Ok, i spent a while replacing my timing belt and in the process the radiator + everythin was drained. Was about to fill it back up and err... no expansion Bottle? Where do i pour the coolant and to what level? Thanks Rob

I have a Zed imported into New Zealand from Japan, and I am trying to locate a new fog lamp following a car park encounter. The interesting thing is that this car has two bulbs in each cluster - one for fog light, the other for side-light - whereas the US ones have just one blub... I am wondering whether this is a mod required for NZ market, and whether UK zeds are similar (and so I might be able to get one, while I'm in UK on hol's)... Can anyone help?

Have been offered a 280ZX manual gearbox. Will this fit My SWB 300ZXTT (auto , but gearbox isnt working.) The guy who is selling said he will also do the conversion. He has all ready built a spanking 280zx from two crashed ones and seems quite handy. He says the 280's manual gearbox was the same as what is used in the V6 300ZX. Is this correct or is he talking about the 84-89 300zx?? And while on the topix is their any difference between the TT and NA manual box on the 90+ZX??

Hi Guys, Bit of advice would be nice... I was driving my 300TT manual yesterday...after about 15 minutes of driving i was going down a hill and nailed the throttle in 2nd. At 7/7500 rpm the rev limiter cut in, but it cut in a lot harder than it has done before - it was almost as though some one had put put the brakes on... It was fine as soon as the limiter had cut in, running as usual. It gave me a bit of a fright though. The car has been fine ever since - no smoke, no funny noises, running exactly the same. What was it? Has anyone else experienced this? Someone's told me it could just be the car giving me a 'slap on the wrist' cos the turbos h…

Went to see a mate of mine who works at Graham Goode in Leicester to see what exhausts he could source, told him i fancied the Blitz one but wasnt impressed that its not fully stainless, he showed me a HKS super dragger but i told him i didnt like the exhaust comming out of just one side, so he looks into it and they do a super dragger with a box on either side, and it looks sweet so thats what im having. Then i notice dump valves on his screen, which i quite fancy too while im at it but i dont know the crack with these, do i have to get hard pipes first or will the HKS ones come with pipes as i will want them mounting mac1 style. Any ideas? B19RKS

Is it poss for the needle to slip? When i am doing 80 and the car is still accellerating[that dont look right] , the needle dosnt seem to keep up if you know what i mean. The car is an import and the speedo was converted by the dealer. Is there any way of checking it? Thanks Jon

Just back from holidays in Spain after doing 2700 trouble free miles. Took car out for spin this evening and after 3 miles the power steering got heavy, then the Oil Diff/Lights/Batterry lights came on and car overheated after a couple of secs. Stopped the car immediately and got a tow home. On inspection none of my belts are turning. Just got Water pump timing belt and fan belt done 3000 miles ago by nissan. The nut at the centre of my flywheel seems to be loose and is tipping of the fan. Is this nut the only thing keeping the flywheel on?? Is the timing belt also connected here somewhere. If the flywheel isnt turning is my timing belt turning? …

Hi I want to get an uprated engine oil cooler, I know the UK spec ones are better. But do people know of any other alternative sources? I have found that Serck Aviation make coolers, that are sold by an Aus Zed company. I am currently trying to find out how much they sell em for, to us! Mark
