Got myself a Z over the weekend but seems to have 2 probs. 1. Speedo doesnt always read correct, but after seaching the forum i have an idea what to do. 2. There doesn't seem to be that much power in 1st and 2nd. I'd of thought the revs would rocket up and ud accelerate hard. My rover 620Ti i think accelerates harder up to about 50. Any suggestions? Thanks Rob.

I'm having a problem with my z in that when im driving the car is like "jerking" especially going uphill. I've checked the usual things oil, fuses, etc. All seem to be ok. Anybody have this problem before. Please help lads. I'm a bit worried about driving the motor. Could it be low oil in the gearbox???

My exhaust is starting to blow, damaged caused by high speed bumps I think. It was pointed out to me when I got my MOT. However when looking at it, it looks more down pipe than exhaust. How far back does the down pipe go? If it is the down pipe, and I have to replace them, should I go decat or not? In the end is the damage it does not worth it? Stuart

Where can I find info for removal of the intake manifolds? My engine has a lot of miles on it, and I get the feeling there's still a lot of junk in there that I'm missing. ------------------ --Maxx

hi, just a thought might be well wrong but mine started to make a funny noise.so on closer inspection found a pipe had come out of its holder/fitting,this pipe comes from the aiv's up to the inner wing its about 1/2in diameter and goes to the inner wing like a breather?its doesn't have a pipe on the other side(engine bay)which you cannot see anyway covered by fuses(drivers side) but after i had connected this pipe back into its proper place the noise when't away! This pipe is easiest to see if you take the wheel arch liner out and look up to where the side indicator is then look across to the opposite side??? sorry for the shite desription, --hth-- --neil--

Fook me I'm pissed but she had the most fantastic figure and offered it on a plate and I had to be home for a miserable bitch who only knows how to open her legs for a doctor every few years... Sob Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! (bet that's not in the swear filter ) LMFAO How come I'm such a stud? No sarcastic comments please... asking for it big time! LOL

ive been thinking... dangerous i know but here goes.... If an oil is fully synthetic, ie completely man made then it must contain no real oil ie the crude black stuff that comes out the ground. so if it doesnt contain real oil, then what is it made of? nelson over to you.

I keep hearing about these companies ? Could someone please explain what services they offer along with addresses and phone nos.? I've heard they're cheaper than the z centre ?

I can't find any. I want to see what they look with one, as I think I want to get one. Anyone know a link to any pics ?

I have a slight oil leak. I am thinking this may require engine removal to sort it. If engine out was necessary, for this or any other reason, WHAT MODS WOULD BE WORTHWHILE DOING AT THIS TIME ? Note my engine is stock, but I would like to mod it at some stage - exhaust/airfilter/ECU/exhaust wrap/etc.? MY plan so far with my Z has been to wait until something major needed doing before starting serious engine mods.

Id like to thank Jeff for all the hard work hes done for me over the past few days, what some of you dont realise is Jeff was checking the White L plate Zed out for me which in the long run (or most probably short) would of cost me a bloody fortune, Jeff drove a long f**king way to see this car for me b4 i bought it, to find out its a wreck and when he posts it in forums to help people out all some of u do is slag him off, Jeff went well out of his way to help me with this car inspection and posted it to help some people who r newbies out, Yes i have payed Jeff (well as at the moment i havnt And jeff has not once asked for the money which he will get asap this week),…

For anyone who has or is suffering probshaft vibration, changed another centre propshaft on a customer`s car and remembered to take a picture of it. As they are mentioned a lot thought a picture may help visualise the problem for anyone who has not seen one, this one was wrecked and the excess movement was terrible, no wonder it banged a bit, all ok now though.Except the £150 Nissan price for the bearing kit!! Jeff TT

I'm organising a group buy on Front Camber Correction Kits for all of us with front inside tyre wear. A lot of Z's suffer from camber out of specs. With too much negative camber the car doesn't drive in a straight line very well, has less tread on the road and the insides are worn out very fast. The reason for this can be wear or damage in the suspension, the use of lowering springs or non-standard wheels. This is an alignment problem which can't be solved at your local tyre centre because the camber can't be adjusted on a Z. The Kit contains 4 brackets which replace the original ones, 20 shims for adjusting the camber in steps over a wide range (up to 2 …

Am I on my own here? Shell Optimax has no performance/economy gain at all If I use normal unleaded it seems no different than paying almost 10p a litre more. ------------------ KEEP IT SIDEWAYS;).

Unfortunately i finally have to sell my Z to raise money for a deposit on some property: It's Black Manual TT UK 385BHP (On normal unleaded, significantly more with Optimax). 68K on the clock with mileage verification certificate. HPI clear Warranty Tax, MOT New Engine/Gearbox/Turbos/Clutch etc fitted by Nissan at 54K. a supurb car £7500

I was up at PPS yesterday doing a few bits on the Z monster and it's starting to look the dogs danglies. All the kit is on and just needs sanding down and painting Got my new zorst from Grasshopper/JP Exhausts and it's looking awesome. 2.5" pipe straight through from front with no cats, hardly any baffles in the back boxes and 5" tips The veilside side skirts have blended into the wide arches superbly - a bit like Andy E's white monster Z but slightly differently and IMHO better looking. Got the Razo shifter fitted which was a bit fiddly but fairly straight forward. Discovered another difference between Jap import and UK cars when fitting the b…

I had one head and both gaskets replaced back in March when my oil system dumped into the coolant. Now I suspect I'm getting blowthrough of gas from the engine into the coolant which I suspect may be the head gasket again. i) Could it be anything else. ii) If it the head gaskets what are my chances of getting it fixed free of charge by SE who did the original work. Grumble!!

I had an airlock in my coolant system that I think I've at last managed to get rid of. Ran the engine with the climate control system on max. Reved the engine several times while refillig via the filler cap with the other radiator cap off. One hell of a lot of air came out in large gulps BUT leaving her idling I still see what I would describe as "Micro Bubbles" continuously appearing at idle. Could this still be trapped air or is it something much worse?

Due to demand I am starting another Intercooler group buy I am looking to finish the buy on the 10th of September. The Intercoolers are £410.00 plus shipping which works out to around£38 shipping to the uk. please mail me for further details thanks. If anyone wants reference to these intercoolers they have been used by members of this forum. warren. i can have these buy the end of the month if i close of on the 10th. z300@btinternet.com
