hi guys, my cc is not working, what would be the first port of call. Rich Sent from my Lumia 900 using Tapatalk

The next step on my na is the brakes and suspension, Already chosen the big brakes so that's easy But does anyone have any experience with compatibility on the Na? Seen loads of shiny bit japspeed, ams etc that do adjustable arms etc but will they fit an na? Just thinking fronts probably ok, but rears a different subframe... I know the coilovers will be fine.

As above but really I have to thank Mark, for his advice to my mechanic on sorting out an issue with one of the pedals. As the guy had never done a conversion on a z, he had made a mistake and had thought the clutch servo was for something else and all wasn't going in correctly, so he was for machining a bracket. So when I called at lunchtime Friday for a progress report to push him to finish the car, he showed me the problem. Phoned Mark and after he and the mechanic were free, Mark told him the mistake he had made and how it should go together with a few handy tips to get it sorted. So thanks again Mark for your help and advice as people on here have amazed…

Late night question for all you late night members :yawn: Name TWO other super cars that use the z32 300zx front lights?

bought some brembo brakes calipers and pads for the front and for a couriour purpose anyone know roughly what they would wheigh,cheers

OK - so the Zed has Gaz coilovers on rather than std suspension. This has created an even stiffer ride than the Teins I used to have and although this may be ideal for the track, just driving around is getting uncomfortable. Part of the problem is that although the rears have been adjusted to a soft setting (which makes the rear bounce), the fronts cannot be adjusted and are set on the stiffest level. So, I am after any ideas on how to make the ride more comfortable. Is it worth looking at other parts of the suspension at all? Any help appreciated. Greg

Hi all, hope someone can assist, When I started driving my Zed today i noticed it sounded different, and there was quite a clear squeaking coming from what sounded like one of the belts, When i got to my destination I took a look around the belts, and they didn't look great, but nothing substantial, just a bit old. But then I saw this sitting at the bottom of the engine bay: Now is this coincidence? or is this what is causing the noise? And if it is one of the belts, do you think I should not risk travelling to Japfest tomorrow, and just put it in the garage ASAP? Help would be much appreciated, Alex

Are these still available anywhere, last time I tried to get them from the Z Centre they were having fitment issues so not available. Im looking for a set ???

i have a tt auto converted to a manual will a manual ecu work or does it have to be a auto one?

To my disappointment the garage who has my car cannot read the codes even with the correct plug. Anyone else had this issue? Coming to point now where I'll just scrap the car as its driving me nuts!!! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Hi i'll be replacing my upper plenum gasket this weekend, any tips?

I need x 1 750 cc JSEC injector for my POS, can anybody assist pls

So decided to take a spin after a few months in storage and the car stalls in gear at around 3000rpm :sad: It revs perfectly fine in neutral. Checked connectors, plugs, air leaks and all seem fine. I haven’t got access to a Conzult but will run the manual ECU diagnostic at the weekend. I’m guessing it’s a fuelling issue (pump, fuel control unit, fuel filter?). Is there anything else I should look for? Thanks

So I'm not going after all, someone else was going to have the track time but they don't want it any longer. So I have 3 sessions going spare, can post today for delivery tomorrow or you can collect on saturday as I'm only 10mins from Castle Coombe. I know probably in the wrong section, but I'm not asking anything for them, though you're welcome to make a donation :)

Hi Guys, i need to lower the passenger window but the battery is flat. rather than wait overnight, can i hook up this 12V PSU to lower the window. i'm not starting or driving the car, i just need to lower the window. Would this be possible? Rich Pic below

Does anybody know the colour code for the non-metallic black paint used on early Zeds please?? As my car was originally silver, I can't get it off the plates under the bonnet and Body Mech need to know it... Thanks.

Have been a little worried as I have recently noticed a knocking noise when I press he accelerator pedal slightly , Changed the oil , no bits in there , still goes really well , no change in temp , pressure seems ok . My brother took her out and says she is fine and I am prob being paranoid . Just seems' to me' that its not right . So if there is anyone knocking around today 8th and wants to have a listen let me know . :thumbup1: All sorted - thanks to Mr Lee Dent :thumbup:

PCV Valve Function The purpose of the PCV System is to regulate crankcase pressure and ventilate blow-by gases from the crankcase into the intake manifold. The PCV system consists of the positive crankcase ventilation valve, grommet, tube and an air supply hose. Check around all of these fittings for any signs of oil leakage. Everything must be tight. Oil leakage indicates a problem with the system. The PCV valve uses spring pressure to hold the valve in the open position while the engine is off or when there is a drop in manifold vacuum like upon acceleration. This results in maximum crankcase ventilation. When the engine is at idle and cruise high man…

Looking for guidance to decipher whether my loom is faulty or an injector , long story short my car has a lower AFR on the driver side bank in comparison to the passenger side causing det , the paperslip that came with my injectors say 11.5 ohm but not to what this measurement relates , am I right to take to take this as a measure of resistance ? , if so across which pins do I check, likewise I want to check the loom and will measure the resistance at the injector connector , what reading should I see and across which pins do I measure please. Thanks Sayers

anybody want it , 0.00 pounds Im not going. collection only, text only , 07929159828 sayers

Some advice required please...I got myself one of these to stop driving with silent indicators on... . I figured maybe fit on hazard connector.... or indicator stalk... The instructions say pickup from the lights themselves, but obviously I do not want to be running metres of wire from there.... Can someone add some arrows to above pics, or is there an alternative to tell me where to pickup the L and R live, and the earth connection?
