My autobox for a 1990 TT has recently given up and now considering the options. After reading previous posts regarding the auto to manual conversion wondering if this is a viable option. Does anyone know where I can get the manual box and related parts from?? Thanks Ronnie

At the beginning i used to tell them thats a Nissan 300ZX. Typical response. "Thats a Nissan!!!! When Nissan made such a car?" Well nowadays my answer is this.."Its a Z" Then they ask me "Made by whom?" Me: Its made by a Fairlady. Do I have to give more explanation? I believe that its better for them not to know what car is it. What u think?

How long do Iridium plugs last? I know the Nissan/NGK original plugs were good for 60,000miles but this seller on ebay says 250,000 for the iridium plugs. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1864335304 I'm sceptical to say the least. Does anyone have the answer?. and - Shameless Plug - anybody want a catchy domain name? mine's for sale. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2058136155

hey guys...I just got a 91 TT..does anyone have any sound clips? I dont know what exhaust system to buy.....any help? Thanks guys

Hi guys, This is how the story goes: I was driving along quite happily and the engine cuts out, IIRC the speed and revs dropped to 0 instantly, I might be wrong about that though, it might have just been wishful thinking - I was busy trying to get the bloody thing to a safe place with no vacuum assist on the brakes, no power steering, and no power! It wouldn't start up again until after 15 mins of cooling with the bonnet up. Suspected PTU; but I opened that up to fix it - all the connections seemed fine, I gave them all quite a good pull/wiggle. Where do I go from here? Could it be the CAS? The TPS seems okay, it was giving the correct voltage during t…

Dear Deirdri,when I was a young man it used to stand up but I could'nt bend it.It still stands up but I can bend it.I'm now 80yrs old, Am I getting stronger ? ------------------

Got to get my clutch sorted out, it's driving me nuts and had many thoughts with the words "For Sale" reciently. Anyhow, bled the system many times, finally got a pressure system attached to force any air out (20psi from the tyre) and still no luck. It must be the master, slave clyinder or piping... I have no ideas left... Anyhow, I hear you can get an upgraded slave cylinder, (I already had the Nissan later model fitted years ago), from RPS I think... has anyone have anything like this and got any comment? (ie. does it help the hot/cold pedal adjustment problem or is it not worth it) Jez.

Hi guys, Just wanted to find out if Iridium plugs are any better than stock spark plugs? Would they lead to any significant improvement in performance and/or BHP as i only replaced mine about a month ago. Thanks "AMMAR"

ive been speaking to jefftt about rear shocks for my jap truck. Hes quoted part number 56210-43p25............but my parts cd comes up with 56210-37p25. Is the parts cd that ive got only for uk spec cars? is there a jap nissan fast cd floating around out there??? i dont seem to have much luck in sticking my vin number in the box neither, i dont think it likes it, either my car is a duffer or im doing it wrong. it appears to want a 17 digit code, but my gcz32 numer is only 11 long. what am i doing wrong.. nissan havent complained about duff numbers on the vin plate when theyve used it for a search which makes me wonder if its only a uk model cd. any help mucho appr…

well i went to rockingham today, was having a great time until we drove into the pit lane and heard seriously loud banging noises from under the bonnet . had to get towed back to hull. looks like after spending 6.5k on my top end, the bottom end has now given up, at least it seems that way. christ knows how much it will cost this time, i could have bought a new car with the money i am spending on this 10 year old car. pissed off to say the least. steve

Hi, Some advice needed... My autobox has just given up the will to live (seems a common problem recently). Considering an auto to manual conversion but can anyone advise of any companies that have done the conversion and the cost of labour. From previous posts I gather the gearbox and parts can be had for approx £700-£800. Thanks [This message has been edited by Ronnie (edited 29-09-2002).]

One of the first things that people say to me when they comment about my car is, "I bet you pull the ladies in that?" Well, errrrrr, NO! Really there are only 2 types of female that go with people becuase of the car. First are the women who go for the BMW type, because they think that all BMW car really expensive and they think they are going out with a swarve rich twonk. Little do they know that only a very small portion of BMW are expensive and they are driven by fat cats who can store 2 days of food in the folds of thier 3 chins. A new MINI costs more than a new BMW 316. The second are 16 year olds who think that Neon washers, green neon lights under th…
