I've been told that the wiring in 300s is not what it should be. Now given the fact that these cars have lots of wiring, could it be that this is the single greatest cause of problems in these cars.... ...over to Andy Duff...........

Chaps/Chapesses, This morning, I set out for work as normal, and everything goes tits-up! First off, I thought, hmmm, steering feels a bit heavy, and the speedos up to its usual trick of not really doing anything 'til warm (worse on cold mornings) ... then the HICAS light comes on ... oh well, top it up, I thought. Once the car's warm and the speedos working again, the HICAS light disappears and PS is fine:confused: Anyhow, then get some petrol, join the M20, accelerate up to 90-ish (overtaking Scooby;) ), then there's a jolt, and I'm slowing down - coasting in fact - Shite! No life from engine. Pull on to hard-shoulder, call AA, freeze my nuts o…

Further to reading a comment about the '99 bumper and the size of number plate I thought I'd investigate, here's what i found: The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) (Amendment) Regulations 2002 SI No. 2687 Characher height = 65mm Character width = 44mm (excluding 'I') Stroke = 10mm Verticle spacing between lines of characters = 5mm Space between, top and lateral edges of plate = 5mm Space between characters and bottom of plate = 13mm So, that means you can make a very small plate indeed! But, be prepared to fight if you get stopped because the regs state: (a) does not have European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval; and …

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…

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
