Hi, I have removed the EGR system on my Zed and believe that a few people have experienced detting at lowish rpm about 3K, once this is done? Did you have to get it remapped to get rid of the detting?

Hello all, I've seem this mentioned a couple of times so I guess someone must of done it, but has anyone managed to replace these without removing the hub and using a press? Thanks Darren.

Ive recently fitted a new battery, radiator and a secnd hand alternator to my N/A 92 Zed. Everything works fine, the voltmeter in my pillar pod says 14volts all the time etc. However, jut went out for a long spin with my lights on heater on and stereo on, when i started getting into traffic it cut out twice! The revs just dropped so low they cut out. I have noticed that with the heater on the revs rise at tickover to about1000, when the heater is swithed off it drops down to about 400revs then backup to about 600 revs. Is this too low ? If so how can i alter it so that it ticks over at nearer 1000 revs? Or could there possibly be something else wrong with it ? …

does any1 no if its poss to get a set of clear tail lights for the 300 like the lexus style ones.

Hello all again, maybe a really stupid question but if I put a UK speedo in my Imported N/A other than the boost guage not working would i have an other problems or would this just not work plain and simple, any ideas guys or shall I just try it and see, thanks, Richard. :confused:

I noticed my Z doesn't have locking wheel nuts. The alloys are only the standard 16 inch ones but I guess they might get nicked. Are regular locking wheel nuts from Halfords (or somewhere) ok, or do I need special ones?

Noticing the fuel gauge was very low this morning - I pulled into my local jet and put 45 quids worth of unleaded in. Pulled away and all was fine. About a mile and a half later revs drop and car starts stuttering and stalling. After furious pumping of the accelerator I can get it to tick over as long as I keep pumping the pedal. Car dies. Leave it for 10 mins - starts up fine. After a few juddery minutes down the road car seems to pick up and be fine again. another half a mile and car dies at lights. Many presses of pedal later I can get it to start and hop away from the lights. Then car picks up again and seems fine. Just managed to get home and car is revvin…

hi all just been looking around it seems from what i've found that the uk spec tt is the lowest power of them all??? uk tt man 280bhp@6400rpm 274lb/ft@3600rpm usa tt man 300bhp@6400rpm 283lb/ft@3600rpm usa tt auto 280bhp@6400rpm 286lb/ft@3600rpm jap tt 280bhp@6400rpm 286lb/ft@3600rpm so it seems that we have the lowest power 300 in the world but i do know that the fuels are different in all three countries uk 91-98/99 octane usa 89-97 octane japan 95-101 octane

I was about to get in my car and I dropped the key, it landed on my foot and bounced down a drain. I've got the spare key so I can drive it but the key that went down was the nicely shaped '300ZX' one which I really liked. Does anyone know if you can get replacements like the nice '300zx' one? If so, I can stop fishing down the drain with a magnet on a piece of string. As Victor Meldrew would say.. "I don't believe it!" Anyone know if I can get a replacement 'nice' key? :mad:

Since replacing my matrix, every time I start the car, I can hear the coolant filling up the matrix. It does this every time. My question is, should it be doing this? Is it supposed to stay in there or return to the engine/rad once the engine is off? Any ideas? Dom

How do you adjust the headlights, I did a search and got nothing from all the archives, has nobody ever asked this and I am just thick !!! I have tried turning the screws on the back but they just seem to spin and do nothing !!! My passenger beam is pointing at the ground !!! Cheers, Olly.

Does anyone know how much the starter relays are to buy? Are they a main dealer part only? After we managed to get mine out from under the wheel arch, it was sodden and heavily contaminated (what a place to put this particular part!!). Has anyone got one second hand? All help and suggestions accepted...... Chris :confused:

After a drive and when the engine is off i can hear the sound of water dripping. Its sounds as if its dripping onto the exhaust/AIV pipes and evaporates. I have had a quick look under the car and can see that it is coming from a plastic tube coming out of the bulk head. It tends to drip slowly for a about 5 minutes and then stop. I originally thought it was some sort of drainage pipe but after a quick look through the forum it looks as if a heater matrix pipe should be attached to it. The weird thing is the water level does not seem to have dropped, the heater works fine and no wet carpet. It has been like this a few months now, could it have causes any engine damage…

hi all i had a puncture and went to a tyre shop - i was told 210/60/VR360 kind tyres not made anymore - seems like i am gonna have to throw all original alloys + tyres and get a new alloy+tyre set.. ++ speedo will be upside down as well!!! has any one had the same problem ? i dont know what to do.... need some advice pls thanks

I've got a bit of a leak on one of the heater matrix pipes from the engine bay to the back of the matrix - I managed to get a socket onto the screw to tighten it up but I dont think thats done the trick - is is an easy hose to get hold of and is it worth changing the Nissan clips for jubilee clips for better clamping effectiveness?

Does the tt have different coil packs to the n/a ? Cheers John

Got an JWT single pop charger and tried fitting today having some difficulty due to its size (very tight fit) logged on and did a search and found a thread going back to august 2001 can somebody please put me straight :confused: is there some sort of aftermarket splash guards for these type of filters??? (or whats recommended??) where do i (if anywhere) attach the screw at the top middle of the cone?? any help would be appreciated cheers lads :D 1993 UK CAR

Where abouts does the battery ground to ? The reason I am asking is that I am going to replace the cable and wondering what length it is and is it a standard ring terminal on the end that grounds to the chassis. Thanks John

Talking about the engine oil cooler?

anyone fitted one of these to the Zed. Are they easy/cheap? Bit gimmicky because you still gotta use a key for steering lock and ignition on.
