I have had a good look but can't find this. I know it should be 0.4 and 4.0 but was trying to find the 'how to' article?? Also the injector voltage one. Cheers guys.

I need some help as iv completely damaged my passenger side alloys a pair of G7 alloys (£600 a piece) and iv decided to change them all together im opting for some kahn RSC 1pc. These come in 18x8 but i wanna widen them at the rears coz im gonna be getting a wide arch kit whats the largest size spacer i can get without having the wheels come off Iv read previous threads about having nismo threads which are longer which can be fitted but i want another 2 inches minimum in width increased so it blends in with the wide arch. Any ideas guys Need to buy some alloys quick. Fas

The local Nissan dealer during an engine diagnostic check has said that the engine Knock sensor is defective. The part costs £180 and is very difficult to change. They also said the Turbos are now operating in safe mode. Can anyone confirm this, and has anyone got a sensor, where is it on the block and how do you go about changing it. Any help please. Car is a1995 UK TT. Thanks

I have just ordered (stock) rear disks and pads for £197.23 inclusive of delivery from http://www.partsdirectderby.co.uk/Parts_for_Japenese_Cars.html hopefully they will be here for tomorrow - MOT re-test Monday??

Hi guys, Can anyone remember which pins in the Consult Plug need to be jumpered to make the Z go into diag/check light flashing mode? I am getting sick to death of trying to turn the Pot. in the ECU at night/pulling back the carpet every 5 mins!!!! And is it just me or did the Z designers deliberately put the f***ing drivers side fuse kick panel in THE MOST inaccessible place they could find? I can barely test the fuses with a multimeter let alone trying to pull one out, plus as the car is parked passenger side towards the curb, I have to lie in the middle of the fekking road just to see the blooming thing.... ARRRGGGG! (vent mode: off) :p

I'm sure I asked this ages ago but I can't find it. What is needed to fit 555's and how much? I've still got the engine out so I'm very tempted... :p

Alright Guys. My Z is doing my head in...basically i have a brake shudder above 40 mph that is really bad, below that speed there is no shudder whatsoever, no feeling of warped discs from the brake pedal, the only thing I have replaced is the pads recently. OK Steering now, my inner sides of the front tyres are worn to near the legal limit, and when I look at the car wheels it really looks like the tracking is miles towing out so this would add up to the tyre wear, I have replaced the front tension rod bushes/steering rack bushes with the Energy Suspension bushes, but i havent replaced the bottom wishbone bush with a poly one. Is it possible that the tracking bei…

ok got a misfire when i boot it, plugs have only done 1000 miles i have checked all connectors, had a bad fuel fill 2 tanks ago, got some dett, went back to optimax, detonation then almost instantly went, have ran 2 tanks since. It feels for all the world like a plug or two giving in on full load, do i buy new plugs ???? could it be possible to have eaten them so quick??? Would the detting have shortened their life or am i barking up the wrong tree??? any help would be gratefully received

I replaced my rear transmission mount just over a week ago, I did not replace the centre prop shaft bearing tho. The vibration seams more noticable now, (unless its my imagination) Does it seam possible that due to the new, stiffer rear mount the vibration is more noticable ? Was the old one absorbing some of the vibration. Regards John

Ok I own a lightly modded 200sx at the moment and im thinking of buying a Z what bhp do they give as standard and what are they like on parts, are they easy to source and readily available? What sort of price Vs mileage should I be looking for? Thanks :)

Going to fit proper boost gauge, poss digital. What other gauges would be really useful? tia

Ok, tried to replace both the sensors today. Using a crow's foot from a local store, (spanner head with 3/8 drive connector), and several extensions, u-joint and some piping that was lying around. Spent about an hour on the pass side as I'd read that was easiest, then removed bonnet to make life a little easier. Anyhow got fed up with that, so had a go at the drivers side and managed to do it!!! Spent the rest of the afternoon failing with the pass side again. My spanner doesn't move much then seems to get wedged against the nuts on the manifold - that or it slips off. Taking extension straight up. I think the only pipe left to remove is the A/C one so…

Can anyone recommend a site selling timing lights for the Zed, ideally one with an added inductive sensor for connection to #1 cylinder..... or more so the power transister. Cheers

Can someone tell me where the link to the light upgrade is????

