talking aircon I've got a jap-TT with aircon, but I can't seem to make the air come out of anywhere other than the windscreen vents. Nothing comes out the side vents or the under dash ones. Result = frost bite in the toes and red head ... I've tried every combination of button pushing I can think of. Am I missing a buton somewhere or has a fan/pipe/valve/heater matrix/what-ever gone?? all the dash controls appear to be working fine. lights come on when pushed etc. aircon is responcive to temp changes, but no air flow other than windscreen vents Any ideas :confused: Cheers Mark

Hi, Firstly I would just like to say that I love my zed after 3 days of driving it, the best car I have ever owned and found out today that I can lower the rear of the seat as well as the front, dead clever that although it is now like I am sitting on the road with a tuft of hair sticking over the steering wheel, cool though. I got about 250miles to a full tank, is this normal? If so, anyone know of any cheap petrol shares? Secondly, where can I get some small 'www.300zx.co.uk' stickers for my rear windows, I seen them on another zed and they look really cool. Third, I am taking out my stereo tomorrow and need something to fill the other gap where the…

doe's anyone know any where i can have my auto transmission over hauled at a sensible price...its a low milage box so it would need slight attention....and is there any way of cleaning or freeing a sticking gearchange soleniod...my second gear is not functioning due to a soleniod possibly sticking...as box overheated during a long run...Cheer's

A little while ago someone was saying about a fault where (whatever it was) cut off the fuel because it thought the engine wasn't running, or something like that. Can anyone remember what that was? Sorry its a bit vague, but its all I can remember.

Hiya, Carrying on from my post about selling my Zed yesterday, I've been thinking for a while that I could actually use it instead? For thos ethat didn't see my post yesterday, I'm seriously thinking about getting rid of mine because I don't use it. I do a 110 mile round trip to work every day and I use a Mondeo, so my Zed just sits around gathering dust and costing me money every now and again.. Bearing in mind it's got 79500 miles on it already, how do these cars stand up to the kind of mileage I have to do every day, if I were to ditch the Mondeo and use the Zed? Am I likely to experience engine trouble in 10K miles or so? Thanks for your help.. …

Hi all, This is my first post on this very active forum. So far the only active forum about 300ZX’s I know. So a small introduction would be appropiate. I’m a 21 year old student. I study Civil Engineering in The Hague (Holland, I’m Dutch). It’ll take another two years before I finish my study. Hopefully i’ll get a job with a decent income. My second car that’ll buy will be a 300ZX TT, at the moment I dont have a car. But when I finished my study I’ll buy the car currently owned by my dad. That car is also a Nissan, a Nissan – Laurel (C31). Build in 1984, 2,4L and 115 bhp. Check out http://www.datsunworld.com >models>C31, the fourth car on the top-row, f…

Hi, I have spoken to Bosch UK Technical Dept about a higher CC replacement for the Zeds injector! They say they have found a higher CC side feed injector ( the EV10 series), but without the actual physical dimensions and impedance of the ZED injector being available they cannot help me any further! Can anyone help? Also does anyone have contacts in German 300ZX forum as they would have probably sourced one by now if anyone would! Mark

As I am completely computer illiterate,can anyone explain to me -very simply - how I get an avatar cos I'm embarressed by the blandness of my posts;) cheers Adam

Hi, I used to register as ChrisF but had to re-register for some strange reason... Anyway, I haven't been on here for a while but was wondering who owns my old black Zed.... I sold it to Senna (Glenn in the I.O.W) and I believe he sold it on..... Does anyone know whos got it and if so do they come onto this board..> Cheers Chris;)

Hi everyone.. I drive a "92ZX tt manual in Singapore.. Currently I'm facing some problems with my Zed doing sharp cornerings at high speed... and during launching.. I find that my tail is swaying.. I had been told by friends that removing the HICAS will solve the problem.. I had been looking at some HICAS eliminator on Ebay with Stillen specs.. but none could advise me on how to properly install the eliminator. I do have my own garage.. but my mechanic had not installed this before as Zed is a rarity here in Singapore... and furthermore, there's only two twin turbo 300zx in this island which the other is an auto transmission.. Could anyone advise on the installation, …

Hey like to say that i now own a zed!! (down side is dont pick it up till the 8th of march!!) its a jap import 1995 twin turbo just one querry so far (im sure there will be more in time!) there was no boost gauge in the car is this right for the later model cars or is there something strange going on??

A funny occurence and a question... Was trotting into the office today, behind an Escort, no geat rush. Didn`t see behind but a Mitsi Evo VII trying to make a point blasted past, engine screaming away, when a plume of blue smoke appeared from his tail..posible turbo seal perhaps...prat. Anyways, my zed with mods has around 430BHP. How do you folk think it would cope with an Evo or M3/M5 on a 0-60 basis. I am a bit of a grandad and very rarely use the turbos but do get a bit annoyed with the M3 factor, ie getting as close as possible to your rear bumper before overtaking. Stock 0-60 is about 5.6 secs with 280BHP, so how fast do you reckon a Zed can go with 150BHP…

If you edited your windows hosts files please reset them, there will be more DNS changes in the coming weeks and your hosts files will conflict with them.

Hi, Does anyone know where I can get a polishing kit (different mops and paste) to fit a bench grinder got polishing various bits in the engine bay? Cheers Vijay

Great to see the site back! Did anybody manage to get that link to work with 216.171.70.3 cos I fu**ing couldnt? Mark

Hi, I cannot seem to post attachments here otherwise I could shoe you a photo of what I mean???? Why is this? It says I am not allowed!! I took the aerial off to fit a new mast as the old one broke. I managed to remove all the old mast and plastic tie rap like part that coils up inside but when I went to feed the new one down whilst turning the stereo off, it made this awful clunking noise and when I opened the motor up, the small cog that the main motor shaft turns could not sit back down on this shaft to reverse?? Why is this, does anyone know?:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Ok, the picture is of an original Z dipped light lens, out of all its housing, (awsome magnifying glass). Not saying that Nissan spent all the development cash on performance BUT! When a light sourse is held behind the lens it is magnifyed ok, but the distance between light & lens is, how can i say crucial. As an engineer it begged to be solved! > EXPRIMENT 1 = lens / plastic tube / maglight. RESULT = a dull blur in the garden - to - lighting up a bathroom 140yds away, depending on distance light/lens! > Conclusion.....The bulb in the light unit is TOO FAR AWAY from the lens. (Will not say how far in thou' obviously). > > Who amo…

does anyone know why I get slow quiet bleeps, like the ones you get when you open the doors with the lights on, this happens at 110 mph+ ? on private land of course!!!!!!!!! 91 jap import tt ps speedo conversion to mph and de restricted of course.

right im not terribly mechanically minded but i think i have a powersteering leak, when i first got the zed back in november i had to top it up a few times a month, nothing major, light would go out for a few weeks or so, now when i top it up the light comes on the next day and it makes a rather strange noise near that area, it seems to be leaking near the front drivers side wheel under the engine but i cant see where from, is there any likely places to check or am i best taking it to a garage, i look under the bonnet and just get a rather bad feeling its gonna be expensive.

Am I going mad ? How do I get to the bulb to change it ?
