Inside the front bumper grille is a wire that runs to a little black block. This in turn sits on a rusty/chrome stirp which is bolted to hte underside of the black plastic grille. Is this the ubiquitous exterior temperature sensor???? Nick :cool:

Finally got the front bumper off last night and noticed there appear to be 2 washer bottles, one on drivers side & one on pass side. The drivers side is full and works, apparently for the windscreen but what does the bottle on the passenger side do as this one is empty and dry as a bone??? Nick :cool:

Just a word to the wise recently got fed up with the tatty state of the front bumper on my 1990 TT jap import. Asked Nissan for a new one and was told they could not supply. apparently the 99+ front bumper is now "original" spec. Called insurers with this "modification and had to fight like a git until they saw my point. They even called Nissan to find out if I was lying or not (trust is a beautiful thing), So if your old front bumper is bad, get a 99+ style. It cannot be classed as a modification, new laws on plates mean that you get a nice small front number plate and the 99+ bumper looks the balls. Nissan just get it so right sometimes. Just thought…

Do I replace the first 3 solenoids??? She is a Jap spec SWB Jan 1994 series 3 car. Are the solenoids in the Jap autobox different to the UK spec solenoid? Thanks Roy

Driving to work this morning, my speedo decided not to work and then the HICAS light came on - all other instruments were normal. When I arrived I turned the engine off and started her up again - everything worked. What could be causing this problem? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Has anyone had to re-align their door ? Mine is rubbing the paint with the catch and seems to have dropped. I'm guessing that I need to remove the fender to get at the hinges/bolts. DIY or Nissan Job ? Advice please. Thanks

Anyone got one of these fitted or similar and is it worth having? Might get one if I end up converting to a manual box. http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CP&Product_Code=Z32-SHIFT

I wasn't doing any more than 44mph according to my speedo on the 200SX & the camera flashed several times. BUT, I was driving towards the camera, ie., the camera was on the other side of the road facing me. There was nothing else on the road at the time as it was 1:20am! I thought they couldn't do you from the front. (oops, that sounds rude:rolleyes: ) So what the Fook is going on?!!:( If they try to do me then I'm going to say that it was a friend who was over from the States who borrowed my car, F***k them!!:mad:

No not funny ha ha, funny wierd :D. Sounds like a fan being turned on and off, coming from the back/underside of the car when idling warm. Any ideas? Cheers Pete

I have ordered some new 52mm gauges to put in my empty din, oil pressure, boost and water temperature. How can I put the new Water Temp sensor and the stock sensor on at the same time? I have been told there are no T-Peices for it. Can I use the same one from an oil pressure T-Peice? Stuart Stuart

Hi All, Took my Z to an auto specialist (Chester Automatic Transmissions) - fair play, it's a good place and they know what they're on about. They do a lot of work on Z autos, had another one in besides mine. Anyway, they reckon it's lunched, fluid was almost black, leaking seals, magnet swamped by fine particles, aluminium streaks in the fluid odd bits of metal. I only took it in to have solenoids replaced :'( Going manual now :-) as they want £2000+ to replace the autobox. Anyone know where I can get this done (apart from SE - too far and don't have £1000 to spend!!) I have a brand new 90 Jap auto three solenoid kit (shift A, B and LP) and trann…

Guys, Finally got around to purchasing a headunit and some component speakers this past weekend. I'm really looking forward to installing it as I've now plodded around for the last year and a half listening to Terry Wogan's lame jokes on Radio 2 on my Jap-spec radio. Anyway, I am not the most proficient lad when it comes to audio install so I thought I'd first ask a few questions before ripping the car apart! I bought an Alpine CDA-7893R headunit which is powered directly from the car battery (20-amp wire required). I understand that I can utilize the bonnet cable hole to pass the wire through the bulkhead but is there any other location to pass it through?…
