Hi, Having eventually got my Zed I am now after sorting out the ICE. I would love to fit get my 12 inch boxed sub in the boot but looking at the depth in there I don't think it will ever go in without it getting in the way of the blind Has anyone got any ideas or examples of the best way to shoe-horn a sub in. I have to bear in mind that I can't just build a smaller box as subs require a certain size box depending on spec etc. Cheers, Justin

Gonna do my 2nd oil change soon, gonna switch from semi-synthetic to fully synthetic, is it worthwhile using a flushing oil at this point? Whats the best f'synthetic oil to use? :confused: :bow: :dance: :duffer:

I currently own a 1989 300 TT, imported in 2001 but presumably it was one of the first on the road - any idea? Anyway, I am looking at getting a couple of things done to the engine, mainly the valve stem oil seals need replaced as I'm blowing a little smoke on idle. Also I am thinking of turning the boost up to 1 bar and believe the standard turbos have ceramic spindles and therefore can't take prolonged use at high pressure. I am looking to get a minor rebuild with the potential of replacing both turbos whilst I am at it with the steel spindled versions. Can anybody point me in the right direction of a good garage in Central Scotland who can be trusted to…

Q1.. Does any one know if you can buy individual upper cam bearings. I have a couple of engines with the right most bank (exhaust) suffering from excessive wear. I have been told that the bearing housings are machined in the factory to match the cams, and the housings are not transferable from one head to another. Say if I replace shell E2 with shell E2 from another head would this be sufficiant to maintain oil pressure?. Q2..If the bearings and the cam are machine matched at Nissan, then what happens if you want to replace a cam?. I know with mains and big ends you simply replace the shells but can some shed any light on this cam query.. The heads are fully stripped…

What could make the clutch go heavy? The change seems to have concided with some prat slamming into the side of me.

Will 265 fit on R33 alloys which are 9" wide? Or am I better off going for 255? Stuart

Has anyone done this? Is it an easy job to do? Anything I should watch out for? (just wanted some advice before I start attacking it with spanners etc) Thanks Ch

Does anyone know if the coil packs on a turbo are the same as a n/a ? The reason I ask that is Courtesy do show a different part number for the turbo and n/a. Cant think of why they would be different, but I just noticed that the turbo ones are £32 more, well, if they are different, will they still fit? and if they will fit, will fitting just one turbo one cause any problems? Thanks John

Hi, The Engine starts and runs :D :D :D :D But slight problem with the clutch! Adjusted it to it's fullest extent at the pedal! Bleed the slave cylinder and bleed nipple on inner wing, used a litre of brake fluid! The clutch just about engages and lets me change gear, the mechanic reckons I should get a longer arm on my slave cylinder! Opinions wanted?

Right... I just put my viscous coupling in the oven! Sounds daft but I wanted to check it locked up when it got hot. However, the hotter it got, the easier it was to turn by hand. To me, this sounds like a bust viscous coupling. Any thoughts?

About to order some Goodyear Eagle F1s for my Z (235/45zr17 front, 255/40zr17 rear) Before I do, are there any other brands I should consider? I'm only interested in grip (i.e. staying alive in the wet), not wear. A little sideways incident in the rain yesterday told me it was time to take the utter sh1te off the rear wheels once and for all...

My hydraulic lifters have always been a bit rattly, but have become excessively noisy lately and don't quieten down at all now on the way to work which is a 15 minute drive through town. They only go quiet after about 20mins of motorway driving. It really does sound like a transit van now on startup - has anyone ever had these replaced? Got an idea of cost? Very hard to live with this noise for much longer - I was thining about an engine oil flush to try to unstick sticky ones, but as car has done 109K I'm worried it will do more harm than good. Cheers Alex.

Outside Ikea in warrington on Saturday, flashed you but no responce :xxx: :D

hey guys i know this is a frequently asked question, have done forum search but cant find exact answers! so hear goes! my jap spec tt has done 60.000 miles now! have been getting intermittant blue/white smoke from both banks, mainly on idle and have been told a load of c==p comes out the back when i boot it! its as it someone drips a v small amount of oil into exhaust!! 2 months ago took balance pipe off to find alot of oil in manifold! so i changed pcv valves and hose to go to each one! but also de=catted at the same time!!!!! smoke still seems to be no better, if any thing now more constant, is there any thing else to check before i get some turbo's???? if…

my car seems to of dried out now after i washed the engine :nono: its running on 6 again now but i think its gone into safety boost it was boosting at about 14 now its at about 8 could this be safety boost? if so what do i have to do? thanks steve

My car has a tiny patch of missing paint under the front spoiler. I got the paint code (LP2 G) and went to my local Nissan dealer :confused: They said they'd never heard of it. Any idea where I can get some paint? I'd prefer proper Nissan stuff. It's a very dark metallic purple called Aubergine i think. Thanks again guys

I've been told to get Uk spec spark plugs in my jap-NA 300. I went to my local Nissan dealer :confused: and was quoted £84 for six plugs. I'm going to try a local motor store next. Is £84 way over the top? Also, what plugs should I get? I've been told NGK PFR6B11C Thanks gents

The dipped headlights on the Z are rubbish! I've adjusted them (up and down) which helps, but is there any way of adjusting them sideways? I believe that there is some kind of headlight conversion to improve the dipped lights. Can someone point me in the right direction? Cheers Ed

I've brought this one up before. Have spoken to the previous owner about the boost gauge which just sits at zero. He says that the Nissan dealer who replaced both turbos connected the vacuum pipes up wrongly to the control unit and they only way they can put it right is to have another Z to compare the installation with!!!!!!!! Anybody got any installation tips for me? Cheers Ed

im soon going on the rollers with my car but have a hesitation problem that i need to sort before i go what it is if i floor my car not on the road by the way when the revs get to about 5000rpm the car stutters badly and holds back but if i pick speed without flooring it hard it doesnt do it, it still has the import restrictor on it could it be anything to do with this.
