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

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Is there any way to 'turn off' or remove the lock that prevents the ignition key from being withdrawn until the engine stops?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

I have just purchased a Black front bit, that front bit between the headlights. The bit with NISSAN or Z on it! My Z is RED doh! Want to a) spray it red, what undercoat colour do I use? b)how do you get the Z badge off the front bit, without braking anything! Arthur

Hi Just had MOT done and its failes on excessive play on the rod that goes from the track rod end into the steering rack, N/S more excessive than O/S. Could anyone tell me how this can be corected as i have been told that they can be compressed back into the rack by machine, if not does anyone else have any advice on what i can do. Also does anyone have any instructions on the removal and refitting of the steering rack if possible, i have done a search but to no avail :cry: :cry: Many Thanks Dunk

I was going out with a few friends the other day for a bit of a spin. We drove about 30 miles up around the 100 mark, when we stopped a small amount of steam was coming from under the bonnet. After popping the bonnet i noticed it was coming from the back of the engine, (toward the drivers side) next to the bulk head, dripping down onto the exhaust. I couldnt see much in there (pipes and engine everywhere), so i let it cool down, checked the water level and it was still full!! I then went on to drive another 150 miles without a problem at all - still holding water, and no steam !!!!!! I seem to remember this happening on a particullaly hot day last year - d…

Silver Z in Montgomery Street Sparkbrook about 4 o'clock- just along from work- it was someone coming out of one of the works there. All I managed to notice on the way past was the cracked paint on the spoiler!! Sparkbrook seems to be a bit of a zed hotspot (compared with Leamington) I've seen two reds, a silver, a black and there's a nice white K reg UK at a house near farm park.

I was thinking about getting some Iridium spark plugs for my N/A 300. Loads of claims are made about more power (up to 10bhp more etc). Do they really make any noticable difference or would I need a dyno run to actually tell they were there? :hyper: Crraaaiiiggggg Daaaaayyyyvvviidddd ; Bo!

Black SWB auto, polished to a high shine, smooth tail, parked on a corner in Barcelona just off Diagonal... reg either BayZX or ZXBay, can't remember which since I spotted it at about 1am after several Estrella!

Anyone got any ideas on this, A friend oiled something under the bonnet to do with the throttle bodies? but unfortunately it hasnt cleared it. Basically sometimes in the morning there is resistance on the pedal and you push firmly and it clicks and goes. Between gear changes the throttle sometimes stays open and at sets of lights again pedal is stiff, and a firm push to click before IT moves. Any ideas gratefully recieved.

Got an auto tt z, when i get in the car & turn the heater on, the w'screen immediately mists up, taking 20secs or so to eventually clear, why is this? This only happens when the engine has been previously warmed up, not 1st thing in the morning.

When chunk took my car for a test drive before i bought it he said it was pinking and that was because it was running lean, wot does pinking mean? wots happening? he was gonna help me sort it out but obviously cant due to being in hospital after the op (get well soon bud). can you tell me where i can start to find the problem and fixing it? yaseen

what does pulling the handbrake up one click do? i know i read about it somewhere but cant remember. does this apply to import TTs? yaseen

hi guys wonder if you could help me. usually when i put my foot down on the accelerator the car would almost stop for a second before accelerating very fast. a similar thing would occur if i pressed the power button. however............recently.....when i put my foot down the revs seem to go up quite fast(normal) however the car doesn`t accelerate. it seems like the engine is trying to accelerate but no extra power comes out. HOWEVER, as soon as there is a change of gear (up in to the next gear) the car accelerates as expected!!!!!! I seem to get a normal / expected boost when i use the power button. i know this probably doesnt make any sense but does …

rather than pure speed i'm pursuing pure handling, so far going onto my car Eibach Springs KYB Shocks carbing struts (waiting) Rear - 275/18/35 eagle F1 on Oz 18inch leggaras (waiting) Front - 235/18/35 eagle F1 on Oz 18inch legarras (waiting) What other components when uprated will give a better road expereience, considering bushes and tension rods but have heard miied results. Then grouping it with traction control should make a nice controllable car. I think this probably needs a FAQ,

Well, tried another MAF tonight and still bloody detting! Could anyone with a conzult try to get a MAF voltage reading at 2000rpm, stationary please?! That would at least show me if I'm barking up the wrong tree! Better start looking for air leaks when I'm fitting my intercoolers then :cry:
