Thinking of fitting one of these boost controllers to the car - anybody know anything about them or is running one? Any useful advice welcome. Cheers Mark

I've had a creaking noise coming from the drivers side front suspension for a little while. I had the car up on ramps on Sunday and had a good look around to make sure nothing was loose and also tightened up the front torsion bars fully but I've still got this creaking noise which happens on bumpy roads. Anyone have any idea what it could be?? Cheers Vijay

HELP! - I have managed to pull out all the standard stereo bits from my UK spec Z and on installing a Kenwood KDC8090R with a adaptor cable nothing happens, no power! It would appear that nissan do not offer an earth through their wiring harness (The old set up was grounded directly). Would I be best screwing this cable directly to my new head unit or attempting to atapt (bodge?) it to the harness, or have I missed something, Thing is when I plug the old radio part back in without grounding It it works (maybe because it is grounded through the aerial?) cheers -- Peter

Hi, I've had a little wierd problem on my Zed ever since I bought it two years ago now. If I'm cruising at say 60mph and then give it some throttle, my engine temp needle will dip down sometimes upto a centimeter, but when I've finished accelerating it sits back at the usual, just below the middle point. Oh and the thermostat was replaced as part of a full up rebuild around 8 months ago. Any ideas? Ben.

There is something strange going on here. My post "Can we put 300zx's on ramps" now has Andy duff at the top commenting on Ajay's signature. My other post "I thought my Engine has blown up :( " says Andyduff was the last one to post, but yet I can not see his comment made at the end of the thread ???? Are we having server problems ? Can anyone else see this or is it just me ?

Andy i've took out the clock this morning and yes i've lost your address again,can you ping it over? How long will it take to fix? Cheers Al

Why are there 2 electrical wires going to the bit the seatbelt buckles into on the side of the seat?? I know its not one of those lights that tell you youre not wearing a belt as i never wear mine, but get no lights on the dash:confused:

Ive re installed my stereo and so far it hasnt tripped off like it used to, I think the reason it was doing this was because of a spasticated rear fog setup with the relay for it screwed to the stereo cage (not done by me) but when i try to put it all back together the rear fogs now dont work at all, is it possible to blow a relay??? or have i simply wired something up arse about tit? I really dont want to take the radio out again, bur i must be getting good at it now as i got that funny bit of plastic above the radio to click in place first time!!! And i only lost 1 screw into the abyiss down the side of the seat!!

Is PPS going to visit GPS this week?

Sold the Zed yesterday to the first person who looked at it. It still hasn't sunk in yet. I picked up its replacement (an Audi A4 diesel estate) this morning and was bored in about 5 minutes. The Zed was 13 years old and still had more gadgets and stuff to keep me entertained I might be back with another Zed at some point once I can get some cheaper insurance, hope the new owner enjoys it as much as I did