Found this site; thought that it could be useful to others here: http://www.twinturbo.net/ttnettech/tech.aspx

Hi all! First off I'm new to this great forum so 'Howdy Every1!' 8-) I drive a jap '90 Z32 2+2 TT Auto that is stock (62k miles on clock) and have been thru the wars in the last few days! *lol* About 10 days ago I was driving from Poole to London (~130miles) and 120 miles into the journey, she lost all power and I had to pull onto the hard shoulder (M25 j22-23). Immediately as I came to a stop the car died and has not started since. It was about 40degrees road temp that day and the engine was roasting, indeed because the engine was so hot and she didn't have her 3-4mins 'spin down' time the oil started to fry on the turbos and produced light blue smoke under …

Does anyone know the part number for an outer track rod end? It's for a 1991 Jap 2+2 TT.

Has anyone ever had strange noises coming from their HICAS?? It seems to only happen at motorway speed when going round slight bends... The only way I can describe it is as a hmmmphhh!! It's almost sounds like the tyres are rubbing the arches (which they're not). The fluid levels are all fine, and there doesn't appear to be excessive play anywhere, although I've not got anything to compare it to!! The noise is pretty loud - I'm convinced other drivers can hear it when I go past them!

Hi, where can I get front light bulb for dipped headlight. The car is an import. Does Nissan stock them or are they different from the UK? I seem to remember some thread about this before but can't be bothered doing a search. Hope to hear soon, Thanks, Geoff.

Well with all the bad news about at the mo, thought id tell you all some good. MoT was due so sent it off, always nail biting stuff on an older car especially one with such expensive bits, when they came back i could see the fail sheet, heart pounding out i went to see how bad it was, headlamp level low, sidelight bulb, number plate bulb!!!!!!! yahoo, $30 quid inc test and shes thru, LONG LIVE THE ZED:D :D :D

Got back to the motor yesterday to find my passanger wing mirror on the floor, just ripped/kicked/punched off- Am not a happy bunny at the moment! Luckily I found out who did it, so I had the very nice pleasure of going round to his house and 'having a little friendly chat'!! - He managed to see the light and he's going to pay for it to be fixed, which we both agreed was much better than him having his head kicked in by me. The trouble is it's a jap model which I've been told has a small heater built in that turns on when you activate the rear window heater (although I could be wrong!) as well as being able to electronically retract. Does anybody know wh…

Red Zed, maybe will change front end but in meantime will fit grille. Red? (Anodised Ally rather than painted steel) Silver? (Ditto) Chrome? :confused:

as some of you may know one of my turbos blew a few months back (only 2 weeks after buying the car:mad: ). i've saved all my money since and have as much as i'll have before i start uni next month. so it's coming to crunch time, and i'll be booking the car in to get done in the next few weeks. i'm planning on ordering the courtesy 60k service kit, as hopefully getting the parts fitted should hopefully cost less with the engine out. other than that are there any other jobs that are worth doing? i guess it would make sense to change the det sensor, as long as it isnt too expensive? does anyone know a garage that knows their stuff about zeds in the north kent …

Does anyone know the part number for the steering rack gator and advice on where to get one please?

Guys + Gals, I am seriously thinking of putting the ZED into storage as the gearbox is going to cost me close to a grand and what with the MOT being due (bodywork needs doing) and the tax running out, I am very very very short on cash, this is what the car has done to me! I earn good money but the car has really kicked my ass over the past 6 months, as some of you well know and along side the cost of living (renting), times are hard! As a reault of the increasing debt, and wanting to start thinking about buying a house as the house market is getting more pathetic by the day, I thought that it may be wise to store the ZED away in a garage for 6-12 months rather …
