Someone gave me a link to the electrical diagram can i have it again i need to know which fuse supplies power to the head unit???????? Anyone reccomend someone who can fix the pull to the left on my steering????

I havent done one in far too long and as a result the colour of the fluid is red.....I can drain the radiator part no problem but there must be sooo much sediment in the block it keeps coming back red again - I have read on TT.net that there are Engine block drain plugs and although they dont recommend undoing them, the service manual shows this as the procedure and I'd at least like to have a look for myself....lus I'd like to do an engine flush and I dont want to do this if I cant drai nthe block as I cant guarantee I'll get all the crap out afterwards......Can anyone help on this or have any tips? Thanks in advance.

ive recently had a RPS 6 puck clutch & fidanza flywheel fitted to my car, after having it fitted the car would not start. at first it was assumed ther was a problem with the mounting of the starter motor as the bolt holding it in place had stripped the threads in the hole where it is located. yestarday i helicoiled the hole and fitted the starter tight against the gearbox. the car still wouldnt start. i took the starter of and had a look, after inspecting i am now sure that the starter motor is too close to the flywheel, and is hitting the flywheel instead of meshing with it. has anyone else had this kind of problem when fitting uprated clutch & flyw…

Hi All, Been trying to resolve a rotten clunking noise when applying the brakes in reverse - particularly when cold. Took it into the local monkey house and they reckon you can see the wheels jerking with play - they reckon the top link arm bushes (?) but cheaper and easier to fit complete arms...There is also a nasty 'thump' from the passenger front wheel area when applying the brakes hard going forward or gently when going over bumps/up kerb. I've had the torsion/tie bar bushes replaced already. Any ideas anyone?? Could anyone supply a part number for the top link arm please?? Andyduff - if you read this, please mail me your number (lost it :-(), I c…

On the subject of tracking i had the alignment sorted out on Saturday as the car was pulling to the left,the alignment was done last thing Saturday so i took it down the M4 to check,guess what it felt no different. Sunday went to quick-fit who used the old fashined light set up and the tracking was still out!!!!! He then set it up and i took it for a spin.Guess what the ****ing thing still pulls.There is some wear on the left wheel inner tyre but i doubt it could cause this. I need to get this sorted this week does anyone know someone in West London that can help? Also i've sorted all the wires ready to fit the head unit but no power to the cables.Can …

Hi there just introducing myself. I bought my 300 tt 2+2 last month, its a 92 jap import on a j plate, lovely red, mostly standard at the minute apart from a boost upgrade and bonnet bulge...........wont be standard for too long though!!!! must say this seems like an ok site.. hoppy

Just a quick hello to everyone i met from here this weekend at Grasshopper Pro Sport's open 'weekend'. You're not a bad bunch really, despite what people say LOL. Does anyone have PPS's website address/tel number/e-mail addy please ? Chris C very kindly supplied one of Peter's (think that was his name !) cards, which was handed into my local petrol station along with £10 less than i should have paid (mistake, honestly guv LOL). Cheers Cossie

Hi, I am a 300ZX wannabe, who lives near Guildford, Surrey. I have been checking out ZX sites for a while, and was wondering if any of you could recommend a decent Nissan/ZX Garage for servicing my Z(when I get it..) any help would be cool...

hello all z lovers i,ve just discovered a leak in my auto box.Its not from engine side looks like its around where the gear lever fits. there,s what looks like a plastic shroud around end of the box oil is present there, also there is no leakage when car is stopped ,so its when parts are moving ,and oil i suppose is hot the leak is occuring then, anybody encountered oil problems with their autobox :(

Chaps, just to say if you guys have any second hand bits for sale let me no. From any of my posts tonight. E.G. Perfprmance exhasut etc

Hi there i´m rebuilding the engine in my ´93 TT and discovered that the block has a crack or a hole were one of the nozzle that sprays oil under the pistons used to be. It also needs a rebore so i´m wondering if u guys know were to look for a new one (secondhand). As I am from Iceland there are not many laying around here. There are maby 10 TT cars here and a few N/A. Please don´t mind the spelling. Siggi

If im replacing the exhaust, then i might as well bubble rap the cats. I heard if you don't replace the cats with a correct diameter pipe. There is not enough back pressure left, resulting in over boosting and turbo problems. So those chaps that have replaced there cats with straight through pipes, where have you got them from and have you had any turbo problems?

Which is the best conversion kit? I have seen a few about and tried one that pluged in between the ECU and the cablem loom but this was not compatible!!!

Yes i have decided to keep my 300 and throw yet more money at it. Anyone replcaed the sterring wheel with a non standard one? If so where did you get it? And did you need a boss? Also what did the whole operation come in at?

Chaps bought a head unit for my import. Be buggered if i can get the metal case to fit in any of the two holes. Any one had this problem and found a way round? Need some way to fix it in?

Yet another one. Decided, getting me a set of 19x8.5 wheels. Going to run 245's all the way around on the advie of Luke. Where do I get these sensible priced Toyo Proxies? You chaps recommend them don't you?

Again. Whats the best? Where do I get it? How much?

Chaps, I want a loud, performanc exhaust. Which is the best? Where do I get it? How much will it cost? Do I just need from the cat back to get extra performance or do I need more? Cheers.

just received my zx300 and proud of it it drives lovely and hope to enjoy this group:)

Hi I am about to purchase a Nissan 300zx but people have told me to buy it direct from japan using a website called "futurautos". Is it alot cheaper doing this and if so can anyone give me some advice!! I dont like the idea of paying for a car that I havnt seen!!! Thanks very much Tom

On the lowere left of the dashboard, there are 6 warning lights. This morning a red light marked HICAS came on for a few minutes and then went off. Any idea what it means. I saw on another site that there are 6, never had one light up before but none of the letters mean anything to me.. Thanks Chris

how good is castol magnatech for your z engine against other oils which ones ;)

Greetings to all Z Forum members...I'm a new Z owner and this is my first post...just wanted to say "hi" :D

Hi all, I'm having a few problems wih my larm. It's a Laserline 996 V2. Now and then (and getting more often) when I arm my alarm it arms and then gives three short beeps. I know that if I walk away now then the alarm will go off within a couple of minutes. This is supposed to happen when one of the doors is not shut or the lights are still on etc. But I can't find anything not shut or not on. Anyone know what these beeps are or does anyone have or know when I can get an instruction manual to look this up ?. Help needed as my car is unprotected.

I love my n/a 2 seater z, with its big stainles exhaust note and incredible handling and road holding, but would i prefer a tt, does the handling suffer is it much worse on fuel and if nothing other than a modded subaru has ever kept up with me ???, in real terms how much quicker can a car be?? has any one ran both a tt and a na, i am tempted but scared as mine is mint but wonder what a tt would be like and it wont go away HELP
