A mate of mine has just had his gearbox back minus the linkage cover plate which I've fabricated for him, however I've tried turning the input shaft whilst putting it in various gears and I've noticed (in some gears) a clunking noise when it changes from a clockwise rotation to an anti-clockwise direction which suggests a lot of play within. The output shaft turns as it should though. Does anyone know if this noise is normal? Cheers Shaunmac.

Okay folks....I`ve already offered these targa straps free once and screwed up but I will try to be more reliable. I bought a set from AndyZ then found I had some already hidden under the carpet. So if anyone wants them, they are yours for the price of postage (I`ll weigh them in the office and mail them, then you send me a cheque to the value of postage). In addition, I`m buying JeffTT`s old rims, giving me a total of 8 (count them) stock Z alloys. I don`t have enough storage space so if I can do folk a favour its all good as long as you can come to collect. My assortment is as follows: 4x 225 stock rims with rubber (all legal tread) 2x 245 stock rims with …

The electric window on the drivers side features an automatic window up with one press of the button. I wish to disable this feature and want to know how to do it. The reason for doing this is because of my two kids. When I am working on the car (which is most weekends!) they like to help me. I am concerned that if they put their head out of the window and accidentally press the button... The window doesn't stop, even if there is an obstruction. So you can see why I want to do this. Your help is as ever appreciated. Colin

I didn't just road kill this guy........... .........I think I even made his car cry!! ..........another road kill sticker on the side of the Z............ :D The guy came 'hoooooning' up behind me and was all set to pass me and I floored it and waved bye-bye to him as I hit a 110mph on a small private road.........small dot in the RVM and he sat nicely behind me for about 5-6 minutes until I turned off....... :cool: Matty.

evening all!!! well, after owning my jap TT for some 14 months now, this is my first post - ffs!!! TBH everything I have needed to know I have found with a search, i've been kinda 'lurking' in the shadows!! Anyway, now I need specific help, I really should cough up my dosh to the owners ((((feeling guilty)))) Got some cash together, so im gonna treat the old beast to a facelift, i am going to order all the kit from the Z centre this week, a combination of different pieces from different kits. NOW, I know you are all gonna shout PPS at me, BUT there is just no way I can physically use them for a number of reasons SO does anybody on here know/have used …

Hi, my Z, 1993 series 3, imported from Japan, has a clear film on the inside of the rear window, is this normal?

Does a Z fit through a standard 2.15m wide garage door????

How do I post a photo on my profile can anyone help me??:(

I have got one of these I have taken off my 200sx, will it fit my 300zx?? Does the 300 have two actuators if so how do I do it?

Anyone got them ? What feedback ? Worth having ? What else is required if I go down this route ? Mark

Desperately need an Apexi Power Intake kit. Tried Paul at Whifbitz but unfortunately, he’s not expecting delivery for 2-3 weeks. Does anyone know where I can get hold of one? Car’s with a mechanic at the moment for a serious sorting, thus the urgency. Thanks

My car's having a respray soon, so I'm going to get my spoiler changed at the same time. At the moment I've got a spoiler the same as the ZC019, as seen on the Z Centre's page....when I get the new one on, does the old one have a second hand value?? If so, what's it worth, roughly?? Cheers

Guys Picked up my manual gearbox on Saturday. Thanks Topless for the recommendation. The place I got it from is an Alladins Cave of stuff. There were three TT's in various stages of break up. If there's something you need I can't imagine they haven't got it or can get hold of it. All I need now is the ancilliaries...........anyone got any ?? :D Mark

hi guys. i have a automatic TT and i have noticed something odd... when i drive around on short frequent trips or after a long drive on a HOT day i always leave the turbo time running so as to allow the turbos to cool etc. i have noticed on many occasions that after when i return to the car usually after an hour or so the car will not start. there is power but no ignition, almost like the imobiliser has kicked in if i leave it for say another hour it will start up no problems. i have also noticed that if the car doesn`t start if i put it in neutral (N) instead fo having it in PARK(P) it will start. Anybody no what is going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!should i be worried.

I test drove a 300TT on saturday, after a 30 min drive with the air con on full I got out and coulld see water dripping below the enginne. The water was cold to touch and tasted of only water. Is this condensation from the air con unit??????

I remember your friend sending me an email regarding these straps...then a bunch of stuff happened and I never got round to mailing them..... could yo send me the address for mailing these fine targa straps pllease? cheers

After a with an air gunned security nut (involving me losing my rag with it) I snapped a wheel stud. I have done this before ( I know , once is a mistake, twice is stupid) and the stud was pressed through the back of the hub, does anyone know if its the same on the zed. It was pissing down and the car was up[ on the jack, so I didnt take the time to look too closely? Any help appreciated Cheers Jock

Anyone in need of a right wing mirror, in working order with all the wiring etc... The reason I have it is, because I've just bought my second Z and the guy I bought it from, had ordered one wing mirror from a breaker and they sent him two. It's black, though can obviously be painted. I'm saving for an in-car DVD, so every little bit of extra cash helps!!!! Will accept the highest offer... Cheers.

Got a bit of a problem which i'm worried about. Got a jap 91 N/A Auto which i repaired the heater matrix on and have been driving. For some stupid reason i let my mate drive me home from a club as i was drunk and it was wet. going round a bend it slid out and one side knocked into a kerb. Front and back wheel on the passenger side knocked into the kerb. After that the tracking was obviously out so it didn't drive straight but this was the only problem at the time. Driving back a week later along the m25 and every time i went over a slight bump it felt like the back wheel swung me left or right slightly as if i had the 4 wheel steering but i dont. Since then its got …

Can you over tighten/tension the aux belts?? Ive tesioned them all so you can give em half a twist, but im sure theyre making more noise than before, not a worrying noise just sounds very windy under there, or will the quieten down in a bit or am i being paranoid again?

Does anyone know what mods I'd need to do to a US engine wiring loom to make it fit my Jap 300zxTT? Obviously i'd like to get one from courtesy because of the price. Has anyone replaced the loom with the engine in the car? Cheers in advance. Ben.

Just got the Z back from SE yesterday and it's running great. New ICE fitted and working well - life couldn't be much better! Then... Backing out of the garage today and I've caught a dustbin (left out by my neighbour!) between the rear wing and the wall of the house! No major damage to the paint, but I now have a visible indent in the rear wing above the rear wheel arch! :mad: :mad: :mad: Anyone know how I can get "inside" the rear wing to pop it out again. I assume that I need to go through the boot to get to it... Any help appreciated! Cheerz Steve
