I've bought a manual gearbox and it supposed to be for a tt can anyone identify it from some pics that i have? if so write your e-mail and i'll send the pics right away

Despite my efforts this week we have yet again reached a dead end. Any ideas? I have recently changed engine of my z but when it deccelerates it stalls or it revs at idle from 200 rpm to 2000 rpm. My mechanic has found that there is no signal going from the ecu to the fuel pressure regulator. When the fuel pressure regulator is given power indepentenlty then the problems seems to stop. (power to it is given straight from the battery randomly). Any ideas why the ecu is not giving power to the fuel pressure regulator? the ecu was fine before engine change. help!!!

I need to get some pads and possibly new front discs for my 91 zed. Up to now have been using standard TT pads from Nissan ( got at discount through friend ) but too expensive normally. Did b19rks offer cheap pads etc.? at some time in the past, or has my memory failed me. Anybody got any recommendations or options. just want equivalent, or better than standard not OTT upgrade, cost is all important. Cheers. :rolleyes:

Hi again all, I been looking for a strut bar for the front of my car, anybody know if a 300zx TT (90-94) USA strut bar would fit my UK model? Thanks, Alastair. :)

Took out the carbon canister in the bumper, to again smooth IC flow! After we removed the associated pipework, we were left with three hoses, one about 1 inch thick going into the front chassis rail. Two other smaller diameter ones returning back to the firewall! Am I right in presuming all of these need blocking off?

Seems a very interesting way to analize problems. http://www.motorvate.ca/mvp.php/510

Hooray! I got my Zed back today. Two months and 3 days after a git drove into me. Twice. (And failed to give insurance details so the lawyers are now involved - but that story will have to wait until the court case / website update.) Accident story is here What a nice man Gleaming in Linconshire today Even more silvery than she was before Coo look ... clean Just a few bits and bobs to finish off: refurbish the 2nd set of wheels, clean the targa bags, put the sub-woofer and CD changer back, new wipers, club stickers, rear gearbox oil seal, stop the squeaky belts and off to merry France! Oh - and get the list together for…

can anyone suggest what could cause this problem. havent used my zed for a year or so. started it up the other day and the speedo shot round to 120 mph whilst stationary, a chimeing type bleep started not unlike the reverse warning indicator but a different sound,more strangly than anything else i lost power steering and the auto box was playing up (changing into overdrive at 20 mph etc and slipping in first). then after a few moments all is ok. then a mile down the rd it all starts again!!! all these problems seem linked to one fault as they all happen at the same time....................... i thought mebbe an earth problem but not sure can anyone help???

Clearing out the side bumper to ease IC flow and pulled off the rad overflow tank! Couldn't see any way for ditched water to return to the rad is this the case, then I can just not put it back in?

Anyone fitted coloured dials & got a spare standard speedo one for a jap spec TT? Mine has some kind of strange stuff spilled down it by the previous owner. Cheers Roy. :)

Hi all would appreciate thoughts on the value of a 1992 TT Auto with warranted 12K miles on the clock. Overal condition refelects miles ie in pristine condition with leather interior etc black in colour car is original spec.

After a run out in the Z last night I looked down at the exhausts and noticed they appeared to have a small ammount of liquid coming from them. I am not sure if this was dirty water, oil or a mixture of the two. It was too dark to have a proper look. And how would I tell what the liquid is?, hard to tell with all the exhaust dust as well. Can anyone tell me what it could be if it was any of the three aforementioned symptoms? Cheers.

I've started to notice that when I'm manouvering at low speeds and full (or close to) left turn lock, I am getting a kind of clunk from the front drivers side wheel. First few times I thought I had driven over something, but now it's more and more consistent and noticeable, ie every time I use full left lock. There doesn't appear to be any noticeable problem on less acute turns (and therefore higher speeds) but I am starting to be concerned. Could this be related to new Poly bushes fitted just days before Macca's warning (though the arms checked out A-ok at that point). I also had a full 4 wheel steering geometry check soon after that, so unless they left a scre…

I'm after a JWT style dual pop setup but have a Blitz filter I'd like to keep and don't need the JWT ECU either. Does anyone know where I can get the bits to assemble my own? Pipe bends, dummy MAF pipe and fittings for a second Blitz SUS? Will 2 Blitz filters fit in the space? Also I'm broke so for free would be nice :D LOL Chris.

I have a 1990 jap NA 2 seater. For some reason the car seems to limit early in 3rd (about 6000 rpm), 4th (5500 rpm) and 5th (5000 rpm). I have no idea why this is happening and its really annoying!! I have only had the car a few months so i dont know where it was derestricted. I went to CRD (calder racing development) and they all seemed pretty stupid. I told them the problem, but they had to have a check for them selves. Fair enough i thought, get it on the rolling road! Nope, they took it out on public roads (5 oclock, pissing rain) to have a look. After the boy who was driving (i went with him) got the arse out twice and told me about how he took a customers E…

Hi All. MOT time and she's failed. Only failed on off side rear trackrod end. Can anyone give me a part number please, not sure until i check with the garage whether its the lower balljoint or the rear steering joint so both numbers would help. Its a 89 j spec so will the UK part fit or do i need to order a J spec part and if so who from?

hi all am pickin up car(90 t/t import) on friday and am having clifford concept 600 installed asap. has anyone dealt with companies called cartronics or sutton car radio. if yes wot was install like as there is big difference in price for same alarm and am a bit wary about parting wiv cash without knowing anything about installers cheers in advance nick

Im a fairly new 300zx owner. Ive recently bought a 1990 jap, manual, NA, 2 seater. Ive been interested in z's for a while and have always wanted one. I decided to go for the non turbo cos im only 19 and this is the first car ive insured in my own name. Anyway, i dont find the car particularly fast so ive spent a lot of time trying to find the best way of improving the performance. It seems that its not really that hard to get the car to about 280 bhp, but is it worth it? The car is gorgeous and it runs very well, but should i spend this kind of time and money just to get the car up to the kind of performance of a standard TT or should i just enjoy the car for a year…

Hi all, I've read tons of post on Z problems and some were close, but none were exactly what I'm going through. The Problem: Bad jerking and stalling at constant speed. No problems with starting, idling, or acceleration. I've replaced the spark plugs, injector wires, and knock sensor. I also had my Z on the MOVAC. (system that cleans the injectors) It's a 92 TT Automatic J-spec with 135,000. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THX

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to replace a steering arm on the rear hicas? I have read all the other threads on this subject, but some pictures, or an exploded veiw would be very usefull. And before anyone says, get an owners manual, i got one coming, but it may be a while before it gets to me!! Many thanks

I'm thinking about purchasing one of these & need a bit of advice off anyone who has one. People seem to rate them but is this about when your booting it or normal driving. Could someone give me a few coments on how they find the ALC. heers Roy. :)

I've got a pair of 1.0mm boost jets installed and my max boost is between 12-12.5psi. What about you?

My car used to run lean and now it runs stoich.Any ideas y?Do u trust those autometer a/f guages?Are there any other on the market

the rear diff offside seal is leaking, ive got a new seal (£7.00) ready to put in, am i right in saying that you can pull the driveshaft out (on spline) and remove old seal, then tap new one back in? or is there ALOT more to it than that? can some one please tell me how to do it or is it a job qualified garages? many thanks JIM..

Hi all, I have just bought a UK spec TT Auto J Reg ('90). I hear that a common problem on early model's is that the auto gearbox gets to hot. The car is a total origanal except for an alarm, should I go and get the rad changed, to stop this happening? Alastair.
