Cleaned aac valve out and all pipes around it, then went in to throttle bods and toothbrushed everywhere and squirted carb cleaner all over the place till u could eat your dinner out of them but she still hesitates almost cuts out if the revs are low to start off with??? wonder what else it could be, been on nissans diagnostic machine but shows up no faults any one else had this prob??

Hi All First post so please bear with me :) When the 300zx website was up and running there was a buyers guide which had pictures of, amongst other things, what the boost gauge and oil pressure guages should be reading if all was ok. Can anyone point me in the right direction or is it gone for good. I've read Japanese performance buyers guide etc and will be going to test drive a 90 import on Friday. Hopefully by Saturday i'll be one of the gang as it's far to cold for motorbikes at the mo. :D

Hello floods on 1/1/03 killed my Z, Water was sucked in to engine, removed plugs and run starter water went everywhere. Replaced plugs engine started then stoped with a clunk, no water in cilinders but engine will not turn over anymore can anyone help??? 92 Jap spec fairlady Z Twin Turbo

Ok, so we all have read a thousand threads about un-even tickover etc but please bare with me on this one. I have a new PTU (series 2 type) have had throttle pos sensor sorted, cleaned throttle bodies a month ago, but all of a sudden my revs are going nuts. On start up they go straight up to over 2000, this does die down but on slight acceleration, the revs seem to dip first before increasing, causing occasionally to stall and then tricky to start again. At the back of the engine (near dash) on rhs there are the connectors that I have been told control the revs when air-con is on. This is pretty f*cked, could this be my prob? Its very tricky to get to to take on and off…

Happy New Year everyone. I was wondering how good the ConZult Diagnostic tool was. Does anyone have much experience with it and if so is it any good. Cheers John Crisp

hi iam thinking of servicing my newly bought 300zx. i am based in coventry and was wondering if somebody could recommend a good person for the job. it would be great if the mechanic can sort out a few minor problem for minimal cost and explain some questions that i may have. i dont mind travelling as long as the person is reliable. cheers p.s. how much does the average service cost?

Ok...Fed up with my beautiful red Zed being the world's biggest paperweight in my Dad's workshops, does anyone know the easiest (and preferably cheapest) way of getting aforesaid paperweight from a location in Bedfordshire to a location in Lancashire? It will need to be taken up on a flat-bed trailer, so if anyone knows of anywhere that I can beg or borrow said trailer from or the cheapest method of getting it all the way up there, please can someone let me know. Cheers...

Anyone know when they re-open - is it before the 6th of Jan? Cheers!

I need to get a new centre bearing fitted to my Zed and i was wondering if Zedworld were worth going to and what experience you guys have had with them.In fact if anyone knows of a good mechanic in my area let me know, I live in Bury St edmunds in Suffolk.

Hi, can someone tell me/send me what the email says if you email craig with "join-300zx".. I just ask cos whenever i do it my outlook blocks the attachment, ive tried turning my security options right down but still no dice! Thanks Rob:cool:

A friend of mine........ No is isnt my Z its still in pieces. Friends got a 90 TT import, seems to run OK but when you go into positive boost the temp gauge plummets to cold and back to normal when off boost. Im sure its a simple one but im too simple too advise. Any answers?

Hi guys! HAPPY NEW YEAR Is there a turbo timer that fits in the stereo recess in the dash as my car has 2 stereo's fitted but i only really need one.

You ever wonder ..... Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin? Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed? Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"? Why is "abbreviated" such a long word? Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"? Why is it that to stop Windows, you have to click on "Start"? Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons? Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? When dog food is new and improved tastin…
