I don't ****ing believe it bought a second hand clock £25 including delivery etc etc etc,worked fine for two days now it's dead!!!!!! Is there another digital clock i can use apart from the standard Nissan clock???????????? As it's been a subject of the past i just feel they've had problems with this part and i'd rather just get something else.............. I also think that if i get it fixed it'll probably go wrong again!!!!!

Hey all My Import has cruise control, but it doesn't seem to work. I've got 3 buttons on the steering wheel "Acc", err can't remeber the other 2, but these don't seem to do anything:confused: . What do they mean? The CC button on the console makes a green "cruise control" indicator light up on the dash when pressed, also another "cruise" green light has been on at some point, though I can't remember how i did it :rolleyes: :) . Shouldn't i just have to press the CC console button then it should stick to the speed i'm doing? This doesn't happen, it decelerates. Is there a diagnostic I can do? Cheers for any input people Pete

Hi guys, I will be buying a Z in about 4 weeks or so, and waz wondering if any of you have used Eurospec 2000 in camberly before? They are only about 3 miles from my office, and would be right handy to get the Z serviced... :)

I had an email from someone who had asked me about the 350Z, but I cant find it now. I have some prices for the car direct from Japan. The basic car is 25k up to £26.5K depending on the model. Leigh

Hi all...I am new to the the Z family. I inherited my mom and dad's 1985 300Z about 2 years ago. It hasn't given me a bit of trouble until now even with 243000 miles on it. But I drove over a speed bump and now the dash indications don't work. No fuel, tach, speed, oil press, temp, battery.....nothing...all black acrossed the board. I have the original shop manual for this year and I am going to start with checking the combination gauge....page EL-83. What ever that is.....any other ideas? I also hear that it is also a common problem for it to have a bad hesitation during acceleration while it is warming up. But after its warmed up then it runs like a champ.....

Do you know http://www.zedworld.co.uk/ Good or bad reputation ? Inquiring mind wants to know.... All informations are welcome... Zee you Henri

Picked up my first Z this Sunday. A 91 auto TT in pearl ruby red. I am still getting used to the power - if you get the auto box at the right time and kick down at the right speed and revs, its awesome. Trouble is with my new toy is that I keep doing it. I just filled up with petrol before coming home, had dinner, shower etc... then a voice in my head called me and said "Drive me again" I jumped into the Z and went up and down the A14. I have done just 45 miles and used a quarter tank, OUCH:( :( :( :( Is this normal:confused: Will I have to hide the keys from myself when I get home ??????

Anybody else running with a MINES ECU

Hi, finally I'm gonna fit my Bovs 2morrow, instructions are in Jap, ive had a look at Andy P's link, still not 100%. Has anyone fitted these Bovs before?, are there any tips or advice that you can give? Many thanks, D UK

Ok, this may have been suggested before but..... Goosehonk comes about when an aftermarket filter is fitted. This is because the new filter is far less restrictive and allows the air blown into the intake tract by the recircs, to blow back past the MAS and out of the filter. This doesn't happen with the stock airbox as it is far more restrictive. Replacing the recircs will not cure the problem - maybe fitting faulty seized ones will though ;) So, infact, the recircs are not even doing their job - the whole idea is to retain the air in the system once it has passed the MAS (its been measured into the engine so the ecu will fuel for it). So, what's your excuse…

Pioneer p8000r unit in car, what disc changers will go with it? It doesn't say in the book:confused: Or what can 'Bob' the buttons advise. harve

Hey guys I'm looking for some help on a mates Z . The car will start from cold and run ok until it gets up to temp...... then it splutters and dies and refuses to start. Is there a known problem that fits the description? I'm thinking along the lines of a temperature controlled switch / valve? The car has recently had new PTU's, so I'm hoping these can be ruled out Thanks in advance

I don't suppose anybody knows the right part numbers for original rear struts and springs for J-spec Auto , having a nightmare with local nissan dealer they have come up with about 3-4 different part numbers

Just dropped my TT SWB into Nissan to figure out why she isnt dropping from second gear. I told them it should be compatible with consult but they said because she's an import they are not compatible. He couldnt find where to connect his consult connector to. Surely this cant be correct???

In response to earlier topics about oil additives and how good engine oils are... Only top-tier oils (the best and most expensive) are formulated for the best performance. Whether they could be significantly better (for normal use) is doubtful. The reasons for this are... 1. Oil additives do some wonderful things like reducing friction, reducing wear, reducing oxidation and dispersing soot particles etc.. But, only so much is beneficial, because... Additives to reduce wear and friction COMPETE with each other, and there is only so much surface area within an engine. Additives do not LUBRICATE. The base oils lubricate the engine, so excess additives mer…

Hi, Does anyone who has run their own speaker cable to the fronts from the head unit mind sending me some information on how to go about it? My original wiring is shot and I want to run some new wiring. I've got no problem removing the head unit, and getting to the back of it, and I don't have any trouble taking the panels off the doors either. My only worry is how (and where) to run the wires from the back of the head unit, and through the rubber wiring tunnel to the door. I'm assuming I'll have to remove some panelling like the glovebox and/or bits of the dashboard, but I've not done this and can't find any info about doing this. Are there any pit…

As a young man, Norton was an exceptional golfer. At the age of 26, however, he decided to become a priest, and joined a rather peculiar Order. He took the usual vows of poverty, chastity, but his Order also required that he quit golf and never play again. This was particularly difficult for Norton, but he agreed and was finally ordained a priest. One Sunday morning, the Reverend Father Norton woke up and realizing it was an exceptionally beautiful and sunny early spring day, decided he just had to play golf. So... he told the Associate Pastor that he was feeling sick and convinced him to say Mass for him that day. As soon as the Associate Pastor left the room, Fath…

Does anyone know if a T25 turbo off a 300zx will fit on a 200sx as a direct replacement?. My mates turbo has just blown so he's looking for a cheap fix.;

Hi All, I'm getting a replacement exhaust system from Top Gear. They are doing the whole system in stainless including front pipes (good price too!). The guy was on about not being able to do the actual downpipes 'cos they have some tubes coming off so they leave these in place and sleeve the new pipes just in front of where the cats used to be. Are these tubes the AIV connectors?? Can they be safely removed? I'd sooner have the whole thing in stainless if possible. TIA! RobH

...required for my '91 import, drivers side.

Hi all, I need help ! ;) You're probably going to tell me where to go with this one, but would anyone like to help me out getting a few 300zx's on my home page ?. I've set up two picture galleries. One for meetings and another entitled "Your 300zx's". At the moment I've only got my car on there. All I need it 6 photo's, front, rear, side, interior, engine and boot (with or without ICE). I know some of you have these already in the rides section, but I don't want to put them on my site without your permission. Anyone want to help me out ?

Morning, Can anyone tell me the part number for the exhuast gasket that goes between the pre-cat and the turbo on the passanger side. Phoned Nissan's this morning and they say there's no pre-cat on a 92+ car.................why am I not suprised? Cheers Vijay

Anyone have a price/part number and contact for where I can but Samco hoses from, like the big blue 'beasties' here I think that this is Fat Tony's car - forgive me if I'm wrong. Thanks Tim
