Anyone going near ZedWorld in the near future? Willing to pick up my car mats that I don't think were ever posted? I'm willing to pay postage / come and meet you somewhere to pick them up....I've already paid for them so would like to get some use out of them... Can't get hold of Jeff at the moment and he's not responding to PMs. Either reply here or email me as per profile. Cheers.

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

Can anyone tell me who the main dealer for Razo products is in the UK?, and how I can contact them,? Many thanks, D UK

If you have it, could you please ring me on 07790 870508. We're on our way to see a car and we can't get an answer from his work/mobile no. Failing that, does anyone have his address - if so can you ring above no. Many Thanks.:cool:

Just fitted some sweet alloys to me motor but not sure what torque settings to tighten them to and what pressures Can someone that has 18's on advise me please so I can try them safely.

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?…

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
