Hey all, Is this normal? - My brake pedal makes a hiss noise when I press it, like air is being forced out somewhere :confused: . It does it at all times, dont think performance is poor but then its done it since I've had it. Cheers for any help Pete

tried changing the shoxs on my car yesterday.. WHY IS NOTHING STRAIGHT FORWARD? started on front, undo bolts at the top, undo bolt at the bottom, prises shock out only to see the hub jump up several inches. upon looking at the hub and seeing that it has moved upward because it is sprung by the anti roll bar, i see that i am already doomed to fail as there is no way on this earth that i will be able to lever the hub down far enough to bolt on the new shock.. however i'll worry about this later as the old shock has a knackered bump stop and a shagged dust cover so new ones must be found.. trip down to halfords, " u got any bump stops? or universal dust covers?" …

What's a goof place to siurce sparks plugs at sensible prices and are irridium plugs any good for an essentially unmodified ancient TT

Ive just spent 6 hours cleaning the engine with a toothbrush! Worth it though, I thought the bay was black but its red! Oh and dont do what i do, leaning over the engine squirting carb cleaner whilst smoking a benson! :D

Thanks for the advice of the calipers. They were on a helix so turning them did do the trick. Funny thing is, at one point it got a bit scary cus I had bent a rachet extension, snapped a screw driver in half and broke a 4" G-Clamp in half to I assure you, the information was very well received. Cos

Have been doing a bit of back to back testing and thought this may be of interest to any zed guys thinking about an induction kit. Having tried the following: 1)K& N filters that fit in the original air box (no goose honk sound) 2) K& N induction kit single mushroom filter (goosehonk sound) 3) Self constructed twin intake + two high flow filters Tried option 1 for two months found a little difference but was running standard boost at time. Option 2 Tried for 1 year after wirjh JWT and 14 Psi , much better tghan in box filters but goose honk sound started after a few weeks ? was it the filters or the extra boost or the air bno…

Does anyone know the best stuff to use for removing twin-pak overspray? I don't mean T-Cut but something like cellulose thinners. Cellulose thinners works but I'm sure that there must be something easier. Thanks Tim

Hi everyone.......My car was running fine when all of a sudden it started to drive really rough. When ever i stopped it was almost stalling and accelerating in any gear made it kangeroo down the road!! i am just about to go and check all the pipes under the plastic cover, and also the boost hoses for any leaks. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

hello boys!!! Firstly i HAVE done a search, but cannot make any sense of the many results - doh! my first mod will be 3 x gauges in the zed. Quicky learnt that stock cannot be trusted after conflicting conzult redings for temp gauge - worrying. I would like to have temp - oil pressure - boost, preferably mounted on the pillar similiar to MAC1 awesome beast in the rides section with possible voltage reading in anticipation of big sounds next weekend. a. where from b. electical or mechanical c. diy or garage jobby. d. relative ease if diy. in all honesty, not doing it for vanity - need to know what car is doing, but if your gonna bring three …

thank you very much for your award ,dilbrain.

Are these headunits still available anywhere?? Ta

Just a warning to you lot. If you're thinking of going out in the Z tonight, watch out, especially round the Derbyshire area cus its very greasy. I've just bin out to do a few light test runs and ended up sideways round corners when only doing around 30-40MPH. The worst bit was when I free spun at 50MPH in 3rd. Anyway, you have been warned.

Hi guys (n gals)? Anyone know how much of a sod it is to fit poly bushes all around (front and rear)? Does it require a work pit and special tooling? And if so, do you know anyone who can do it? The rear end seems to tramline quite badly and wanders quite a lot, at first I thought it was dampers but I thought I'd try this fix first. I've done the HICAS diagnostic and it's ok. Anyway, I guessed it wouldn't be the HICAS as I couldn't believe Nissan would produce a car that felt that nervy at the rear end at even average speeds! Or am I wrong? Feedback required... Cheers

hi there i just fitted a jwt chip to my car zed today and what a difference in performance does anyone know what these chips do to give you such a performance gain?

Are there any garages / idividuals in South Wales who deal with 300zx's? My father has a TT UK car (non-import) and wants some advice on the gear-box/clutch. He says that when in reverse there isnt alot of power and feels as if the clutch is slipping, but hes not sure. Any phone numbers of relevant businesses etc would be much appreciated. Cheers

Spoke to Luke @ the z centre this am and have decided to invest in a set of 18's, is there any market for the stock wheels!!. They are mint with ex tyres and off of a uk tt cheers Dave
