I have the standard Nissan radio unit and don't get any sound from the front speakers. I pretty sure it's not the radio since I have swapped it with another and get exactly the same behaviour. I've check the resistances from the conector that plugs into the radio and get 4 ohms each side so it looks like the speakers and loom are OK. I also get a bit of a hum from the front passenger side speaker even with the radio switched off. I thought that the body shop might have disconnected something when they replaced the driver side door, but then I would have still expected to get some sound from the passenger side speaker Anyone got ideas because I'm preple…

I have looked around my engine and cannot see it anywhere. Can someone tell me where i can find it please. IT's a 94 tt import if thats any help.

I have been quoted £500 to replace the rear brake lines on my 92 tt auto UK spec Z, apparently the subframes have to be dropped and the transfer box removed. Does anyone know if this is right or is there a better way(cheaper).

Any one know where I can get a car jigged in the North West area? Preferably in Liverpool or Manchester area. Or Wigan/Warrington/St. Helens way. Thanks Stuart

Hello all, I have just taken some readings from my throttle position sensor and wondered if any of you could confirm wether my problem is the sensor itself or the wiring leading to it, going into the side I have white/red 0v green/red 11.9v and white/black 0v, coming from the bottom I have Black 0v white 0v red 0v and moving the sensor itself made no difference to any reading, car symptons are that when slowing down for corners it sometimes dies on me, the car itself is a 1990 n/a automatic, cheers Richard.

My rear brake lines that run up and over the rear axle (tranfer box) need replacing before next MOT, I have been quoted £500 due to the subframes need dropping and removal of transfer box. Is this right? or anyone know a better (cheaper) way, your help will be much appreciated. I have a 92 TT auto UK spec.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone knows an easy way of wiring up a remote engine starter inside the engine bay. I would still want the key in the ignition, in the 3rd position. I just want to be able to start the engine without bothering to move from the engine bay. Cheers Vijay

Just want to see if there's any interest in these units - http://action-replay.co.uk/MobileComputing/Products/Tracker.htm The way they work is quite simple. It's a small box which you install into the car (12v supply needed) and then a gps unit is plugged into that and left in your glove box or somewhere indiscreet (or you can get the high sensitive GPS unit which is a bit more expensive but can be hidden anywhere). To track your vehicle you simply dial the sim card number from a normal modem (not broadband) and you will have a map with current location of vehicle, you can track movement at all times. Advantages: Track your vehicle at any time. No …

as a condition of my insuranc i have to have a tracking device fitted for them to insure against theft, but they are bloody expensive n i might never even have to use it! at th moment i have just a cat2 immobiliser fitted. 1st q: can th car be stolen without it being... un-immobilised? 2nd q: if not should i just invest that money in a v good alarm + immobiliser?

guys im going to get the tracking done on monday, do i need to go somewhere special or ask for a specific way of having it done because of the hicas? anything els i should have done or checked while im at it? Yaseen

???? :D

Can I just ask if your alarm ever closes the central locking when you're in your car and you turn on the ignition. I know it has this feature but mine only does it now and again (I'm sure this feautre is turned off). It sometimes does it when the engine is running and the door is opened, then closed. Vijay

GIVE this lot a sticky thread and a write up. Plenty of good reviews and having just got quoted over £400 less than anything else along with several other members recently by the looks of recent posts, it has to be plugged. More we give them the better chance of getting a members deal etc. :bow: £20 subscription to save over £400... you cant get that in an ISA ! :rofl:

Driving home from work this afternoon my zx tt started sounding as though it was'nt running on all cylinders checked under the bonnet and there was a strong smell of fuel opened the oil cap and it stinks of petrol any ideas on what it could be (ps thanks for the help on my hicas light problem sorted) mellow yellow (1990 yellow 300 zx TT auto)

I have a GREDDY Full auto timer which I want to put in shortly. I have a toad ai606 alarm (like most on here) Will it work ok with the alarm?

Is there any way to 'turn off' or remove the lock that prevents the ignition key from being withdrawn until the engine stops? I've got an HKS timer and it really annoys me that I have to sit for 4 minutes in the car until I can remove the keys. When I do leave it running I always need to stay within sprinting distance just in case someone walks past! It seems to defeat the object of having a timer really...

Spotted it yesterday (Thursday Feb 26th) Sounded nice - are you likely to be around again? Malc h
