anyone know where the tickover adjustment is?

Autobox has just packed in :cry: it wont select any gear and when it does come in for a second there's a bad grinding noise from the passanger side :rolleyes:

i hope danny/stuart reads this cos he will probably be able to explain my problem to you alot better than i will attempt to. big thanks to danny for running a conzult on my car at th meet last weekend, amazing bit of kit. all seems fine apart from lazy O2 sensors (surprise surprise!) and tps set at 0.2V i know that the tps should be set so that the voltave reads 0.4V but that gives me a very high idle. dannny said the tps is set up right to compensate for another valve/sensor/something at the rear of the engine which also controls the idle. where is this thing i am looking for? what does it look like, any pics please? will i need any special tools to get to…

Hi, A sheared tensioner bolt has caused damage 4 valves in my 300ZX TT. The garage I use near me are saying it is hard to say how much it will cost until they strip it, but are thinking up to £2k. I am think that given this, I may as well just get a recon, or low millage whole engine. Does this sound sensible, and can anybody recommend anyone in the SE east who can even strip it down cheaper, or who sell engines (I live in South West London). Cheers Andy

my jap auto tt is running oil pressure of 8 on the stock gauge !!! any ideas on why?-b4 it goes pop!

How do I fix this kick? In Hold my auto box is smooth, but when I go to A/T I get an uncomfortable kick when it changes to 2nd. The other changes are smooth. Is it possible to adjust an auto box? Thanks Mooch

Can anyone help us out with the size of the upper radiator hose. I need to buy a Greddy adaptor for a gauge sensor and I haven't got a clue which size to get it in mm. Cheers Chris

can anyone tell me please what is an air flow meter and how much is it for a 1993 uk tt manual and will the car start without it? :confused:

does anyone know where i can get a set of lowering springs for my zx, its already lowered i think its 35mm i want the rear lower so that the rear wheels sit jst under the arch!!! :confused:

what should a jap import auto tt's oil pressure be on the factory gauge?

Well, i was pretty sure i had to replace my prop shaft centre bearing but i took the car to my friends garage for a quick look. Turned out my exhausts were vibrating against the metal bracket that sits under the exhausts, where they meet in the middle. However, i reckon there should be a couple of rubber hanger thingys a bit further back. But there isnt. Anyone got any pics or a diagram which shows where there should be rubber hangers? Cheers Scott

will these fit a jdm zed? i thought H2 bulbs were required. i could be wrong though, i've seen so many posts on lighting i'm not sure of anything to do with lighting anymore. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2470833224&category=28644

Was just sent this to my website address :- I have recently changed the injector connectors on my 90na z also the temp sensor(ecu) and connector and the 2 connectors for the air (I think) sensors either side of engine (not the lambda) They were corroded, nissan told me the usual £600 wiring loom bullshit! However I located some connectors that fit, if you cut the locator off the sensor/injector or cut a grove in connector. They are from Durite (+44(0)1255 555200 http://www.durite.co.uk) part number : 0-012-71 (juniour jack 2 way connector) £3.02+vat each!!! Hope this could be of help to many z owners Simon Looks like it's wort…

Have had a balance bar chromed but as I was struggling to get my hands on a manual BB, I got an auto BB done with the intension of doing a bit of pipe re-routing until mine was done. However, I noticed a couple of things that put a dampener on the BB swap. Obviously there isn't an extra nipple on the end of the auto BB for the chucky pipe that comes from above the master cylinder. As shown in this pic. So as it is purely a vacuum, my intension was to put a T connector in one of the other pipes and connect it that way. However, this pipe seems like it can take some serious pressure but the pressure clips ain't that good so I was wondering if Nissan had just…

Just spent a few hours on the Z, changing the fuel pipes, a bit of a polish, topping up fluids, replacing a bit of rubbber for silicon and while I was out there I decided to bypass the AIV. Or atleast I think that is what I have done. Please correct me otherwise. John Dixon showed me how to do it on Saturday. Very easy proceedure. All you do is connect the NS FPR to the sticky out thing just on the right side of the plenum. Haven't been out in it yet but started her up and unless its my imagination, she seemed to idle a bit smoother than normal. Maybe it's all in my head but I will update tomorrow after having driven to work.

I have found these 2 clips on my inner wings one on each side. What goes in them? Or what are they for? Cheers Ivan

does anyone no if the panels which are on either side ov the rear seat the panels underneath the side window that is, just wondering if there is any holes behind them thinking ov mounting some speakers there.

On the A12 going up to Gallows corner, had your targa's off same as me! :D

I need some grill to protect my radiator, i need enough to fit to the front and IC side and front pods, all the DIY stores around here sell shitty chicken wire, I need something more robust that looks good, and does't impede airflow too much, o and i don't want to spend the £100 i was quoted for some stuff a few months back. :eek: :eek:

It seems that the simple solution would be to just route a piece of SS directly from the MC to SC, anyone disagree?
