Hi, Question for the Z oracles out there? Will a TTengine and gearbox fit a NA propshaft and diff without any mods? I already know a TT prop won't fit a NA Diff! Mark

I have a standard 1991 manual TT import. Since fitting 18" rims MPG has dropped from around 19mpg to 15mpg under normal driving conditions. Fitted 235/40/18 front, 265/35/18 at the rear. I understand they are bigger than standard and will throw the speedo out slightly. but not to loose 4mpg? did calc, should only be 3%, anyone else had similar probs? Any Ideas? Also want a superchip. Does this affect mpg under normal driving conditions?

Anyone else tried this, one of mine has some play in it, so I'm planning on doing it soon. The one I'm talking about is the one that the HICAS arm fits onto that's pressed into the hub carrier. Just wondering how difficult it is, and if it can be done without taking the whole hub carrier off the car?

is n e one selling a chip not to fussed wot type i just need more boost lots more so can n e one help thanks.............

Are additives any good, well i thought so until i read this, ive used MOTORUP my last four cars and i noticed great things but i read this and there is doubt in my mind. READ THIS http://www.fernblatt.com/longhurst/additives.html Ray

Boys and girls. After getting down do do a couple of over due jobs on the motor today, I thought I'd check the ECU and see if all way ok. Apparently not. I am getting error code 33 and 53. According to the diags it could be: Harness and connector - where r they? fuel pressure injectors intake leaks. I have done a little search on the forum but not really found anything on this. Vijay had error 33 a while back but there was no follow up on teh thread. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you overcome it? I do not have any hard pipes. The only non stock item under the bonnet is a HKS mushroom filter. Cheers Cos

Live in Spain looking for a 300zx TT must be LHD (i know it's unlikely). Cost here is prohibitive for me (?15K). Prefer manual tranmission (but anything considered). I read the mail from Craig and realise this isn't the most appropriate forum - but I would have thought you want to promote trade ie WANTED adds for free. If I get the car I'll subscribe to your site!!:)

Putting on a replacement master cylinder today, ive drained the sytem and put it on, so what order shall i do the nipples when bleeding new fluid back in? And where in this cycle do the ABS nipples come? Any general tips would be useful to! :cool:

People, Can anyone tell me who it is on here that has there own vinyl lettering company. I bought some 300ZX graphics from them last year but I have deleted there mail and lost there address, and to top it all off, I have forgotten their name too. D'oh! So who was it then?

I am considering buying a 91 300zx TT from Ram City Motors in Derby, its done an indicated 34000 km(!) and looks in resonable condition for its age and price of £4995, there are a few rust patches (small), which they have agreed to fully sort for no extra cost. My questions are these: 1, Has anybody had any dealings with Ram City Motors before? If so was the experience good or bad? 2, Where would be the best place to get the car serviced around Derby? Other than at the local Nissan dealers, that is. Thanks in advance! ;-)

Always been a bit mystified by the MOT process. While the initial problems detailed on the GTO post 'clutch failure and coolant dump' are, I assume not detectable previously or required to be checked during the MOT the others later detailed i.e. 'Propshaft centre supports very badly worn with excess play,2 Tryes worn,front track rods and ball joints desperate for need to replace. How does the tester decide what is 'excess', 'worn' and 'desperate for need to replace'. Do they check against the manufacturers spec or is it a matter of the testers opinion/experience. Taking the 300ZX for an MOT next week have already ordered new discs all round as they are 'worn'. Don't k…

Hi people, my PS doesnt work, it occasionally starts again but then stops:confused: i thought to maybe change the pump, but then if the pump was gone then would it act erratically like this? Could it be an electrical prob? if any1 has any ideas please let me know! thanks jaz

I ordered new poly bushes for front tension arms, when i was installing them i was able to feel some play in the upper arms, i have been told that theremay be a very small amount of play in these, does anybody know how much ? i can feel the movement, but it is so little that it is not visable :p Has anybody tried pressing new bushes into arms or is this not possible..

if anyones interested check here £23 connection with free modem & microfilters im with Pipex & there very good imo.

Is there anyway of getting the pistons out without using an air compressor? Im bored, feel like doing the job but dont have access to one.

Hi guys, Anybody know of where i could get hold of them from?? cheers jaz

Just thought I'd update my situation about me missing a cyl after tinkering about last weekend. Changed plugs this morning-can't believe that after 4 plug changes I've only just thought of taping the socket onto the end of extension bar so it doesn't remain in the cylinder when you've tightened plug back up and pull it back out!!!! Also checked connectiond to injectors, all seemed fine. So, 6 new plat plugs all in................. broooooom!! ahh, lovely, so don't really know what the cause was or what I had disturbed to cause the miss. Had already checked TPS during the week so that was set spot on and now idle's better than ever, which I would say has more to do …

Hi all i have some 17" alloys for sale, they are in white and are still brand new and boxed and have never been fitted to any vehicle. They are team dynamics and are five spoke. Quite a nice wheel. I bought these but my car which i have ordered from Japan has already got 17" alloys on her. I have a pic but you will have to email me so i can mail it to you. Offers??? Ray

Thinking about sticking front fogs of a jap mobile onto my UK car, apparently they go where the sidelights are. So does that mean i have to connect up those stupid lights on the side that do nothing, making them do indicators and sidelights? Anyone else here done this? Any help would be cool. Cheers:cool:

Does anyone know of a Z / Jap car specialist somewhere between Oxford and Reading , or thereabouts? My Local Yokel garage offered to service/tune my Jap import , but I was a bit cautious when he asked if it was the diesel version ! ( I kid you not..) Cheers
