that i have to block off when fitting my dump valves as i need to get a cap of some sort to block these off. Thanks in advance Anthony

If I drive my car from cold all is well untill about 20mins into the drive the boost will cut to around 6psi if I switch the car off and let it stand for around 20mins then restart the car is fine untill it warms up again, does this sound like a ptu prob?? I have the standard series 1 unit fitted :rolleyes:

Anyone ever had a tailgate skin made up to hide the hideous tailgate after the removal of the standard rear spoiler on my 93 uk 300. I have seen the ones at the z-centre but as usual i aint budgeted for another 100 quid so hopefully this is gonna be the cheaper option. Cheers Guys John Crisp

Ever since owning my Z, the cruise control has never worked. It has had an auto to manual conversion (done before I bought it) so can only assume it is something to do with that. Has anyone got any ideas as to what I can try to get it working? :( Going on holiday in 5 weeks so would like to get it sorted before then if possible.

Is there a good site for the 31? A mate of mine needs a second hand fan for one. Cheers anyone who can help.

Does anyone know where i can get the polished speedo rings from? I thought had seen them on Smithys site before but can't seem to find them now. :rolleyes:

looks like they were both in for repairs at sturgess on aylestone road, a dark blue one and a dark grey one anyone on here?

My horn and Cruise have both stopped working in the last few days! All fuses and wiring from Steering wheel boss appear ok, so do the sprung contacts behind the wheel. Any ideas anybody??!! :(

Does any one have a photo of the mounting of the engine oil cooler ? I'm looking for some ideas on where the thing is bolted to the chassis, to give me some idea where I could bolt a new cooler that I am going to get for the autobox (I dont have an engine oil cooler - Import) Thanks John

Anyone know what the TPS voltage on Pins 34 and 35 of the Autobox ECU should be? as i'm getting the same voltage everywhere BUT the Autobox ECU pins for the TPS. so its 0.4V at the TPS 0.4V at the ECU but only 0.1V at the Autobox ECU unless i unplug the ECU then its the correct voltage. Dose that sound like my ECU fooked?

Funny problem, sometimes when driving the z, I would be accerlerating and my car will jump from about 3500rpm to about 4500rpm and then back down, this feels like the car gets a sudden surge of power as you can hear the revs going up, but the power doesn't seem to come through until the revs actually go back to normal. The clutch feels fine, and I have had my turbos re'cond recently (the problem was there beofore the recon aswell). What can this be???? Cheerz

ok, for my service im changing plugs, I can't really find the information i need on here NGK code is pfr6b-11 there are ratings for standard cold hot what is the difference between the three, the best one to use, and the pros vs cons :D

ok Ive just fitted an alarm with auto-remote engine-start. the problem is that the Zed usually gets a little "left foot squirt" on start up but when the remote starts it with me obviously posing whilst walking up to the car(!!!) there is no throttle and sometimes it doesnt rev high enough to hold the start. Any way of turning the idle up a little??

I guess as the stock gauge isn't that accurate and i will eventually fit a boost controller i need to fit and after market one....... Which is best electronic or mechanical and how easy are they to fit? Also has anyone any photos of a fitted one other than on the piller? Finally which is the smallest one i can get? Cheers

Does anyone know of a place where I can get a complete set of bushes for the car ? I missed a set on ebay but am hoping there's a source in the uk ? Cheers Mark
