I'm fitting an oil pressure gauge and it comes with it's own sender. Where/how do I fit it? I presume I need to drill into an oil channel somewhere? Chris.

I need to get new turbo's fitted , without starting any rows can any one suggest a decent garage in the South , my only alternative is Grasshopers but that's like the other side of the world. Cheers Ryan

Just picked up my 300zx TT on Saturday - amongst the many extra gadgets on it is a round button on the console marked "Trig" (actually looks like "7rig"). I can see that Trig seems to be a PTU unit - any idea what the button is for?

I get drivers side tyre scrubbage on full lock and on a sudden uphill, and my front looks slightly lower than my rear. I'll be changing my 245 fronts to 235 which should help with the turning scrubbage. Do the suspension springs wear and sit lower over time? Would changing the shockers help too? Anyone got price for front Jap shockers and springs please? :) I only want stock. Cheers people ;) Pete

Hello, On my Jap Auto TT everytime I brake a red lights flashes up bottom left of dash saying "lights" is this normal as all my lights work so does this stop if a bulb is out?? Seems very odd. Cheers Ant:)

I have read the buying guides and thanks for the advice guys on my previous post.

hi guys, just pulled my calipers off and the pistons seem very stiff, was thinking of doing a caliper seal kit change, where can i get this kit from?? cheers dewi ap

Does anyone know of a cure for excessive wind noise from the driver's window at high speed? The seal seems to be fine and the noise appears to emanate from somewhere where the glass edge meets the B pillar. Before getting a new seal is there anything else I can try? Thanks

Got my 91 jspec through the mot last saturday & there was a bit of a blow where the rear end of the exhaust joined the cat on one side. Whilst looking at it on the ramps & worrying about how much new cats might be he said mine didn't need cats anyway. Is this correct? Turned out not to need cats anyway.

Anybody used turbosport in Bedfordshire? I see in JP that they're offering hybrid turbo's (19 psi) fitted for £1395. Also do a full blue printed 15 psi re-build for £2585, & 20 psi inc lightened flywheel, low compression re-build for £3290. Wondered how this compares to SE?

Hello all. Does anyone know if this can be done. My cars a Jap auto and I persume the donner car is also Jap but normally asperated. I Figured that the ECU will need changing for a TT manual but apart from the obvious changes is there something which will put a spanner in the works (so to speak). Cheers Steve

Help me! Can anyone tell me where the fuse boxes are on my z? Problem is, and i've only just noticed, is that when i switch my ignition on, the battery and oil light does not illuminate, only the hicas, handbrake warning, and door warnig lights. This isnt right, but i cant find any faults, so i thought i'd start with the fuses, but the only ones i can find are under the bonnet, there must be more Thanks in advance:confused: :confused: :confused:

Hello You know i was thinking about getting a z? well its more likley now as a rover pulled out of a junction on me last friday and killed the prelude. Just waiting for my money and i can start too look :)

OK it looks like its time for you all to have a laugh.. Went to use reverse and all I got was a metalic klonk and nothing. Any one know if the box is dead or can it be fixed

Could anyone help me in setting up a website for my car parts ???? Obviously I'll pay for any help I get. I just need a simple 2 or 3 page website, so nothing complicated. Thanks Andy (geewhizz@onetel.net.uk or 01634 221783)

hi guys i have a turbo auto zx and for some reason the gear changes fine from first to 2nd but is starting to take longer to get into 3rd but it does go in and the kick down work v good is my gearbox about to blow or what......

Having read all the posts over the last week or so... .....I've found myself being drawn into the prospect of owning a Zed. Are there any experts out there that can help checkout a car I'm thinking of buying. Its is located in Guildford just off M25. Happy to pay your expenses! Don't really want to use RAC/AA as they will probably just tick the boxes. Any advice appreciated. Cheers Martin

Does anyone know what colour the speed singnal wire is on a UK TT. I`ve got this diagram for a J spec, not sure if there the same. http://www.geocities.com/wickedz_99/DIY/turbotimer/blitzecu.jpg I`m wiring in my turbo timer. Cheerz. mickey

I have a nice new set of Azev 'M' wheels, 8.5 front and 10 for the back. They have an positive offset of 43mm. Now, I am not an expert, although I kind of understand the theory behind offsets, but, will these wheels fit on a Z OK? They were bought for a Toyota Soarer which I sold, and as far as I can gather this is the same fitment as a Supra. Will they fit a Z? I know one or two people here have Azev 'A's. Is the offset etc for these the same?

Right traction, how much traction am i loosing due to my tyres, dont get me wrong they are not slicks, but as the car is an import i would suspect as i aint changed them, that theyre a hard jap compound tyre, and i get very little traction: eg dry road, tyres warm, boot it in 2nd and all hell breaks out and it drifts sidewards wheelspinning!. If i boot it in the rain or wet conditions it will do this in 4th gear!!, now this is all well and good for the fun factor, but a bit aggravating when you want to make progress, so how much difference will diff tyres make, or am i wasting my money, am i wrong, maybe all non standard zeds are like this, will it have to be traction co…

Iv been looking around for a triple gauge pod (60mm) Iv only been able to find a 52mm triple gauge pods. Any1 know of where i can get 1. Cheers Fas

Pleasse can anyone tell me where the speed sensor is located. My Z is a 91 model auto. I've got a problem with my cruise control and have been told to check the speed sensor. Is is easy to get to? Thanks for your help guys. kash

Guys, just a quick one. For those of you who have had bonnet bulges fitted, where are you washers located now for the windscreen. Mine are on the Cowling just below the windscreen and I find that the water then squirted only hits the wipers and not the screen. I have tried to adject them but I don;t think they are adjustable. Anyone else had this problem ?
