anyone on here fitted the clear rear lenses that are offered on ebay. Are they easy to fit?

Andyduff was dead right. It aint brake pads clonking. Its the pivot bolts in the poly bush inserts. I re checked the pivot bolts on the tension rods and one took a quarter turn and the other where most noise came from took the best part of a full turn. Result no more clonks when you reverse and brake. And I thought I tightened them up properly when I did the poly bushes! Willie

where do i find the online service manual nowadays. Thought it was around here somewhere.

How do people rate them i read somewhere that they were one of the best both for filtration of the air and hp gains also are they loud cos i bum loud :D

The two suspension bushes that are on the top of the hub assembly that are atteched to the upper link rear and upper link front have gone on both sides and in turn has knaked my bridgestones in about 3k :( went to Nissan and they said they were £8 each but there on back order and it could be a month till they can get them they said the part num was 55157 33poo is this correct may be miss read as it is hand writen by dealer any one got any sugestions. I looked at poly bushes but they dont seam to include these ones and realy didnt want to spend too much ether cos ive got to shell out another few hundred quid for some new tyres cos in the last week its taken about 1 mm …

whats the web site address? thanx

here's an odd one, every so often when i boot down in me Auto TT then the boost just doens't kick-in, its only happened 3 times now, and i'd normally be doing about 40/50mph when i boot it to overtake, anyone else had this, its nothing to do with safety boost or something has it? anyway any ideas much appreciated. Just changed the brake pads for some yummy ebc red-dots but man the brakes in the Z are a load of s**t aren't they? did i read somewhere that the skyline calpiers and disks can be fitted? anyway happy Z'ed in, especially now we starting to get some ice on the roads in the morning, so come on then who's gonna be driving there Z over winter?....... …

What is going on? I thought that with the upgrade of the forum things would go from strength to strength but I have to say it's gone backwards! At least on the old setup there were loads of fights, fall outs, pics and funny posts that kept it interesting. Since we moved over I have to say IMHO it's gone sour! No more hilarious threads, no more daft pics and to be perfectly honest a loss of posts from hardcore members it's nothing short of fcuking sh1te!!! New forum has been up and running now for a few weeks and it strikes me that it's going downhill sharpish. Die hard techies are propping the whole thing up with boring tech talk but the whol…

Does everyone else spend 10mins filling up the ZX with petrol, as the pump constantly cuts out if you give it full whack? Dont mind in the summer but now its winter...:) Barry

is there some sort of safety feature to prevent from high levels off boost being run whilst the engine is still coldish. Its just after about 3 miles the temp. guage is in middle , so nice and warm, but when put foot flat on floor the engine kind on dies and i end up shooting forward on to the steering wheel. This has happened 3 times now and seemed to be the same feeling as when I tried turnibg the boost up to about 18psi for go. Is it just the injectors running out or something else?

I know nobody here probably means any offence but could we please refrain from using the expression Jap on the forum. I've worked beside Japanese people for a bit and it's not liked. J-spec or Japanese takes a bit longer to type but it's nicer.

Hi, After some advice regarding lightened flywheels. Seen the recent article in Jap Performance and it mentioned that lightened flywheels give better throttle responese. Currently about to purchase an upgraded clutch(ACT) from America so thought about purchasing a flywheel aswell. How does the flywheel affect the performance and what are the advantages/disadvantages? Any recommendations on makes of flywheel available? Thanks Ronnie

Anyone ever had the inlet manifold off their 300 TT. I have an oil leak below it and due to access to pipes under the manifold being restricted, am wondering if the engine will need to come out. Cheers John Crisp

Does anyone have a link to or copy of the dashboard warning lights ,what they are and when they should be doing it. My new Jap Z aint got no user manual!

Has any one got any Non standard wheels out there with tyres!!!! Someone must no of someone that has a set of wheels!!!!!

Hi, Can someone send me a pic of a Red UK TT Z completely stock, preferably a nice one, with the number plate blanked out? Regards, Mark Hanley

Believe this is caused by the rubber 'feet' on the tailgate becoming worn, but does anyone know where I can get some new parts from - Curtesy Nissan don't list them (or not that I can see anyway), and I don't have a Nissan dealer near me? SE? AndyZ?

All, Some advice please! What are the fundamental pros and cons of buying an import? I already know that it'll cost me an extra 250 quid per year to insure if it's from Japan, but I'm thinking that imports tend to be less pricey to buy in the first place. So - if I get a Jap import, and keep it for two years, I'll have broken even! There are other things that worry me though. * Isn't there some evil super-low speed limiter, that if I was to tinker with would alter my insurance some more? * I've heard some worrying things about the quality of cars imported from Japan (probably gonna get flamed now :p ) * Will I struggle with emmissions tests e…

as it says, is there any "standard" for what stage your car is for the mods done, or do you just make it up?? ;)

:rolleyes: Acording to http://www.g35driver.com 20,000 new Zs to be recalled, due to fuel lines coming off,america and canada models,ooops,bet that scares em,!nothing changes does it!:eek:

Hi peeps, I've got a small engine problem that someone out there may have an answer to; when the engine revs level out after accelerating or de-celerating rather than continue cruising smoothly at level revs they dip at half second (ish) intervals by about 400 revs for about 2 seconds then level out. Any ideas? Also, my leaky targa roofs are really starting to p*** me off severely as they leak both on passenger side and drivers, right on my leg when I'm driving. Any ideas how I can stop it? Any thoughts on either of the above will, as always, be massively appreciated. Ta.:confused:

Hi all. Have not really posted before but here goes! This is a great video, about fifteen minutes, promotional Z32 video by Nissan for the American market I believe. Unfortunately, there is Japanese speech over the english on this one so its not perfect. Also, the first sequence will flicker every few seconds for about a minute, and then will stop and be fine for the rest of the video Right click - save target as Enjoy!!!! GREAT ZED VIDEO!!
